I made friends with a few nurses who came to give me my meds. As I couldn't take that guy, Jeffrey, off my mind, I tried asking the nurses how he got here. It turns out there was some kind of an accident with some bullies and his brother. And apparently he ended up killing his parents, which certainly freaked me out. How can a 14 year old boy kill his parents? How… messed up can you be to do that? They refused to tell me who inflicted the wounds on his face.
It was 11 pm and I drifted into sleep.
I started dreaming of a forest, I was walking around the trees and it was night time. Surprisingly that didn't scare me. The dream was slow paced and peaceful, until I felt something with me, in the forest. It certainly was dangerous. There was heavy breathing and my heart started to pace. It's just a dream. I couldn't take it anymore…the air was clouded and I couldn't see, or dream. That's when I woke up and saw Jeff's face hovering over mine, eyes wide and terrifying.
I couldn't even scream, I was fighting to keep my breath even. He came to kill me like he said he would…. What have I ever done to him?
"Go back to sleep…" He whispered. Sleep? What is that supposed to mean? My thoughts were interrupted by the large knife above me. He really meant to kill me.
"Please! Please leave me alone!" I shouted. Panic came over me, so I jumped out of the bed, faster than ever.
"Why? You know what? I can make you beautiful…just like me! Do you want that?" He started walking towards me slowly. No, I did not want that. I shook my head fast, letting tears fall on my face.
" Please… no" I begged again. He wasn't going anywhere. If anything, he was getting closer.
"Yes. I'll make you beautiful" I don't think so.
My eyes turned to the button on the wall to my left. I just had to press the button and help would come. And he knew what I wanted to do, by following my eyes.
Fuck it I'll just go for it. I ran straight towards it, but he was much faster. He tackled me and pinned me on the floor.
His face was inches away from mine, his breath warm on my face. "You're not getting out alive tonight."
I couldn't move, his whole weight pressed onto me. He took his knife and pressed it below my collarbone. He started carving something into my skin, the pain was sharp and I winced. I wasn't gonna take this.
I used all of the strength it took, and kneed him where it should hurt. And hurt it did. He rolled away from me, his body bent over and his face twisted in pain.
"Bitch…"
I got up quickly and ran to press the button, and I made it. About 10 seconds later a nurse barged in to see me out of bed, with my hair messed up and blood at the top of my clothes.
"What happened? Are you okay?! You should be in bed!" The nurse urged me to get back, but I refused, trying to tell her that Jeff was in here.
"No it's dangerous! Call security! " I shouted at her.
"What? How is it dangerous? Did someone attack you?" I turned to where Jeff was supposed to be laying, to find he wasn't there anymore, and the window was wide open.
