Part 12 – writers POV
Neela lay on the gurney. Her eyes fluttered open blinking furiously as she tried to make them adjust to the bright over head lights. Her head was spinning, she felt sick and dizzy. She turned her head slightly; her eyes drew level with Abby's. Her face was a mixture of relief and worry. Abby hung her head slightly "I never should have let you see him" she shook her head trying to remove the last half hour from her memory. Neela turned her head back and allowed her head to rest against the pancake like pillows. "Why's he here? Why can't he leave me alone?" a tear slipped down her cheek "I thought I'd be safe here at work but theres no where I can go, nowhere" Abby looked at her friend. She felt awful. With all her might Abby wished that this had happened to someone else, no she didn't wish that it happened to someone else she wished that it never happened to anyone ever. Neela turned back to look at her friend, something had entered her mind, a thought that gave her a light at the end of the dark tunnel she was heading through. He had been rushed in by the paramedics after a car accident, there was a chance that he wouldn't make it and if he didn't make it then he wouldn't be able to hurt her. As if reading her friends thoughts Abby grimaced "he's going to make a full recovery. Just a broken arm"
Part 13 – Neela's POV
Why does he have to be ok? Why can he live after what he's done, what he's done to me? He's taken away my life leaving me a shell. He's taken my heart and ripped it in to a thousand pieces that will never be pieced back together. He's here in the hospital, maybe only a few doors away. I don't want him so near. I kick off the thin hospital blanket and grab hold of the metal bars at the side of the bed pulling myself up. It makes my head go dizzy but I don't care. "I need to get out of here" Abby looks at me. I slide to the end of the bed and try to stand but my legs go like jelly. I wobble around for a second within a second Abby is supporting me, balancing me like a mother holding a child. She forces me back on to the bed waggling her finger at me. "Neela, you fainted back there. You need to take it easy for a bit" Abby smiled "you gave us quite a fright in there". I lie back suddenly exhausted. Abby realises what's going on and leaves the room. I fall in to a deep sleep, leaving the world behind but even in the dream, he's there.
