Behind Closed Doors •G.D•

13.

Skylar's POV

I hear voices but none of them seem familiar. All I feel is pain and all I see is darkness. Where am I? I hear multiple voices shouting stuff and different sounds that seem oblivious.

I just want to open my eyes and see what's happening, what my surroundings are.

I start to feel a tremendous amount of pain and then all the voices start to shout.

"Doctor! I need some help in here...! Nurse! Get me a crash cart!"

Doctor? Why am I in the hospital? I start to feel numb as everything disappears...

Beep
Beep
Beep

The constant beeping noise makes my head throb, and makes my ears pound. My eyes start to open as I regain conscious. The bright light blinding me, stopping me from examining where I'm at.

My eyes adjust and I look around. I'm in the hospital. I have a cast on my left leg and on my right arm. I can't move my neck so I'm guessing I have a neck brace on.

I heard shuffling so I moved my eyes to the left of the room. I hope my eyes deceive me cause if I'm not mistaken, that mysterious boy sitting in the chair, is Grayson.

My eyes met his beautiful hazel ones and we sat here starring at each other.

"Why...? Why would you do this Skylar...?"

I got up the courage to talk trying to adjust my voice.

"Do what...?"

"Come on Sky you know what I'm getting at... Why would you try and escape?"

"Grayson look at me! I was rotting in the basement! Ethan would come in every day and beat the shit out of me... I was going to die if I stayed in there, it was just a matter of time..."

I brought my gaze to my lap and started to play with my fingers.

"Then why did you destroy our house?"

"Revenge... why else?"

"Well we have someone cleaning it up as we speak, so by the time you get out of the hospital it will be ready for us to go back..."

He's funny if he thinks I'm actually going back with him! I'm not going down with out a fight.

"Gray I'm not going back... I'll end up dying, just let me go! I won't tell anyone what happened, it will be our little secret..."

"I'm sorry gumdrop but I can't let you do that. Your coming back with me whether you like it or not..."

I'm too exhausted for this, obviously I'm going to have to go with him I can't even walk.

"What happened?"

"You passed out while you were driving from the lack of food, water, and the loss of blood. Your wounds are pretty severe! You have a broken leg and arm, you have three broken ribs, a fractured neck, and your stomach is severely bruised. You have a lot of cuts and bruises too."

Wow how did I make it out of there alive? I should be dead by now!

I felt Grayson put his hand on my thigh, making me relax cause I'm so tense. What is he doing to me? I hate him! Or do i...?

I looked up at him and he had tears in his eyes, it broke me to see him like this. Wait what are you saying Skylar, stop being soft! I just couldn't help it, I know he never meant to hurt me on purpose.

"I'm so sorry gumdrop... I never wanted this to happen to you... I care for you so much and I know what I did hurt you and I'm so sorry! You mean so much to me! Please come back with me! I'll talk to Ethan and make sure he doesn't hurt you! Or take you to the basement. You just have to promise not to trash our house, run away, or disrespect us in anyway..."

I felt a tear roll down my cheek, I hate crying why do I cry so much? How much I wanted to fight back I just couldn't, my body couldn't handle it. I'm mentally and physically drained and exhausted.

"Ok..."

It came out as a whisper and my voice cracked as more tears fell down my cheek.

Grayson took his thumbs and wiped away my tears.

"Don't cry gumdrop I hate to see you cry..."

I nodded my head in response cause I don't know what to say.

"Get some sleep princess..."

I felt his lips on the top of my head as I closed my eyes, attempting to fall asleep. I heard the door open and shut indicating he left.

I listened to the sound of the oxygen machine beeping, soothing me and relaxing my body.

I soon felt myself falling asleep, letting everything that just occurred roll out of my mind.

I hope going back with them won't be a mistake that I make for a second time...
