"Okay I'm going to get her a room, because her hand needs surgery and I just don't trust her being anywhere else but with us right now." Michael told me quietly, running his fingers through his hair before standing fully, leaving to go get everything in order for her.
She soon opened the door, telling me she was dressed and letting me join her.
"Feel a little better?" I asked her, seeing her nod slowly.
"Does Ashton have Ben?" She asked me quietly.
"I haven't talked to him, but I'm sure they're here if you want to go find them-" "I don't want to right now" she mumbled, making me nod.
"Whatever you want to do, everything is up to you." I told her firmly.
"I do just want to tell you that we are getting you a room here for the next few nights, your hand is pretty concerning to us and we just want to make sure you're a hundred percent okay before we discharge you." I told her, making her nod just as my phone rang.
"It's ashton" I told her directly before answering it
"Hey man" I spoke, hearing him speak immediately
"Hey, I just finished up some stitches on Ben. The police tried to talk to him but he is denying all accusations of any of his injuries being from his dad. The police want to speak to Briley whenever she's ready." He told me.
"Okay. Michael is getting her a room right now, I'll find them once we have her settled."
We hung up shortly after, making her look to me.
"The police just want your statement" I explained quietly.
"Are they going to arrest him tonight-" "absolutely. I'm sure they're looking for him right now." I told her, making her nod.
"Calum?" She spoke after a moment of us both letting the room sink to quietness.
"Yes, love" I spoke back to her, seeing her never look to me.
"Am I going to be okay?" I heard her voice crack, making me instantly move closer to her.
"Of course, Briley, you are safe." I told her.
"I'm just- I never imagined making it away from my dad, alive." She cried to me.
"And now I feel like I'm away, but there's still so much I'm worried about and I feel like I'm panicking, but I trust you- so I need you to tell me that I'm going to be okay."
I hugged her tightly.
"I promise you, I will not leave you for a second and I will make absolute sure that you stay one hundred percent okay."
"Thank you"
Michael got us shortly after, taking us to her room, which she walked around in cautiously, looking around.
"Okay so get comfy, I'm not going to hook you up to any machines but I will likely check your vitals every few hours" michael told her as she watched me sit in a chair beside the bed, trying my best to just make her comfortable.
Michael left us momentarily to go do rounds on his patients, I watched her continue to stand in the middle of the room, glancing around.
"Come sit beside me." I told her.
She slowly joined me, sitting in the chair beside my own, going silent.
"Do you want to talk?" I asked her
"Honestly, I want to get the police talk over with so that I never have to talk about any of this again"
