I wake up, a couple that I assume is Otto and Eeka is sitting beside me.
"What day is it?" I ask
"Friday" Otto replies. He looks at his watch "4:55 pm to be precise"
Eeka giggles.
"How long have I been in hospital?" I ask
"From what I've been told it's 6 weeks" Eeka says.
"And I bought you some home work to do" Otto says
I groan.
"I'll let you wake up first love, we will do it tomorrow" Otto says.
A nurse and doctor come bustling in hearing the news that I have awoken.
They check me over.
"Her ribs still need time to heal" the doctor says.
"How long will it take" Eeka asks
"About a year to fully heal, but she'll be in a wheel chair for 6 months to 10 months depending" the doctor says.
I'm glad I'll be leaving the hospital on Sunday.
I look at my left arm, it's in a cast up to my armpit, I look at both my legs, both in a cast up to my thighs. I sigh.
Otto and Eeka put there arms around my shoulders to comfort me.
"We have to go dear, closing times over we'll see you tomorrow baring homework" Otto says.
Eeka kisses my head and says something in russian.
Then they leave.
I lie in my hospital bed bored to death wondering if the doctors know what really caused me to be in this state. I press the green button, a nurse walks in.
"Let me guess your bored" she says.
"Yep and hungry" I say causing her to chuckle.
"'Teas in half an hour, but I can wheel you down to the lounge to watch some TV" she says.
I nod and she takes me to the lounge where the news is on.
I see a mugshot of my mom and stepdad.
".... Mr and Mrs Curt abused Victim X for her whole life...." They continued on about it for what seems forever.
"Shocking case isn't it" an elderly lady said to me.
I nod. I decide to tell her victim X is.
" I'm victim x" I say.
She gasps, she's probably shocked.
"Is that how you got you injurys" she asks
I nod.
"Oh" is all she says.
I continue watching the TV until the nurse wheels me back to my room for dinner, which is sausages, mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables.
I eat the food because I have only had scraps and leftover food that is usually stale when I lived with mom and kelvin.
The food is so delicious, I wish I could have more.
Instead I decide to sleep.
