The Hidden Pain

15. PTSD

Alexander POV

Damn. Watching Bella laying on a hospital bed is something that I can't see.
Her body is placed there totally lifeless, her face is pale. There are many wires attached to her body. Constant ringing of machines. It's just too painful to watch my sorella like this.

I know somewhere we are at the fault. Mainly Xander but what can he do, he is suffering from anger issues, so its hard for him to control himself. I look toward my brothers Luca, Xavier and Ethan are sitting on the chairs they all are in their own world. While Leo is leaning on the wall beside me and Xander is pacing in the corridor.

My rail of thoughts had broken by the ringing of my phone. I took out my phone from my pocket and look at the caller's id. It shows grandfather's name.

Ciao nonno (hello grandfather) I said. "Ciao come state?" ( Hello how are you all doing ) he asked.
bene, e voi tutti? ( Good what about you all ) I said.

"Anche noi siamo tutti bravi. ti chiamo per dirti che arriveremo tutti tra un'ora e mezza per incontrare il nostro bambino" ( we all are also good. i call you to tell you that we all are arriving in one and half hour to meet our baby ) he said.
Oh..ohkay i said nervously. "cosa è successo, tutto bene? e non osare dire che non è niente" ( what happened all good ? and don't you dare to say it's nothing ) he said.

I let out a long and heavy sigh before speaking nonno è solo che Bella è in ospedale ( it is just bella is in the hospital ) i said. "Che cosa!! . cosa succede alla mia nipotina?" ( what!!. what happens to my baby granddaughter ) he said.

He never shows any emotion not even in front of us. But Bella she is something else. niente, nonno, è solo che non ha mangiato, non ha mangiato bene, quindi aveva le vertigini ( nothing grandpa it's just she hasn't eaten her food properly so she was feeling dizzy) i said.

"Sei sicuro?" ( you sure ) he asked. Si (yes) I replied. I really don't want to lie from him but right now i don't want any type of drama. I will myself tell him after few days. "Ok, allora arriviamo tra un'ora e mezza. allora incontreremo il nostro bambino". (okay then we are arriving in one and half hour. we will meet our baby then.) he said and hung up.

Till then the room's door opened in which Bella is treating and the doctor came outside.

"How is she ?"
"Can we see her?"
"Is she okay?"
"What happened to her?"

Came different voices of my brothers. "Boys please be silent and ask one by one" the doctor said. Her name is Mrs. Rose as written on her badge. "Mrs. Rose how is Bella?" Alessandro asked.

"She is fine, you can see her and....." she said and looked toward Alessandro. And what doc? I asked. "Um.. I.I guess the rest of the things you should ask from her..you know privacy" she said nervously. "Why? you are the doc you should tell us and we are her family" Leo said.

"Yes why did she pass out?" this time Luca asked. She once again look towards Alessandro and he nod his head in yes. "Ahm.. so Bella has PTSD, i guess something triggered her past memory that's why she had a panic attack and she passed out and not only this she had several anger issues which was in control from the past two years but they had also triggered, I have prescribed some medicines for her make sure she will take it time to time" she said and walked away. PTSD what has happened to her that it has left trauma.

We all move towards Bella's room. When suddenly some grab me from my arm and turn me around and slap me on my right cheek so hard, in reflexe I close my eyes. Fuck who has a death wish. I again opened my eyes to see a girl the same age as Bella. "What the hell you had done with Bella? why the fuck she is in a fucking hospital???" she said on top of her lungs. If the culprit was someone else till now I had shoved a bullet through their skull, but she is just a teenager. I stood towering over her, my eyes blazing with anger.
