White, white was the only thing I could see, including my long dress, which was also white. Not knowing what to do, I start walking, even though it seemed that I would never get anywhere.
"Hello?" When speaking, an echo is present, being heard very loudly.
Nobody answers me, in a desperate act, I start to run, until I stumble.
Many questions came to my mind, to which I had no answers, or at least, I still did not have them.
Where I am? Because I'm alone?
With my nails, I try to scratch the ground in search of a way out, without a solution, everything seemed so lost, until the floors become a kind of melted blanket, I was able to remove my nails in time, but my feet started to sink , plus my arms were caught by others coming out of the ground.
"Let go of me!"
After shouting that, two other arms came out, but only to push me, and put me on the ground, piercing him completely.
I will never forget how I felt that I almost died drowned in a sticky sea, however, a very large hole made its way, letting me fall into the void.
"Nicole"
Even falling, I hear what they call me, without seeing anything or anyone.
"Help me please!"
At the time I thought that the fall would not have an end, but I was wrong, I ended up falling on a large white mattress and bouncing off it, falling sharply to the ground.
"Hello" Someone speaking behind my back.
When I turn around, still on the ground, I find a masked boy, the same one who had cut my back, or so I thought.
"What are you doing here?" I ask him, crawling, trying to get as far away from him as possible. He smiles, and slowly approaches.
"Do you know where we are?" Question, which I deny. "You don't even know where we are, I won't tell you what I'm doing here"
"Then tell me, where are we?" He smiles again and then sits in an imaginary chair, since he couldn't see her.
"Wake up, Nicole, wake up"
Nicole.
Awake.
"Awake!"
I open my eyes and breathe hard, letting my lungs fill with air again, finding my friends looking worried, having a nurse in front of me with defibrillators and a mask.
"Finally awake, Nicole, we worry a lot" I spoke Dani hugging me, passing by the cables that surrounded me.
"Be careful, please" Speak the nurse.
"What happened to me, where am I?" I ignored the nurse and sat down on the gurney.
"I leave you alone" The nurse spoke, and then she left.
"Yesterday the alarms of the police station near your house went off, more policemen went to see, they found the doors forced open and you and an officer were lying on the ground in a large pool of blood"
"And later?"
"They were brought to a hospital and started to treat them" This is Michael.
"How is the officer?" They looked at each other, until Dani answered me.
"He is serious, we are not going to lie to you, he has a big blow to the head"
I just sigh and stand up, disconnecting all the cables, trying to reach my already washed clothes.
"What are you doing, are you crazy?" Diego got up, stopping me, to then get up and lay down on the stretcher again.
A stabbing pain occurred when I laid my back on the pillow, causing me to groan out loud.
What do I have on my back?
They look at each other, not knowing what to answer, so Michael grabs a small mirror and hands it to me.
"What the fuck? I say when I see the initials that took up almost my entire back. "Who the fuck is J.W?"
"I do not know"
The nurse said that you put this cream every day, and that the doctor will come to tell you when you can go.
"Then you have to tell us what happened to you in more detail, we will see who is the idiot to be killed"
"I will tell you everything, just let me sleep, I'm quite sleepy"
They nodded, said goodbye, and left the room, telling a doctor that I was going to be alone.
I closed my eyes enjoying the softness of a hospital bed, then fell asleep.
I fall back into the same hole, with all white around, falling directly on the ground, except that I did not feel any pain.
"Again here?" He told me, with a book in his hands.
I look at it and I sit on the mattress in that place.
"Why did you do this?" I ask him, he stops reading his book and watches me.
"What did I do to you?" Her confused face puzzles me.
"This" I lift my dress and show him my back.
"I don't see anything, Nicole"
A frustration grew in me, like an incredible anger, it is taking me for an idiot.
"Like nothing?" With my fingers, I tried to reach the wound area and was surprised to find nothing.
"Look at it for yourself" He spoke, pointing to a full-length mirror that he hadn't seen until now. After saying that, he grabs his book and continues reading.
I go to the mirror, and he looked at my back, it was true, I had nothing, not a single cut.
"But I thought so..."
"Want?" He handed me a pill of a strange green color.
"What is this?" I ask when I have it in the palm of my hand.
"It's mint" He answers, putting one in his mouth, and walking away.
I glance at the pill suspiciously, put it in a pocket of my dress, and run after him. Taking a good look at him, he was dressed in black, next to his mask, but still showed his hair, shiny and curly.
"So we are in my dreams?"
He looks at me and then puts his hands in his pockets.
"Maybe"
We continue walking in complete silence.
Until he breaks the silence himself.
"You are entertaining, I liked spending time with you" I look at him and answer.
"Thank you" After a few seconds he stops, looking at nothing, then turns his head to the right and a chapel magically appears.
"I think you have to go now, but I'll wait for you Nicole" he says and lies down.
I look at him strangely, he tried to say something to him, but he's gone, I was alone.
Suddenly, the white place I was in that seemed to have no end, turns into a room, rapidly filling with water.
"What?" I said, but the water was already covering my hip. "Oh no, hey you, masked boy, help me" I yelled.
But nobody showed up.
From one moment to another, the water covered me, making me unable to breathe, so I began to swim, away from the ceiling of the room.
No corner had any openings, and try as I might, the walls were too hard to kick.
Until I drown
I opened my eyes desperately, I start to look around me, I'm still here, in the hospital.
A relief runs through me, touching every part of me, I sigh and look at the door.
Five seconds passed for a doctor to enter my room and lay down some towels.
"You can go now if you want, your friends are outside, they just told me that they are going to leave you alone in the room to rest, anything call a nurse.
I nod and he leaves.
Did they just tell you?
But I was walking with the masked man for like an hour.
I wanted to stop thinking about time and focus on what happened to me.
Someone entered my room last night and cut my whole back, I was able to escape from him, arriving at a police station and for certain reasons I ended up in a hospital.
"What did I do to them, and why did they hurt me so much?"
Stop thinking and decide to get up, change my clothes, before leaving, I go to the bathroom from there and look at my back in the mirror.
The cut was there.
After that, I left the room to find my friends. When they saw me, they asked what I was doing out of bed, to which I replied that the doctor discharged me, that we could go now.
When we left the hospital, we went to a supermarket and bought some things for Dani's house, such as French fries or the odd snack.
Then we arrived at his house and the questions were not lacking.
"So, they entered your house" Michael understood everything as he drank some of his soda.
"Yes" I put a potato chip in my mouth. "Choose a movie, I'll go get some ice"
"And you say it so calm?" Dani asks me, showing her anger.
" What do you want me to do, make me cry? No, I prefer to know who it was, but I think it will be in time" I leave the word in his mouth and go to the kitchen.
I put a very large amount of ice in my glass and head to the kitchen. Apparently, they had put the puss in boots, to be able to relieve the tension that we feel.
In the middle of Puss in Boots, the doorbell rang.
"Guys, go see who it is" I said, but nobody made the effort to get up, so, it was me.
I look at the window that faces the front of the house, there is no one. I go to the door, and I go out, seeing nothing or nobody, I turn around ready to go in, but when I go up the steps I trip over a bag, I grab it and carry it inside the house.
Upon entering, I go to the kitchen and notice that there are sweets, chocolates and a lot of fried foods in the bag.
But inside there was a pink piece of paper, that when I took it out and saw what it had written "Eat all these things that I buy you, do not eat other people's meals, enjoy it, my love, JW" in italics and of a golden color, I froze.
"Who was?" Said Diego entering the kitchen. I felt him snatch the card from me and read its contents.
"What is this, Nicole?"
