Changing Course ( a Brallie/Foster Fanfiction)

Chapter 13: Hospital

I wake up to the sound of the heart rate monitor beeping near my ears. At first, I am a little bit confused as my eyes are immediately blinded by the heavenly light. As my eyes adjust, I find my hospital room completely empty. The chairs next to me are also empty yet the pillows are thrown off of It ,as someone was sitting there. I try to sit myself up with my arms but I immediately wince in pain. Then in a flash I remember all the had happened, all in vivid detail like I was reliving it. I remember the pain and the torment from anything but I can't wrap my head around it and feel nothing. I look into the right corner and see a door 3/4s open. Barley, I see the hospital hallway which is empty except for a few nurses escorting patients. I stay in the bed for a while and don't make a sound, trying to understand what I feel.

"Oh my gosh", someone says in a whisper.

I turn my head and see Luke come from the door. Immediately, I tried to move and sit up. As a result, a giant pain rushed through my body and didn't really move. My heart starts pounding faster and faster as he gets closer to me. My breath also starts to become shallow and shorten.

"Oh my gosh! Baby! Oh my gosh look at you! You look terrible!", Luke started telling me while caressing my cheek. "This shouldn't of happened. I'm so sorry this happened to you. You just have to stop making mistakes "

I looked at him with fear in my eyes as I remember what he's capable of. My fault? Why Is it my fault? I start to think. What do I say as to what happened? Interrupting me from my thoughts was a nurse with a police officer.
"Sir,please back away. You are not permitted to be in this room.",The officer remarks in a harsh tone.

"I understand", Luke replies,surprisingly calm.
He then turns to me on his way out "listen I love you", he tells me.

"Okay um if you don't mind, Officer Dehald would like to ask you a few questions",the nurse says to me with a smile.
I nod at them not wanting to use my hoarse voice.

"So, Callie, what happened last night?"

Crap. What am I suppose to say? Half of me wanted to escape Luke's torment and abuse. I remember and think about how he hurt me calling me all those names. My body starts to ache as I remember every single hit,punch,kick, and even burn that he threw at me. Yet, another half of me is terrified. I love him. I really do and I can stand leaving him. Although I was still scared to death.I knew what he was capable of and if this didn't turn out right.... I can't even imagine what he'll do to me.
