Help me - A Twilight Fanfiction

... Carlisle pov ...

I was just sat in my office on my lunch break when I heard my pager start to beep. I look down. The room 2043 flashed up. I sigh and stand up. It's been a busy morning it would be nice to have a little break but never mind.

My office isn't far from room 2043 so I was there within 3 minutes. I step into the room and look at the patient. Olive fisher. I sigh, knowing she isn't here just to visit and I am worried for what has happened.

I pick up her chart from the end of her bed and read it. The paper claims she has bruises on her ribs, arms, face and eyes as well as deep uncleaned cuts on her left arm. "Hi olive nice to see you again. Wish it was because of better circumstances. You had a fall in school due to you fainting. May I ask how much you have been eating today." I ask her politely. When I said the last part I heard her gasp.
"I had an apple at lunch and lots of water." She is lying I can tell.  

I looked her in the 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. And I have had snacks in between." She sounded uncertain but like it was more the truth so I just decided to move on from the subject and come back to it later.

"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." She nod and once again follows me to the weighing room, the same one as last time.

As she did last time, she stepped on the scale. I could hear her suck in her breathe but don't say anything because I don't want to blow our cover. As the pointer reached the number I gasped. 5 on the dot. I had gone down. Shit. A small smile appears on her face but drops and I see horror in her eyes.

I look at her with guilt filling my eyes. "Olive..." I says quietly.

She doesn't reply instead looks at her feet. "When can I go?" She asks quietly.
"Your guardian will have to come collect you. And I have one more thing." She nods.

"Yes?" She was fiddling with the cast I wrapped her arm in earlier.
"Did you do that yourself?" She nod and look down ashamed. I reach over and lift her chin up with my fingers. She flinches but I try to ignore it. "Why?" She didn't know what to say. She opened her mouth then closed it again.

I look at her and meet her gaze  "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?"  As soon as she nodded I was out the room already on the phone to the police with safeguarding on the line at the front desk.

Once the police arrived I started talking to them. Explaining the situation. That's when I heard the door swing and bash on a wall. Followed by whisper screaming. I look at the officers "follow me. We should make sure she is safe frist" they nod and I begin to speed walk to her room. The door had shut itself again.

He slapped her. But this time we all heard it. It was only I hear her gasp in pain and suck in her breath so she didn't cry. We exchanged a glance before barging into the room. I went straight to olives bedside whilst the four police officer's wrestled him to the ground. Before handcuffing and dragging him away.

"I will find you and kill you, you fat bitch." That was the last thing the evil son of a bitch will ever say to her. I look at her and ask if she wants a hug. She nods, and as soon as I embrace her she breaks she falls apart in my arms crying her eyes out. I was going to ask about the self harm again but I figured now isn't the best time or place.

After she has calmed down she looks up at me. I stand and place her on the bed.

"Help me" were the only words that came out my mouth. I mutter something under my breath, not even sure if she will hear it, "Of course." I says to her. Then i turn and leave.

I have no clue what to do now, wait it out I guess. I will have to talk to child protective services again, but that's for the best. I decide to call Esme.
"Hey hun." She says to me.
"Hey just letting you know I'm not going to be home tonight, olive fainted them something happened but I can't explain over the phone, I love you, tell the kids." I hear gasp.
"Of course I hope she is okay. Can I come visit tomorrow and bring some clothes or books or a film."

I smile to myself, "of course. I'm sure she will be more than please. But she seems like more of a music girl. So maybe bring that old Walkman. It's in my office." She laughs to herself.
"Okay I will see you soon Hun." I nod even though she can't see before hearing the tone noting the call has ended.
