Chapter 16
Truth
"Hey what are you doing out of bed?", as Mort freezed in mid step. "Shit he was caught..", as he turned around expecting to see the a nurse or some doctor.
But instead it was Caroline standing there looking at Mort curiously. He fell back against the wall terrified. Oh my god..it couldn't be her. She was dead. He killed her….
She couldn't be alive. Mort closed his eyes and started counting to ten. It was just a figment of his imagination. She wasn't real. The mind was powerful. If it wanted something so badly then it could make it appear.
Caroline was no exception. Mort read something about this. About patients that go psycho that they start seeing dead love ones.
This was no different. He just wanted to see her. He wanted her to stand there, saying his name. Putting his hands over his ears he started screaming out the numbers.
"1! 2! 3! YOUR NOT REAL! 4! 5! 6! LEAVE ME ALONE!", falling back against the wall screaming in pain.
He felt it. He stopped screaming suddenly opening his eyes like a frightened animal. He could feel her warm , slender hand against his cheek. She began cooing to him, as she pulled him into a hug.
The moment he caught her scent he clun to her, rubbing his face into her shoulder. His eyes widened as his hands became fist grabbing her tightly against him.
"Its okay baby. I'm right here. Everything's going to be okay…", as she slowly dragged him to stand up. Steadily they walked back to his room. Mort's grip did not loosen.
When they were back in the room, they both lay down in his bed holding each other. Silence. "Your dead Caroline….", as she looked up from his chest looking at his strangly.
"Baby what are you talking about? Do I look dead to look?", looking at him curiously. "I killed you…", murmuring to no one but himself. Caroline continued to look at him strangly at he kept talking to himself.
Once again she began cooing to him gently. "Mort, shhh…its okay baby. It was all just a bad nightmare. Baby when I got out of the tub to check on you I found you laying there on the bed shivering. You were all red and sweating profusely".
"You only had a nasty fever and I guess it fucked up with your brain", as she poked his head gently.
"I should go get the doctor", but Morts grip would not give in.
"Mort sweety…come on let me go. I promise I'll be back in just a few minutes. I just need to tell the doctor that your awake and that you seem kinda delusional…", sliding out of his tight grip falling off of the bed hitting the tile floor.
"Owwwwwww………..again", getting up rubbing her butt walking out of the room. Walking down the narrow hospital hallways she found a nurse asking where she could find Dr. Craig.
"We'll send him up Miss for Mr. Mort Rainy, correct?", as Caroline shook her head wanting nothing more then a smoke and a good shot of tequila.
But also she wanted a pickle ice-cream sundae with hot sauce. Shrugging it off she decided she would get something later.
Walking back up to the room she found Mort fiddling with his hospital dress. "Grrr….Mort! You look so hot in that, I just want to rip it off you", she smiled seductively at him as she skipped towards the bed plopping down besides him.
They instantly curled up into each other molding together perfectly. "The doctor will be here in a few to check on my favorite little patient", her voice muffling in his shirt.
Mort laughed deeply, as Caroline felt the warm vibrations go through his chest lulling her to sleep as she listened to his steady heart.
This is what she missed most about them. She and Mort just being together, even though the hospital wasn't the most romantic place in the world at the moment but as long as she was with Mort it might as well be their own little Paris.
Hearing the door open she turned her head up to find Dr. Craig standing there looking uncomfortable. "Umm..did I come at a bad time?"
"No"
"Yes"
Caroline looked up at Mort from his answer. "Mort he's only here to check up on you. That's all", as she sat up from the bed getting off.
But Mort ignored her as he glared at Dr. Craig. He never trust doctors. He thought there were just…icky. Icky, yes that was the word. Icky.
That's where we got plenty of creepy horror movies. The doctor always did it with their crazy cutting and snipping machines killing off sluts one by one as the virgins continued to get away because of their purity.
Mort now had to stop his thinking here. He was getting way too much into another book. But either way he looked at it doctors were scary people and shouldn't be trusted.
"Now Mr. Rainy", as he looked at a few paper he held in his folder. "I'm just going to take a few test and if everything is alright you can leave".
Mort stretched yawning. "But Doc I feel fine. I think you can just give me the release papers because I'm just feeling peachy", he muttered sarcastically getting up ready and willing to leave.
"I'm sorry Mr. Rainy but I can't let you go until I'm sure your in perfect health", tapping at his stethcscope as he walked towards Mort.
Mort stared at Dr. Craig in disbelief. "Your holding me against my will?"
Dr. Craig shook his head no as he stuck the stethoscope up Morts dress placing it towards his heartbeat.
Mort flinched. "That's cold….", as Caroline snorted walking around the room stopping once at the jello and poking it to watch it squiggle.
Dr. Craig took the stethoscope from under Mort's dress as he pulled out a thermometer placing it on Mort's tongue.
"Just hold it there and wait till it beeps", as he walked over to Caroline and began showing her papers and forms that she filled out explaining to her everything.
"Is he going to be okay doctor?", whispering looking towards Mort.
"I think he's going to be fine. Just make sure he gets plenty of sleep and tries not to over exert himself. He'll still be pretty tired from the fever", as she nodded.
The beeping sound could be heard going off as Dr. Craig walked over towards Mort pulling out the thermometer. "Well Mr. Rainy you are a 98.6 so that means you are free to go".
