Paul slowly sat up and looked at the blue eyed person
"How long have you been watching me?"
"I don't know.....maybe a few seconds"
"I am so glad that you are finally awake" He whispers as tears roll down his face
"Please don't cry for me" She whispers
Paul smiles. "You just woke up and you're already bossing me around"
"That's right" Stephanie smiles
"How are you feeling?" Paul asked
"Everything hurts" She whispered
"I know... but everything will be alright"
"Why am I here?" She asked
"You don't remember" Paul asked as Stephanie shook her head
Paul sighed, he couldn't tell Stephanie everything yet, it was too soon.
"Why don't we talk about that later alright?"
"Alright" She said
"Do you remember anything?"
"I remember hearing your voice. When you were talking to me"
"You heard that?"
"Yeah and I heard Hope"
"How do you know Hope?"
"She came in my room every night to talk to me. She said you were sleep so you didn't know" Steph said
"I guess I was if I didn't know that someone else was in the room"
"I want to go home.... I don't like hospitals"
"I know but it will be a while before you can go home. I can go and call the family if you want"
"No..." She said grabbing his arm. "I just want to be with you for now. We can call them later, I'm not going anywhere"
"I know that you aren't"
"Now look who's being bossy"
"Well you weren't awake for two days so I have a right to be bossy"
"Oh I see.... I'm sorry I left you alone for two days"
"It's alright just never do it again"
"I promise it will never happen again"
"Good" He says kissing her on the forehead and watches her flinch. "Why don't we call a nurse to give you some pain killers?"
"Please I really need some"
"Alright" He says pushing the nurse's button.
About five minutes after Paul had pushed the button six doctors had run in and technically scared Stephanie to death. Paul heard Stephanie's machine start to beep faster so he took her hand and have it a slight squeeze, signaling that she didn't have to be afraid.
"What happened" One doctor asked
"Nothing.... I just wanted one of you to get her some painkillers" Paul says All the doctor's look over to see that Steph is wide awake and they all smile
"It is so nice to see you awake Stephanie" Another doctor says
"Alright well I think we might have frightened her a bit with the way we ran in here so I will give her some painkillers and we will be out of your way"" Hope said
Stephanie smiled at the sound of Hope's voice. She knew it was Hope because she remembered the way that Hope's voice sounded. Hope came over to her and injected something in her IV and smiled
"This should help you a little" She says and then her smile fades. "I know you are a little confused but I will clear things up for you a little later after you rest"
"Alright" She says
"If there are any problems just ring the button and don't worry, next time six doctors wont come running in here like there was a fire" Hope smiled before walking out the room with the other doctor's
"I am tired" She says
"So why don't you take a nap?"
"Because I don't want to"
"Why don't you want to go to sleep?"
Stephanie sighs as tears start to slide down her face. "Because I don't want to leave you anymore, I'd rather stay wake"
"I am not going to force you to go to sleep but if you do get sleepy remember that I will be here when you wake up"
"Promise"
"I Promise" He smiles
A few hours had passed
"Paul....PAUL" Stephanie yelled
Stephanie had went to sleep and had woken up and Paul wasn't there
"I'm here Steph.... Don't worry" He says coming through the door
"Paul I had a bad dream"
"What was it about?"
"Well I was in a room and I was being bent over the bed and I remember feeling pain"
Paul frowned hearing what Stephanie just said
"Why am I dreaming about these types of things?"
"Steph I think it is time you found out what happened"
Paul was standing by the window as Hope was explaining to Stephanie what had happened. He could tell that Stephanie wasn't really listening to what Hope was saying. He saw the tears swelling up in her eyes and it made her heart break.
"So Steph some detective's want to talk to you"
"Um... alright" Steph says as they walk in
"Hello Stephanie, I am the detective that has been working on this case"
"Hello"
"Do you remember anything Step?"
"No I don't"
"Nothing.... No scars or tattoos or a name or nickname"
"I wish I could help you but I can't"
"Do you think you knew this person?" The detective asked
"I don't know" Stephanie said nervously
Paul could tell that Steph was about to break down and he was getting very mad about all the questions the detective was asking. "LOOK SHE DOESN'T REMEMBER SO WOULD YOU LEAVE HER THE HELL ALONE"
The detective sighs. "Alright but tell me whenever you do remember something"
"I will" Stephanie says as the detective and Hope leaves the room
"Why did this happen to me Paul?" Stephanie asked
"I don't know sweetheart" Paul says coming over to her
Paul pulls her in for a hug as he feels her shake in his arms. Paul sighs wishing this were all some nightmare
"Promise me that you will never leave me.... Ever" She whispers
"I promise.... You will never leave my sight again" He says kissing her lightly
"How long have you been watching me?"
"I don't know.....maybe a few seconds"
"I am so glad that you are finally awake" He whispers as tears roll down his face
"Please don't cry for me" She whispers
Paul smiles. "You just woke up and you're already bossing me around"
