Alice opened her eyes, confused. The first thing she did was check her arms and legs for bruises, or scars. Old habit. It happens when you have abusive parents. Theyd drug you, put you under so you wouldnt feel shit. Then theyd beat you and youd wake up in the morning wondering where in the hell you got those bruises. She let out a choked cry as soon as she looked down at herself. Arms and legs bandaged with blood stains. Stitches on her stomach and thighs. She rubbed her eyes and looked around.

A hospital.

"Kid.." She cried out softly.

A nurse came rushing in, and she ran to Alice's side. She checked her blood pressure, and heart rate and said a quick hello to alice.

"Why am i here.." Alice whispered.

The nurse glanced at her and then left the room. Alice sat up, confused and a bit dazed.

The nurse that had taken care of Alice, and watched her slowly walked into the room. Alice looked at her and the nurse took a deep breath.

"Hun..Im so surprised you woke up. Im so sorry"

"For what.." Alice's voice was a bit shaky.

"You flatlined" The nurse replied. Alice closed her eyes and took in the thought of being dead.

She had died.

"I came back.." Alice sighed. "Leave me alone .."

She was confused on what was happening and where everyone was and why she was in the hospital.

She didnt even know who she was or remember half of her past.

The flatline did something to her.

She was scared.

Scared she would go back to sleep , only to wake up more alive and disappointed then before.

She didn't even realize how much physical pain she was in.

Sad, scared, and abused.Where stories live. Discover now
