The Not So Perfect Life

Chapter Eight- Nathan

"WHAT DID YOU DO ANDREW!" I say screaming at him as the nurse points for me to go to the bed and tells me to lay down on my stomach. "I did what was best for you. You need your back looked at." I just want to scream "NO"  and run out of the hospital but at the same time im thinking that if the nurse sees what my dad did to me i might be able to get away." Fine but only doctors see this" After i said that the nurse lifted up the back of my shirt.Then the nurse finally says something and I don't like what she says, "Kid how did this happen I  think you could have some broken ribs, you may even have some damage to your spine. This is very serious you know that right. How did this happen?" I hated to hear what she said. I wanted to just block everything out but at the same time i was happy to hear this because this finally meant someone else besides me finally knows what my dad really does. " What my scar or the other marks?" I figured it was the other marks but I wasn't sure I was really hoping that it was the other marks. "No the other marks, I can see what gave you the scar and after you tell me how you got these other marks I can infer how you got the scar." I don't want to tell her but something tells me to and I know if I don't tell her Andrew will and I don't want Andrew to tell her . Then i just flatly say, "It was my dad, last night he was drunk like normal and like normal he took his anger out on me ,those marks are shoe prints." The nurse faces lights up with understanding and anger while she continues looking at my back and says, " I see, then I'm guessing that this scar if from a beer bottle that your dad threw at you. I'll be right back." Once the nurse if out of the room not meaning to I give Andrew a dead stare and say, "I'm glad that you did that but I'm going to kill you"
