Chapter 24

Chapter 24:

"Hello pretty girl!" A hiss from the darkness called after me. I opened my eyes to see the ghost in the hospital room. I gasped. I had nothing to fight him off with, even though I searched the whole room. Alexa was still asleep as I saw him standing next to her, farthest from me.

"Get away from her!" I yelled at him. She didn't even stir to the sound of my yelling. I pressed the button for the nurse. "Nurse! Nurse! Please!" I yelled, slowly getting up from my bed. I slowly tried to make my way to the door when I was stopped by the ghost with Alexa's head in his hands.

"No no pretty girl." He warned holding Alexa's head close to his body.

"Don't you dare touch her! Why us?" I asked him. He shrugged dropping her head limply back to the pillow.

"There has to be a reason to picking her too and not just picking me." I told him. He sighed. He walked around her bed slowly. His gaze from the two holes in the sheet was holding mine. He was like a car wreck you couldn't look away! "Who. Are. You?" I asked annoyed, slowly moving away from the door.

"I'm the one you're in love with." He chuckled.

"No! I hate you! Look what you did to her! Look what you did to me!" I yelled at him. He reached for me but I moved out of his reach. We were nearing my bed. I was running out of room. I slowly sat back on my bed. Why didn't I just roll over it? I slinked down and covered back up.

"You can't hide from me... I'm in your head, beautiful!" He hissed as his cloth covered face drew closer to mine. I let out a scream and realized I wasn't being attacked. I was sitting up in my bed, in the hospital room as nurses were barging in the door. Alexa was awake with a look of terror on her face. I realized I was having a nightmare. Carlos was next to her and Kendall was in the chair next to me. I had sat straight up as I screamed. Nurses then injected me with a drug to calm me down and reduce hallucinating. Kendall was holding me, my head to his chest as I started crying.

"Shhhh, babe. You're alright. Shhhh." He cooed. There were whispers from the other side of the room but I didn't quite frankly care.

"Kendall... I wanna Make him go away...." I cried. I didn't know what else to say or ask for. I wanted us to be normal again.

"I wish I could Bobby. Really I wish I could." Kendall whispered. I cried for a good hour before Kendall let me go, but even then he sat with his arms around me on my bed.

"I'm sorry guys." I said quietly looking at Carlos and Alexa.

"No worries." Alexa smiled weakly. "I had nightmares too, but from the sounds of it, yours were worse." She tried to comfort me, but it didn't really seem fitting. I sighed and looked up at Kendall.

"Your girlfriends a nut job." I told him sarcastically.

"Yeah but she's my nut job." He kissed my forehead as I slowly went into a numbing state of mind from the drugs in my IV.

"Good news babe." Kendall said a few hours later. "You can come home now." He informed me after the nurse took Carlos and him out of the room to release us to them.
