Poisoned Blood

<11>

I fell asleep, I don't know how from how much pain I was in, but I was exhausted. I'm dreaming. I'm at the fair again. There's lots of people there. Heather and Dad were there with me. Everything was blurry, I couldn't see totally clearly, but I could see.
"I think its time to go now" said dad. But we go get our drinks first. We walk up to the food booth. We ordered our drinks. When they guy went to go get the drinks, there was another person in the booth too. A lady, skinny with long blonde hair. I looked closer, trying to see who it was, it was blurry and everything was flashy and dim. I focused my eyes to determine who it was, I notice, the lady was...... Nurse Claire.
I wake up, gasping. I look around. Just me trapped in my hospital room. I realized it was only a dream. I put my palm against my fore-head. Trying to remember what just happened in my dream. I try to remember the day at the fair. Yes, I remember. Nurse Claire was in the food booth with the guy. Claire, she... She was the one who poisoned my drink! This changes everything. How can I trust Claire if she was the one who did this to me in the first place?! She did this to me! I can't trust anyone. I thought she was my friend, I thought she was so nice. I thought she was innocent and generous. Now I can't trust her for anything. Its 8:14 am. She comes into my room. I get all tense.
"Morning darling. How are you feeling?" She said. I'm trying to think, should I blame her now? Or should I wait? I'll do it now. Might as well, she should know that I know she did this.
"You did this to me" I say, staring into her eyes.
"What?" She said.
"You were the one at the fair. You poisoned my drink" I said angrily, my hands forming to fists. She looks down. Trying not to make eye-contact. She looks up and looks at me.
"It wasn't my fault" she whispered.
"What? What do you mean its not your fault?" I say in frustration and sit up and stare at her.
"Doctor Jonson threatened to kill me. He was hiding in the back, behind me in the booth, so no one could see him, and so he would see me poison the drink. He was going to kill me if I didn't" she said. Her eyes starting to water. I stare at her.
"How can I trust you?" I ask. She was wearing scrubs, but with a long-sleeve shirt under her top. She rolled up her sleeve. She had needle marks, cuts and bruises on her arm.
"Because doctor Jonson poisoned me too" She said honestly.
I was shocked. I never knew. She always tried to hide it. She's sick too.
"Oh..." I say hesitantly. "How come you don't have an i.v.?" I ask.
"I take quick needle shots all the time. I don't use the i.v. I was trying to hide the fact I was poisoned" She said.
"Now what?" I ask.
"I don't know. But do you trust me?" She asked. I sigh.
"How do I know I can trust you now? You did this to me" I respond.
"I know, and I'm sorry. I would've been killed if I didn't. I wouldn't have if I knew they were going to hurt such a sweet young girl like you. I'm sorry" she said.
"I've been through all this torture and it's your fault!" I growled, anger rising in my heart.
"It's not my fault! Dr. Jonson is to blame, not me" she said coldly.
"I'm.... I'm sorry... I'm just really scared...." I said,
"It's okay sweetheart" she said and gave me a hug.
Doctor Jonson come in. We pull away from each other.
"Bravo. You can be the poisoned pals" He said, slowly clapping. I growl. He pulls out a big bottle of liquid. The bottle has no label. I get really nervous. So does Claire. He comes over to me. His pocket looks full, so he might have another bottle of whatever is in his hand. He starts opening one of the bottles and I lean back into my bed. He shoves the bottle into my mouth trying to get me to drink it. I try to not drink it and trying to get the bottle out of my mouth, thrashing my head. It was a glass bottle. smaller than a beer bottle, not by a lot though it was about a quarter full of the liquid. He grabs my hair and pulls my head back, which makes me drink it. Claire gets up and whips the bottle out of his hand. The bottle flings across the room and smashes on the floor. I cough, as it tasted horrible, and who knows what could of been in there.
"That was more poison I made you drink. Now your  i.v. medicine only lasts one day. The medicine will have to be refilled every 26 hours, so if you escape, you won't get far" He said laughing. He dives at Claire with the second bottle, he was about to stick it into her mouth to make her drink it, but I grab the bottle and smash it on his head. He bends down and holds his head in pain. I grab my i.v. medicine bag then Claire and I jump up and run into the hallway we run towards the elevator, when the other surgeons come into the hallway and tackle us. We fall to the ground under them. I fall onto my broken arm, and pain spikes up all the way up to my shoulder. I yelp and scream,  I try to get up but they held me down. These people are violent, they show no mercy.
"Claire!" I yell.
"Stop it! Let us go!" She yells at the surgeons. They stab me with a needle. Woo, another sleepy needle. I fight trying to get up but the needle kicks in and I pass out. I don't know what happened to Claire.
When I wake. Of course I'm in my hospital room. Laying in my bed. My arm hurts. I wonder where Claire is. I'm kind of scared. What if Doctor Jonson comes? I don't want to be hurt again. I have tons of big bruises, from being tackled. Since being poisoned makes me bruise easily. Claire comes into my room.
"Morning" she yawns and sits next to me.
"Morning" I say quietly.
"I'm sorry about what happened yesterday..." she said.
"Claire, it's okay, you don't have to say sorry, its not your fault" I say.
"I know it's not my fault, but I am sorry for whats happening" she said,
"Let's stop talking about this" I say. We sit there for a bit watching t.v together. I'm still hurting. I stretch and there's a spark of pain in my belly. I hate the stitches, the doctor didn't even do a good job. I wish I could heal, but the poison makes my body unable to heal, so whatever the doctor does to me, it won't go away unless they find a cure. The cuts and the bruises won't heal till this poison is eliminated.
What if they never find a cure.
