Save Me from Myself

Chapter 21

Cali's POV

I woke up with a slamming headache, and my whole body was burning with pain. "Holy fucking shit did someone set me on fire..." I said to myself.

"Watch your language. And no, but I think that would've hurt less." The nice nurse, Nurse Kathy, said.

I groaned, "Sorry. What happened?" I asked.

"Michael beat you up pretty bad." She answered. I started to remember what had happened, but I wish I hadn't. Not a good memory.

"Wow. Thanks for not sugar coating it.." I mumbled. She smiled a little.

"No problem."

"Have I had any visitors?" I asked.

She nodded, "Yes. 2 girls, Layla and Esmeralda, and a boy named Joey."

"What about a middle-aged woman and her daughter..?" I asked. I know it was stupid, but maybe my mom had gotten a call and came to see if I was okay.

"Nope. Were you expecting them?"

I sighed, "Nope. I was just hoping."

"SHE'S AWAKE!!!!!"

I was attacked by Layla and Joey. I winced in pain. "Ow ow ow pain. I love you guys but ow."

They immediately backed off, "Sorry babe. We missed you!" Layla said.

"You've been asleep for 3 days!" Joey groaned.

"Wait seriously?? 3 days?? You're kidding right? I've never slept for 3 days in a row. Hell, I can barely sleep through a night."

"Yeah yeah. Well get up and let's go eat breakfast!!!" Layla yelled. I sighed.

"Food. My favorite thing." I murmured.

"C'mon Mrs sassy pants. I want some mushy oatmeal ASAP" Joey answered. I laughed and the Nurse said that i could go.

When we got into the dining hall, everything was close to normal. Except, of course, i was in crutches because that douchebag had fractured my left leg. Not appreciated. Also, he had broken my arm so it was in a bulky cast. Yet again, Not appreciated.

We sat down, and they ate oatmeal and made fun of the cast. I would've done the same thing, i looked like Baymax from Big Hero 6.

"Wait. Where's Michael?" I asked.

Joey smiled, "that dick was moved to a permenant facility, thank god."

"God had nothing to do with it..." I mumbled. Joey and I agree on almost everything except religion.

"Yo. Don't hurt my poor gay, Christian heart." He answered, grinning at me.

I smiled, "Alright Joey. Just don't lecture me today, kay?"

"That's my job though!!!" He said, still grinning.

"Actually, its my turn to lecture you two idiots." Layla said, smiling at both of us. I'm so glad that her and Joey are friends again, but i really don't want her to lecture me.

"Oh of course. Continue, madam." Joey remarked. He's so weird today. I guess he was really shaken up.

"Okay good. May i first say that you two are extreme bitches for leaving me out of the beating session. I would've happily gone all psycho on that asshole, and killed him before you guys hurt yourselves. Also, You guys are so stupid??? What the hell were you guys thinking??? Do you guys know why he was in here????" She asked, and she kept on losing her breath. That girl spoke way too fast.

"Yeah, suicide attempt. Nothing special." I answered.

She sighed loudly and glared at me, "Hon, no. I'm guessing he told you that. He tried to kill his mom, and then pleaded mental illness in court. I don't think he was actually mental like us." I couldn't hide my shock when she said that.

"He tried to kill his mom?? Is she okay? Why would he lie?" I asked. I have to admit, I was kind of hurt. I hated being lied to.

"Um because he's an almost murderer?" Joey answered.

"And his mom is fine. Scarred, but fine. She'll live." Layla said.

"Lovely lecture Layla." Joey responded.

"Yes. Lovely. Now can I go to sleep again?" I asked. I was still exhausted after 3 days of sleep.

"You haven't eaten anything, and you're looking really skinny." Layla answered, passing me oatmeal. Not skinny enough... I pushed it back at her.

"Later. I'm tired." And with that I walked back to my room. I fell asleep almost immediately.

"Cali? Cali where are you?" I was in a dark cave and that sentence kept echoing through the walls.

"Addy? Is that you?" I asked

"Why did you leave me.. Now she's gonna kill me. You left me alone. With HER. Why would you do that?" The voice asked angrily.

"I'm sorry!But you'll be okay, it's been years and you're okay." I answered.

There was silence, and then I felt myself die inside. Addy approached me, and she had blood all over her little body. Not clothes were drenched, mostly near her stomach, in blood. I felt like puking.

Then she said, "Who said I was okay?"

I woke up shaking and dried tears all over my face. "Oh god..." I whispered. I screamed into my pillow and started sobbing uncontrollably. What if she wasn't okay? What if mom had hurt her?

"Stop thinking like that Cal. She's okay. She's fine. Just think positively Cali" I thought. I took a deep breath, and I closed my eyes again. Sadly, I couldn't fall asleep again very quickly.

God I wanted some more ice cream. It took a while, but eventually I stopped thinking about ice cream and fell asleep.
