Eternity of love

An Unsettling feeling

The drive back home was a blur. I wasn't able to understand what just happened back there. Fear was crippling in my veins, who was he? what did he want from me?Who was he talking about? How did he know me? there were a thousand questions going on within me. I reached my building and instead of waiting for the elevator I took stairs. I locked my apartment door from inside and started locking my windows. It was dark in the house and i was curved in the ball in the corner of my room. It's when I heard the door bell, the door bell was ringing on but i couldn't find the strength to go and open the door, that's when Jenn yelled, "RACH", are you in there? open the door, it's us. Then i heard the pounding on the door, it was Brett this time, "Rachel, are you fine? open up girl. It's us, you are safe. Please, open up". I stood up, but my legs were wobbly, i couldn't see clearly, it was all dark.I opened up the door, Jenn, bolted in the house and then Brett, he switched on the lights of the house and when I saw them, i ran towards Jenn, hugged her and broke down. I was sobbing, scared and unable to understand anything. Jenn calmed me down, she checked me while Brett had called for the paramedics to treat me. It's then i realised the pain of the wound, i had got from that head smash. The paramedics and the police officials arrived together, the paramedics treated me, while the officials were questioning me. Officer KEEGAN, was the one in charge, Ms. Rodriguez, can you please tell us what exactly happened? I described, the entire turn of events to him, Brett and Jenn were also listening to the entire thing very carefully. Jenn was fuming with anger and tension, Brett was shocked and concerned about me. Ms. Rodriguez, we will investigate this further, meanwhile do you have any suspects who would do this to you? or any detail in particular you remember about that person.I closed my eyes and tried to recall if i could remember anything. That's when I remembered, the guy had a piercing on his right eye brow and there was a tattoo mark on his left hand. The tattoo mark peaked, keegan's interest in my answers, he asked me about the tattoo mark, it was a fuming sun with red and yellow colour and black lining to it.The description of the tattoo, drained the colour from Keegan's face. Ms. Rodriguez are you sure about the tattoo mark, or are you just hallucinating things. This irked me, " Look officer, i was being threatened and hurt, and i am in my senses, I know exactly what I saw and what i have described, everything is right here, so stop doubting me." Keegan was in a dilemma, he said he will look into this and investigate further," MS. Rodriguez, i would suggest, be at home for a while and take care of yourself, do not step out if it's not that urgent."with that he left and the paramedics also left me a prescription of medicines and to rest for a while. Jenn was fuming with anger and concern, " who on the earth would have the audacity to do this with you? and why?", "Jenn, please calm down, look at her she is scared and stressed, don't add to it". Rach, don't worry we are here for you, we are not going anywhere,Brett said. Jenn, Brett, thank you so much, i don't know how I can thank you both enough for this. Brett, said don't say anything just go to sleep and you are not going to the office tomorrow, i will inform your team. I went to my room, and Jenn was next to me. Brett was resting in another room. I slowly went to sleep and the entire night was a blur the next morning. I woke up the next morning, to the aroma of vegetable cheese omelette and espresso coffee. Brett was in the kitchen, surprisingly Kim, Shaun and Rebecca were also present in the house. As Kim saw me, she ran towards me and hugged me tight, how are you? , I am so sorry that you had to go alone last night, it's all because of me, i shouldn't have left you alone."Hey Kim, calm down. I am fine and it's nothing because of you." I promise you Rach, once i know who that fucker was, i am gonna kick his ass and make sure, that the bastard is behind the bars". And then i had Rebecca meet me, well,. Rebecca is a heart surgeon, the one who saves lives. She is amongst one of the top surgeons of the states, " Well, let me check you. Please.", M fine Rebecca, really. I rested well. " Did you eat anything? if not then please eat first then we can do meets and greets later, you need to take your meds first. This wound needs to heal." Yes ma'am, i will. " I will go help Brett, and get food for you." And then Shaun was next to me, he gave me a warm side hug and just said something in a very whispered voice, " i won't tell you to get well soon, because I know you are fine you just need all the attention, just know i am the attention seeker not you, so don't steal my limelight", he had this stupid smirk on his face and he started cracking up. I gave him a punch on his guts. I was safe, i had my people around but still I had a very weird and an Unsettling feeling, it didn't board well with me.
