How long, How far...

Chapter 3

Nate's P.O.V

I got home and I saw Matthew by our front door. He was drunk, as usual. I walked over to him a shoved him away. "What the fuck do you think you're doing here, Matthew?!"

"I'm here to fuck Rose." He slurred, and with that I punched him across the face until he was on the floor. I jumped on top of him and kept punching him in the face until he was out cold. I went inside looking for Rose, shouting for her. "Rose!!"

No answer. "ROSELA!!"

Nothing.

"Of for fucks sake's Rose." I went to her room to see Sarah reading a book.
"Where is she?"
"She's outside, making out with Ryan." She said flatly.

I looked out the window that oversees the back yard not believing Sarah and saw her, kissing Ryan. I ran downstairs and out the back door. I threw Rose off of Ryan making her fall on her back. I didn't care about her right now, all I had in my mind was to beat up Ryan. "Ryan what the fuck do you think you're doing!? Kissing my sister." I threw a punch at his face making him stumble backwards. Then next thing I knew Rose was on my back, putting her hands in front of my eyes, blocking my view of Ryan. I heard her screaming at him but couldn't pronounce the words properly. I heard Ryan screaming "I'm sorry, I'll phone you when I get home!!"

I got pissed at that and threw Rose off my back, making her fall on her back again. I turned around to see her not moving and panicked, I picked her up and ran upstairs with her in my arms. I laid her on her bed, moving Sarah out the way and checked for any scratches or blood. Her back was covered in a huge bruise already and her head was bleeding. At this point I didn't know what to do. I called an Ambulance. They were here in less than 5 minutes. I told them that she fell down the stairs multiple times and hit her head. Thank goodness they believed me.

They allowed Sarah and I to go in the ambulancewith them to the hospital. When we got there I waited in the waiting room and calledmom, while Sarah filled in Roses medical details.

"Hey mom, Uhm, Rose is kinda in the hospital, she fell down the stairs and hit her head pretty hard, Sarah and I are here, we're waiting for her diagnoses."

"Okay, Well, You know that I can't really come, Dad and I have gone away for the week, that's why we sent you home early, Just make sure that she's okay and eats enough food, please send her my love for me and make sure that she stays at home this week, it's a head injury so I don't want her suddenly fainting at school."

"Okay, mom. I"ll send her your love, and what must I do about Sarah?"

"She must go to school, but if you have work during the day and Rose isn't well, then Sarah should stay home and take care of her."

"Okay, I'll tell her, Love you, travel safely, bye." I hung up, a bit pissed that our own mother won't even come and see her daughter that is severely injured. I notice Sarah has sat down and is now typing on her phone, I sit down next to her and snatch it away. "Hey! I was busy with that!" She snatches it back and continues to type. "Don't you care that your sister is lying in a hospital bed and you don't even know if she's okay?!" She stopped typing and stayed quiet, staring down at her phone. "You're so selfish." I say to her and get up, walking towards the reception and ask the lady behind the counter if I may see her. She nods and guides me to her room, leaving Sarah behind.

The nurse opens the door for me. "You must wait for her to wake up, she's in an okay shape but needs her sleep." I nod, sit down and grab her hand, apologizing in my head to her. It's all my fault, I should've been more calm about it. I sit there quietly waiting for her to awake.
