I woke up and I was in pain damn it really was irritating I knew something was wrong I'm trying to remember something but I can't remember it I sat up in the hospital bed confused did that happen last night I remember someone was with me but I couldn't remember his face I smelled weird I smelled like smoke but not the cigarette smoke this was richer it smelled like cigar and mint and that's when it came back to me Jake he was with me last night oh God I hope nothing happens to him I could not to let him come here why would he do that I need to text Lilly just as I was about to grab my phone the doctor walked in
Doc : good morning MC nice to see you joining us
MC : good morning doc how am I looking can I leave the hospital today
doc : I'm sorry MC but you'll need at least one week here you're suffering from dehydration and malnutrition plus you've got three broken ribs you had a slight concussion your wrist is sprained so you'll be staying for a week or a little bit more than a week
shit I'm mumbled under my breath the fucker was going to pay for this
MC : hey Doc the nurse that was here last night
Doc : had a family emergency but he'll be back shortly MC please don't tease him
Mc : why not I mean you're the one who keeps giving me free drugs and I can't help it.
Doc : If your father knew that you were teasing the nurses he would take you home
MC: then go ahead and tell him I want to go home
Doc : Mc you need to stay here now the police they want to speak to you they want to find out what happened they will be here at 9:00 when your parents get here to question you okay so I'll have to hold off on giving you any pain medication until after that .
Crap I needed to come up with a story and a story fast I took a shower and ate some of the terrible hospital food I wanted a burger but there was no chance I was getting one of them just as I was about to berate the nurse for trying to make me eat porridge my mom walked in
mom : hello sweetheart how are you
she walked over to me and gave me a kiss
MC : I'm fine Mom
Dad : sweetheart there's some police officers here that would like to speak to you about what happened
MC : sure let them in
the two officers came I knew one of them he was an older man he was actually friends with my dad I knew his son we went to the same school together
officer Davis : good morning MC I'm so sorry this happened to you if you're up to it can we talk about what happened exactly
MC : morning officer Davis it's okay
I'll tell you everything you need to know you don't need to ask any questions so the evening of the charity event I wasn't feeling well so I decided to go home after I went home I had a bit of medicine and I fell asleep I woke up when I heard Mom and Dad calling so that's when they told me about my best friend Sam that he had accident that he had died I was confused and sad so I had mentioned to mom that I would head to the family Island so I left that same evening I wrote a note and I left it for Mom
Mom : Yes dear we found the note that is why we weren't worried
MC : anyway while I was driving down the road a van came up behind me I just thought I'd slow down and let them pass and they did after I drove about a mile I saw the van parked at the side of the room they probably had a flat so I drove past them I drove for like a quarter mile and then out of nowhere something came out in front of the car and I had to stomp on the breaks I was shaking because I didn't know if I hit someone or something I didn't get out of the car I was just looking around and then all of a sudden the back door opened and the next thing I know I felt a pain in my neck and that was it I guess I blacked out when I woke up I was in a room my hands were handcuffed there was nothing in the room it was a concrete room I couldn't hear anyone I can see anything my eyes were uncovered my feet were tied to the chair it was a metal chair then a guy came in he was wearing a ski mask and he beat me
Mom : oh my God what was the reason did he say anything
MC : no he didn't ask me any questions he didn't say anything that was all he did and after he beat me the first day he came back about 2 days later and he beat me again after he left he came back a couple hours later and he walked behind me I felt the same pain in my neck which I'm now sure that they drugged me and then I woke up in the hospital
officer Davis : so they didn't say anything to you no Ransom calls were made nothing what was the reason for doing that
MC : I have no idea I really am in a lot of pain I need my pain medication now
Dad : okay I think that's it for now if she remembers anything officer she let you know I will personally let you know she needs to get some rest
mom : do you need anything sweetheart
MC : I need a burger
Dad: you know you can't have that MC
Mc : please dad I really need a burger I just want one this food is crap
mom : MC your language a lady does not speak like that
MC : mom have you forgotten that I am my father's daughter
my dad started laughing
Mom : you should not be laughing
dad : oh come on as you can see your spirit isn't broken she still our daughter with her smart mouth
mom :;the two of you never cease to amaze me she could have been killed
Dad : but she wasn't she's right here with us stop worrying she'll be fine
Mc : I really need to eat that burger mom and I need my pain medication
my parents left my mom went to get me a burger i couldn't help but be worried about jake if he was okay I went to the washroom . I needed to the get some rest I needed to close my eyes and sleep so i fluffed up my pillow and just as I was about to lay back I saw a piece of paper sticking out from the pillow covers when I took it out all it said was
"two nights from now j "
I knew who it was he would be back but I can't risk it I don't want him to get caught because of me
MC: Lilly you need to stop him don't let him come back here
Lilly : he was there with you
MC : yes he was
Lilly : are we talking about the same person
MC : yes your brother
Lilly : I told him not to he wouldn't listen
MC : I don't want him to get caught
Lilly : do you know what he looks like
MC : no but I know what he smells like
Lilly : what do you mean
MC : well when he came i was under a lot of pain medication so I started seeing blurry and the sleep was creeping up on me fast
Lilly : I just want him to be careful Hannah's missing now I found Jake I can't lose him .
MC : I want to find Hannah and I don't want you to lose your brother
Lilly : but I am going to lose him because he's going to do whatever he can to protect you he's going to get caught
MC : I really don't mean any harm I didn't ask for this to happen I didn't want him to fall in love with me
Lilly : but he did MC I think you should stop talking to Jake
MC : why
Lilly : because of you he's going to get caught I think it would be best if you stay away from him all together focus on helping me find Hannah and that's it . It would be for the best don't ever text him or meet him again .
MC : do you really think i would do something that would make them find him
Lily : I have nothing against you MC Jake is going to get caught if he tries to keep visiting you everything now is for you he's no longer focused on finding our sister so it would be best for everyone especially Jake
MC : you don't mean that
Lilly : i do Mc he's only focused on you do you know what it's like to wake up one day and find your sister is missing yhen you find out you gave a brother who is wanted by the government now you're in his life he is going to get caught and you will be the reason just stay away from him .
I couldn't believe this i started to cry because that was all i could do .
