The first thing that Catherine felt when she woke up, was the sunlight on her skin. She had trouble breathing; it hurt if she tried to do so. Her eyes fluttered open and white was all she saw. She realized that she was lying in a hospital bed. The slightest movement from her, made her whole body scream from pain!

"Damn it!" she mumbled.

Every muscle in her body ached tremendously. She tried to remember how she ended up here, but her memory was failing her. While closing her eyes, she tried to sit up. Leaning on her pillow, she sat and tried to see if she saw her phone or bag. But without success.

Her head felt like it wanted to explode. So with all the energy she had, she brought her hands to her temples. Rubbing them with her fingers, made her head ache go away a bit. Sighing deeply, she observed her surroundings. She wanted to get up so badly, but wasn't able to.

Heather walked into Catherine's hospital room and found her leaning on her pillow. She had tears in her eyes and practically ran towards her older sister. Wrapping her arms around Catherine, she began to cry.

"Oh my God. You… you scared me to death, Ca… Cath." She sobbed.

Relieved, Catherine held her little sister. She didn't know a thing. What happened? Was it a car accident? Or was she on the job? Was she the only one hurt? She didn't know, so when she saw that her little sister was fine, she was relieved.

Then she thought about her friend and partner. Tess.

"Heather, where's Tess?" she asked with trembling voice.

"She had to do something first. But she's on her way. Don't worry." Heather answered, without letting her go.

They talked about stuff, but then Catherine got very impatient. Heather was openly avoiding her questions about what happened to her. At one point she had enough, so she demanded.

"Heather, if you don't tell me what happened to me. I am going to scream. Why can't I remember?"

At that moment Tess walked in. Catherine was so happy to see her and once again got wrapped in another person's arms.

"Easy, Tess. My whole body hurts like hell." She said softly.

Tess apologized and asked her how she was feeling.

"I am doing kinda okay. But please tell me, what happened to me?" she pleaded.

Tess and Heather threw each other glances, but didn't say a thing.

"I mean it, you guys. Tell me!" she demanded.

Sighing deeply, Tess clapped her hands and said." I've brought something for you."

Catherine took a pillow and slapped her with it.

"I do not want a thing! I want to know what happened to me. Please." She begged.

But Tess was determined to give her what she brought. She took something from her pocket and gave it to Catherine. It was a piece of paper.

Catherine frowned and opened it. Vincent! With trembling fingers, she opened the note.

Hey, sweetie.

How are you doing? I miss you so much and wished that I could be there to see you in person. How many nights have I laid awake in bed, forcing myself not to get up and pay you a visit. But we both know that I can't be seen. Don't worry, I have been watching over Heather like you asked me to. Nobody is stalking her. :p

And yes, Tess and I have been getting along. Let's just say, we are behaving and haven't fought since you were hurt.

I really, really miss you sweetie. Get well soon, okay? I have been on the rooftop of the building next to the hospital; I needed to hear your heartbeat.

I will be waiting for you like usual. Well, have been for more than 6 weeks now. But, know that I am here. Waiting till you are your old self. Waiting till the day I can wrap my arms around you again.

And one more thing, before you forget: I love you.

Vincent.

While she was reading, her eyes filled with tears and when she was done, she was sobbing like a baby.

Her whole body shook from her sobs, so Tess grabbed her hands. Heather ran her hand through her dark, gorgeous hair, trying to soothe her.

After she had calmed down, she said." Where's my phone? I need to call him."

"But you can't reach him, honey. His last number expired." Tess answered.

Catherine's eyes began to water again. She felt so helpless and that was something she hated!

"I haven't seen him for 6 weeks? If I can't see him, at least let me hear his voice." She cried.

At that moment, Evan stepped into the room. When Catherine saw him, her head filled with images… horrible, horrible images. At one point she panicked and breathing became impossible. They saw that she was having a panic attack; Heather immediately ran to call the doctor. Tess tried to calm her down, but the images were too much for her.

She suddenly remembered being locked up and someone was doing something to her. In her memory, she was screaming from pain… At one point, it was like she could feel the pain again… and then she snapped!

In her hospital room, Catherine began to scream her lunges out. Evan and Tess couldn't do anything; they were powerless. The moment they tried to get close, Catherine began to scream and cry louder. While tears rolled down her cheeks, Tess held onto Evan.

"Where's the damn doctor?" she whispered.

At that moment, Heather, the doctor and 2 nurses came rushing in. Catherine was hysterical, so they sedated her.

Not long after, she closed her eyes and was quiet.

"She's going to sleep it off." The doctor said concerned.

Evan, Tess and Heater were pretty shaken up and weren't able to say anything.

"What did you do, you guys? Did you tell her what happened to her? I specifically told you, not to tell her yet. She needs professional help!" the doctor scolded.

Tess shook her head and whispered." We… we didn't tell her, doc. She… she remembered."


Please review?
