Its me against the world

Hospitals

Chapter 6

Charlotte’s POV

I was woken up abruptly by somebody shaking me. Hard. Once I started waking up I sat up to notice I was still at the beach and realising I must have fallen asleep. “Aw thank god you’re alive. I didn’t know if you had been beaten to death because by the look of your face you had taken quiet a beating so I came rushing over to check on you and yeah I dunno sorry for waking you up like that.” I heard a deep voice let out in a hurry.  

I looked up to see the most attractive looking guy I have ever seen, he had the brightest electric blue eyes I had ever seen and dimples on each cheek. He had a blonde sandy colour in his hair and cute soft curls that covered his whole head. He also had big biceps and abs that were dying to rip out of the tight black shirt he was wearing. He honestly looked like a god.  

Focusing back on what he had said I tried to figure out what to say. “Oh ah I’m sorry I didn’t mean to worry you. I’m sorry.” I quietly let out slowly putting my head down in embarrassment. “Hey,” he let out in a gentle tone putting his finger on my chin lifting my face back up. “there is nothing to be sorry about, you can’t help what happened to you, and whoever did this to you deserves to have his ass kicked because it is no way to treat a pretty lady like yourself!” his voice had started off calm but as he continued to speak it sounded like he was getting angry.

I quickly tried to stand up to start heading home but my head started spinning and I felt as though I was about to pass out. I tried to slowly move but my dam legs just wouldn’t take me anywhere and suddenly just decided to give on me. But before I could fall to the soft grainy ground I was engulfed in someone’s arms. Before I could protest to who was holding onto me blackness started taking over my body and I was gone.

Jason’s POV

I quickly caught the girl before she fell to the ground, she looked so tired as if she hadn’t slept in days, and the cuts and bruises on her face made her look even worse but she was still beautiful, with or without the cuts.

I quickly scooped her up into my arms and carried her bridal style up to my car. As I was walking up to my car I couldn’t help but think about how incredibly light she is it doesn’t even feel like I’m holding anything.

Continuing up the sand to my car I finally found it parked over by the outdoor shower and hurried over to it. I gently placed her into the passenger’s side and ran around to my side and got in. Taking off I made my way as fast as I could to the local hospital. It had been a 20 minute drive here and she still hadn’t woken up and I was beginning to worry.

Jumping out of the car I ran over to the passenger side and gently scooped her up into my arms and ran in towards the hospital doors.  

“NURSE, NURSE” I yelled as I ran in through the hospital and over to the counter. “What can I do you for young man?” the lady behind the counter let out trying to sound seductive. God I hated when girls did that. Tried to sound sexy when they flirted. It is such a turn off. Shaking away my thoughts I remembered why I was here. Looking at the name badge on the woman’s shirt I began to walk “Well Ashley, I found this young girl when I was at the beach she was either asleep or passed out when I found her, I’m not sure but when she got up she went really pale and then collapsed. She has been passed out for about 20 minutes now. So umm, can you please help?”  I knew I probably spoken to the her way too fast but I needed to get her to hurry up and get a doctor.

Once she had processed what I had said she finally called a doctor and 3 all came rushing in at once and quickly took the girl away from me.

Looking through the girls wallet while I waited I finally found out her name. Charlotte. That’s such a pretty name. I like it. I was going over different things in my mind letting my imagination run wild when I was interrupted from my thoughts by a doctor.

“Sir, are you related to the young woman that you brought in earlier?” the doctor asked me in a serious tone. I thought, trying to remember the name I had seen on the drivers licence. Charlotte. That’s it. “Yes sir I am, I’m Charlotte’s ah step-brother” I let out hoping the doctor wouldn’t realise I was lying. “Okay, well you may want to sit down while I tell you this.” He softly let out.

I could feel the colour draining from my face as I realised that this was serious and that charlotte was in a lot of trouble. I couldn’t help but feel sorry for the poor girl. I honestly don’t know why I’m so worried seen as I don’t even know her, but something about her just makes me want to care for her and look after her.

“I don’t know if you know what has happened to your sister, but she has been badly beaten and by the looks of it, it has happened a few times. In all honesty you’re lucky you found her when you did because she could be dead right now.” He paused letting out a deep breath. “At the moment Charlotte is in ICU in a coma due to swelling on her brain. We don’t know exactly how long she will remain in a coma but hopefully she will make process and eventually wake up. We will have staff watching her closely to see if there are any changes or complications in the next 24 hours. Now do you have any questions?” processing what the doctor just said I slowly shook my head letting him know that I didn’t have any questions for him. “Okay good. Well I suggest you head home and get some rest and you can come back tomorrow and see her” he told me as he stood up and walked away.

Walking down the steps of the hospital to the car park I kept thinking about what I should do. Should I come back here tomorrow to make sure she is doing okay and has somebody by her side helping to look after her or just turn away and never think about what happened and put it behind me? Hmm.
