Everything is Bruce's POV
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As I wake up I see that I am in an ambulance, whats going on? I think to myself. Had I been found? I scrunch my eyes closed for a couple seconds to think, I'd been sure I was dead, but now I'm here? Am I even alive?
"Bruce?" I hear a voice from behind my back, I recognise it but I couldn't quite place a finger on it, I suppose my memory had become fuzzy after being stuck in that house for five months. I try to roll over to the other side to try put a face to the voice I heard but I get a sharp pain in my abdomen, must've been a stab wound, though my attempt of moving definitely made this person know for sure that I was in fact awake.
"Bruce!!" The voice shouts as he rushes around the other side of the stretcher that I was lying on, the persons arms embracing me into a hug causing me too flinch, I still don't know who this person is and I am beginning to become anxious, especially that I can't move because of my injuries so I was stuck here with this mystery person and no memory of how I got here.
Finally the person lets go and faces me, "Dad?" As I say this I realise it really is him and I smile, my dad smiles back and nods, "Am I alive?" I ask, I know this seems like a stupid question but I genuinely wasn't quite sure if I was or not. My dad rests his hand on mine, "Yeah, you are. And you're safe now, okay? Nobody is going to hurt you anymore."
My eyes well up with tears, I'm not sure if they are happy tears or sad tears or whatever but I couldn't stop them from causing me to start sobbing. My dad helps me sit up and I fall into his arms, crying into his shoulder. "Hey, you're okay. It's okay." My dad whispers as he rubs my back to comfort me. I haven't seen my dad in so long this almost doesn't feel real. I cry in his shoulder for a around ten more minutes, just letting out all my emotions that I've been holding in for the past few months.
I sniff as I stop crying, wiping my cheeks with my hands. It suddenly strikes my mind that I have no idea how I am here right now. How I'm not currently dying in The Grabbers dusty basement, "How I am here? How did the police find me?" I ask, looking over into my dads deep brown eyes. "A boy who got kidnapped around three months after you did, he killed him. He killed The Grabber." My dad explains, "Who was it? Is he okay now?" I add to my questions, "He is okay, injured, but he is okay. His name is Finney Blake, hes in your grade." My dad continues.
"Finney Blake? I know him, he was a friend from baseball. Wow, I knew he had an amazing arm but just..Wow." I reply, "You know him?" Dad says, appalled, "I know everyone in my year Dad." I respond, slightly making fun of my dad.
The ambulance abruptly comes to a stop, they had reached the hospital, as the door opens two nurses walk up the ramp and grab onto the bars along the side of the stretcher, "Mr. Yamada, follow us please." One of the nurses say as they begin to pull me down the ramp and out of the ambulance. Dad nods and follows closely behind them.
As I get pulled through the hospital the bright lights above me burn my eyes, I haven't seen anything bright in so long that it feels unnatural at this point. "We're going to put you in a shared room with another of the victims from Albert Shaw, or what you would probably say 'The Grabber'." The nurse too my right side says, "Who?" I ask,
"Vance Hopper." She replies. Shit. Why Vance of all people. Me and him had been friends our whole lives up until we were 10, I had just joined the baseball team and I had made so many popular friends from it, I had officially made it in life, I had became popular. Unfortunately when I asked if Vance could join our friend group they disrespectfully declined and went on too call him names such as 'Freak', 'Monster' or even as bad as 'Fag'. I had to make a choice, popularity or my bestfriend and stupid selfish 10 year old me choose to be popular. Vance still hates me for that and I'm sure he will enjoy having to share a room with me even less than I will.
