around them. Brandon was towering
over someone with an angry glare. The man looked shocked and a little
frightened. Another man watching on looked almost a bit amused. She
woke.
When he sprinted to her side, she stared at him with
pale skin and fear in her eyes. "Can you call Chloe to come? You look
exhausted."
"Sure, I'll give her a call. I'll be right
back, but I'm fine."
When Chloe arrived, she managed to talk Brandon into
going home for a few hours to tend to some things at the office and get some
rest. "You need to sleep in a real bed; she will need your full attention
when she gets out of here." That's the only thing that convinced him to
leave her side. The doctor's had told him that morning that she should be able
to go home very soon.
After he had gone Missy hesitantly told Chloe the
memory she had recalled. Chloe could see the apprehension on her face.
"I'm not sure Missy, you've never mentioned that." Chloe talked to
her about the night in the club. Missy had recollected that evening already .
Chloe had also made sure to let her know that she had moved beyond that. Missy
turned her gaze toward the window. "This was worse than the night at the
club. I saw...there was blood. It was all over some guy's face. I don't know...maybe
it was just a dream. It felt so real."
Chapter 14
"Therapy?" Chloe looked up and saw a much
brighter Brandon standing in the door of the hospital room. His large frame
filled the opening.
"Yep. She should be back pretty soon."
She sat up in her chair and folded her hands together, then gently placed them
on her lap. "I'm actually glad we have a chance to talk alone. I wanted
to let you in on a dream she had. I don't know if this will mean anything to you,
but I know it has her kind of freaked out."
Brandon gasped as she told the rendition of the
night at the bar.
"I take it by your expression it was more than
just a dream," Chloe sighed loudly. "I guess it's good that she is
remembering more from that night."
Brandon took a moment then explained everything that
happened in the bar with Mark just hours before the attack. Chloe listened
carefully. "You should probably talk to her about this. It may help put
into place the last few things she's missing."
"I will. I've got it from here. Thanks for
coming." Brandon rubbed his fingers through his hair.
Brandon paced as he waited for Missy to return. He
didn't know how he was going to tell her everything that had happened before
she left him at the bar. Telling her was taking a chance on her getting upset
again. Missy, discontent and panicked was the last thing he wanted. He hated
the expression she had on her face that night, as if she had seen a stranger.
It's probably the same look she gave the bastard that assaulted her. Shit.
Don't even let yourself go there. Surely she didn't believe he was
anything like some random thug. They knew each other better than that, even if
she was just remembering it.
"Hey, you back?"
Missy looked drained, the therapy was usually hard
on her.
"Yeah, you can't keep me away long. I hate
being away from you."
"Is Chloe still here?" She asked as he
helped her back into the hospital bed.
"No, I told her she could head out. I wanted
to talk to you about something."
Missy could tell by his appearance it wasn't going
to be a cheerful conversation. Oh no! Did Chloe mention the dream to him?
Chloe had a minor in psychology so it was in her nature to try and fix things
even when Missy didn't want her to.
"Okay, what's up?" Missy questioned
apprehensively.
"I wanted to talk to you about the night of the
attack. The dream you had wasn't just a dream."
"Yeah, I didn't think so."
Brandon enlightened Missy on everything that
happened. It all came back through each detail he gave. She remembered the
bar, Mark, and the anger in Brandon's eyes. She had seen that anger before
when she was younger
over someone with an angry glare. The man looked shocked and a little
frightened. Another man watching on looked almost a bit amused. She
woke.
