"Oh dear god!, Charles! Charles call someone! No! Not an ambulance! Are you crazy? Call Dr.Louis hurry!!"
Was the last thing I heard before I fell unconscious.
I forced my eyes opened, I could make out a ceiling, white, with stars glued to it. Mom had glued those stars. I turned my gaze, my bright red walls a bit overwhelming on my eyes, I wonder how long I've been asleep.
"Mom?"
Nothing.
"Mom!"
Still nothing.
Someone pushed the door open, I was expecting Mom, maybe even Dad. My heart dropped as Dr.Luis walked in with a somber face.
"Ri- Ash, I see you're awake" he said in a rigid voice.
"Where are my parents?"
"Out, they will be back in a couple of hours, and Ash, they want you out by the time they're back" he turned his expression neutral, with pity only showing in his voice.
"Out? Wh-what do you mean out!" I was in shock, to say the least. I'd expect something like this from Dad, but not from Mom, I guess you never really know a person.
"Yes, I've arranged something, your trust fund will be untouched and you will live in the Lewisville Sanitarium until you can claim it and move away when you turn eighteen in two year. As to preserve the Nightingale name you will go as Ash Richardson from now on. There is a cab waiting for you at the door." And with that statement Dr.Luis walked out of the room, leaving me with stinging arms and a heavy heart.
