A Second Chance

"i hope they had it"

"Papa? Like, your father?" The kind, blonde nurse asked me.

I nodded through tears. Then, it hit me.

"My notebook! Where's my notebook? I have to find it!" I stood up and ran out the room.

The hallway was crowded with people in rolling beds being escorted to different rooms. Some people asked me what I was doing but I just ignored them and looked for the exit. I needed to find my notebook. Maybe those boys Ashton, Luke, Calum, and Michael, had it. I hoped they did. I hoped I didn't leave it on the floor somewhere.

"Hey!" I heard the blonde nurse calling me.

I ran for the exit, dodging people in the lobby. A security officer stopped me in my tracks. He grabbed me tightly but I tried to get away from him. It reminded me of Papa- how he'd grab my arm like I was an animal and throw me in my room. How he'd lock me in for the entire night and not let me out until he felt like it.

I couldn't keep from crying while the officer had me in his grasp. I just stopped fighting and fell to the floor. I couldn't move, everything shook and spun. Nuclear wars started in my stomach. Nurses surrounded me and dragged me on a hospital bed. I didn't fight back. I just wished I had my notebook with me.
