Everything's gonna be alright (English)✅

Chapter 13

"Where's-... What's her name?"

If he then looks at me questioningly, he means my mother's name...

"Jana Müller..."

"Well...let me check..."

She clicks around a few times in her computer, she looks and from time to time slightly confused. Apparently she doesn't understand how much pressure we are right now...

"Yeah, I found it...room 237, at the second floor..."

"Thank ya'"

Marshall and I run off, he grabs me by the arm and calls it quickly after the secretary...

"Where is it?"

"I don't know...we're at the third floor I guess..."

"Where's the stairs...look out for the stairs..."

He looks pretty tense...I honestly have to say that I don't want to go to my mother at the moment, what if my father follows me and then hits us again? I don't really want to expect Marshall...he can't do anything for my family circumstances...

Then we run past a door with the inscription: "Stairs" and I stop abruptly.

"Marshal, look!"

He looks at me and then looks at the door. He hastily runs down the steps, through the dark staircase, he almost seems as if he is running for his life...

Once at the bottom, he pushes the door open and continues to run. I have to say, I'm a little flattered that he's doing this especially for me? Or is he just afraid of my father, who may be behind us... With our eyes, we search every single door for the number 237...and there, there it is!

"This one!"

Marshall points to it and we stop. I look at him completely out of breath...deep into his eyes...

"I think you should go in alone..."

Does he then mean, well, what would my mother say if she suddenly saw Marshall... she hardly knows him...

"Yeah, I guess..."

"I'll wait..."

I smile at him and slowly push down the doorknob of the room.

I enter carefully, there I see her. Mom...she lies in bed and looks up to a person, unfortunately this person is not a doctor or a nurse, but my father... He quickly looks at the door and sees my face. Then he comes up to me, pulls me into the room on my hood and slaps me in the face...

"Stop," I scream, in vain, he kicks me to the ground and hits me with his fist. Something wet runs down my forehead, it's blood, my father hit me bloody, once again...I'm trying to turn out of this situation somehow, because it hurts like hell...

"Martin! Stop it!"

My mother screams with all her strength in between. My father pulls me up by the collar, knocks another one into me and then pushes me away, I rest my hands on my knees and cough, I cough blood...

Then, when I found myself again, I look at my father angry and then immediately run out of the room, I slam the door behind me and am looked at with a frightened look from Marshall... he comes up to me, puts his hand on my shoulder and then asks:

"What happened?"

"My- my father..."

"Ah shit...let's go...that doesn't look good..."

"And it doesn't feel like it..."

"Come on..."

I stumble forward, can just hold myself upright, but then fall directly into Marshall's arms...he catches me and holds me tight...

"Woah Girl...slow down... I'll carry you home..."

"You really don't have to..."

"But I want to..."

He smiles at me, then takes me as best he can piggyback and we leave the hospital.

"You better stay with me tonight..."

"Oh, but..."

"No, you will..."

He then says and I let my head sink on his shoulders...on this shoulder is not only my head, no, his shoulder is full of blood, with my blood...

I wrapped my arms around his neck and try not to make myself extra heavy than I am... at this moment I really realize that I probably like him more than I thought, no, that I don't like him, but that I really fell in love with him to some extent... shit, I really fell in love with him...
