Skylar's POV
Its been a week since I got my neck brace off. Gray has come everyday and we would talk and laugh until visiting hours were over.
I can finally leave today! I can't tell if I'm happy or not, I mean of course I'm happy to get out of this shit hole but I have to go with Gray back to his house... where Ethan is.
I don't want to be released from the hospital to be put back in a cell where I almost die.
Gray must notice I'm worried because he gives me a sympathetic look, he grins at me reassuringly. I couldn't help but smile, he just makes me feel so at ease.
Gray helped me sit up since I still have a cast on my leg and arm. He helped me change into my clothes and helped me into the wheel chair.
"You ready gumdrop?" His words were so gentle and comforting.
"As ready as I'll ever be..." I smiled as he chuckled from my nervousness. He wheeled me to the front desk and started to fill out my release papers.
As his back is turned and he concentrates on filling out everything, I noticed a little girl standing over by the doors. She was holding on to a dirty stuffed bear that was basically falling apart.
She looked about 5 years old and she had dirt all over her, she looked lost, like she was looking for someone or something.
I wheeled over to her and smiled at her trying not to scare her.
"Hey are you lost?" She nodded her head in response.
"Who did you lose?"
She looked at me and hesitantly responded
"My m-mom... they brought her in here after our car w-wrecked..." She was stuttering and she had tears running down her cheeks.
"Do you need help finding your mom?" She nodded as I patted my lap indicating for her to sit on the leg without a cast.
She slowly sat on my lap being careful to not hurt my leg. She was so small and fragile, innocent even. She reminded me of me when I was younger. We had a similar resemblance and features.
I wheeled down the hall way. " Did you see which way they went?" She pointed towards the elevator.
I pushed into the elevator and started to think. " Did your mom look badly injured?"
"S-she had a lot of cuts and a lot of b-blood..."
I'm guessing she's in the operating room so I hit the fourth floor. We were on the first floor so it didn't take that long.
The doors opened revealing an old couple. They smiled at us and moved out of the way so I could wheel out.
"Thank you!" I smiled in return, as they got into the elevator and the doors shut.
As we were going down the hall a doctor came into view, I wheeled up to her, wanting some help.
"Excuse me doctor...?" She looked at me and smiled, seeing the little girl on my lap.
"Yes ma'am?"
"This little girl and her mother were in an accident. She said her mom was pretty hurt but she doesn't know where they went. Can you help me find her mom?"
"Ah so your Ellie... Your mom got out of surgery an hour ago and she woke up asking for her daughter Ellie..." She smiled at Elli as I helped her off my lap.
"I'll take her to her mom..."
"Ok thank you!" I looked down at Ellie as she had the biggest smile ever.
"Thank you..." She trailed off as she didn't know my name.
"Skylar."
"Thank you Skylar!" I smiled at her cuteness.
"Your welcome Ellie!" Her and the doctor started walking in the opposite direction as I wheeled back to the elevator.
I hit the button and waited for the doors to open. Once the elevator got to the floor, the doors opened revealing a worried Grayson.
"Oh my... Skylar! I was so worried, I didn't know where you went!" I giggled as he rambled on and on about how worried he was.
"Gray I'm fine! There was a lost little girl and I helped her find her mom!" I smiled realizing how happy I was that I helped Ellie.
"Well next time at least tell me where your going..." He looked relieved that I was ok and started pushing me into the elevator.
We got down to the first floor and he wheeled me past the front desk and out the doors.
Soon his white jeep came into view. He helped me into the passenger side and put my wheel chair and crutches in the back.
He walked around and got into the drivers side.
"You ready to go home?" He looked at me and smiled waiting for me to respond.
"Yup." I returned the smile but as soon as I looked out the window, my smile faded.
I am ready to go home... but not to his house...to California...
