What They Don't Know

Rushed To Hospital

I rubbed my eyes.
It was still night time. I pushed myself up and crossed my legs.
I really missed Carter. I hate to admit it but, I think I loved him. No, I can't think about that anymore. Fresh start.
I stood up. My legs were shaky but I managed to clamber over to my light switch.
As I flicked the light, I saw that I wasn't alone.
"Mr.Clover?" I stuttered.
"We Need To Talk"
Why was Mr.Clover in my bedroom? It made me think the worse and I began shaking.
"I Didn't Do Anything"
"Is That So?"
"I Promise. I Didn't."
He walked towards me. I felt helpless and afraid.
"Little Butterfly. You Said No More Misbehaving"
He breathed onto my neck.
"I Didn't Misbehave"
Mr.Clover stroked my hair. I knew that if I even tried to hurt him, i'd die.
"SomeOne Told Me That You And Carter Don't Talk"
"We Don't"
"That's Not Good Enough" He spat.
"Why Don't You Talk?"
"We Just Stopped" I cried.
"Liar!"
He whacked me onto the floor and stepped on my leg.
"Please" i begged.
"Oh You're In So Much Trouble"
He stomped onto my leg hard and caused me to cry out in pain.
"It's Only Going To Get Worse"
My head shot up.
It was just a bad dream.
My head hurt and I felt sick to my stomach. I reached over and switched on my lamp.
I heard my door slam shut and it made me jump.
I could hardly move. Why was my body so numb?
I tried to sit up but I couldn't. My body hurt so badly and I felt sweaty.
My voice cracked as I yelled.
"Someone! Please!"
Screaming out for help, Harold busted open my door.
He turned on the light and ran across to my bed.
"Riley. Oh God Riley What's Wrong Kid?"
My voice was small, no more words came from my mouth. Only silent cries.
My arms were now completely unmovable.
"Oh Crap. You're Okay Kid. You're Okay"
Harold should of always kept watch on my room. I guess tonight he didn't.
He held my hand and looked at me. I could see he felt helpless.
"Riley You're Going To Be Fine"
He began pushing on my stomach which made me squirm.
Dawn scattered into my room in only her night gown.
"Riley Come On. God, Get Up"
I couldn't.
"Riles Please Be Okay"
She was crying. Why was everyone so tense?
I looked down at my stomach.
Gasping in shock I threw my head back again.
I had a gash across my whole stomach. It was bleeding a lot.
"Butterfly! No Oh God"
Mr.Clover ran in and pushed Harold.
"Get A Doctor!"
He screamed. Dawn ran out yelping for a doctor.
Everyone in my hall was now awake.
I tried to speak again, but Mr.Clover covered my mouth.
"Shhh"
He began crying.
A man in a lab coat rushed in. My vision was blurring.
"Riley"
Squeezing my eyes open and I looked over to my side.
"Riley?"
It was Carter.
"Why Are-"
"No Shh It's Okay. You're Okay. Oh You're Okay"
He began crying.
"I'm So Sorry. I'm So So Sorry Riles"
I looked around. I was in a white room filled with beds. It must be the hospital facility.
"Carter. I'm..Okay"
"I Miss You So Much Riley, I Couldn't Stop Thinking About You"
"I Mis..Too"
My voice was going again. I was glad Carter was here with me.
"Can You Move?"
I wriggled my fingers gently.
He clutched his hand around mine.
"Who Did This To You?"
I shook my head. I didn't know who did it to me. He looked angry and filled with rage. My dream had Mr.Clover in it. But it wasn't him.
"Carter I Lo-"
"Riley!" Dawn came skipping through the hospital doors with her family close behind her.
Luna pattered along the white floor and jumped onto my bed.
"Riles What's Wrong?" She asked.
"Luna Riley's Hurt"
Luna dropped her jaw.
"Why! Why Did Someone Hurt Riley!"
She began screaming and bawling. Tammy walked over and grabbed her.
"LuLu Its Okay. Riley's Awake Now"
Luna nuzzled herself into her moms chest.
Dawn stroked my hair.
"How Would I Survive Without You?"
"You Wouldn't" I weeped.
Dawn laughed lightly.
"I'll Be Back In A Bit Riley"
Carter said before he got up and walked out of the hospital.
"Why Was He Here?"
Dawn scowled.
"I Don't Know"
At Least now I could speak again. I gritted my teeth together. It hurt so badly.
I must of fallen asleep because the next time I opened my eyes, it was dark and I was alone.
