Chapter thirty nine

Immediately Antonia left I pressed my call bell, I needed someone to sit at my door. My hands were shaking, as I lay waiting.

" Mr Bongiovi are you ok?"
" no can you get a senior member of your team please?"
"sir I am trained, what ever you need I can help?"
" thanks but this is not medical, it's personal safety."
" in what way sir? We're all trained, you are in good hands..."
I started feeling irked, " look instead of talking with no comprehension of what I'm asking could you please get me a senior member of the hospital staff?"
" unfortunately, it's late and all the senior registrar's have left for the day, two members are on call for emergency cases being admitted, is your quest an emergency? "
" in one way, but not medical, look make a note for the senior registrar to call see me tomorrow ok?"
" Certainly,  is there anything else I can do for you?"
"no, thanks I'm good."
The nurse left, I needed to get hold of Rich or matt... I rolled over gently and  fumbled in the bedside draw for my cellphone, but couldn't find it. How stupid of me, it would be wherever they had taken me and no doubt still in the pocket of my jeans they cut from my body... "Fuck"

I could not rest, without knowing that there was someone keeping watch outside. I tried to calm myself by taking gentle breaths, which killed my side as my lung was not fully recovered yet, without me knowing I must of pressed the call bell again, and the same young nurse appeared.

"Yes sir,"

"croakily I apologised, "I'm sorry I pressed the call bell by accident." She turned off the call bell.

"ok, well if your alright I'll be heading back to the nurses station."

"erm, how do you make a call here, "

"there's a payphone at the end of the hall"

"But I cant walk right now?"

"mmmm there is the payphone trolley. would you like that brought to you?"

I nodded my head, "Yes please."

"Ok, I'll be right back."

The nurse left, again I searched in the draw and found a few dollars laying there, and some lose change. I know I had nothing on me other than a sheet when I was admitted, so reasoned it would have been left by either Rich or my mom. whatever and whoever I was grateful.

The nurse entered with the payphone trolley, "Here you are, press your call bell when your through and I'll come get it." she smiled as she left.

I picked up the receiver, I dialled Matt first... "yep, hello.."

"Matt its Jon"

"Shit bro, mom told me what's happened, I'm coming over in the morning to see you.. you ok?"

"yeah, well kinda, pretty beat up, listen Matt, can you do something for me/"

"Sure, anything?"

"great, can you arrange for some security to sit at my room door, Antonia called in earlier again... I'm so not safe right now bro..."

"What the fuck?, do the hospital know..."

I winced at the question, "erm not exactly..."

"well they either do or don't, which is it?"

"Don't...."

"well why the hell not, how can they monitor your safety if you don't tell um?"

"Look I'm not arguing Matt, I need help, you gonna help or not?"

"Alright, alright already, I'll help, but you need to tell them what's happened Jon, it's not fair that you don't."

"yeah, first thing.. I promise..."

"no, now Jon, I cant sort things till tomorrow, what if she comes back tonight?"

"Matt, please, its pretty degrading you know..."

"Oh right so you'd rather be dead than a few minutes of blushes, get real Jon..."

I had never heard my baby bro speak so candid before, I was shocked, but also proud... what he said resonated with me, his direct approach worked.

"ok, the minute I'm through talking I'll tell them..."

"Good, well rest easy bro and i'll see ya on the flip side ok?"

"Ok, night "

"Mm night."

we both hung up the call, as I pressed the call bell for the third time. The same pretty nurse arrived.

"all done?"

I nodded, "listen, I have a very delicate issue that I need to discuss, who is best to speak with."

"I'm a good listener, you can tell me..."

 Taking as big a breath as I could, I started, "ok, here goes"

"I guess you like the rest of the world has heard about the issue I have regarding a fan/stalker right?"

the nurse nodded, "Its pretty much on the news twenty four seven..."

"well, I'm here in hospital because she and her goons did this too me, she wants me to have sex with her, and because I refused, it's pretty much pissed her off...anyway, the thing is... she called into see me earlier tonight..." I paused to catch my breath, the nurse placed her hand on mine, a soft look of understanding in her eye's, "its ok, take your time..." "thing is.... I'm scared she will come back, I, don't feel safe..."

"that's not a problem, we have hospital security, I'll get him to safe guard your room tonight. will that help?"

relief washed over me, "Yes, yes that would be great....can you make sure that no one enters without finding out who they are first, with no exceptions..." "I cant see that being a problem, but, if its a Doctor or one of us, Miley knows us, so it will just be your visitors ok?"

I nodded, "yeah that's fine..."

getting up she took the payphone trolley and made to the door way. "I'll make the arrangements now for you."

"thank you... sorry I don't know your name?" "Madison.."

"thank you Madison."

she smiled at me, "Your welcome... I'll be back shortly..."
