(Please re-read) Listning to torture

Natalie's pov.

I ran up to my bunk bed and pretended that I was sleeping, I could hear mrs. Willson walking away. with every step she took, the floor squeaked. She rudely opened our door, and blew her extremely loud whistle. "tris, Nina, Hanna, Natalie! Wake and start cleaning the bathrooms please"

"What time is it?" Hanna barely let escape her lips
"Why, do you have problem with getting up early?" Ms. Wilson said in a mean way

Ms. wilson was the most temperamental people of all of the workers and always had to be assigned to us...

"N-no, I was... Um, I just wanted to know what time it was so I could record how many times Nina has slept longer than me." I could see she felt bad for putting the blame on Nina. if we didn't play it cool then mrs. Wilson would purposely get us in trouble.

"Stop waisting time" Ms. Wilson slammed the door leaving our room, making Hanna go into complete shock that she didn't write her name down

"HANNA GRACE LEE!"
Nina was now swelling with anger
"I'm sorry, I swear, I really didn't want to, I just didn't want to get into trouble."
She crouched down on the floor to get some clothes out of under her bed.

"Nina just let let it go, she didn't write down your name or anything" I felt bad, shes always picking on her non stop.

Nina looked like she was going to rip both of our heads off. I couldn't run from her or anything so i just stood my ground and kept a good stare going, I knew what was coming.

I get punched in the face so hard i got knocked out.

------------
I started to open my eyes as I felt soreness throughout my body. there was a light I could almost not even see but was bright enough to drown everything out.

"Oh hello Natalie, you did a pretty big one this time. How did you manage to get this one?" The nurse looked a little bit like my mom

"I always tell you and u never listen. How do you not believe me?"

"I believe you, but no one else does. they don't see what goes on in those rooms. nether do I. But I know from experience that standing up someone who doesn't have a voice hurts, believe me"

I looked at her confused for a second and she lifted up her shirt mid stomach just enough for me to see a horizontal scar about 4 inches long.

I was speechless, she never told me this before. but... I couldn't stop. I have this uncontrollable bout of courage every time i see someone who needs help. I cant help it.

I felt a tear come out at the corner of my eye but quickly wiped it away.

"I know it's not easy to see things happen to innocent people but Sometimes people like us get hurt for being that kind of person. You need to control it or you'll end up like me"

She pulled her shirt back up so she could look at the scar herself. "I was 17...saw a girl who was walking home from school and there was a strange man behind her extremely close and then I realized that there was probably a weapon in his sweatshirt so i went over and called/talked to her like i knew her and then she went along with it and i asked if she wanted to walk to her house together she looked at the man and then nodded with a no... I went in for a hug so i whisper in her ear that i would help her, but just as soon as i got inches away he stabbed me and dragged her running away. The next day she was on the news, murdered. I was laying on the sidewalk for about half an hour before someone found me and i was close to dying that day."

When she was done, I couldn't stop staring at her and wondering why she Hadn't told me this earlier.
The bell for lunch was rung so i got up, hugged her and left.
no one has ever helped me more. I just hope kayla is ok.
