A/N: What do you guys think about how the story is going? Should I do a Kelly's POV? Review/PM me and let me know!
"You left me here to burn. You deserve me torturing you. I won't ever leave you alone." The woman wheels closer to me through the fire away from the window and stares into my eyes. "Hate yourself. You don't deserve anyone caring for you." I shake my head and try to run but I can't move. She's laughing. She won't stop laughing.
"Noooo!" I sit up quickly from my bed and I'm panting and gasping for breath. The woman isn't there and the fire is gone, I look around and I'm in my hospital room, not the fire consumed apartment room. "It was just a dream." I said quietly to myself trying to shake off what the woman said. I know Hali said the woman was alive but for some reason in my head she wasn't.
I've always loved my dreams. They were one of the only ways for me to escape my reality. I never had nightmares, just good dreams of me being a part of a family or some cute guy kissing me. But now after this dream I had a feeling the good dreams are gone and the nightmares have taken over.
No one had come in my room since last night that I know of. I could hear people walking by my room but it didn't sound like anyone was coming in so I try to get up. I know, that's against the doctor's orders but I had to go to the bathroom so I decided to bend…or maybe break the rules a little. I struggle to walk with my leg sending pain signals up to my head and back to my nerves every time I put pressure on it. "Ow…ow…ow." I said every step I took. Bad idea Delilah! BAD IDEA! I thought to myself.
I make it to the bathroom and am heading back to my bed slowly…very slowly. I'm about half way when the door opens and a shocked Hali walks in. I freeze and slowly turn my head over to her. "Hi." I said giving her a cheesy grin and a quick dramatic wave. She puts a bag that she has in her hand on the end of my bed and walks over to me quickly. "You're going to tear your stitches doing that." She said sounding aggravated. She put her arm around my back and I put my arm on her shoulder to brace myself as she helps me back to sit on my bed. "Sorry for um… bending the rules…a little." I said to her smiling a little and wringing my hands. "Bending? You threw the rules out the window apparently." She said looking less aggravated and more humored by my rebelliousness. "Yeah well mother nature made me so it's really not my fault!" I said laughing. She put her hands on her hips and shook her head. "You're a handful aren't cha?" She said going to the bag she left on the bed. "Here are some clothes Kelly sent you to wear back to his place." She said getting a pair of black jogging shorts, a navy blue Firehouse 51 t-shirt, and my Converses out of the bag. "The rest of your stuff is still in there." She said pointing to the bag. Comfy clothes….oh how I love them.
After Hali helped me get dressed and changed my bandage she left for a little while and came back close to 9:00 with a nurse behind her pushing a wheel chair. "You about ready to go?" She asked me. "Very! It's a lovely hospital though!" I said smiling. I was so ready to be out of here! The nurse pushed the wheel chair over to the side of my bed. For a split second I thought of the woman in the wheel chair but Hali didn't give me a chance to think about it long. "Let's get you up." She said coming over with the nurse beside her helping me out of the bed and into the wheel chair. She picked up my bags and put my teddy bear and flowers in my lap. I help the teddy close. It smelled like smoke and cologne.
We went down the halls of the hospital and into an elevator and finally got to the exit. Hali signed me out and pushed me herself to the door to go outside. When we got out I saw Kelly, Shay and Lt Casey standing beside a car pulled under drive through place. They were smiling and Shay came over and gave me a hug. "How ya feeling today?" She said. "Well after my rebellious act of walking by myself not so hot but overall pretty good." I said looking up at Haili giving her a grin. "You've been giving this pretty little doc trouble haven't you?" Lt Casey said walking over to Hali and giving her a kiss. "Just a little. I gave this hospital a bit of life is all!" I said proudly. He laughed. "I'm sure you did." He said taking my stuff from Hali and putting it in the car.
Kelly walked over and was about to pick me up out of the wheel chair. "Wait a minute there slick! I've got it on my own." I said handing Shay the flowers and attemping to get up on my own. My leg protested as hard as it could. "Uh Delilah…are you forgetting something?" Hali said putting a hand on my shoulder. "Nooo…" I said sheepishly. She gave me a look. I hung my head and hugged the teddy bear. "Fine! Yes, Kelly I need help." I said not wanting to admit defeat. After my episode of walking by myself my leg was sore even with the pain meds I was taking. They all chuckled at my apparent aggravation. Kelly bent down and put one hand carefully under my knees and the other on my back and picked me up. I put one arm around his neck and held onto the bear with the other hand.
"Ok. No walking by yourself for 2 days, take one of these pills every 6 hours, and Shay if you could change the bandage 1 to 2 times a day." Hali said very professionally if I do say so myself. Shay nodded. "Alright. Got it. No problem at all." She said. Hali pointed a finger at me. "You heard that right? ." She said smiling. "Yep. I heard it. Not making any promises though." I said truthfully. She shook her head and smiled. "Ok then. Well feel better and let me know if you need anything." I smiled. "Will do."
Kelly put me into the car and I buckled up. "You alright like that?" He asked me. He was being overly cautious which was slightly annoying but I'll get over it. "Yes, I am perfectly alight like this Lt." I said giving one quick nod. He stood back and rubbed his hands together nervously. He almost walked away but the came back and stood there again looking at me. I looked at him confused. "What are you so jumpy about you idiot?" I said laughing a little. "Nothing. Nothing at all!" He walked around to the driver's side and got in as Shay got in the passenger's side. "And I really don't appreciate the rude comments because in reality you're the idiot…not me." He said cranking up the car. "Do you see what I did there?" He asked smiling and looking back at me. "Yeah I see Lt." I said chuckling and waving back at Hali and Lt Casey. "So who's ready for ice cream?" Shay said rubbing her hands together excitedly. "Meee!" Kelly and I said at the same time.
