Zaylee Curtis 3

Leaving The Hospital

I woke up this morning next to Jayden. I looked around and saw my brother and his girl asleep in the chairs over by the window. I got up carefully and quietly so I don't wake up Jay. I walked over to Pony and tapped his shoulder. He didn't wake up, so I tapped Bree's shoulder and she woke up quietly and hugged me as I hugged her back.

"How are you feeling?" She whispered to me.

"Okay, can you wake him up for me. He won't get up and I figured you could wake him up" I said, she smiled and kissed his cheek and then messed up his hair. Pony woke up smiling and then he fixed his messy hair as he looked at Bree and I.

"Hey Zay, you okay?" He asked. I nodded and sat next to him. Jay's not awake yet, but that is okay since him and I went to sleep last night fairly late. I didn't mind that Jay's still asleep, he needs sleep and we can hang later if we want or what ever.

"Yeah, when can I leave?" I asked. He sat up in his chair and looked at Bree and then back me. I just sat there waiting to know, if he doesn't, then I will leave the room and go to the front desk and ask.

"I don't know, I assume when you wake up." He said. I nodded and walked over to the bed. I grabbed my shoes and put them on. I got up and walked out of the room before anyone could stop me. Doctors all looked at me and gave me worried looks. Yeah I shouldn't be up, but I can't staying here and I know what's wrong with me. I have lung cancer and I will survive, I have enough trust and strength in myself to believe that. Others might not, but this is my battle to fight and I might not act the same way as before, but I am determined to be here and stay here with my brothers.

I walked up to the counter and waited for someone to help me. The lady turned around in her chair and looked at me. She was small, wearing a scrub top and bottom. She didn't look pleased to see a patient running around in a hospital. I stood there and then she opened her big mouth and asked me in a very sassy way, "What do ya want?" I stood back a little and I think I showed her that she scared me because she looked at the ground and then said sorry to me.

"Umm when can I leave?" I asked her. She stood up and looked at a file, it said my name. 'Zaylee Kaitlynn Curtis' and my age '14 years old'. She put her glasses on so she could see better and then she looked up at me.

"It says when you're awake and are able to walk no problem. And your brothers all got informed about this and what to do, medicine and when to bring you in for needles and stuff like that." She said. NEEDLES! I hate needles, I hate them so bad and I am fine when I am asleep because I can't wake up. I nodded with a small smile and then left back to my room. Pony and Bree are talking to each other. Jayden's not awake yet and I find him cute, even when he's asleep.

"Can ya leave?" Bree asked. I nodded and walked over to the bench where my jeans, shirt and leather jacket are. I brought them to the washroom and then got changed. I looked in the mirror and lifted my side bangs out of my face. I saw the big line across my forehead. Then I remembered something else, my stomach. The other big line that scars my stomach forever and only the gang, Bree and Jayden know about it. I pulled my shirt on and then pulled my black leather jacket over that. I put my shoes back on and walked out, Pony and Bree weren't there. Must be waiting outside for Jay and I.

I walked over to the bed and stood next to Jay. I kissed him on the lips and he woke up smiling at me. He kissed my back as he pulled me into a hug. I wrapped my arms around his neck as I kissed him back again.

"C'mon, let's go home." I said with a smile. He nodded and got up, put his shoes on and then we left the hospital room hand in hand. His hand fit my hand just right, I am his and he is mine. The pas tis the past and my road is going high up in the future. I just will have to hid my other feelings or emotions so I don't bother the others and then we're all down in the dumps.

Jay and I walked out and met up with Pony and Bree outside. We all walked back to the house. I walked behind Pony and Bree with Jayden. I didn't see anything different, other then walking by Lil's house. I was kinda scared to walk by it, it made me feel unsafe in or around that house knowing her father could come out at any time and hit me again.

I just stared at the house and as U got about two feet away from the front yard, I saw a person come up to the window and opened the curtain revealing their face. I got scared, I let go'd of Jayden's hand and ran down the street for my life. I ran and ran until it was harder for me to breathe.

I got in the house and plopped on the couch as everyone else around me looked at me. I covered my eyes with my hand as I tried to breathe normally. It didn't work and then someone scared me as they touched my shoulder and I jumped.

"Zay, calm down or it'll get worse." Soda said as he kneeled beside me. I couldn't at this point, I didn't know what was happening and it was getting scarier, seeing images of that night, seeing Lil get beat and then me get beat. It all came back to me as I held my head and rocked back and forth trying to make the pain go away or stop.

"Zay!" I heard a couple of the guys say and I could hear the worry in their voices. I started to cry knowing that I am making them worried and I can't stop, those images are like stuck in my mind and they bother me a lot.

I laid back on the couch and tried to calm down a little. I could hear some of them flip out, but then I felt arms pick me up and bring me else where, where the noise was very quiet to none, just me and who ever brought me here. I assume Soda did, he's always been the brother to soothe the others, the kind one, not that my other brothers aren't kind. I got set down in the bed as I heard his voice telling me to take deep breathes and calm down.

I listened and I could see and or hear my breathing improve. I closed my eyes as I laid in the bed and went to sleep. Soda left the room and I fell asleep in the dark room.
