My Cinderella Story (Be Mine Again)

Chapter 11

Song "Yours" Ella Henderson

I can hear distant voices all around me. Males and females. I try prying my eyes open but my heavy lids felt like they were glued shut. When I was finally able to slightly open my eyes, it burned from the bright lights surrounding me. The lights were blinding and I struggled to see again. Suddenly, the sweetest, softest, most angelic voice caresses my ear. I must be dreaming...

"Amelia... Amelia.... Hey! She's awake now. Amelia can you hear me? It's Christian." Then his familiar handsome face came into view. I stare lovingly at his sharp features with a small smile on my face.

Ah.... Christian. My Christian. So sexy and gorgeous....

His flawless face twisted into one of confusion and then amusement. The cutest smirk spreading across his face.

"Just how sexy am I?" He blessed me with his angelic voice again.

"Very..." I can hear myself chuckle followed by his chuckles.

I reach out to touch his face, it feels so real. As if this wasn't a dream. A dream...

My eyes immediately flutter open, embarrassment already crawled on my face.

"Hey," he said devilishly teasing.

"I said all that out loud didn't I?" He nods at me. I can tell he was trying to hold in a laugh, gosh I just wanted to crawl into a hole at this moment.

I dropped my hand from his face but he caught it half way and held it tightly between his.

"How are you feeling?" concerned was laced into his features now.

"I...Okay I guess," I answered. All at once, pain that I didn't feel earlier made itself present and suddenly I was feeling like I just ran a marathon. "What happen?"

Before Christian can answer me, a petite blonde woman dressed in blue scrubs entered the little private space we occupied.

"Hey Ms. Lovell, I'm Nurse Lacy, how are you feeling?" she said as Christian backs away to give her room.

"Fine I guess. Just very sore..."

"I'll bet, after all you've been through."

All I've been through? Images of my brother flashes through my mind, as well as events with his creditors and Christian.

"Oh my god... Jackson..." I looked to Christian, "Christian what happened? Why am I here?" I looked down at myself and notice I wasn't wearing my torn up clothing anymore and the bruises on my arm were exposed with the hospital clothing I had on. Tears sting at my eyes after realizing what had happened and what is about to.

"Amelia calm down." Christian's soothing voice came closer to me. No later than a couple steps he was by my side holding my hands again.

"I'll go grab the doctor." Nurse Lacy smiled sweetly at me before leaving.

After the doctor thoroughly checked me over, he gave me an all clear to go home if I wanted to although he suggested I stayed until morning since it was already past midnight. There was no way I wanted to stay in the hospital though. The last time I stepped foot in one was when my parents were pronounced dead. Before I was able to get out of the bed to change, I had two other visitors.

"Hi, I'm officer Blake and this is officer Carson," two uniformed men stepped into the room, "We would like to ask you a few questions Miss."
