Sarah sat in her hospital bed, sobbing. Her dad had came, screamed at her, hit her, and, again, Eren had done something while she hadn't. She was scared out of her mind when Eren had pushed her drunk father and then the man went after him.
A nurse entered the room.
"Ms. Goldstein?" she asked.
Sarah sniffed, "Yeah?"
"You can go home, but your father will not be coming home for a few days. He was arrested for child abuse, chasing and attempting to hurt a young boy, and then resisting arrest. Is your mother at home to watch over you? Or some kind of friend or guardian?" replied the nurse.
Sarah's mother had died giving birth to her. It was one of the reasons that her father hated her. She had basically killed her mother, her father had always put it. So he drank to ease the pain, like Sarah cut, and beat her merciless. She didn't have a guardian, but she didn't have a friend to stay with. She didn't have Eren's number or address. And, either way, she wanted to be alone.
"Yes, uh, my.... aunt Denise." Sarah lied.
"Alright. That's good. So you'll be safe?"
"Y-yes."
The nurse nodded and turned around, walking away, but then stopped and turned back towards Sarah.
"Also, I would like to inform you that we have counseling here. The doctor and I saw your....." the nurse hesitated before she said, "cuts."
"Thank you." was all Sarah could respond.
Then, after the nurse left, she slowly climbed out of the bed and got dressed. Then she left the hospital and walked home.
