Leaving Hope To Bleed *May Be Triggering to Some*

His evil laugh ripples through the air, sending chills down my back. I push my legs to go faster, I can't let him get me, not again. I take a sharp the never ending maze of concrete walls. I've been running for at least fifteen minutes now, my lungs are begging for air. But I can't stop, if I do he'll get me. My heart is racing with fear and adrenaline. I can't think straight and the darkness isn't helping me get around either. The only light is when I pass a single on that's flickering every now and then. The only sounds besides his sinister laughs are my bare feet hitting the marble floor.

I turn another corner, smacking straight into a wall. My face collides with the thick concrete, making me fall down with a loud yelp. I suck in a sharp breath, remembering I have to be quiet or he'll find me. I quietly groan as I stand up, ignoring the rushing liquid coming from my nose. I turn around and run down another hall. I don't hear anything for another three minutes so I slow down, panting heavily.

I hear another laugh, but this time it's louder, and it's right in front of me. I gasp and freeze in place, the hair on the back of my neck sticking up. My heart pounds loudly, fear pulsing through my veins as I hear his footsteps coming near me. They stop and I see a figure stop in front of me. I strain my eyes through the darkness and my eyes finally adjust. It's him. His laugh pierces my ears and my breathing hitches. He steps forward and I step back, bumping into a wall. What, there wasn't a wall there before. I can see his wicked smile through the blackness. I blink and I end up at the house. The very house where everything happened. I feel hands snake around my waist and pull away instantly, quickly spinning around.

There stands Chris with a devilish grin. I scream, stepping back and falling to the ground. He kneels down beside me, wrapping his long fingers around my neck. I scream, but nothing comes out. His eyes look like he's a rabid animal searching for his prey, and he has found it. "Are you a virgin?" He asks with a mocking tone. "Please, please, don't do this." I cry out trying to pry his fingers from my neck. He shakes his head, grinning widely. "Uh-uh. I've got you now." "Please, please. No..." He laughs evilly, and his eyes darken to a pitch black.
"Too late."

I shoot up in the hospital bed, gripping the sides tightly. A scream ripples from my mouth, the oxygen mask muffling it, endless tears stream down my face. My heart pounds with fear, I can still feel his hands around my neck. Arms snake around me and I scream, wanting to get away. "Summer, it was a dream. it was a dream." I shut my eyes tightly and take calming breaths, it was just a dream, just a dream. Jacob's comforting arms never leave my body. "You're okay." He coos, his warm breath tickling my ear. I finally relax after a minute and he releases me. I fall back on to the bed. My chest is aching badly, probably because I just had a heart attack. Jacob looks awful. He has dark bags under his bloodshot eyes. His hair is flatened and all over the place.

I glance up to see my father. "Dad?" Tears come to my eyes. He extends his arms and I fall into them. "I'm so sorry, I should have never left you alone." "dad, it wasn't your fault. Don't blame yourself." I whisper closing my eyes. After a minute he pulls away. "Well, I know hospital food is not that great so I'm going to get you something to eat." Before I can protest he walks out of the room. A thick silence fills the room, the question gnawing at the back of my mind.

"How is she?" I whisper. He sighs looking down at the ground. "Umm, the doctor said she's stable, she hasn't woken up yet." I nod. "Jacob..." I croak out, choking back tears. "Yeah?" "It's my fault." I cry out covering my eyes. "No it is not. Don't you dare blame yourself." But it is my fault, if I would have just run, it wouldn't have happened. I could have gone and got help before they even noticed I left. But I decided to be stupid and now look what happened. "But it is. It's all my fault. I decided to be stupid, I had the chance to get help instead I tried to get a knife and was caught. It could have been prevented."

"No, Summer. You did what you thought was right." I start shaking badly, my teeth chattering loudly. I nod, not wanting to talk about it. "Andy was here earlier." I say after minutes of silence. "I know." He says. "Why did he save me?" I ask. He shrugs his shoulders, "I don't know. You're going to have to ask him." I sigh and look up at the bright lights. "I wanted to die," I whisper, tears blurring my vision. "So did Amber. before she passed out she begged me to kill her." My heart breaks knowing Amber wanted to die. She didn't deserve this, she's so sweet and innocent, this wasn't supposed to happen to her. "now get some rest." Jacob says, I shake my head. "I don't want to have another nightmare." I whimper, even though I'm exhausted. "It's okay, I'm right here. I'll be here when you wake up."

His soothing words make my eyelids heavy and I fall into yet another nightmare.
