[ON HOLD] 12 year old Wren Foster was born in London but when she was 3 her parents died, and having no other living family to take care of her she was sent to live in a foster home in New York. 9 years later she was still in the system and had give...
"so what's your name" I ask her "W-wren" she says back quietly "that's a pretty name, well I'm Elizabeth but you can call me Lizzie if you like" I say back to her trying not to come on to strong. I don't know why but I feel a reason to protect her like the type a mother would feel towards her child.
"O-ok Lizzie" I respond back to her, "so were you planning to stay here the night because I'm pretty sure people will we worried about you?" she asks. "I doubt they'll be worried but u-um yeah I guess I was planning to stay here the night, it's not really like I have anywhere else." "Well do you mind if I just sit here with you then?" she questions me, I just nod my head. I don't know how long we've been sitting here now but all of the sudden I feel really sleepy my vision because blurred and all the pain from before that I had forgotten about comes rushing back the everything goes black.
I open my eyes I didn't know where I was but I knew for sure I was definitely no longer at central park. I looked around I assumed I was in a hospital room I had never been to a hospital before unless being born counts but I saw equipment and heard a heart monitor and this is what hospitals looked like in movies. I saw all different types of things I saw that there was a curtain shut to make it look more like a room then just a bunch of beds in a room, and I saw all different other types of equipment I noticed my arm was in a bandage thing and I had this odd tube coming out of my nose I saw this bag of water I think, that had a tube attached that was in my arm then I look to my left and saw an asleep lady, Lizzie I think that's what she said that her name was. I spotted a TV remote and decided to watch some TV but I turned the volume down trying not to wake Lizzie, there was only 4 channels but that was luxury to me considering I wasn't ever allowed to watch the TV at the foster home and it still only was only a hospital.
It had been a few hours I think but I had watched a lot of Friends episodes I definitely had to have watched at least 6 episodes but there was this one really funny episode that I had even watched twice, even one of the nurses came and watched it with me, but it's just so funny Ross just keeps shouting "PIVOT!". after I had finished that episode for the second time and the nurse tells me I should get some rest because apparently it was already 5 am. I try to fall asleep but it's really hard considering every time I move just a muscle I feel a wave of pain, the nurse notices she tells me it's because I had a very broken arm and a few fractured ribs. Which to be honest I didn't even notice I had a splint which is what I think she had called it, that had apparently been on my arm for I guess awhile, which I had assumed they must have done it when I was unconscious. She told me that I could choose a colour for it, when they give me a proper cast later in the day, she also told me that I was brought here in an ambulance which I wished that I had of been awake when it happened because that would have been epic to hear the sirens and see the flashing lights while going really fast, I wouldn't have even cared that I was pain I mean it's nothing I haven't felt before. The nurse leaves the room to let me get some sleep in while I can, of course after giving me some much need medication to help the pain, I was trying to fall asleep when I just realised I didn't even know her name yet, I feel so bad I should have asked, I started to feel a little sleepy but not asleep yet so I start thinking about things to help me fall asleep I think about what colours I could have my cast as, to be honest I wouldn't mind keeping it just white but it would most likely get really dirty so maybe not. I start to feel my eyelids getting really heavy and eventually I then close my eyes and fall asleep.
I open my eyes and see I'm back in my bed at the Crawford's house I hear footsteps I know it's Mrs Crawford I quickly rush and hide under the bed hoping she doesn't see me then I feel a tight grip on my arm and I get dragged out from my hiding spot and see Mrs Crawford she start hitting me and screaming at me for hiding from her, and yelling at me, saying things along the line of "NO WONDER YOUR PARENTS DIED IF YOU WERE MY CHILD I WOULD TOO", and also "YOUR A BRAT YOU WILL NEVER, EVER, EVER BE ADOPTED NO ONE WILL EVER WANT YOU". I put my hand over my ears because it's to loud I feel my breathing getting faster, I feel my eyes get watery I keep blinking because I was told crying makes you weak I try fighting my tears so hard which only makes it worse and that's when the tears start falling down my face "DON'T CRY YOU WEAK GIRL WHAT ARE YOU THREE!" I shake my head and she slaps me across the face "USE YOUR WORDS BRAT!" she screams at me "n-no no" I start muttering trying so hard to block out what she's saying. She keeps screaming at me to the point where I can't take it any more "n-no, no, NO, NO, NO, NO, NOOOOO AHHHHHHHHHHHH" I start screaming to block out the noise, I then jolt up realising it was just a nightmare which I was so used to and sick of them at this point. I can't fall asleep, no let me rephrase that I won't fall asleep it's like the nightmare's are waiting for me like the minute I fall asleep all the horror and fear and memories will just all come rushing back to me, I try fighting falling asleep for as long as I can before I just giving in knowing there's no point because I'm just stalling and eventually will lose since you can't stall forever.
Lizzie's POV
I slowly open my eyes realising I fell asleep, I feel so annoyed and disappointed with myself for falling asleep like I was supposed to watch Wren. I look over to my right where Wren was I see her peacefully asleep but the outside of her eyes look red and puffy and there are tear stains all down her face which makes me feel even worse for falling asleep. I reach over to the table and grab my phone and see it's 7:15 am "SHIT" I think I'm suppose to be at set in 15 minutes I look over to see Wren sleeping and just know I can't leave her knowing they will take her back to where she lives which I know she doesn't want to go back to considering she was running from there. I quickly see a 3 messages from the group chat and 2 missed calls from Scarlett and she was asking where I was I quickly message the Russo's apologising and stating that I can't go to work today then I message the Group chat

Oh thank god she's alive!
I look over at Wren shes still sleeping I decide to read and learn my lines again since I'm not going to actually be at work today. I've been reading my lines and once every few minutes I look over and check on Wren again feeling guilty, but the nurse has come in a few times to check on her. Its about 8:30 am when I see Wren start stirring and she slowly opens her eyes.
Wrens POV
I wake up and slowly open my eyes thank god I didn't have another nightmare I'm just hoping Lizzie didn't notice. "Hey" she says to me sweetly, "Hi, sorry did I wake you earlier?" I ask her, "No it's fine you didn't wake me up but you know I would be perfectly ok with it if you did", "sorry" I say to her, "hey stop apologising you did nothing wrong you hear me", I nod slowly then the nurse comes in and tells me that they're going to give me the proper cast now. We wait until the other nurse comes in to do the cast, he comes in and introduces himself then he starts wrapping my arms with I think a wet bandage or plaster it's weird though, then he wraps its all around my arm a few time then he says "so you know what colour would you like?", "u-um I don't know maybe just white?" I respond, "what? white?, no you get to have a coloured cast you got pick a good colour" Lizzie then says making me giggle a bit, " um what colours are there?" I ask, he then pulls out 6 squares with different colours on them pink, purple, green, red, dark blue and light blue, "u-um light blue" I say, it takes about half an hour then he finishes, and tells Lizzie to finish some forms so then we can leave the hospital.

While Lizzie is signing the papers to leave a million thoughts start going rushing my head "is she just gonna drop me back of at the foster home because if so then I'm more than happy to stay here at the hospital or I'll just go back to the tree, or maybe I can live at zoo considering the older kids call me a pussy which at first I was confused thinking they were calling me a cat, yeah no definitely doesn't mean a cat". She starts walking towards me and offers her hand "come on we can leave now", slowly I take her hand and we start walking out of the hospital.
