Road to Recovery
Kelsey's POV
I wake up to the sweet smell of Anne's blueberry pancakes. I thought I was at Michael's house. I sit up and look over where Michael was. He isn't there. I am at Michael's house. I get up and slowly make my way to the kitchen.
I peak inside and see Anne in the kitchen. Michael is no where to be seen.
"Anne? "
She clinched up for a second. "Good morning, Kelsey. "
I sat down on the stool next to the counter.
"It smells delicious, Anne. "
"Thank you. "
She's acting weird. Why hasn't she turned around yet?
"Anne..turn around. "
Anne puts down her utensils and leaned against the counter next to the stove.
"You weren't suppose to be in here so early...I haven't cleaned up yet. "
"I don't care if you have flour or pancake mix on you ", I giggled, "Just turn around. "
She didn't move.
"Anne... "
"Kelsey, please... Go back to the bedroom. "
I stood up.
"You're scaring me, Anne...turn around... "
She still doesn't move. I slowly make my way toward her, when I nearly slipped on something on the floor. I looked down.
"Blood.... "
Anne turned toward me. She was covered in blood. Her hands, her face, her shirt, her pants, her shoes, her hair.... I couldn't tell from the back.
I ran to Anne and grabbed her.
"Who did this to you? "
She didn't answer. I ran to the phone, nearly slipping again.
I started to dial 9-1-1, but something came over me. I turn and look at Anne. She's crying.
"You...you don't have any cuts or stab marks on you... Where did this blood come from? "
I look on the floor and notice a trail from the kitchen leading to the basement door next to the refrigerator. I hang up the phone and walk to the door. I look at Anne who has fell to the floor crying.
I open the door, turn the light on, and the blood leads down the stairs to the right. I clench my jaw. I slowly make my way down the stairs. I turn right and the blood leads to the freezer.
I walk over to it and say a small prayer. Then I open it. When the fog disappears, my heart stops beating. I let out a heart wrenching scream.
Michael is laying there with his stomach cut wide open. His insides are missing. His eyes are frozen open. His throat is slit.
I slide to the floor. Holding on to the edge of the freezer.
My heart is beating to fast. To fast. To fast. To fast. To fast.
I fall back and hit my head hard on the concrete floor. All I see is the ceiling light. It swings back and forth slowly. My vision starts to blur. Soon, nothing but black consumes my eyesight.

"Michael! Michael! Michael! "
I sit up fast. Remembering the events that happened earlier.
"Michael! Michael! Michael! "
Its dark. I can't see a thing. I bear footsteps coming toward me. Then, I feel arms wrap around me. I get scared. I start struggling until I hear his voice.
"I'm here. I'm here, Kelsey. Everything is alright. I'm here. "
"Turn the light on. "
I wanted proof that it was him.
I hear the bed groan and then I hear a click sound. Light spreads through the room. I quickly look toward the man that I wanted to be here. He turns around and looks at me.
It is him! I immediately start crying. I reach my arms out for him to hold me.
Michael's POV
I take Kelsey in my arms. I squeeze her and kiss her forehead. She must've had a terrible dream about me. I don't want her to ever think I'm not here or that I left her. That'll never happened.
She has to see a therapist. Now is not the time to tell her. I'll do it tomorrow.
