The Broken Girl

Old Scars Need Stitching

I'm on the Nurses bed staring at a sleeping cutie. Austin, he gave me roses today (I've stayed in the Nurses office for 3 days now) I cried a little cause no one has even bought me a flower before. It amazes me and it makes me feel really special, I've been staring at Austin for 5 minutes and I have now just realised that I barely know him, I only know that he has a passion for music and that's basically it, I mean it's been 1 day since me and Austin coupled up and I feel like I'm with a stranger. That I love. To be honest-as terrible as it sounds- I don't even know what I feel for Austin I mean I don't even know what love is! I haven't had any of that with ANYONE except my Mom! And I have totally forgot how that felt like cause it's been so long, I'll have to figure my feelings out pretty soon though. Austin moans a little and his beautiful eyes open, I smile "Hey Stranger" Now I mean that in a term of "I don't know you" but obviously he doesn't know that..oh god I feel terrible now, he smiles at me "Hey Beautiful..you're awake again" My eyes widen "W-What did you just call me?" Totally forgetting the other part he said. He chuckles "Beautiful...is it illegal?" I shake my head a little quick "No! No no, it's just I've never been called that before.." I say the last part in a whisper. He must've heard me cause his eyes widen and he sits up straight "Well people are so blind cause you clearly are!" He exclaims, I giggle "Oh Austin" I smile lovingly at him "Thank you" I whisper. He grabs my hand gently "Anything to be your one and only flashlight" I smile "When are you gonna get over that song?" I giggle when he shakes his head "Never, cause i am gonna remember that song brought us together to get through life. Side by side. Forever" I stare into his eyes as his words echo in my head "Austin, I don't know how I got you but I am so damn glad I did..you purposely made that rhyme didn't you?" I tell him, giggling a little as tears forming in my eyes, he chuckles "Yes, yes I have...oh Charlie, don't cry" he wipes my tears with his thumb "Everything is gonna be alright" He whispers to me 'I could only wish that Austin..I can't believe it. Not yet' I sigh and nod. He pecks my lips. A comfortable silence takes over us as I start thinking about what to say about getting to know Austin 'Hey, we barely know each-other and I was just-' I shake my head a little "That's stupid" I mutter quietly to myself 'Hey you wanna go on a date? Get to know each-other a little bit?' My eyes widen "A date!" I mutter "What?" I look at Austin "Umm.." 'Shit you idiot!' He looks at me confused, I shake my head "I'm just thinking" He nods "About what?" I look back at him and sigh "Life.." It was kinda true..I mean I am thinking about a chapter in my life right? My boyfriend chapter?...does that kinda thing exists? Oh how would I know! Well I don't care it exists to me! "Ah! I see..is everything..okay?" I blink and I look at him "Huh?" "In your life, is everything okay?" I stare at him. Silent 'It is...right?' I blink as a thought came to me "Well" I look around the room "I'm in the Nurses office, aren't i?" I chuckle, he looks at the floor "Y-Yeah.." I look at him a little confused with his actions at the moment "Are you okay?" He looks at me "Hm?" I giggle nervously a little "You're acting abit..weird at the moment" I cautiously point out, he shakes his head "Charlie. Do you remember what happened?" I blink "What?" He sighs "Do you know why you're in here?" I look at my hands on my lap, trying to remember anything that caused me to be here, after what felt like 2 hours I shake my head "No" I whisper, he sighs "Great" he mutters, I look at him "Do you know what happened?" He looks at me then back at the floor "Y-Yeah..I do" I lean my head forward "Tell me" He stays silent for a moment and the first thing he said nearly scared me to death "A lot of blood.." I shift uncomfortably "Blood?" He nods "Blood, lots of it" I nod "It's okay, I need to know what happened.." He takes both of my hands gently and looks into my eyes. He takes a deep shaky breath and continues "When Sally pulled your hair a bit I told you to ignore them..." I nod, I squeeze his hand gently "It's okay, continue" He looks away and carries on "It seemed..to piss off I-Izzy.. Cause she suddenly grabbed your head and...a-and.." I grab his face and I make him look into my eyes "Austin, it's okay..I need to know" I grab his hands again and he takes another shaky breath "She slammed your head against your desk..you fell to the floor then she got up..and did it again but against the side of your desk..I got up and I pushed Izzy which made her hit her head off a desk too...I..I.." I take a breath and I slowly let go of Austin's hand, I slowly reach for my forehead, I start pressing on my forehead for any bumps until I felt a horrible pain above my right eye "Ow!" I scream and I grip Austin's hand tight "Charlie! Jesus!" I take deep breaths to forget about the horrible pain but I only go a little dizzy "That fucking hurt!" I say through clenched teeth, I think back to the story that Austin was telling me and I start reaching for the back of my head, I carefully and gently start feeling my head until I feel my old scar in stitches. My eyes widen "O-Oh my god!..M-My old scar..!" I feel around my head some more and I feel another stitched part "A-And a new o-one?" I whisper, I look at Austin, scared out of my mind "Am I okay?" He shakes his head "Charlie.." Tears forms into his eyes "Y-You are not in the Nurses office..Charlie. You have been in a hospital...in a coma for 6 months.." My eyes widen and I faint.
