Author's Notice: I'm no Doctor so I may be wrong about some medical terms. I hope you enjoy reading it.
Abby had been on complete bed rest for a while now. She hated being stuck in a bed for so long. She just wanted to go home but was still scared these men would turn up and hurt her. Abby had been asleep for a quite awhile when suddenly she shot up in bed with sweat dripping down her face. Susan who was next to her grabbed Abby's hand and tried to comfort her.
"Its okay Abby. Do you want to talk about it?"
Abby's eyes were wide with fear.
"I remembered what happened. Oh God!" Abby cried.
"Its okay." Susan reassured. "Tell me about it."
"I…There were lots of men in black and they were pushing me into a car. They commanded me to drive the car into this other man who was driving down the road. They said they'd kill me if I didn't do it. I remember driving and hitting the man and there was an explosion. Oh God I killed him. Oh God!" Abby hand flew to her mouth in shock.
"Abby it wasn't your fault he died. You were being forced to do it. Don't blame yourself. You could have been killed."
Abby began to cry. "I killed him."
Susan pulled her into a hug. "It wasn't your fault. Okay?"
Abby wiped her tears and nodded.
"Will they press charges?" Abby asked
"No I don't think so. The police will see you when your ready and well enough to talk. They haven't found the men who made you kill that man yet. Don't worry we're here for you."
Abby smiled.
"Thank you."
Doctor Black went down the lift and made it towards Abby's bedroom. He knocked on the door and walked in.
"Good morning Abby. How are you feeling?"
Abby smiled.
"I feel much better. I remembered what happened."
Abby tried to stop the tears from forming in her eyes again.
"It was horrible!" She cried.
"Tell me about it." Dr Black pushed.
Abby told Dr Black what she had remembered.
"Its good that you remembered. When the police come you can tell them what happened. It will help them be able to catch the people who did this to you."
"I'm kind of remembering about my life too." Abby said.
"That's great. Its lovely to see you making steady progress. You seem much better than when I saw you last."
"Yeah I'm finally feeling much happier. Still getting a bit dizzy and feeling sick but otherwise I'm feeling good."
"That's good to hear. I have a patient to see. Get well and I'll speak to you soon." Dr Black replied.
"I will. Thanks."
Dr Black left the room.
Abby had been sleeping all afternoon and when she woke she saw two police men sitting at her bedside. One of them spoke.
"Ms Lockhart good to see you're awake. We have some questions we'd like to ask."
Abby nodded.
"The Doctors' tell me that you remembered what happened in the accident. Can you tell us what happened?"
Abby again relayed the police officers with what had happened during the accident. By the end of it Abby was stating to feel a little unwell but didn't want to stop the police officers having to leave. She wanted them to find the men who did this to her and the now dead man. One of the police officers spoke.
"These men you described sound like the group of men that we have been on the look out for months. They killed a young boy last year but we've yet to catch them. No doubt you just want to get some more rest. Thank you for your time and we'll come back if we have any news about these men. Goodbye."
"Bye." Abby replied.
Once they were gone she drifted back off to sleep.
It was late in the afternoon when she woke again. She felt extremely dizzy and the room seemed to spin before her eyes. She slowly sat up in bed and took a sip of the water that was on her bedside table. Her stomach felt unsettled like it was churching over and over again as if it were a washing machine with clothes in it being tossed about. Abby untangled herself from the sheets, her body feeling very hot. She slowly managed to get out of bed and make her way into the corridor. She couldn't think straight. Everything was spinning in front of her and she tried to find a place to sit down. Abby needed to find Carter or Susan. She couldn't stand much longer and was feeling more and more sick to the stomach. She walked on making it to the front desk where she saw Carter standing over the other side chatting to a nurse. She made her way over.
"Carter." She called out and he turned round to face her.
"Abby why are you out of bed?" He walked over to her.
"I don't feel well." She admitted.
Carter looked at her concerned. Her face was flushed and she had sweat dripping down her forehead. He felt her forehead and cheeks.
"God Abby you feel hot." He said "When did you start feeling sick?"
"When the police were here. Everything's spinning and my stomach keeps churning."
"Let's get you back to bed. I need to check your temperature and rule out any infections you have got. Alright."
Abby nodded and Carter put his arms around her leading her away. They walked only a few feet before Abby collapsed onto the floor…
