Chapter 6 sneak peek

"Everything okay?" my mum asks as she steps into my room. "Yeah, everything is excellent, mum," I say, excited to tell her about my day. "Kristen and I went to the pub and had a drink." My mum raises her eyebrows at the fact I went out into public. I smile at her, letting her know that everything went well. "It felt great... we had a great time."

"Well, I'm glad you got out," she grins at me. My new pet dog, Elizabeth runs to my feet. She jumps in my lap and begins to lick my face. With my feet, I gently push her out of my face while I let the laughter fall from my lips.

"I think she wants to go walking," my mum guesses. I nod. "I can take her for a walk then."

My mum helps me tie the leash around my waist and I head out the door with Elizabeth leading far ahead. I laugh at her eagerness to go outside. "Wait up, pup!" I call as she darts down the pavement.

She barks back. We begin our walk in the quiet neighborhood. I can hear the dog's pants. A man walking his dog passes by nodding. "How do you do mate?"

"Fine, man, you?" I reply as our dogs begin to sniff each other. "Just fine," he answers back. He walks off in the distance. It gets dark and that's when I realize how far I have walked. I'm already tired.

Elizabeth looks up at me as I sigh and cocks her head. "You ready to go back home?" I ask her and her tail simply wags in response. I begin to turn around but Elizabeth has other plans. I feel the leash tugging at my waist. I turn around to see her pulling as hard as her little body can against the leash in the opposite direction.

"Stop," I mutter really ready to go home. I pull her back to my direction. We go back in forth till I just give up. I decide to walk farther.

We are not in the neighborhood anymore. We pass traffic lights, convenience stores, and shopping outlets, but still Elizabeth wants to continue walking. The sun sets and the night sky appears showcasing its bright moon.

"We really have to go now," I say to her tugging back. Elizabeth is still stubborn and selfish. Maybe I'm too nice, but I agree to walk a little farther. Elizabeth wimpers as the area gets darker because of lack of street lights. I can barely see. Not wanting to go farther, she gladly joins me in the right direction.

I get an uneasy feeling in my stomach and begin to pick up the pace, eager to get home where it is safe and comfortable... and light. I swear I hear something behind me and when I stop and turn around, Elizabeth does the same, her ears perking up. She begins to bark and that is when I see a flash. I am momentarily blinded by the bright light in the darkness and look around in confusion. There are more flashes and I begin to hear male voices. I know immediately who it is and begin to run. Elizabeth, undfortunately, holds me back. She didn't follow, she just kept standing there barking at the paparazzi.

"Come on," I hiss with the biggest tug I make, but I end up tripping and I fall hard on the concrete ground. The pain consumes me and I feel salty liquid pouring out my mind. Thanks to the flashing lights I'm familar with the color of crimson red. It's blood. I try to say something, but it's just more blood disabling me from properly speaking.

Elizabeth's bark is in my ear. I try to get get up, but I can't. I don't have enough strength to.

"Someone call an ambulance!" a hear a male voice shout. I wonder if it's a paparazzi member. I groan with tears in my eyes.

[Twilight_Moon]

Oooo, I like that sneak peek. I hope that's Rob who's come to help her.

"Someone call an ambulance!" a hear a male voice shout. I wonder if it's a paparazzi member. I groan with tears in my eyes.

Poor Rob!!! I hope that, whoever that paparazzi jerk is who was chasing after him feels really, really guilty for allowing Rob to get hurt.

[Summerdays]

Thanks for the review

[DeeDee777]

Oooo, I like that sneak peek. I hope that's Rob who's come to help her.

You hope that's Rob who's come to help whom? Rob's the one who needs the help . . . he's the one who's lying on the ground, bleeding from a head wound because he was unable to prevent himself from falling to the pavement. I just hope that one of the paps feels guilty enough about what happened that they actually call for an ambulance.

I'm actually going to post the rest tonight. Haley and I are still working on the 7th chapter.

Thanks to the flashing lights I'm familar with the color of crimson red. It's blood. I try to say something, but it's just more blood disabling me from properly speaking.

Elizabeth's bark is in my ear. I try to get get up, but I can't. I don't have enough strength to.

"Someone call an ambulance!" a hear a male voice shout. I wonder if it's a paparazzi member. I groan with tears in my eyes.

A lady helps me up. Blood continues to ooze from my mouth. She uses her jacket to cover my mouth.
The lady attempts to usher me from the paps, but now that they have an even more interesting story, they are determined to get every bit of film they can. "Will you all leave him alone! We need to get him help!" I heard the lady yell out to the rats as she wrapped an arm around my shoulders.

Elizabeth barks. "I can take you to the hospital," she says. I nod thanking her. She takes me to the hospital. The lady has a very warm feeling so I feel comfortable with her.

She helps me over to the front desk where a nurse sat at a computer. When the nurse looked up, her eyes grew. When she composed herself, she asked what she could do to help."This young man was being harassed by a group of paparazzi," the lady, whose name I learned to be Susan, informs the woman behind the desk. "He got knocked over and hit his face on the pavement." I see two more nurses come up to me, one male and the other female. They sit me in a wheelchair and begin to walk me away. "Are you family?" the male asked Susan. She looked to me and I nodded, needing...someone to be here for me. "Yes, I'm his aunt," she says and starts to follow behind the nurses as they take me to an examination room.

Noticing my dog, we get briefly stopped. "Oh no pets allowed...should have said that from the beginning," the nurse said. We all turn to look at Elizabeth. "Who is going to watch our pet?" Susan asks. The nurse picks up the phone and calls for the security to take care of the dog for awhile. We go in the examination room. My mouth and whole face is swore.

The male nurse numbs my face as a doctor walks into the room. He washes his hands and puts some latex gloves on before coming to stand before me. The doctor intorduces himself as Dr. Matthews and I give him my information. I wince a few times as he begins to clean to open wounds on my face.

"What exactly happened?"

"He tripped and hit himself hard on the pavement," Susan answers.

The doctor examines my mouth. The bleeding had stopped. "Ah you lost your teeth?"

"Uh huh," was all I could get out for a reply. "We're going to have to schedule an apointment for an orthodontist," the doctor informs me and my eyes grow wide. "Don't worry, it won't hurt, they'll give you novacaine and fix you right up," he assures me. No matter what he says, I am still nervous about the procedure..

"It's just your front teeth. It could have been alot worse," he adds.

Susan puts a hand on my shoulder, soothing me as the doctor proceeds with the examoination. After he's done fixing me up, he prescribes medication and schedules an appointment with the orthodonist for tomorrow. He gives me a prescription for a pain medication before he signs me out.

I thank Susan for keeping me company. I was beginning to forget she was a stranger. "No problem. It's the person I am," she says with a warm smile. She offers to take me home. Before we go we make sure Elizabeth comes with us.

Once we get the my dog from security, we head for her car. I give her directions to my home and she begins the forty-five minute drive.

"How bad do I look?" I ask looking at my reflection. I want her opinion. My speech sounds a little weird.

I sound like a six-year old after losing their front teeth. The small lisp embarasses me. "You look bad-ass," Susan replies with a smile on her face and I roll my eyes. "Don't worry about it," she says.

"I don't need to lose anything else...," I joke referring to my missing arms.

Susan laughs along with me. When we reach my house, I thank her again before climbing out of the car and walking up to the front door. I then remember I forgot to get my medication from the pharmacy. Thank God for now my mouth is still numb, but soon it'll fade. Susan is just about to drive off until she sees me walking back to her car.
She pulls down her window. "You need anything?"

"Um, yeah," I say sheepishly. Can I get a ride to the pharmacy? I can't exactly drive myself." She smiles. "Hop in," she says and I get in before she heads off. I get my prescription and we begin to head back to my home.

"Thanks."

"No problem. You know we should keep in contact," she says. I nod. "I would like that. I always like making new friends," I say.

We exchange numbers before I walk into my house. As I try to sneak up to my room, my mum stops me. "Robert!? What happened?" she asks in shock when she notices my face. "It's nothing, mum. I'm 24, I'm a big boy. I handled it," I try to reassure her, but she notices my lisp and runs over to examin me herself. "Dear God! You're missing teeth!" she shouts.

Elizabeth runs upstairs barking. "I had an accident," I say. "Tell me what happened," she says sternly.

"I was walking and tripped falling on my face," I answer.

"I knew you shouldn't have gone out alone!" she argues. I let out a deep sigh in frustration. "No mum, it wasn't exactly my fault. I'm fine on my own, you know that," she gave me a look and I went on, defending myself, "You see, some photographers found me and I was a bit blinded by their flashes, and I tripped trying to get away from them. But don't worry, this lady helped me and took me...
to the pharmacy to get my medication."

My mum raised her eyebrows. "And I have an appointment with an orthodontist tomorrow to fix my teeth. So, I'll need a ride." My mum surprised me by wrapping her arms aorund me and giving me a huge hug.

"Sorry I'm just worried about you. I don't want you getting hurt ever again," she says.

"I won't or try not to," I say. I kiss her cheek and she pulls away. "I'm heading off to bed," I say as I make my way to the stairs. "Rough night," I call behind me as an explanation.
