Pretty Little Get Away

Chapter 6

I open my eyes to a big white hospital room. The pounding in my head is gone and Aria and Mike walk in.

"Sophie! What happened?," Mike asks before kissing me on the lips.

        I look to Aria for help but she gives me a look that says she hadn't told him yet. I look at him and say "When we where at the mall some crazy boys where running and pushed me over. I hit my head and blacked out," I lie. I don't want to lie to Mike. But I didn't want him to freak out about what A did.

        He looks to Aria to support my story and she nods. Then there's a loud crash as the door swings open revealing my dad. He holds a desert eagle and points it at Mike.

        I scream 'no' at the top of my lungs but before I can stop him, he pulls the trigger.

===============================

        My eyes fly open and I jump to a sitting position on my hospital bed.

        "Sophie! Sophie, it's okay your safe! Your safe!," says Emily.

"He was here! He shot Mike! He killed him!," I almost scream.

"Sophie no one came in here except me Hanna, Aria, and Spencer. Your safe okay?," Emily asks.

        Before I can answer a woman in a white doctor coat comes rushing in. "What is going on in here? I came to check on you," the woman says looking at me. "and I heard screaming!"

        "It's okay. Sophie just had a bad dream," Emily confirms.

        Sophie? Why would she- Oh. My dad. He's still looking for me.

        The woman let's out a sigh and comes over the my bed. She helps me lie back down trying to keep my head from hurting but I still let out a grown when I try to scoot up in the bed sending a fresh wave of pain.

        The woman gives me a sympathetic look and says, "I'm doctor Vita. You hit your head pretty hard didn't you?"

        I nod but wince. I'm as awake as I was in the car, and that wasn't very much.

"Dr. Vita, I'm ganna go out in the hall I need to call my friends," Emily says. "Will you be okay?" She says looking at me.

        I give her a thumbs up, not wanting to make my head hurt more than it is. Then I turn back to Dr. Vita.

        "Okay. I'm just ganna ask you a few simple questions okay Sophie?" I nod slightly and wait for the questions.

"Do you remember how old you are?"

"Twelve."

"Do you remember what happened?"

"I fell... And hit my head on the ground."

"Do you remember your friends names?"

"Spencer... Aria... Hanna... And Emily."

        So far it's taken me about five seconds before I answered the questions.

"Last question. What's your full name?"

Before I could think I said, "Claire Grace."

"I thought it was Sophie Montgomery?"

"It... it is... I was thinking of an old friend," I lie.

        Before I could say anymore, Hanna, Aria and everyone else walked in. Dr. Vita got up and walked over to them. She whispered something I couldn't hear and then Spencer and Aria both said, something at the same time I couldn't make out.

"I'm ganna have to call her father. I'm sorry, but I could lose my job over something like that," Dr Vita said, and left the room.

        The girl's walked over to me and sat at the end of the bed.

"She's calling your dad," Hanna says.

"She also said you have a concussion... but it's just mild," says Spencer.

"No, she can't... she can't call my dad. He'll kill me."

"Maybe we can sneak you out?" Hanna says. "I mean, it can't be that hard can it?"

"Maybe, but... I don't know," says Aria. 

         That's when I notice Emily's gone. Then I see her walk in with a wheelchair. She says, "Lets do it. But after Dr Vita leaves the room when she comes back." The girl's all nod and I say I'm ganna take a nap. I fall asleep in about a second.

=================================

"Ezra," I hear someone say. "Can you wake her up. We have like five minutes to get out of here."

        I open my eyes to someone lightly shaking me. I see a man who must be Erza telling me to get up. I listen and try to sit up but all I get is a bigger headache. He helps me up and I see I'm still wearing the same black t-shirt and shorts that I wore to my dad's house. I put my arm around his neck like he told me. Once we're over by the wheelchair I sit down and let go of him. Emily hands me a hat and sunglasses. Then we start to leave.

        Somehow once we get out of the room I fall asleep.

==============================================

I wake up, probably in the same car that took me to the hospital except this time, it's not dark and instead of Spencer on the car floor it's Aria.

        I find my self laying down again and try to get to where I'm sitting up but Aria stops me. She makes me lay back down and says, "You need to lay down and rest. You have a concussion. So you need to rest for at least what? Two weeks?"

"Yeah, that's what Dr Vita said," answers Hanna.

        I give Aria that 'I hate you but I guess your right' look and ask "Where's Ezra?"

"He went to- " Aria started but stopped because the car started to swerve off the road.

"Spencer! What's going on?," Aria yelled.

"I don't know! My foot wasn't even pressing the gas pedal."

"What the -"

BOOM! We hit a tree.

        Somehow I get up not adding to the pounding in my head. I get Aria up off the ground and am about to ask a question when I see two hooded figures. On both sides of the car. They jam something into the car doors and I hear Emily saying they won't open. Then I see one of the figures break open the windshield and another one break the trunk window.

        Everyone, including me start to scream. The people, who one I'm sure is A through something into the car in both directions. I don't think and start to climb out the back trying to get the others to do the same.

        Once I'm out I get to my feet and look around. I don't see A anywhere. Then someone puts me in a head lock. I see one of the hooded figures in front of me. I see them pull out a white rag and place it carefully in there hand. I can tell they want to take there time.

        I look over at the car to find all the girls are alive but past out. I turn back to see the figure coming closer so I fight harder to get free. Before the rag goes over my mouth and nose I say to the figure, "You can mess with me, but you do anything to the girls and you die." The figure just puts the rag over my face to where I can't breath. Then before I know it, the world fads to darkness.
