Help me - A Twilight Fanfiction

15 - hospital - again

At first the white walls were harsh on my eyes. I didn't know how long I had been asleep for but I knew my french had baby blue walls not white. I could also hear light muttering, almost like the background noise in a film or TV programme.

Slowly I open my eyes to notice I am in a weird fabricy paper robe thing. It barely fits with the size of my boney body. A hospital gown maybe. Shit a hospital gown indeed. Kevin would be so mad.

I start stressing out my mind racing. Last night was bad, very bad and I don't know how much more I can take. Suddenly I realise my left arm has been wrapped in a bandage and dressed in a cast. I know they knew about the self harm.

Suddenly there is a knock at my door. And then the door opens with a creek. In steps the man I was dreading to see. Well not Kevin, Carlisle. Kevin is a walking, talking nightmare. Dreading Cullen isn't as bad I don't think.

"Hi olive nice to see you again. Wish it was because of better circumstances. You had a fall just outside of school due to you fainting. May I ask how much you have been eating today."
Shit, okay, right, think olive think.
"I had an apple at lunch and lots of water." I lied. But my voice was shaky and I can't lie to help shit so I knew he didn't believe me.

He looked at me with those eyes and raised an eyebrow. "Fine it's been a few days since I had a full meal but it's fine I wasn't hungry." Lie again, more like a few weeks. But this time he looked like he believed me.

"I would like to weigh you again. I know it's only been three days but I want to know if you have stayed the same weight." I nod and once again follow him to the small room with the large scale in the corner.

As I did last time, I sucked in some air and stepped on the scale. As the pointer reached the number I gasped. 5 on the dot. I had gone down. Shit. I mean it's good for me but leaves me in a bad place.

Dr. Cullen looks at me with guilt in his eyes. "Olive..." He says quietly.

I felt kind of guilty because he was only trying to help but saying it would get me in trouble with Kevin. And Kevin in trouble with the police.

We walk back to my hospital room where I live back in my lumpy bed.

"Also we noticed some bruises on your ribs and abdomen also on your arm. Can I take a look?" She slowly picks up her top to show various blue, purple and green bruises. "So I need to ask you a serious question okay??" I nod not trusting my voice. "Are you being abused at home?"
"N-no" I stumble on the words. "I got in a fight. With a girl outside of school. T-the other day." he looks at me.
"Are you sure because if something is happening we can help you" I think about the option maybe I should tell him. But I decide against it.
"No I swear everything is fine. Promise" he looks at me in disbelief but nods. Phew that was close.

"I have to ask you one thing." I nod.
"Yes?" I ask fiddling with the cast.
"Did you do that yourself?" He motions to my arm which is in the cast. I drop in. I nod and look down ashamed. He lifts my chin up with his fingers. I flinch from the contact but also because his hands are like ice. "Why?" I didnt know what to say. Should I just come clean??

He looks me in the eye "I'll ask you one more time so we can be safe. Is someone at home abusing you because you don't seem like the type to fight?" I don't know what I was doing till it was to late. And as soon as I nodded Dr. Cullen was out the room.

Shit what had I done now.

After what felt like eternity but it was actually like 10 minutes Kevin came barging into my hospital room. I flinch from the sound of the door swinging open and hitting the wall. "What the fuck did you do." He shouts at me. But under his breath so no one else hears. He walks towards me now he is centimetres away from my ear. "What the fuck did you do you little bitch." Shit shit.
He slaps me across the face. I grab my cheek in pain. He raises his hand to slap me again.

But suddenly Dr. Cullen barges in with the police behind him. Kevin spins around quickly. Four police officer's grab him and wrestle him to the ground before handcuffing him and dragging him away. "I will find you and kill you you fat bitch." That was the last thing I heard him shout and I knew it was aimed at me.

Dr. Cullen looks over at me. "Do you want a hug" yes yes I do I really do. "Yes" I say in the quietest voice every, I swear no one could possibly be able to hear it, but nevertheless he embraces me. And I loose it. I break down in his icy, stone cold arms balling my eyes out. And he just holds me. I will forever be grateful for him in this very moment.

After I have calmed down I look up from his embrace. He stands and places me on the bed.

"Help me" were the only words that came out my mouth. I heard him mutter something under his breath. "Of course." He says to me. Then he turns and leaves. I rest my head and end up falling asleep, waking up to the sun shining through the window directly onto my face.
