Terry's POV
I woke up in a hospital the next morning. I had a pounding headache and my ribs and shoulder hurt, but I couldn't remember much about the night before.
" Ah, Mr. Gerin, you're awake." A nurse said walking into my room.
" How did I get here? How did you know my name?" I asked.
" A woman brought you in, she told us your name. She said that you had been jumped in a parking lot and she ran the thugs off with her car."
" No, she carried me." I said. " She helped me."
" She helped you here and then carried you into the hospital." The nurse said, thinking she was solving everything. I knew that she had helped me run off the thugs and carried me all the way to the hospital. I don't know how she did it, but she did. I owed my life to this girl.
I fell back asleep a short time after the nurse left, but awoke to the door opening. I opened my eyes and there she was, the girl that had helped me last night. She had long light brown hair and green eyes. She was absolutely beautiful.
" Are you alright?" she asked softly, coming closer to my bed.
" Yes, thank you. What is your name? I don't think I caught it last night." I said.
" Leiah." She said. " Do you mind if I sit?" she asked.
" No, go ahead."
" Thank you."
" Why did you help me? You don't know me? You risked your life for me."
" You needed help, that's why." She said.
" So are you from around here?"
" No, not really."
" So where are you from?" I asked.
" Are you just going to sit here and fucking interrogate me all night? If so then I'm just going to fucking leave." She said irritated.
" I'm sorry.... I just." I said, not wanting to aggravate her any more than I had.
" No, no. It's okay. I'm just glad you're alright." She said, pushing some of her hair out of her face. " I should probably leave now." She said.
" You don't have to if you don't want to. I owe you...um." I said blanking on her name again.
" Leiah"
" Yes, Leiah. You don't have to leave."
" Yes I do." She said, standing up. She kept looking out the window, and then looking down. " Maybe I'll see you around." She said, turning and walking out the door.
I watched as she walked out the door. I was a little put off by the way she just left, but she left me intrigued. Here I had this beautiful girl that saved my life, and she just walked away. But I could have sworn I had seen her before. I think in Toronto earlier this week, but I don't think she was a ring rat. She sure as hell didn't carry herself like a ring rat. I know I've seen her before, somewhere. I fell asleep soon after and ended up dreaming of Leiah, my mystery girl.
