My eyes feel like they have been glued shut but I peal them open anyway. I am blinded by the sun coming in through my window. I flash back to the dream I had. I remember being blinded but I don’t know from what. My nose itches. I try to reach up to itch it but my hands are tied to the bed. What is happening to me!? Is everything that happened in my dream going to come true? Are there going to be screaming people next?
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!" I hear from a girl in the hall. I look over and see her being hauled away by some nurses. Oh my, I squeeze my eyes shut. I’m afraid. Where’s Charlie? Why isn’t he here? Just as I thought that I hear someone walk into the room. I open my eyes. It’s Charlie. He looks horrible, like he has stayed up all night long.
"Lucy! Let me go get the nurse to untie your hands" Charlie said and then left the room. One minute later he comes back with an old fat nurse. She’s really ugly and I already don’t like her. But yet again I don’t like anyone except Charlie so I guess that is expected.
"Oh my! You’re finally awake! Ya have been sleepin for two days; kinda had us worried. Sorry we had ta tie your hands ta the bed. Ya kept pullin out your IV. Honey I’d like ya ta..." she kept on talking to me, but I didn’t listen to her after that. I looked over at Charlie as she babbled on and on about who knows what. Charlie looked back at me. I could see how tired he was. I wonder if he ever went home.
Ugly Nurse Lady untied my hands and I rubbed the indentations that they left on my wrists. I give her a dirty look to get her to shut up. That’s when I noticed all of the bruises on my arms. I hear Charlie explaining to Ugly Nurse Lady that I can’t or won’t talk but I wasn’t really paying attention to what he was saying. All I was concerned about were the bruises. I knew immediately that they weren’t from the car accident. They were from something much worse. Dominic. Dominic can get pretty violent when he’s about to lose a "costumer". So when I told him that I was going to try to kill myself yet again, he went ballistic. He told me that if I don’t succeed, that I shouldn’t bother to come back like I had before. "I’ll visit you in the hospital" were the last words he said to me. Then he beat me up for the money and the many other services he would be losing from me. But no one will know about it because of my car accident. This isn’t the first time he beat me. He does all the time when I do or say stupid things.
