After The Attack

 I wake up to bright lights and strong smells. I don't recognize where I am so I slowly sit up looking around and wincing as my head starts hurting terribly. J rushes to my side and gently but firmly pushes me back down on the bed. "Don't get up. You've had a lot of damage done to your head and the doctors have advised you not to move very much for the next couple of days."

I look up and him in confusion, "Doctors? Where am I? What happened?" I watch his eyes as several emotions flicker through it. Concern, worry, sympathy... Anger. When I see the anger in his eyes it all crashes down on me. "G Gabe attacked me..." Suddenly I'm crying all over again at first because of the shock and then because crying hurt my head so much.

J rushes out and comes back with a doctor who rushes to my side, "Okay sweetie calm down it'll be okay. I'm just going to give you some medicine so you'll go back to sleep." She gently pokes me with a needle and slowly my crying stops as I get tired and I mutter, "Thank you." before the darkness takes me.

I watch as the medication takes over her and fall back in my chair watching her. How could Gabe of done something this terrible to Rose? Rose who adored him and stood up for him every time someone said something bad about him. He knows what happened to Rose. Why would he do this? I sigh getting up and going over to her looking down at her. She looks troubled even in medicine induced sleep. I move to take her hand in mine and freeze as I see the engagement ring. T they were going to get married? How dare he do this to her! 

I bend down kissing her forehead and whisper into her ear, "He won't get away with this. The I stride out of the room and get into my car. I start the car and speed off to Gabe's house.
