I'M FALLING FOR MY SO-CALLED BROTHER!!!

Chapter: Three Soothing Words

I woke up with an enormous head ache. I rubbed my eyes suddenly it hit me. I was at the hospital. I looked around to find myself alone. The doctor walked in. He was tall and scrawny. 

"Hey there Elena, how are you feeling, I'm doctor Ronald." he said with a friendly smile. 

"I feel okay," I said sounding hoarsely.

"Well your mom and dad are working but your mom will be here in a few minutes to pick you up" Dr.Ronald said. 

"Okay," I said quietly. 

"Your mom was really worried about, she told me that your dad said it was maybe food poising, is that true?," he asked concerned. 

"Yeah, I probably ate something bad," I said reassuring. I was confused, didn't my mom see the letter I left? Maybe she didn't see it or maybe my dad hid it before my Mom was able to see it.  

"Elena, I have another question for you," he said with his brows furrowed.

"Yeah," I said a little nervously.

"Why, do you have cuts and bruises on your legs and arms?" he said. I didn't  know what to say if I told the truth my Dad would hurt my mom, or worse he might even KILL HER. I came up with a lie that would probably make him stop asking anymore questions about my cuts and bruises.

" Well I was ridding my bike around the neighborhood and some dogs came chasing after me and I accidentally  hit a rock and then I fell," I said biting the side of me cheek from being too nervous. That is one of the habits I do when I'm nervous or uncomfortable ever since I was little. I tried stopping them but you know old habits die hard well that's what I heard.

"Oh, well you should probably be more careful," he replied.

Before he could ask anything else, my mom came to pick me up.

"Hi, sweetie how are you feeling?," my moms voice sounded so soothing and kind to me right now.

"Hey Mom, I feel a lot better now that you're here," I replied with a wide grin.

"That's great sweetie, come on lets go home so we can talk about what happened, okay?," my mom sounded o tender. I almost forgot how nice she was, I'm glad she came, I actually feel like she cares about me.

Are ride home was short. When we got home I was walked up the stairs with my mom by my side.  we went to my room to talk. I sat on my bed wondering what my mom would ask me. 

  " So explain to me what happened today?" she asked with concern all over her face. I could feel my stomach tangling with so much nervousness. I had to lie to her too otherwise she would get hurt. I started biting my nails another annoying habit. 

" Mom, I thought Dad explained to you what happened ?" I asked. 

" Your father said that it was probably food poisoning from school but he wasn't sure cause he was running some errands," she answered.

"Yeah, it was the food today was not so good," I lied.

"Are you sure?, she asked.

"Yeah, Mom I'm sure," I replied with a small smile.

"Okay, well get some rest sweetie, tomorrow we will go shopping you know, mother daughter time," she said with a warming smile.

"Okay Mom can't wait but don't you have to work tomorrow?" I asked puzzled.

"Yes but I'm coming home early from work," she said joyfully.

"Oh really Mom, that's great," I said surprised but ecstasy.

"Yup now get some rest, goodnight sweetie," she said then gently kissed my forehead.

"Goodnight Mom", I replied.

I quickly fell asleep when she left. I was exhausted with all that happened. I was happy that my mom would spend all day with me tomorrow well mostly all day. Maybe my life was turning around for the better and I won't be left alone with that disgusting father of mine.
