When Life Strikes

Chapter 9- Awakening

'CLEAR!!!' 

'CLEAR!!!'

'Come on Ava, this is down to you now we cant help you no longer.' The voice was heavenly, the sign of hope was among all of the doctors and specialists.

The botched up body of the newly beaten Ava jolted with a lot of force it was like seeing a bear toss up his bate. The gasp of the young girl was a  miracle. By rights, that night should have been the girls last. The paramedic who brought her to safety stood beside her bad clenching her hand for a sense of security. 'You're safe now. I promise.' This was all the girl wanted to hear all of her life. Those three little words. 'Hello Ava, do you want us to call anybody to let them know that you're safe and to tell them that you're here?' A singular tear streamed down her left cheek. After wiping it away he replied, 'I don't have anybody to tell.' The shock horror of the paramedic made her come almost to tears. How was the girl surviving without the basic love requirements?

A few days past in hospital with the same boring routine for Ava. She would wake up; have her blood pressure check up, her eyes and ears looked at; she would then take a shower and get back into bed and watch TV. First Jeremy Kyle and then she flicked trough channels. It came to the end of the end of her necessary hospital experience. 'Where will you go Ava?' asked the paramedic. 'It's okay i know somewhere, have you got a phone?' Replied Ava. She dialed an unknown number, 0151 424 7534. 'Hello, this is Laura from Crona Mental Health Hospital, how may I be of help?' Ava subtlety relied, 'Hello, my name is Ava-Grace i would like to take up residence here, i believe i am of harm to both myself and others.'

The look of total horror was on the face of the paramedic, she didn't know what to do or think. 'You can stay with me if you like Ava, you don't have to do this!' Ava humbly replied, 'Thank you for the offer but it's in my best interest to have one hundred percent security.' 

The doctor discharged Ava from the hospital, the paramedic couldn't let the girl go alone. She offered Ava a lift. Both doors of the Audi A4 opened as both of the women entered the car. The drive to Crona took 10 minutes. The time was agonizing for the paramedic, trying to get Ava to change her mind about her residency at the hospital. Ava wasn't budging. She needed this. For herself mostly.

'Hey, I'm Ava-Grace.' Come through Ava ill show you to your room.' Off she went to her new home.
