Left Behind

Chapter 2:

*Trigger Warning*

All I hear is the constant sounds of *Beep, beep, beep* at a steady pace. Looking at an empty room I question why I am here. I lift my arm up seeing if the blood was still there or if I was just dreaming. I feel some sort of bandage on my head. I start to freak out, constantly shouting I hear nothing but 'beeping' noises. I attempt to stand and get very light headed as someone says, "Woah easy there." I feel a tight grip on my shoulders as the person sits me back onto the bed. "W-why am I here.?"

The male looks at me with sad eyes and looks at the ground. "Where's my dad?" I snap. "Let me go get the doctor." "No! Where is my father?" I ripped my I.V. out and tried to stand up again and start throwing words at the guy feeling something sharp go in me, as I fall back onto the bed I feel my head bang on something hard.

"Sam! Open your door!" I try yelling to Sam but all I hear is music blasting. I then go out of my way and open her door as I've never done before. I walk in to see blood on the floor going to the bathroom. "SAM!?" I hear the sink running and shove the door open breaking the lock, to see my baby on the floor pills spilled everywhere. I start yelling her name as I reach down to feel her cold body. I rushed to grab a phone and called an ambulance. As I hear sirens I see cuts all over Sam's arms and legs as well as burns. I pick her up in my arms and carry her down the stairs crying my eyes out.

"Sam?" I hear a familiar voice question as I open my eyes to see bright lights. Fuck am I alive? Please say no, I couldn't handle seeing my father right now. I check to see and I look at him as he pulls me into the largest hug ever. "I thought I lost my baby, oh god." I don't say a word as I adjust my head so I'm facing the wall. I have nothing to say right now. I know it wasn't his fault but I can't handle this right now I just wanted to be in a blissful sleep; forever.

Opening my eyes for what seems like the thousandth time I see two people towering over me. A man and a woman. "Good you're awake." The male says. "H-how long have I been here?" I barely stifle the words out of my mouth. The female looks at the male doctor and he nods his head as gesturing go ahead, as she looks at me she says, "about 7 weeks now." My mouth drops. "S-seven weeks?!" My raspy voice squeaks. "Why am I in here in the first place? Where is my dad?" The male cuts me off and says, "those are the last things you need to worry about right now, right now you need to worry about getting better and not passing out on us again." He stopped and the female said, "Sam you barely made it, you should be thankful you're even alive right now." I gave her a disgusted look. "Why the hell should I be thankful?" She shot a look at me and said, "you're alive!" I just shrugged and asked one more time, "where is my dad? I'm not going to ask again and I want an answer now. All I want is to see my father." I demand and the male nurse sits down and I can see his tag and it said, 'Dr.Parks'. He grabbed my hand and looked at me with devastating eyes. "Do you really want to know? I am advised to tell you if you think you are stable enough to know the whole truth." I give him a puzzled look starting to get worried. I nod my head very fast giving myself a migraine as well as my head starting to throb. "Okay, Sam now this isn't easy for me too say...." I was about to snap and tell him to tell me now but I decided to let him finish.

After hearing what I just heard I just wanted to collapse. I'm starting to remember some of that night though. I was at a Coffee shop in Manchester and I got a call from the hospital and they had told me my father had had a heart attack, instantly killing him. I got in the car while it was pouring down rain that night. The doctor told me I had got hit on the right side of the car causing my head to bang on my side of the door giving me a concussion and later putting me in a coma for a month.

He said if it would had hit the drivers side I would have died. By the looks of it now I want to be dead. I have no one. My mother is dead, my f-father is now dead... My grandparents are in nursing homes. I think the only family I have lives in Australia or the U.S. My aunt lives in Australia she's my mums sister. My brother lives in the U.S. He was deployed I guess when I was born and just moved their and I've never met him I guess. I've never met my aunt before either knowing I live in Manchester, England, my aunt living in Sydney, Australia, Noah living in San Diego, California. All live in other continents sadly.

*3 weeks later*

"I can take care of myself!" I state as the doctor shakes his head. "I'm sorry Sam but it's the law you're only 17, you either get put in a foster home till you're 18 or find some family to stay with." I look down at the ground. I don't want to be put into a foster home with some stranger and I especially don't want to go to Australia to live with a stranger. Although, she might be able to tell me some stuff about my mum. No I don't even have her phone number.

"I'm not being put into a foster home!" I yell. "Do you have any family? Like grandparents, or aunts and uncles?" The doctor questions. "All my grandparents are either dead or in a nursing home and the only aunt I know of lives all the way in Australia." Knowing my brother doesn't even know who I am so I won't mention his name. The nurse sighed and said, "well we need to figure something out, you're being discharged tomorrow." I can't believe I've been here for two months now. Gosh! I can't even believe this happened.

I know that once this all settles into my mind I'm going to go crazy. "I don't even know my aunts number! Plus I don't even know her!" I yell in frustration. "We have your aunts number it's in the emergency call list. If you don't want to go there then sorry but I'll have to look for a foster home." I feel tears forming in my eyes realizing either way I'm stuck with a stranger. So the question is should I leave my hometown to go start a new life? Or do I stay here and live with complete strangers? I guess if I did leave I wouldn't be missing out on anything. I have no one here except my friend Hope. We barely talk anymore though, so it doesn't matter either way.

I've only heard several stories about my aunt. I think her name is Skyler. She was my mum's younger sister. She can't be any younger than 18 according to what my dad says. I can't believe they'd let me stay with her. Why can't I be on my own? Ugh! "What if she doesn't want me there?" I ask in a sad tone. "She does she said she'd love for you to come stay with her, she said she could use the company." "Y-you talked to her?" I don't even know how to feel. Could she tell me about my mum? I hope. "Yes because we had to figure something out, but she said if you wanted to stay in your hometown she would understand." "C-could I maybe t-talk to her?" I sigh. "Yes one second let me get the number." He leaves the room leaving me in confusion.
