Chapter 11: I'm Sorry...

A/N: Sorry this is so late everyone, I had a lot of close family deaths in these past couple months and haven't had the energy to write, but I'm back!

Lilac's POV

Beep beep beep

I squint my eyes, slowly opening and adjusting to the brightness of everything around me. After flickering open a few seconds later, I feel a squeeze on my right hand and weakly turn to see Lucas's worried face.

"Are you alright love? Your body has been under a lot of stress these past couple days" he asks as calmly as he could, though it doesn't stop me from seeing how terrified he's been.

"My body hurts a lot" I whimper out and he frowns, wiping away a tear I didn't realize had fallen. "Where is that jerk now? What are they going to do with him?" I ask, looking down at our hands as Lu caresses mine with his thumb.

"Your family is currently speaking to lawyers about pressing charges for child abuse since you're still a minor and he's older" he explains softly and I nod, taking a minute to process everything.

"So he might be going to jail for good? And he won't be able to hurt others ever again?" I look up with big eyes, body tense and strained from my lack of use these past couple days.

"Yup, he has practically no way of getting out of this. You had accidentally called me so they have vocal proof that they tracked as him and your parents had a camera in your room, and as weird as that sounds, it caught everything that happened so he can't deny it" he runs a hand through my hair and only then do I notice the lack of usual tangling with my hair.

I lean up to grab it and sigh in relief when my locks are still there. "For a minute I thought you guys had cut my hair" I let out a breath and Lu chuckles.

"Head & Shoulders: Conditioner does wonders for you my love" he pecks my lips, and I smile against his. "You can be released today if they find you fit enough" he murmurs softly and I nod, not moving from our position for a few seconds until the door barges open and my family comes in.

"I'm so sorry baby!", my mother cries out coming over and hugging my tightly. I wince in pain, letting out a grunt and she comes to a realization as she pulls away from me. "Oops! Sorry again!" she chuckles nervously and I smile with a laugh.

"Sweetheart, why didn't you tell us the reason you broke up with him in the first place? If we knew what he did to you in the past, we wouldn't have let him in!" she looks at me broken and I frown, weakly reaching out to hold her hand.

      "I just didn't want you guys to think I was too weak that I had to depend on you guys for everything" I bite my chapped lip, looking at my hospital gown with the synchronized beeping filling my ears through the background.

      "Stupid, we're your family. We're always going to need eachother dingus" my sister scoffs, rolling her eyes with a small smile.

      "I know, I know. It was really dumb of me to think like that but I was just scared. I thought he'd become worse if I told, so I just didn't say anythi-" I'm cut off by my doctor coming in with different shots and a clipboard.

      "Well, Mr. Lilac. You'll be happy to hear that you're just about good to go after I give you some shots and we'll lastly just need you to stay for another 2 hours for monitoring" he smiles widely, showing off pearly whites as he starts off with my lower body and working the shots up my body.
