Chapter 17

Sara’s POV

I opened my eyes to see the night sky through the window. I sat up, stretched and got out of bed. I started to make my way towards the door when I felt myself ram my toe into a desk.I held in a scream and held my foot. After a minute I started to walk towards the door again while holding in a scream. I eventually placed my hand on the doorknob and went out of my room. I hopped down the hall to the stairs and grabbed the railing. After landing on the first step I tripped, let out the scream and fell down the stairs.

“Somebody help me before I die!” I yell and before I reached the bottom I felt someone catch me. I looked up and winced to see Mitch. I looked into the living room to see everyone dirty and passed out in weird positions on the floor.

“Thanks…what happened?” I asked and looked at Mitch.

“They passed out after they finished cleaning the kitchen. Are you ok?” He asked. I honestly felt like puking and my leg was hurting like hell.

“Honestly no…I can’t feel most of my body…and I can’t feel most of my right leg. Mitch can you take me to the hospital please I think my legs broken.” I said and looked at my leg. My eyes widened.

“What the hell happened to my leg! It looks like a bendy straw ! Why does it look like that!? Why am I not screaming and crying in massive pain and why haven’t you taken me to the hospital yet!? Hurry Mitch before I pass out! I think I can see the bone poking out of my leg!” He then ran, trying as hard as he could to be gentle, and placed me in the back of the car once we got outside.

“MY. LEG. LOOKS. SO. FUCKED. UP!!! HOW IN THE HELL DID THE FREAKING STAIRS DO THIS TO MY LEG!? WHY AREN’T THOSE STAIRS CARPETED! WHY AM I NOT CRYING HYSTERICALLY!?” I yelled at the top of my lungs. I then looked at my hand and screamed.

“MY HAND IS JUST FLOPPING EVERYWHERE! HOW AM I NOT FEELING THIS EITHER!? HOW IN THE HELL AM I NOT CRYING!? I NEED A DOCTOR! WHY AM I JUST FLAILING MY GOOD ARM! WHY AM I SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS AND MURDERING YOUR EARS!?” I screamed. I started to have a panic attack and we got to the hospital a little bit later. I had calmed down slightly, I was just looking at my wrist and my leg while screaming quietly as Mitch ran inside. A few minutes later I saw a few people run out with a stretcher. They placed me on it and we rushed inside as I started to have another panic attack.

“How did this happen?” A nurse asked Mitch.

“She fell down the stairs.” Mitch said and everyone gave him a look like they didn’t believe.

“Can you stop judging him for what you think he did and just help me please!?” I yelled.

I woke up in a hospital room to see Mitch sitting next to me. He smiled when I looked at him.

“Morning Sara.” He said with a tired tone.

“Hey Mitch…what’s wrong? You sound tired.” I said and put my hand on his cheek.

“The nurses kept giving me dirty looks. I heard them say that I probably pushed you down the stairs and hurt you intentionally.” He said and I laughed slightly.

“Don’t worry…I know that you didn’t do it so calm down.” I smile at him and he holds my hand. I then look at my left hand to see it in a cast. I then take my hand away from Mitch and lift the covers to see some of my leg in a cast. I look at Mitch and I hear someone walk in. I look towards the door to see a doctor walking towards the bed with a clipboard.

“Good morning Ms.Gregg,” He then glared at Mitch slightly, “would you like to explain what actually happened?”

“I got up from a nap, stubbed my toe, tried to hop down the stairs like an idiot then fell down the stairs till Mitch caught me.” I said and the doctor wrote something down.

“Mitch…would you kindly step out of the room for a minute?” He asked and Mitch looked at me. He then got up, left and after the door closed the doctor sat down.

“Now Sara you can tell me the truth. Your boyfriend isn’t here so you can tell me.” He said with worry in his eyes.

“I already told you the truth. Mitch isn’t that type of guy.” I said and he sighed.

“Listen…we both know that you’re in denial. Has he ever hurt you? Please…I want to help.” He said and placed his hand on mine.

“I am not in denial you crazy person! Just because I said I fell down the stairs and I came in with just my boyfriend doesn’t mean that he pushed me down the stairs. I just stubbed my toe and, like an idiot, tried to go down the stairs! Why is this so hard to understand?” I asked and he sighed.

“Looks like you’re still trying to defend him. You’re able to go home tomorrow and in the mean time your boyfriend is not aloud in here for your safety. Have a good day Ms.Gregg.” He said and stood up. He rushed out, spoke to a few male nurses and they dragged Mitch out as he tried to walk back in. An annoyed look crossed my face and I sighed.

“What…the hell…is going on…”
