Chapter 15 // Frightened Eighteen Year Old... (angst)

⚠️ Abuse warning ⚠️ PLEASE SKIP IF uncomfortable OR IF IT TRIGGERS ANYTHING!!!

(Lucas POV)

I wake up in a bed with eyes lingering all over. I scrunch my eyes confused. I look around as I slowly wake up and notice I'm in a hospital bed. Hospital? Wtf!. I look back at the window people in front of me confused. My vision was blurry so I rub my eyes to get a better view and instantly notice who it was. It was Max and her family standing there looking at me worried. I notice a police officer standing next to them dotting notes down. I was still confused on how I ended up here.

I was snapped out of my thoughts until I hear a soft mellow voice speak up.

"Lucas..." Max says softly. I look at her standing there with her arms crossed.

"Hmm" i hum in response.

"What happened?" I ask stretching my arms out. I suddenly feel a sharp pain in my shoulder. I let out a grunt. Then it hits me.

Fuck...

Flashback

I walk into the house and see my parents arguing again. I roll my eyes as I try to walk past them and upstairs to ignore any confrontation until I feel someone grab me and pick me up slamming me to the floor. I groan loudly as I land on my recently injured arm. I could scream how much the pain is right now but then it would give him more power over me so I just let him to continue to hurt me. I feel kicks to my head body arm legs as I see my vision blurring. I hear a faint scream from my mum as she jumps on his back to try and defend me. He finally gets of me and now focuses on my mum. I would try and help my mum but I feel light headed. I don't know why but I felt like going to the one person house where I feel safe. Max's house.

I take the window of opportunity to escape as I run out the door limping in so much pain. I feel tears blur my visions as I get closer and closer to her house. I continue crying as I felt like a disappointment. I should've stayed and protected my mum but I instead I ran like a bitch.

It takes me roughly 10 minutes to make it to her house but I somehow did it. I'm honestly surprised but the only thing on mind right now is getting help and saving my mum. I see her house as I run to the door limping still. I knock on the door quickly. I takes a few knocks until I hear the door open. I look and see Max her brothers and I'm guessing her parents. I feel my heart rate go up. I try and speak but the words weren't coming out. All I could hear was my heartbeat and my head burning. I feel my eyes slowly closing as I fall forward...

Back to present time

My eyes widen as I look at Max.

"Max where's my mum?" I say trying to get up. I feel a hand push me back down. I look up and see Mike.

"We don't know Lucas but you have to stay calm" He says. I shake my head furiously. "No you don't understand where is my fucking mum" I yell feeling tears well up. I feel my heart slowly breaking. Me and my mum don't have the greatest relationship right now but I've always been a mommas boy when I was younger. I feel my heart rate speeding up. Now all the voices around me were faint like I was underwater. It felt like I could breathe.

"I—I c-c-can't b-b-breat-e" I say raspily.

I feel a soft hand squeeze mine as I see Max close to my face sitting on the seat next to me.

"Hey..hey focus on me your ok. Your in the hospital with me. It's me and you..." She reassures me cupping my face. I feel my heart slowly slowing down. She rubs my back and I rest my head on her shoulder.
