Thank you for your lovely reviews. I'm glad you are enjoying it as much I am enjoying to write it.
However the Easter holidays are over now, so my children and I are back to our busy routines, so I will post as often as I can
so here is another chapter to keep you going until then :)
Christian wheels me to my room and helps me back onto my bed, ignoring the glares from my parents. I smile softly at him as he pulls the covers over me tenderly before settling in the chair right next to my bed.
"Where have you been." My mum askes me staring exasperatedly at me, before side glancing at Christian, who is busy typing something into his phone to notice.
"Christian took me for a change in scenery." I say tiredly, "Mum, you know I love you. But I'm not moving to Georgia with you." I say looking at her determinedly. Ray smiles smugly at her and nods. "I'm not moving back in with you either dad." I add wiping the smile off his face. I can feel Christian look up from his phone to look at me.
"To right! She's living with me."
We all turn to see who had spoken and I smile as Kate strolls in with a huge smile on her face. She hugs me tightly. Then turns towards my parents.
"Me and my brother have a spare room at our apartment, she can have." She smiles and then looks at me for an answer and I nod smiling gratefully.
My parents look from Kate to me and back again before resigning with a nod.
"Good that's settled then." Kate beams, "now we just have to get you out of here first."
"doctor said maybe tomorrow. If by blood results come back clear." I sigh, laying back onto my pillow. Kate nods happily.
What about my stuff I suddenly think and frown.
"What is it?" Christian asks making everyone jump, I think they forgot he was here.
"I'm going to need to go get my stuff from Jacks." I say quietly and I hear my mum take a sharp breath in at his name. "I don't even know where he lives." I laugh ironically staring into space. I feel everyone freeze in the room.
"Don't you worry about that huni." Ray chimes in bringing me back to the here and now. I yawn involuntary.
"you're tired, we'll let you rest." Kate says as she hugs me then heads towards the door. Followed by my mum and dad who both hug me before they.
Christian is the last to leave. He stands next to me on the bed. I look up at him, suddenly not wanting him to leave, but not knowing why.
"I had fun today." He smiles that breath-taking smile as he tucks a piece of hair behind my ear, and before I know what's happening he's leaning down and kissing me chastely on the lips.
"Later's baby." He smiles then he's gone.
Whoa! What the hell just happened? I fall back on my pillow dazed. I close my eyes and think about Christian.
Christians twirling me around and around the dance floor,
We are smiling and laughing happily together
lost in our own little bubble.
Christian twirls me away from him smiling.
I grab his hand and twirl back into his arms laughing happily,
I gaze up at him lovingly.
It's not Christian.
This guy has dirty blonde hair
and smells of alcohol and cigarettes.
His eyes stare at me angrily as his lips turn up in a sneer.
I want to run but I'm trapped.
He has his arms around me pulling me into the darkness
"YOUR MINE BITCH!"
His voice is like poison, suffocating me.
I'm in a dark musky room,
He's standing over me, he's clutching a beer bottle,
He's swinging at me!
Smashing the bottle into me
Over and over again.
I can't get free
I scream as he pulls me down into the darkness
"NO JACK! NOOO!"
"ANA! ANA WAKE UP! ANA!"
I jump awake, someone's reaching for me from the darkness. Jack! "NOO!" I scream and scramble as far away as I can. Pulling my knees up and burying my face into them.
Suddenly a light comes flooding into the room, pushing the darkness away. I peer up over my knees. Someone's standing next to the bed near me. Looking scared and anxious. I look up and there are those beautiful grey eyes. "Ana it's me, you're ok." He says tenderly leaning closer.
"Christian." I breathe and bound into his embrace grabbing handfuls of his t shirt as I bury my face into his chest breathing in his intoxicating smell trying to slow my heartrate and stop my body from shaking. He wraps his arms round me tenderly and kisses the top of my head.
"She's ok, she just had a nightmare." He says quietly to someone in the room. I turn my head to see a couple of nurses standing in the doorway looking at me concerned. They nod at Christian tentatively and turn and leave closing the door behind them, plunging the room into darkness again.
"You're ok Ana, no one's going to hurt you. Never again." He whispers into my ear as he strokes his hand up and down my back lovingly.
I raise my face to look at him, he strokes my cheek with his fingertips wiping a stray tear away. I look down and quickly wipe my eyes
"Sorry." I mutter as I straighten out his t-shirt from where I've been clinging to him.
"Don't worry about it." He says gently shaking his head. He tilts my head up to face him again. He stroked my face lightly. I lean into his touch and his thumb brushes over my bottom lip.
"What are you doing here." I suddenly say only just remembering he had left earlier. He smiles sweetly still cradling my face in his hand.
"I dropped my mum off on the way home from there's as she got called in and thought I would come check on you." He explained quietly still searching my face to make sure I'm ok.
"I'm glad you did." I say shyly as I place a hand on his chest.
"you need to rest." He says releasing my face to sort out my pillows, he moves back to let me lay down but I grab the bottom of his top not wanting him to go. He looks down at my hand then to my panicked face. Quickly takes his jacket, shoes and sock off with me still clinging to his top. He moves to the bed and slowly lays on top of the cover. He lays on his back and I lay my head on his chest as he wraps his arms around me. I breathe him in and instantly feel myself relax.
"Sleep, my beautiful Anastasia." He says as he kisses my hair.
