Chapter 3

"Aspen, Aspen sweetheart we are going to need to have you walk around for a little bit. You need to move a bit before you can eat anything," This voice literally hurt my brain, it felt as if I had just drank an entire bottle of liquor.

I groaned and began to open my eyes and stretch, I felt a protruding stiffness in my arm though. With horror I began to heavily breathe, where am I?

"Wait... stop what's happening." I began to mutter, I noticed all of the monitors sitting around me.

I'm in the hospital, what happened?

I quickly sat up in the bed only to be pushed down by the nagging nurse, she continued to talk to me but I couldn't focus on her words. I looked down to see I was in a hospital gown, where are my clothes?

"You need to lay back down for a bit, the doctor will be here in just a minute."

"Shut up! What the fuck am I doing here?" I screamed at the lady, "You need to take this out of me now," I motioned at the IV in my arm, "Give me my clothes and I'll be on my way." I was very abrupt with this lady but I didn't care, the fact that I was in a hospital bed terrified me.

"Miss Robinson, please calm down," I shut up immediately when what appeared to be the doctor walked into the room.

The man was tall, he had to be over six foot. In all honesty I was just intimidated, I could take a little nurse, but not a giant doctor.

My body tensed up and I sat up to see the man who was talking to me, the nurse slowly backed away from me too, being able to see the noticeable effect the higher authority had on me.

"First of all, you have the option if you want us to call your parents since you're 18. I didn't make the decision for you yet," He read off a clipboard and slowly looked up at me.

I opened my mouth, "I would assume you wouldn't want us to call them, considering you were at a party with alcohol and illegal drugs." He went on, I felt my heart drop. My parents would seriously take me out of this school and make me live with them again, possibly even transport from school every day. A 45 minute transmute.

"If you're thinking I was doing any of those things, you're wrong. I'm not-"

"It doesn't matter what I think, but would your parents believe you if you told them the truth? Are you close enough to know that the trust and bond is there?" The doctor was trying to give me helpful tips on whether or not I should tell my parents I went to a party with crystal meth and marijuana, nice.

I let out a sigh and shook my head, "Don't bother calling them," I told him.

He nodded and turned around to his computer, while he checked things off his clipboard and typed things into a document.

"How long am I going to be here? I need to get home soon," I questioned, sitting up completely in the hospital bed.

"Well, we gave you an x-ray to make sure nothing is broken. I don't believe you have any broken bones, but I think it would be best if you stayed here for a day or two until we can be for sure about some abnormalities we found," the doctor seemed tense, like he was hiding something from me.

I furrowed my eyebrows, abnormalities? What could be wrong with an x-ray?

"What's wrong with me, tell me." I demanded.

"We don't know yet, just stay calm and hopeful. I need to go now to help some other patients, I'm going to have you walk around for a little while before you can go to the cafeteria, it's in the far west wing, first floor. You can't miss it," I watched in disbelief as this doctor rushed out of the room to tend to someone else, leaving me with the crazy nurse who was sticking me with who knows what.

The nurse helped me up out of bed, the second I got up I felt a breeze behind. I looked down to see that the entire back side of the gown didn't really cover my body.

"I'm not going walking around like this," I caught the nurse's attention.

"Everybody's ass is out, nobody judges each other because everyone is living it," The nurse rolled her eyes at me.

I let out a dramatic sigh and went on my way out of the door, I looked both ways down the hall before making a left hand turn. I continued down the hallway for a little bit until I ran into a lounge, it had vending machines, chairs, and TV's hung up in two of the corners. Well, if Nancy the nurse ever bugs me too much, I know where I'm going.

I stepped out of the room and kept making my way down the hall, checking out where all the exits were. If I ever needed to get out of this place, I could run to an exit in my sleep.

The entire walk down this hallway I didn't see any nurses, but when I would turn around and look far down the hall I could see a couple down 20 yards.

But when I heard this little girl's voice I couldn't help but figure out where it was coming from.

My stomach started to develop knots and butterflies, my bare feet were sticking to the floor down here, like they hadn't cleaned the floors in a while.

"Hello?" I called out, I saw a light come on and flood the hall of its light.

I peeked into the room and saw a sad view, a messy room with a little girl sitting, focused on coloring in a book on her bed.

The girl was bald, pale, and couldn't be any older than 10.

For some reason I didn't feel nervous anymore, I felt like I had a job to do.

"Hey sweetheart, what are you doing down here all alone?" I asked gently, without even looking up the little girl shrugged her shoulders and muttered a small, "I don't know."

"Well, do you want to go get some food with me? I can walk with you down there." I smiled at the girl, still she refused to look up at me.

"I'm not allowed to leave, you're not supposed to be down here either. My nurse came a while ago and told me I need to stay here until someone comes and gets me, no one has come yet. I can't leave now, what if someone comes while I get food?" She asks me, I looked down and noticed her coloring a caterpillar blue in her book.

"Aspen, what are you doing in here?" My head shot up and noticed my nurse storming into the room, I tried to tell her that I wanted to take this little girl down to get food but she was silent and continued to pull me out of the room by my arm, "Go downstairs and get food, you've done enough walking for today." The nurse barked at me.

I tugged my arm out of her grasp and made my way to the closest set of stairs, I was only on the third floor so I didn't need to take an elevator.

With the last of the energy I had, I made it to the cafeteria and stood in line waiting for food.

Surprisingly, a lot of people were not wearing underwear underneath their hospital robes. I had seen enough ass to last me a lifetime.

I got a little bit of pasta and some vegetables on my bright orange tray, with the last of my dignity I hurried across the cafeteria and held my robes close to me.

I sat down in the far left corner of the room, it was a large long table that was empty. Personally I always enjoy eating alone, it's too much work having to talk and eat at the same time, plus I wasn't really in the mood for making friends.

I ate all of my vegetables and started to eat my pasta, stalling because the last thing I wanted to do what go back to that room and get probed again with that needle. I looked down at my arm, there was still the bandage holding a tube in my arm, just no liquids being pumped into my body.

"Ehh-hem." I jumped a little when I heard someone clearing their throat in front of me while I was examining my tubing.

I looked up to see Alan Rickman smiling gently at me.

"Is this seat taken?" His voice was deeper than I had ever heard before, I felt those butterflies starting to come back.

"N-No, go ahead."

And allowing him to take a seat across from me is why I have a story to tell.
