Sleeves - Book 2

Chapter 2

RYAN'S POV

I can't believe Ava tried to kill herself. I'm still in shock. The doctors let me see her. She is perfect, even when she sleeps. I watch her all the time. I hope she wakes up. The doctors say she will, but I'm still worried about her. Around two hours after we arrived at the hospital, Ava wakes. 

"Ava," I say, beaming. I shake her shoulder gently. She fights to sit up. I hold her down. 

"No, no. You lay down," I say. She gasps a little and squeezes her eyes back shut. I shake her shoulder again. 

"Ava," She opens her eyes again. She screams. Very softly, but she screams. It is a scream of pain. I sprint out of the room. I can hear her wail again. 

"Nurse!" I shout down the hall. I can still hear her screaming. It's getting louder. 

"Where am I," She cries, "Someone help me!" The nurse and I race to her room. Tears are rolling down her face. She looks into my eyes, and freezes. 

"Who are you?" She wails. She sits up and yells again, "Who are you!" In her eyes, I see pure terror. I back away. 

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!" The nurse grabs her shoulders and pins her down. She is flailing and screaming. I sink to the floor. 

"I love you, Ava," I whisper into my hands.
