Stalked

Chapter 20

The next time I wake up, I am in a hospital bed. As the events from yesterday and last night race through my head I began to cry again. As I am crying I hear a woman's voice come in.

Melody: Don't worry that son of b***h will never hurt you again. He is locked away in jail where he belong and won't be out for a very very long time.

Melody continues to comfort me and then Brandon walks in.

Brandon: Baby I'm so sorry. I really am sorry. I didn't stick to my word of keeping you protected and now your face is bruised and we are back in the hospital again.

Brandon lays his head on my lap and for the first time I see the man that I love cry. I grab Brandon's hand and lift his head up to look me in the eyes.

Me: Babe it's not your fault I know you looked everywhere and checked everything to find me and that's all that matters it shows that you love me and care for me. And I love you for that.

As I finish up Brandon lifts himself up and kisses me with a long lingering kiss.

Melody: Aww you too love birds are going to make me cry. Oh my gosh here the tears come.

Me and Brandon hug Melody to cheer her up then the doctor walks in.

Doctor: Ms. Davis, you suffered minor blows to the head but they won't affect you. They are just little bruises that will go away over time and we did some test and you came back negative for STI's and STD's. You are allowed to be discharged from the hospital and I hope you get better soon.

We thank the doctor as she heads off. Melody gives me the clothes she brought me and I slip them on. Then Brandon pushes me out of the hospital in the wheel chair and puts me in the car.

Me: I can't wait to get home and take a nice long shower and into a nice bed

Melody: we are happy you are coming home too and Joanna you are a very strong woman. You went through a lot but still come out as a fighter in the end

Brandon: That's my girl

He grabs my hand and kisses it. We all smile at each other and Brandon drives off to the house.
