Chapter 18 - Please help me

[Villa Umbra Rosa]

Jemisha went inside and was dead tired.

She laid down on the couch and closed her eyes for a moment but she just fell asleep.

After a few hours she woke up by a stabbing pain.

Jemisha eyes flew open and grabbed her assailant and managed to push him of off her.

She didn't looked at her wounds but was fighting him purely on adrenaline.

She managed to get the upper hand and the man stabbed himself in the end and died.

Jemisha was still feeling the adrenaline coursing and she just as she wanted to make a call, when two man came rushing in.

It were Blake and Jack.

Jemisha was getting weak in her legs and collapsed, because she had lost a lot of blood and fighting the attacker made everything worse.

The shock was now hitting her, 'Please help me.'

"Black Rose look at me, you can't fall asleep now."

Jemisha saw Jack, 'I'm sorry… I got mad at you like that.'

'I didn't mean it…'

"I know…you don't have to apologize to me, I should be apologizing to you."

"I'm sorry for treating you like a child."

'This is 4, and also number 3.'

'Ahh… this is going to leave some bad scares…'

'Now I'm unfit for marriage…who would want a wife with so many scares?'

"If that were to happen then they are not fit to be your husband, because there is much, much more to you then your appearance" Blake said to her.

"And I don't mind a few scars."

'Are you flirting again Blake…'

'I'm too tired right now so wake me up in a few hours…'

"Black Rose!!!!"

Jemisha lost her conscience because of the blood loss but the paramedics saw it happen and rushed in.

Luckily Jack managed to top the bleeding of major parts of the body, and she was hooked up to a heart monitor and put one stretcher.

"Blake you go with her, I'll meet you later in the hospital."

Blake left with the paramedics.

Jack stayed behind and took the wallet of the dead culprit and found his name and address, he also found his phone and went through it.

He found out he belonged to a gang and the person who gave him the order.

Jack was in full fury mode and left the villa to go to his place and pick up his sniper rifle and hunt down the whole gang.

[Hospital in Singapore]

Jemisha was in the operation room and Blake called Loki and Chris to tell them what had happened.

"Wasn't her security system working?"

"It was that how we found out she was attacked, she was sleeping on the couch and she didn't feel the first two stabs… after the third time she woke up."

"Blake this is not good… She just arrived back home only a few hours…"

"I know that! But we can't all stay in her house like that…she needs her space."

"What about the attacker?"

"She managed to fight him off and made him stab and kill himself."

"Alright… me and Loki will get the next flight to Singapore."

"Keep us posted!"

"I will."

Hugo just arrived and the sign from the operation room turned off.

The doctor came out, "She is out of danger and she will be un-conscience but for how long we don't know, she lost a lot of blood but she is also a lucky girl, to survive such an attack."

"She will be moved to her room now and I think it would be for the best if you placed some security at her door, because by the looks of the stab wounds this was personal."

"Thank you doctor."

Jemisha came out, Hugo and Blake fallowed her to her room.

When they arrived at the room they saw 2 security guards standing at the door.

Hugo noticed they were no hospital security guards.

They went inside the nurses made sure she her monitors were working and she was comfortable.

When they left Hugo asked "Where is Jack?"

"He is probably hunting down the one who gave the orders." 

[One week later]

Jemisha was still un-conscience but showed signs of waking up soon.

Her wounds were healing up nice, but it was now a matter of what the damage was to her brain due to the blood loss.

Jack came to visit and brought Spike over, although the hospital staff was against it, Jack showed them the papers that he was a her dog that was helping her with her PTDS.

Spike was always quiet when he came to visit and just sat next to her bed, waiting for her to wake up. Because he was so well behaved the doctors allowed him to be there unsupervised.

The doctor who came for a routine check saw Spike was quiet like always and well behaved.

"Are you here for a visit?" The doctor patted him.

After he was done checking the machines he left again.

A few hours past and Spike started to whimper and after that he started to bark.

Jack who was on his way to pick him up again heard him and told a nurse to fallow him and another to get the doctor.

When Jack and the nurse came to the room they saw Jemisha was sitting up in bed and even tried to leave her bed.

Spike kept barking telling her not to leave the bed.

But she ignored Spike and pulled of everything that was attached to her.

Jack rushed in to the room to stop her.

"Black Rose stop it!"

Jemisha looked up and saw Jack and she stopped.

He gave her a hug to calm her down.

"Be good and wait for the doctor and let them remove the wires and tubs."

Jemisha calmed down a little.

The doctor came in to the room and saw she was awake, sitting up and had pulled of half of her heard monitor wires.

"Hello there."

Jemisha heard an unfamiliar voice and looked up and a look of wariness on her face.

"I'm doctor Crane, and I'm the bastard who wired you up like that."

Jemisha started to laugh but soon turned in to a cough.

The nurse gave her a class of water but she wouldn't accept it because she didn't trust the nurse and to her the nurse could have tempered with it.

Jack gave her a bottle of water that was unopened and she took it.

The nurse understood very well the reason for her actions and didn't take it to heart. Who could blame her, because of how she came in and was attacked like that, anybody would be distrustful of people they never seen before.

The doctor check her and she looked fine on the outside.

"Jemisha do you know where you are?"

'Hospital?'

The doctor nodded.

"Do you remember what happened?"

Jemisha was thinking 'Stabbed…I got.'

She then looked at Jack 'Please…home can I go.'

'Stay here I don't want to.'

The doctor looked concerned, her words were clear but her sentences were a mess.

'Jack and me leave, home I go.'

Blake came in to the room since he would come and visit her.

"Black Rose!"

Jemisha saw Blake.

'Blake me no staying, home I want go.'

Blake heard her sentences were a mess but then opened his laptop and put it in front of her.

"I'm sorry, but the doctor has to clear you before you go, and your sentences are a mess."

Jemisha understood what he meant and she typed down what she meant.

Surprisingly every sentences she wanted to say sounded strange but were perfect on the screen.

'Jack, Blake I don't want to stay here, I want to go home.'

'Please can I go home?'

Jemisha started to tear up.

The doctor check what she had typed and saw everything was perfect.

"It seems the part over her brain that regulates speech was affected by the blood loss."

The doctor looked at Jemisha "You can go home on a few condition."

Jemisha looked up to him.

"You promise me you will not be alone until all your wounds are healed, and practice your speech and come for regular check-ups."

'Promise.'

"Alright, I will send over a nurse to help out at home."

'NO!'

'Jack and other only.'

'Doctor don't push it now, you can clearly see that the attack had affected her, and don't expect her to trust anybody and everybody.'

The nurse then turned to Jemisha, 'Jemisha, when you get home and feel more comfortable would you mind that I come and visit you, not as a nurse but as a friend.'

Jemisha nodded.

She stretched out her hand to the nurse and the nurse walked up to her and took it, Jemisha pulled her toward her and hugged her. 'Shane.'

Jack had a good idea why she called the nurse Shane.

"Alright let's pack up and go home"

'Blake...'

"Hmm"

'Flirting no go.'

Jack started to laugh.

"Ahh, but I know you like me that way the best."

'No me like Mouse more...'

Blake smiled and patted her head, "Then I will change my tactics to make you like me more."

'Pfft.'

Jack and the doctor left the room and talked about her current condition.

'Jemisha, be good and let yourself heal, I'll come and visit you an a few days.'

'Hmm, I'll be good girl and listen to everybody, even if I don't like.'

Everybody heard her words and it seemed she was getting better at her speech the more she talked.

"I recommend you guys talk to her a lot, and for now just give her positive stimulation and words."

'Mister Jack, why did she call me Shane?' The nurse asked.

"Spike had a buddy called Shane and they both always helped her out when she had nightmares or other anxiety related matters. But two months ago when she was doing her daily running routine Shane got shot."

"I think you give her a vibe similar to Shane."

"You keep your distance from her but help when you think she needs something, but also be patient and backed off when she felt distrustful."

'I understand, what she need is a friend and not a nurse.'

'See you in a few days.'
