Read Between the Lines

"Perry?" Paul asked softly.
"Paul!" She screamed. "You're awake! Finally! It's been four days!"
He laughed a little.
"I was so worried." She said softly.
"I was worried about you!" Paul exclaimed.
He sat up, wincing, and Perry hugged him.
"Perry, some officers want to talk to you." Martin stuck his head in the door. "Paul, you're awake!"
"I'll be right back." Perry promised, walking out the door.
She stepped out into the hallway.
"Who was it?" She demanded.
Perry was aggarvated. No one would tell her who the bitch was! Not even the police.
"Alicia Barnes. Do you know her?" A big officer asked.
Perry gasped. Alicia. The Alicia who had taunter her her whole life. The Alicia who's arm she broke. She tried to kill her? And Paul?!
"I know her." Perry whispered.

"How are you feeling?" Martin asked Paul.
"Like shit." Paul groaned. "Did you talk to Perry?"
"No, she hasn't left your side." Martin told his friend.
"I don't like it. You're to old for her, Martin." Paul said.
Martin rolled his eyes.
"Don't roll your-"
"It was Alicia." Perry said, interrupting him.
"That chick from the mall?" Martin asked, shocked.
Perry nodded.
"Well damn." Martin shook his head. "I wanna ask you something."
Paul shook his head, glaring at Martin.
"We're going to dinner tonight." Martin said.
"Ok?" Perry said questioningly.
"Martin, go get Brian and John." Paul demanded.
He left the room.
"Promise me you won't do anything you'll regret." Paul said.
Perry sat down at the edge of his bed. "What are you talking about?"
Paul just shook his head.
