Emily's POV
I hear voices around me, one of them was Naomi's, the other I can't remember, like I've only heard it once, it was just so unfamiliar. I open my eyes and look around me without trying to make a sound.
I see Naomi standing there looking at me, however, the other person has left the room.
"Who were you with?" I ask.
"Oh it is no one that you need to be concerned about right now!" She says walking towards me. She sits on the edge of the hospital bed.
"How are you feeling?" She says changing the subject.
"I'm feeling okay I guess, thanks but what happened?" I ask a little confused.
"Remember I was meant to be at yours at 5:30, and you called me and said that I should let myself in, so I did. I wondered around your house, looking for you, I found you lying in your parents bedroom on the floor passed out with a lot of blood coming out of your body, I'm wasn't sure which part. So I called the ambulance!" She explains to me.
Suddenly realisation hits me and I remember it all. Everything I wish I could've forgotten!!! Alex cheating on me, my dad hitting me and , saying that it is all my fault for something that I'm pretty sure has to do with the women who left us.
"Naomi?" I say.
"Yes Emily?" She responds.
"Who was the person you were speaking to?" I ask her.
She sighs. "It was Brandon. He wanted to see if you were okay"
"Oh...how did he find out?" My questions start to pile on.
"When the ambulance arrived at your house, I was waiting as they put you in the van and he approached me with his dog. I guess he was trying to excersize his little pup but anyways, he asked me what was going on so I told him I found you in your parents bedroom passed out" She explains.
"Oh I didn't know he has a puppy!" I say trying to forget the pain that is running to my hip.
"Yeah, I didn't either!" Naomi agrees with me.
***
I am still lying here in the hospital bed, I have been here for a couple hours and the nurse said that I can go as soon as the doctors check my x-ray, that was about 15 minutes ago! Naomi has gone out to get food about 5 minutes ago.
There was a small knock on the door.
"Come in" I say softly. In walks Brandon Taylor.
"Hello" I smile at him.
"Hey, how are you feeling?" He asks.
"Better thank you!" I respond to him, "Can I ask you something!"
"Yes of course you can!" He says interested in what I'm going to say.
"Why did you come to the hospital to check up on me? I mean you could've waited for me to come to school!" I ask.
"To be honest with you, I'm not really sure! When I walked past your house and saw the ambulance, I was just in pure shock and disappointment I just had to make sure that you were okay!" He explains to me.
"Thank you for caring!" I exclaim to him. He doesn't answer after that he just smiles and looks down at my hands.
A few moments later, Naomi walks into the room. She stands there looking at me and Brandon as if we just kissed.
"Am I interrupting something?" Naomi questions. Brandon looks at me and smiles.
"No, not at all" I say before he says something not true that would make Naomi freak out. I can feel Brandon's eyes on me but I ignore them.
"Okay good!" Naomi sighs.
She walks into the room while holding a bag. I assume that would be our lunch.
"Should I leave?" Brandon asks. Naomi looks at me and shrugs her shoulders and focuses on setting up the food. Brandon looks over to me.
"You can stay if you want!" I say giving him the option.
"I can stay if you don't mind" Brandon says.
"Yeah that is fine" I smile.
***
After a while of just Naomi, Brandon and me talking and making jokes, a doctor came in and told me that I was alright to go home. So Naomi and Brandon helped me get my stuff ready and I went in the car with Brandon because Naomi had to go home because of her parents.
"Where are you going to stay tonight?" Brandon asks, his eyes focused on the road.
"My house will be fine" I lie to him. My house really won't be, I am so scared if my dad is home because he might kill me in my sleep. I might be over exaggerating but I don't care.
"Emily, it's not going to be safe if you stay there tonight, go to a friends house or something! You shouldn't be at home if that is going to happen again." He exclaims. Damn it he's right.
"I guess your right, but I don't know who's I would stay at!" I sigh.
"What about Naomi's?" He questions.
"No she's busy and she has to do some stuff. I don't really have any other friends that won't let me stay at theirs with no questions asked." I explain to him.
"What about me? I won't question what happened, or why all of a sudden" He offers. It's a good idea but people at school will think that we are a thing and the popular girls will start to annoy me because they have been trying to get with Brandon because he is the hottest guys in school.
"I don't know..." I say to him, "What about your girlfriend?"
"We broke up a couple months ago. Please, I don't want you to go into that house without someone with you." Brandon tries to convince me.
"Okay fine, but can I at least get some clothes for tomorrow?" I ask.
"Yeah okay fine, but I am coming with you." He says. I don't say anything after that because I don't think I have much of a choice.
He pulls up into my drive, I see my dad's car already parked in. This should be good...
I don't say anything and neither does Brandon. I find the extra house key under a pot of flowers just outside our front door. We have a two flower pots and then our door in between each of them.
I unlock the door and walk in, I can feel Brandon right next to me. We walk straight to upstairs to my room. He hovers near the door as I gather my stuff.
We hear a noise, it sounds as if someone just broke some glass. That must be my dad. I suddenly feel a pain in my hip, remembering what happened to me. Surely that wasn't my dad, it couldn't have been. The person who shoved a knife into my hip looked nothing like him, although I couldn't really tell, they were wearing a hoodie that was unrecognisable.
I start to speed up, I don't want to run into my dad, especially if Brandon is here, I don't want him to find out that I've been abused for the past few days. Well I don't want him to find out anything about my family, that is a long history to explain, and I don't feel like explaining it to him because I just don't have the energy. But I have my own question....
Why is this happening again?
