Hold On

chapter 2

I woke up to the sound of beeping, when I opened my eyes they were blinded by the white light. Once my vision adjusted to the lighting, I realized that I was in a hospital, my eyes scanned the room and within a minute a nurse came in with a big smile. 

"How are you sweetie?", she asked as she grabbed my  chart and  read over it.

"F-fine. I'm fine."

"Good, now it seems that you  don't have any direct family we can  call so we're just going to wait until you get better and unfortunately send you back into the system. Maybe a group home but we shall see, okay?"

I nodded and once she left I took out the IV then proceeded to grab my clothes, I peaked my head out the door and started walking towards the other rooms looking for Beatrice. My gut told me  to go into the child's ward, and  thankfully the first room I checked she was  there asleep. I walked up to her slowly  and kissed her head,"I'll come  back. Wait for me bee".

I kissed her one more time, then quickly exited the hospital before the staff hunted me down and went back to the house. I slipped in through the window and went up to the attic and looked for my keys. After finding them, I walked to the gym and unlocked the garage that's next to it to retrieve my motorcycle. I grabbed my phone and texted michael.

A: Hey mikey

M: What's up love?

A: Text me the  address of  the apartment I asked you to get for me

M: Everything okay?

A: yeah, just need to put my plan in action. I need to get the apartment ready for my kid.

M: did you reach your goal already? I figured you needed more money before taking the kid out

A: something happened so I need you to find a fight with the biggest cash prize.

M: you got it.

M: Here's the address; xx street,New orleans xxxx

A: Thanks.

I hopped on my motorcycle and drove towards the apartment. Over the years I've given Michael money from my winnings so that he could get an apartment for me and bee. My plan was to wait until I turned 18 to get her out of there but plans don't always end the way we want them to so now it's time to speed things up. Once I arrived at the apartment, I took out the extra set of keys that are always in my bag and opened the door. The apartment was already furnished and Michael decided to take care of bee's room, which surprised me because he still cares for her even though they haven't met. The second my foot stepped into the room, my whole body cringed from how pink the room was.

Looks like I'm going to have to paint it lapis blue.

I look around and make sure everything is safe and there is no foul play, once I'm done I throw myself onto the couch and allow myself a couple minutes of rest.

Beatrice's POV

The sound of footsteps walking towards me made my heart sink, I pretended to be asleep and did my best to keep my heartbeat steady. "She's been asleep too long, is there something you're not telling me!" The person's voice was deep and the sound made me flinch but fortunately they were long gone, I opened my eyes and looked around trying to find Ali. My arm gave out a sharp pain and I looked down to see there was an IV inside my arm. I wanted to go look for Ali but I was too scared to pull it out and before I could make my mind up a nurse walked in. "w-where...is..s-she", I can usually talk fine with Ali but new people make me nervous and I end up stuttering. The nurse looked up surprised to see that I was awake, she rushed over to me and checked my vitals but before her hand touched my skin I flinched away. "W-w-where... is... s-s-she", I hesitantly looked up at the nurse who was glaring at me. "Please keep still, I need to check your vitals. So please be quiet and let me do my job". She tried grabbing my arm once more but I pulled away but before I could speak up someone else came into the room.
