~^*~^*~^*~^*~^*Ruby's POV~^*~^*~^*

Everything was dark, dark as night.

"i'm dead...looks like I finally escaped what used to be my life of hell" Ruby thought to herself.

~Voices~

"I don't know when she will wake up but she will survive...looks like you saved her just in time" A man said.

"wait....if i'm dead who is that...I shouldn't be able to hear voices" Ruby thought to herself.

"So there's no way to predict when she will wake up?" a familiar voice said

"That voice....that voice I know it...it sounds so familiar" she thought

"i'm sorry Denis but I can't...she's in a mild comma so the most I can give you is that she mostly will wake up in a couple of months. I would say 6-12 months" the strange voice said again.

"Denis...I knew his voice sounded so familiar" she thought.

Everything went silent before I heard foot steps getting further and further away. for a moment I thought Denis and the man left until I heard someone sigh.

A chair scrapped the floor next to me before I heard the sound of someone sitting down.

I heard him take a long and slow breath before he let it out.

Every thing was silent until finally I heard him speak.

"Why....Why....that's all I want to know. why would you do this..why would you try to commit suicide" he said in a low voice.

"he wants to know why I try to commit suicide? is it hat hard to figure out?" she asked herself.

"I guess you have a good reason too but I just wish you didn't" he took a breath" i'm just glad I came in, in time"

"I really wish you didn't. I mean what life will I have here? he should just have left me under the water for a few more seconds.....that's all I needed, just a few more seconds and I wouldn't be listening to him question why I did when it's pretty clear as to why I did" she thought.

"I regret kidnapping you.....I regret ruining your life. I regret everything, if I could just take back that moment I was staring at you, You wouldn't be here with a ruin life and I wouldn't be talking to you in a hospital bed while your in a comma" he said in a whisper.

"Are you kidding!? he regret it? he should regret it! this is all his fault" She said in her thoughts.

"I wish you understood what I'm up against.....I wish I could tell you why I do this and why I have no freaking choice but too!" he said in a frustrated voice.

"Doesn't have a choice? What does he mean by that?" She asked in her thoughts as foots steps came in room.

"Denis!" A dark and deep voice said in the room. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up at his voice.

I could hear how Denis quickly got to his feet from the way the chair scrapped the floor and fell over.

"Yes sir?" Denis said.

"Why the hell are you in the infirmary? " He asked, his voice as dark as ever.

"I was just making sure Ruby made it sir..." His voice wasn't as stern as it usually is when he talks to people....something was up with the guy Denis was talking too.

"Don't pull that bullshit with me Denis. I just spoke to the doctor...he said you've been here the entire time he was working on her and you haven't left since....what gives" He asked sternly

I could hear Denis swallowing. "Just making sure she would make it sir....you know how sometimes the girls don't pull through"

"You know how sometimes the girls don't pull through? What the hell does that mean!?.....oh God..have there been girls who've died here!!?" She asked herself in her thoughts with a panic voice.

"Since when do you care if the girl makes it? You usually drops them off and be on your way" for some strange reason I could smell smoke. The mystery man was smoking without a care in the world.

"Sir....I just stayed to ask the doctors questions" Denis said. it was clear he was trying to move on from he topic but the mystery man was right...why was Denis here. That's a good question

"Denis...the guys needed you for the past two hours. A delivery was to be made and it was late because they was looking for you because you had the information...you was suppose to go with them but instead you was here sitting by this fucking girl for a reason I don't know" I could hear the rage in his voice.

"i'm....sorry sir" That word sounded so foreign coming out his mouth. It was like he barely said that word and I would bet money I was right.

"Sorry? is that all you have to say to me? by you sitting here on your damn ass by this fucking girl you costed me money....money that should be in my pocket" he said yelling in a way.

If I could I would have flinched.

"Listen here Denis...I need your ass down stairs, in the car with the guys, driving to get the next load of girls and driving back here within the hour...do you understand me?" he asked. his voice sounded dangerous.

"Yes sir!" Denis said in a strong voice.

"You better...because the next time you cost me money we won't be talking. That's a threat and a promise" He said before I heard foot steps walking away.

I could hear him letting out a breath.

After a few long minutes I heard his voice.

"If only you knew Ruby......if only you knew" He said in a low steady voice.

I felt something in my hand. it was big and ruff, yet soft in a way. I then realized he put his hand on mines. For a strange reason I wished I could move so I can touch his hand more.

I felt his hand slid off of mines and foot steps walking away.

"Wait!! Denis, don't leave me here!! " I screamed in my thoughts as if he could hear me, but no matter how much I screamed he kept walking

"Denis....Denis please don't go......don't leave me here......don't leave me alone" she said in a whisper in her head.

I could hear the door open and close, follow by foot steps down the hall until it disappeared and I could no longer hear it.

I sighed in my head and started thinking about a load of things. I had a lot of things unanswered. I just wished someone will answer my questions.... My biggest wish is that Denis would be the one to answer them.
