One Day

Freedom?

   I woke up to the sound of beeping. I slowly open my eyes. When I fully open my eyes, I saw that I was in the hospital. I looked around and saw I had a cast on my arm and a wrap around my ribs and stomach. "Oh, you're awake. How are you feeling?" I looked at the nurse and tried to smile at her but couldn't. " In pain. And thirsty." She smiled and walked up to me. " That seems normal sweet heart. I'll get you something to drink in a moment. I just have to check some things before I do." I nodded my head and let her check whatever. I was looking around the room while she was checking my pulse and my eyes laid on a single flower in a vase. It seemed strange for only one flower to be in the room. I wonder why that's here. "Um, excuse me but is there a single flower in all the rooms or is that for me?" She smiled. " That is for you. A young man came in about 3 hours ago and put it in there. He seems nice. Is he your boyfriend?" I nearly choked on my spit. "No, No, No, I don't have a boyfriend." I said as fast as I could.  She sighed "That's too bad. He seemed like a nice young man." This made me smile. "Um, by any chance did you get his name?" I asked with a small bit of hope. "Oh yes, his name is Aidan. He seemed to be around your age. Maybe 14 or 15. " she smiled and left the room. I was left alone in my room with nothing but my thoughts.  He barely knows me. Why does he care? It could be a trap. No, he wouldn't do that to me. Maybe he really does want to be friends.  "Skyler?" I was snapped out of my thought by a voice, dreamy voice. I looked for the source of the dreamy voice.  There at the door was a tall handsome man. He had mess brown hair. About 5'7 maybe 5'9.  He had these blueish greenish eyes that could make you melt in a heartbeat. He had black glasses on that make him look so innocent. I soon realized I been staring at him and look away and buried my face in my hands while I blushed. I hear him chuckle. Ohmygod. His laugh is even cute. What the fuck is this boy, an angel or something? Who could be so damn good looking, have killer eyes and have a cute laugh? "Hi Skyler. I'm Aidan. It's nice to finally meet you in person. How are you feeling?" He said in such a kind voice. I was kind of shy talking to him. What if he is acting like my friend just to hurt me. I soon smiled and answered him. " Hi Aidan, it's nice to meet you too. I am feeling thirsty and I'm in pain. But I guess that's what I get for being a smart ass to my bitch of a sister." I gasp and realized that he is her friend. " OMG I am so sorry I didn't mean it. I swear please don't tell her. She will kill me." I panicked. What if he tells her? Oh my god if she finds out she will tell my parents then they will most likely kill me. Oh no I need to fix this. Snapped out of my thoughts again by that dream voice of his " Skyler please calm down I'm not going to tell anyone. I know how your sister is and I find it horrible that she did this to you. And I am here to try to help you get better." He said as calm as he can. "How will you help me? Once my parents find out I'm in here they'll wait till I get well enough to leave here then just beat me more and tell me I was stupid for thinking someone could help me." I said in sad voice. That's how it works each time I end up in here they wait till I'm ok to get out then when we get home, they burn me sometimes even whip me. I have markings on my back from all of them. I'm shocked no one has tried to figure out why I go to the hospital so much. I didn't even notice I started crying till Aidan wiped my tears away. "It will ok. I know I can't save you but I can try to help you through it." I couldn't help it. I hugged him. He was shocked at first but then he hugged me back. "Thank you, really you don't know how much this means for me." I finally let go of him and smiled at him. "Of course. Please just stay strong." He smiled at me and sat on the bed. We talked until my visiting hours were over. " Thank you so much for staying and talking to me. I really don't have people to talk to anymore because of my sister." I said with a grateful smile. " I don't mind it. I really like talking to you. Maybe one day I'll get to know all your favorite habits. But I'm sorry I have to go; I hope you sleep well. I will see you soon." He hugs me then waves goodbye. It felt so great talking to someone about things that has happen to me without being called a liar. Soon I hear a knock on the door and it was the nice nurse from this morning. "Oh hello, how has your day been." I asked in a good mood. She smiles at me " Well aren't you in a good mood. My day has been busy but good. What put you in a such good mood was it that handsome boy here?" I slowly felt myself blush and smiled. "Well, kind of. He helped me get things off my chest that I needed to get off or I would have exploded." She giggled " We can't have that now. I am glad you're feeling better now. I have brought you dinner then you can go to bed or whatever you want. You will be here for a couple of weeks so I would ask one of your friends to bring your school work here so you won't fall behind." I smiled at the thought of being abuse free for a couple weeks. " Thank you very much and I sure will. Have a nice night." She smiled and waved goodbye. She is so nice. After I was done eating, I was bored and want to listen to music. I looked for my phone. I thought it would be next to my bed but I looked by the chairs and there was my bag. I smiled and opened it to see my phone, headphones, and charger. Yes! I'm so glad I bring my charger with me every day. I pulled in my charger and headphones and slowly fell asleep to my music playing.
