Shoutout to Mahomieforaustin!
I woke up to the beeping of a heart rate monitor. I was in a hospital gown in a hospital bed in a hospital. I slowly opened my eyes to see a bandage on my leg and arm
It all came flooding back to me. My mom. The cops. Jared.
Jared. Was he the one that called the cops? I didn't know anything.
I was dragged out of my daydream when the door opened. In came a nurse.
"Hi Abigail. Welcome to the land of the conscious. I'm nurse Amy. How do you feel?"
"Alright I guess."
"I'm glad to see you're awake."
"What happened to my mom?" I asked curiously.
"She was put into jail for 15 years. Don't worry. She can't hurt you anymore," she said with a small smile. "Can I tell you something? You're a beautiful girl and you have a full life ahead of you so please stop cutting."
"I'll try," I said.
"You have a couple visitors." Visitors? A couple? "Would you like them in one at a time?" I nodded and said sure. She left the room and I relaxed a little bit.
The door opened and I kept looking at the wall.
"Abigail?" I knew that voice. The soft gentle voice. The voice I was always so happy to hear. The voice of my brother.
"Luke?" I turned around to see his concerned face.
"How are you feeling?"
"This is not a time to talk about me! When did you get back?" Luke was in the military for about three years and I hasn't seen him at all.
"I got on a plane as soon as I heard about you! I'm so sorry if I didn't leave this wouldn't have happened and-"
"It's fine. I've been alright. Schools been.... Diffrent since you left."
"How so?"
"Two boys, Robbie and Trever, have been "bullying" me. But it's alright."
"Should I beat them up for you?" he said with a smile.
"That would be great actually!" I laughed.
"Anything else?"
"Well this other boy he is friends with Robbie and Trever. His name is Jared. I thought he was different. But I went to this party and I was pushed into the pool. You know how I can't swim so I was drowning. I was pulled out and Jared found out about mom. And.... my cuts-"
"Cuts?" he interrupted.
"Yes...No. Crap," I muttered.
"Can I see them?" I held out my wrist and his eyes teared up."Continue."
"Jared got angry that I didn't tell him about it. So he hit me," I muttered the last part.
"He hit you?" he asked. I nodded and played with my fingers.
"Can we change the subject please? When do you leave," I asked.
"I was thinking about staying here for a while," He said with a smile. I laughed and hugged him.
"That hurt," I said simply holding my shoulder.
"Sorry," He said. "So what does this Jared guy look like?"
"He's about my hight. Greenish brown eyes. He has a couple freckles. Brown hair."
"Like the guy in the waiting room?"
"What?"
"There's a guy in the waiting room exactly like you described."
