Into The Forest

Chapter One

The last day of school was supposed to be amazing me and my boyfriend of three years where supposed to go to a party at Edward Sanches's he was the most popular kid in school. The day flew by quickly and every one was excited about it ending. After the last bell rang i ventured outside to find Alex my boyfriend but when i walked up to him he had another girl on his lap making out with him. Tears welled in my eyes as i stormed over to him I ripped th necklace off his neck and snached his phone both things i bought he smirked " oh no the freak finally found out I only used her for a tight pussy" he smirked at me as the girl wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his cheek. My warm tears pour down my face as I shove my gloved hands into my pockets. I turn away from Alex as he laughs at me with his friends. How could he do that to me? How could he say the three years we where together was all a lie? How could he cheat on me he said we would last forever that he loved me! The two mile walk home through the snow left me wet and shivering as i made my way to my bedroom on the third floor in the attic . I didn't want to be bothered I just wanted to take a hot shower and cry by myself. The water slowly warmed my freezing body I slide to the bottom of the shower as the tears started pouring down my face. I cried because Alex didn't love me he never did he used me to take my virginity. I cried for my only caring family that were lost to a fire many years ago in are summer cabin. My little sisters screams still haunt me at night, I can still remember watching my mother burn to death with my brother clutched in her arms as she tried to get him out. The nightmares have plaged me every night sense there death most times i wake up screaming my body drenched in sweat and my eyes red and puffy from crying so much in my sleep. My night terrors has made me have to lock my door at night my dad doesn't deal well with my night terrors, I guess it reminds him he left the stove on I must have fell asleep because I woke up to him screaming at me " Haeleigh!! Haeleigh!! GOD DAMN IT WAKE THE FUCK UP!!" his voice angry I open the door to reveal his angry face he's the last thing I see before I pass out " Haeleigh if you can hear me my name is shaun i'm going to take you to the closest emergency room please stay awake okay" he held my face so i was looking at him "hey stay with me okay look at me okay? try and pay attention to my voice okay?" they quickly loaded me into the ambulence. with the sirens blaring they sped off towards the hospital with every minute breathing became harder and harder my vision was getting blurry and shaun was screaming at me i couldnt understand what he was saying but he shoved a mask up to my face and him and another perimedic strapped me down to the bed i was on they put the bed flat the last thing i saw before everything went black was shaun grabbing a knife and pouring some kind of liquid on it.

......

Three days later

I open my eye's to find myself in a dark room with one light in the corner there where a bunch of wires attached to me I tried sitting up but it caused me to cry out in pain someone sitting in a recliner stirred his shoulders where muscular he had shoulder length curly brown hair and gauges. He wore a tight long sleeve black shirt then hug his chest showing off his muscles I blushed as he noticed me staring. I tried getting myself up again and he quickly jumped out of his chair and came over to me helping me sit up i tried to speak but my mouth was to dry so I reached for a cup on the table but it caused all of my alarms to go off i covered my eyes as three nurses ran in flicking on the high powered lights above giving me an instant migrain. the nurses left as soon as they saw that i was okay. He grabbed the cup off the table and handed it to me i smiled and chugged it down. A nurse with blonde hair and blue eyes peeped into the room " Dr.Anderson they need you in surgery immediately" he mumbled under his breathe and then turned to me " I will be back in a few hour's please for your sake stay in bed and try to rest your body needs to heal up your really lucky to be alive right now" he walked over to the door with his hands in his pocket then with one last sad glance he left the room closing the door behind him. What does he mean i'm lucky to be alive? What happened and where is my dad why did he call an ambulance and who is this stranger? I guess i should have guest he wouldn't care if i lived or died no one would. The tears slipped down my face despite my protest it felt like forever before i fell into one of my famous night terrors I was in the woods following a dog i was only seven i didn't understand that i shouldn't follow random animals into the forest in the middle of night. I got really lost trying to follow this wolf  that i sat down and started crying the wolf came back and layed on the ground at my feet I reached over and rubbed the top of his head his green eyes looked up into mine and then he rested his head on my lap I fell asleep with the wolf on me and my back against the tree until i woke up shivering many hours later it was pitch black and the only thing lighting up the night was a red ambry glow off in the distance it was so bright it lit my way to the cabin. I stumbled ouyt of the woods falling face first in the dirt as i looked up I saw the entire house engulfed in flames it wasent till i saw my mother running towards the door with my little brother in her arms did i realise they where screaming all of them i could barely hear the sound over the sizzling and cracking of the fire but they where there i watched as a burning beam dropped in front of the door blocking my moms exit she held my brother as the house fell apart around them the fire department was to late to save them all that was left where smoking ashes. I bolt upright screaming on the top of my lungs drenched in sweat the alarms blared in my ears and i forced my legs to my chest as i sobed nurses ran in but i ignored all of them they tried getting my attention but i ignored them and continued to cry. Thirty minutes had to have passed when a very worried and angry Dr.Anderson stormed in he tried talking to me but i refused to answer i refused to move he waited a few minutes before he put his hands on each side of my face and forced me to look at him "please haeliegh i need to know whats wrong i cant fix something if i dont know what it is" he paused then quickly added "are you in pain? do you need more pain killers?" i frowned and shook my head i moved out of his grasp and i swear i saw a tear roll down his face as i rolled the other way. I fell back into a dreamless sleep when i woke up Dr.Anderson had his chair next to my bed and his head was lieing on the bed by my side he had one arm under his head as a pillow and he was slightly drooling i smiled to myself he looked so ...... handsome i shook that thought away i shouldn't be thinking about that when i just got out of a long relationship I needed to get answers today what was wrong with me ? why was I here and most importantly when was I going home ? A unbearable throbbing pain shot threw my body as I sat up on my own it caused me to hold my breath and bite my lip as tears sprang to my eyes. When the pain subsided I pulled up my shirt and gasped there was bloody gauze tapped to most of my stomach I lifted it up to reveal two different cuts with stitches holding it closed " A few of your stitches tore i'm going to have to redo them" i shook my head no but he was already at the door talking to a nurse They moved my bed so I was lying down they put a mask up to my face causing me to quickly drift to sleep. I woke up alone in the same room but this time the bed was lower and I had a sign taped in front of me on a pole "do not move on your own call a nurse you will rip your stitches again" if it was so important why wasn't mister almighty doctor here to tall me it himself i pouted as i relized i was actually upset that he wasn't here. I hit the button for the nurse before i eve thought it threw it was time to get answers and now would be the best time without mister big and handsome here to stop it. The nurse came in so quickly she almost tripped over herself "is everything alright?" she breathed out as if she just ran as fast as she could to get here I nodded and she let out a sigh of relief . I started to try to sit up but she rushed over and placed her hands on my shoulders "you can;t get up till after your stitches heal or your tear the skin the stitches are in and that will make it harder to sew it back up" I let my head fall back onto my pillow as i let out a long sigh "can you atleast tell me why i am here?" i pleaded she sighed and sat up straighter "well you needed surgery you where un responsive when you got here the perimedic that brought you in had to cut open your throat and shove a tube in so you could breath" I looked at her horrified " whats wrong with me? " she smiled " nothing is wrong with you now as long as you let your stitches heal" she got up and walked over to the door clearly done with this conversation. the door swung open as she reached for the handle suprised she jumped back quickly composing herself she walked past Dr.Anderson as he entered the room he sat on the edge of the bed his green eyes looked like they where glowing in the dark as he stared deeply into my eyes my heart skipped a beat as i imagined what it would be like to feel his lips on mine. He was the perfect example of natural beauty his smiled made me melt like butter i wanted nothing more then to curl up in his lap and lay my head against his strong chest he smiled at me and i looked away my cheeks grew warm i was glad it was so dark in here so he couldn't see me blush changing the subject i quickly blurted out " when do i get to go home doctor?" he frowned and looked at his hands " your social worker will be here tomorow to talk to you about that i'm really sorry Haeleigh" my eye brows knit together why was he sorry? why did he seem so sad? then it sunk in the only reason my social worker would be coming is because i wasn't going back to my dads tears threatend to spill down my face but i quickly wiped them away why didn't anyone want me? " good i didn't like that place anyway. Please leave im tired" he nodded but i could tell he didn't wanna leave me alone he slowly walked out with his head down as if just upset as me he looked back at me with tears in his eyes " i am so sorry" he walked out of the room as a tear slide down his face for some reason his tears broke my heart
