Oblivious!

The Medical Wing

Skylar's POV

My eyes snap open and I start looking around. White is everywhere. The blinds are up so there is a lot of light in the room. The beds and sheets are white. Everything is. I finally finish looking around and see that Ryan is there staring wide eyed at me. He knows about my scars. I try not to make any reaction on my face as he tells me that he knows. At least he doesn't know about my arms. I try to sit up, but he just pushes me back down. I start struggling against his grip making him move his hands to my wrists, pinning them against my sides. 

"Skylar, you know I'm not going to hurt you or think differently about you, but you shouldn't have kept this from me." I know that he won't hurt me, but he will treat me differently. More carefully, like I could break at any time. My eyes start to water and I try to hold it back. I lower my head so that my red hair covers my face. 

"I was going to tell you eventually," I say, trying to keep my voice even but it betrays me by cracking at the end. The pressure on my wrists loosen but he doesn't let go all the way. I lift my head up, meeting his eyes. He lets go of my wrists and gathers me in a hug. Tears now start to stream down my face. "I guess you can tell them, but they can't tell anybody else." 

"Don't worry, they won't. I'll go and get them," He pulls away from the hug as he says this. I quickly wipe my tears, even though I know that it won't do anything. Kyle and Sam come in behind Ryan. I look at them quickly, then look down again. Ryan takes my hand and squeezes it. I start sitting up but Ryan shoots me a glance. I roll my eyes.

"It's better to show them." He just helps me up. He takes his other hand and lifts up my shirt. Kyle and Sam gasp, I just roll my eyes. Ryan lets my shirt fall and pushes me back down. I just keep my eyes on my hands, not really wanting to see their faces. Two more people sit down on my bed. Sam, Kyle and Ryan pull me into a hug. Slowly I hug them back. "When can I leave?" I mumble into their shirts. They all pull back with surprised looks on their faces. "What?" I ask. 

"Sky, you have a big concussion, a broken ankle, a sprained wrist, and a sprained ankle." Weird, I don't feel anything. I knew I had a concussion but I didn't think much about it. They all look like they're going to burst with anger. I just roll my eyes. I seem to be doing that a lot. 

"I'm HUNGRY!" I yell looking at the boys. 

"I'm not giving you any food until you tell us who did that to you!" Ryan says. I just smirk and turn to the other two boys. I give them my puppy dog face. Ryan couldn't resist it for the first two weeks, but then he became immune to it. I can tell they're going to crack. 

"If we get you food will you tell us who did it?" Sam asks.

"Ya!" Knowing that I won't. Ryan knows that I won't either. 

"If you don't then we get to take your mother's necklace," Ryan says. I look at him and this time it's his turn to smirk. 

"Fine," I mumble. I cross my arms and glare at the wall behind the boys. Sam heads out and then returns a couple minutes later with a plate of food. He sets it down on my lap. I slowly pick at the food. Barely eating half of it before I was full. I set the tray aside and see the boys looking at me expectantly. "Almyfoserhoms," I say fast and jumbled. 

"Again," Kyle says. I take a deep breathe and start again. 

"Allmyfosterhomes," I say more clearer just fast. 

"Slower," Ryan says quietly. I take another deep breathe. 

"All my foster homes!" This time I say it barely above a whisper, but they heard me. I grasp my locket in my hand and hold onto it with all of my might. Tears once again fill my eyes. I want them to go away. I glare at the bedsheet. Making up my mind I swing my legs over the bed and sit up. I slowly stand up and start walking towards the door. I turn around and see all three boys look at me and then each other. I start running even though I have no idea where I'm going. The sound of footsteps start gaining on me and I start running faster. I don't look where I'm going and run into to somebody. 

"Mrs. Madden, hide me!" She just looks confused, but I stay behind her as the boys round the corner. She finally gets it. 

"Boys what's going on here?" Mrs. Madden asks.

"She escaped the medical wing with broken bones!" Ryan rushes out. She turns to me.

"Is this true, Skylar?" I shake my head, not wanting to go back there. She gives me the look that says "I don't believe one thing that you just said."  

"Profesor, can we find out who her foster parents were by any chance?" Kyle asks. I cross my arms and glare at them. 

"Of course, follow me!" Ryan walks over to me and grabs my upper arm. Sam does the same but on the other side, and Kyle walks behind me just incase I manage to slip out of their grip. They start pulling me after Mrs. Madden. We head into an office and the boys make me sit in the chair. I huff and lean back in the chair as they stand around me. Mrs. Madden then comes back out with a big folder in her hands. She opens it on the desk and pulls out the list. "Why do you boys want to see this?"

Before I could protest, they pull me up and turn me around. Ryan lifts up my shirt to show her my back. I try to squirm out of their grip but their too strong. Mrs. Madden gasps as she sees the red marks that line my back. Finally Ryan puts my shirt back down. I go to sit down again, but he pulls me into him. I try to get out of his grip, but realize that I won't be able to. I calm down after a bit and lean into him. Wanting the comfort that I get with him. 

Mrs. Madden suddenly has two copies of the list. She hands one to Kyle and keeps the other for herself. "I expect you boys won't leave the school and do anything irrational. I will tell the headmaster and we will try to track down who did this to her," She points at me as she says it. "Skylar did all of them do this to you?" I slowly nod my head and close my eyes. I feel Ryan's body tense as I answered. "Would you be more comfortable if you slept in the boys room?" I nod my head again. I don't think I would be able to sleep if Ryan wasn't near me. "I'll move your stuff over. Thank you boys for showing me this, you're dismissed. Please take Skylar back up to the medical wing." I don't even care anymore. I just lean into Ryan as he walks me up the stairs and back into the medical wing. I crawl underneath the covers and lay my head down. Before I fall asleep, I grab Ryan's hand and hold onto it as if he would disappear once I fell asleep. And I did just that, I slept the day and night away.
