Pain In the Stomach

I could feel his breath hitting my neck. I close my eyes. Thoughts were just filling my head. We're sleeping in the same bed! This has to be a dream? Everything is going to fast!

I opened my eyes and turn my head and take a glance at him. He fell fast asleep. I carefully move his arms and climb off the bed. I smile, no things are going just the way they're supposed to. I quietly walk out of the room and down the stairs.

"Miss, where are you going?"

I stop, 'ah, just going to take a walk outside."

"You should rest before your cold gets worse."

"I'll be fine. I'm going to go buy some items and be back."

I walked to the door and open it. The maid stops me and handed me a sweatshirt.

"Thank you." I say as I walk out.

I shut the door behind me and take a breath.

"Hopefully he doesn't wake up before i get back."

I put my hands in the pockets on the sweatshirt and continue to walk out the gate and to the nearest convenience store.

Zhi xiang and me used to go to the convenience store all the time after school. Buy snacks then go to the park just to have long conversations. His favorite snack were shrimp chips. I grab a three bags and go to pay for them. After paying I place them in a bag and walk out of the store. The sun started to set and the night was getting darker and more chilly. As I walk down the road and head back to the house. I get a message from my mother.

Mom: where are you?

Me: at Zhi xiang's house, are you alright?

Mom: I am now! Am i finally going to get grand babies!?

Me: mom we aren't even married yet. And either way…

Mom: HUSH! Those babies will come, i just no it! But have a goodnight sweetheart, love you.

Me: love you too.

I put my phone down and back into the pocket when suddenly Li Li stands in front of me with a knife in her hands. Her hair was crazy, she looked crazy as if she just got out of a bad breakup...well if Zhi xiang counts.

"Slut." She says repeatedly "Slut. Slut. Slut. Zhi Xiang is mine! You slut!"

She stabs me in the stomach area and runs off. I fall to the ground when a old woman notices me in my own blood and dials the police.

As I close and open my eyes, trying to breath, trying to get up though it hurts. My sight then slowly fades and everything becomes black but I still hear the voices around me.

"Ma'am! Ma'am tell us your name!"

When I opened my eyes, I look around I was still bleeding, i was being rushed into at the hospital. The doctor asks me again, "ma'am! Tell us your name!"

"M..my name..Xiaoxiao Lin.."

When we enter the surgery room the doctor tells one of the nurses to try and contact my family members.

A giant lights then flashes above me, each doctor had a mask on.

"Zhi xiang...mommy.."

Then again, I drift into unconsciousness but in my head, my thoughts were going wild. Am I going to die? No! Why! Zhi xiang, someone please contact him! I can't..not now. No i won't.

After what felt like i was in a dream, I open my eyes and look around. My mom was sitting in a chair and next to me was zhi xiang, holding my hand.

"Mom.."

"Xiaoxiao!" They both jump.

My mom begins the tear up, while zhi xiang holds me. My mom then stands and walk to the door.

"I'll leave you guys be."

When the door shut, Zhi xiang kisses my forehead.

"Why did you leave? Why didn't you just stay asleep? Now look, you were injured and was out for a week!"

"Sorry...do you guys know?"

"Know what?"

"Who did it! Stab me!"

"No, they couldn't find anything. Do you remember what happened or who it was?"

"No..i don't but I do remember it was a woman..she was.angry."

He kisses my cheek, "I'll find the person and make them pay but for now just rest."

I push him away and rub my cheek, "I was asleep for a week. If I rest more I'm afraid I'll get a stiff back."

He sigh and lay back in the chair.

"No. No more running off. Just rest. Okay?"

I cross my arms and look away. "Fine."
