Love In The Dark | Jemi

Eight

Laurel made her way into Demi's room not long later having forgotten her bag. She gasped when she saw the teenage girl being crushed by her drawers. She screamed for help before rushing over able to lift the draws up just a little bit so it wasn't squashing Demi's airway as much. She wasn't conscious but she was thankful when she saw her chest rise up and down.

"Demi can you hear me?" Laurel questioned but got no response, she was sure she had assigned her to a room where everything was nailed to the wall so something like this didn't happen. It wasn't long until some male workers rushed in all helping to lift the drawers off Demi and to stand up straight again against the wall.

Dianna and Eddie rushed into the hospital after Laurel had called them to say what had happened. They had only left their daughter for ten minutes before something that had happened. They couldn't help but wonder whether it was the right place for their Demi to get some help if she had be harmed already and not by herself. They darted around the hospital until they found their way to the room which they were told Demi was in, there saw Laurel sitting on a chair outside reading a magazine as she waited for them.

"What happened to my daughter?" Eddie demanded to know as they made their way over, Laurel gave them a reassuring smile as she put her magazine down.

"Um the drawers had fallen on her, I think she knocked them over with it being a new room. She's awake and fine, she'll just ache for a couple of days and her chest might feel heavy." She explained Dianna having to hold Eddie back when he was about to say something again, she knew would be angry in the situation.

"Can we see her?" Dianna asked Laurel nodding her head gently, Dianna turned to her husband keeping hold of his hand. "Calm down alright, she'll know if your angry." Eddie took in some deep breaths before they entered the room. They saw Demi laid on the bed staring down at the sheets below her, she didn't look blind from a look but when she spoke to you she looked behind you and not at you. She had to figure out where the sound was coming from.

"Go away." Demi mumbled hearing someone enter the room figuring that it was someone from the treatment centre again. She didn't want to speak to them. She was in pain because of them, her chest was so heavy, it hurt to breath.

"Baby girl it's us." Eddie spoke his voice calm, he was still angry but Dianna was right. Demi would know if he's angry and he didn't want her to think that something was wrong. They still wanted her to get the help she needed.

"D-Dad." Demi stammered Dianna shushing as the parents made their way over Dianna kissing her head holding onto her hand.

"It's okay baby girl." Dianna assured her daughter Eddie taking her other hand so they she knew that both of them were there.

"I-It hurts." She chokes.

"I know it must do baby girl but if you cry it will hurt more so try and keep it in. You'll ache for a couple of days but your fine, you have nothing to worry about." Eddie answered kissing her head gently leaving his lips there longer than needed.

"Do I have to go back there?" She questioned calming down a little bit.

"I'm afraid so baby but you'll have a different room and they'll keep an extra eye on you now alright, something like this won't happen again." This treatment centre was the only one that was around the area otherwise they would have to drive her across states to another one then they couldn't visit her as much which might affect her recovery. They comforted the teenage girl as she cried form being in pain and scared about going back.
