Chapter 10: Hospitalized

The cold night air chilled me through my thin hospital night gown. It's ugly and slightly revealing. An uncontrollable shiver ran down my spine. I lay on the hospital bed, Alfie sitting by.

"How are you feeling now?" he asked.

"Numb. I'm not sure how to really describe it." I replied.

"It's alright. I love you,"

"Love you too."

Dr Dillion came in to my ward and explained about my situation.

"Hello, Miss Haley. So after the examinations, you have suffered blood loss in your skull, which is very serious. If you have any head injury in the future God forbid, it might lead to memory loss. And you have some severe bruises and cuts on your body. Medicines and some lotion will be given. Rest well." explained Dr. Dillion

"Thank you," I replied.

Alfie then held my hand and whispered,

"It will be alright, don't worry. Mom & Ana went home awhile go to have a little rest, I'll stay here with you."

He kissed my forehead and asked me to go to sleep.

/Next morning/

"Wakey wakey! Let's have breakfast!" said Alfie in his sleepy voice.

Both of us then proceed to the food court. The food court was peaceful and quiet, that's how I like it.

We both ordered our food and sat down to have a little chat.

"What happened yesterday? You have some sick bruises." Alfie asked.

Shit. How am I going to tell him? The whole thing was actually kind of his fault. I don't want to sound like a bitch and just tell him directly...

"Er, I overslept and dad woke me up. By beating me up with his belt. And he threw the pot plant on my head that Grandma gave me for Christmas, I'm so angry. That pot is purple, I repeat purple. You can never ever find a PURPLE plant pot at a cheap cost,"

Alfie choked on his juice and said "He is so mean. I don't get it why is he so angry at you?! I talked to him and he said he won't do it again."

"So you told him?"

"Yes! I'm going to report him to the Police."

You're going to expect me to say no, like in the movies but hell no I'm not going to give dad another chance. I had enough.

"Go on, this has been going on for months I had enough."

I sipped on my passion tea and looked through my phone. I had 52 texts in the chat group that Shalyn, Elizabeth,Taylor and I is in.

I was laughing at how epic all of them were when they heard about me. Gosh, I sound mean.

Alfie & I then went back to the ward. Tons of medicine was waiting for me to eat em' All of the medicines tasted like trash.

"Come on one last medicine, you can do it, don't be a wuss." Alfie encouraging me.

The nurses came in to check on me. "Miss, you can go home in one week. You must eat this medicines every single day." said one of the nurse.

"Every single day?" I replied.

"Yes"

Alfie was holding back his laughter so badly.

"I hate you Alf,"

"Love you too babe."

"Fel!! Happy New Years Eve!" shouted Anastasia who just arrived.

"Hey Ana!" I replied.

"What's on your head? Looks cool."

"It's bandages. Super cool & trendy, anyways where's mom?" I replied.

"She's buying food downstairs." she replied.

"Oh okay,"

Then we all just continued our day in the hospital.
