Lost and in love

Chapter 7: Broken physically and mentally

The bell rings to signal the end of school and i wait until the room gets empty. Jake's waiting for me but i don't want him to feel like he always needs to protect me.

"Y...you can go Jake" i stutter and i can feel my face heating up. "No I'm walking you to your mums car" he said determination in his eyes. "Please go" i can feel something bads going to happen and i don't want him there when it does. "Ok fine i'll go bye Kate call me if u need anything". He looks surprised but doesnt mention it. "Jake"? I ask "what"? he says gently concern fills his face. "I don't have your number" i say . "Give me your phone Kate so i can add my number". He says and i pass him my phone. He gives it back, "bye Kate" he says with a smile and walks out.

I feel all alone and i wish i let him stay. I think I'll go now and i walk out the door. I'm walking out the door and suddenly someone pulls me to a side. I'm horrified to see it's Dave . He wraps a blindfold around my face and he's dragging me across the field. There's pain in my stomach and my hands hurt from trying to stop him from dragging me.

Suddenly were stopping and he's punching me and kicking me in the ribs. I'm hoping their not broken but i doubt it. He's punching me in the head and i feel like I'm losing consciousness.

I wake up but my head feels foggy, its very hard to breathe and when i try to get up i wince, there's a sharp pain near my ribcage. Tears fog my eyes and threaten to fall but i need to be strong and call someone for help. I should call my mum and tell her.

I look around in my pocket until i find my phone ignoring the pain and bleeding one my hands. After two rings she picks up "honey where are you i've been looking everywhere for you"! she says worry written all over her voice. "Mum i'm at the school and it hurts "i said wincing. "What hurts?" she asks. "Please just come" i say hanging up.

After ten minutes i see her running towards me concern written all over her face. "Let's get you to the hospital" she says helping me up and taking me to the car. The ride is very silent and both of us are lost in our own thoughts. I decide to take my phone out to see what time it is, wow its seven o'clock. Should i call Jake and tell him about what happened? But he probably doesn't even care.

We get to the hospital after about twenty minutes. By now the pain has increased and i think my ribs might be broken but i can't be sure. My mum helps me out of the passenger seat and she puts an arm around my waist to support me while we walk to the emergency room.

The nurses hurry to my side and help me to a room. They go to get the doctor leaving me and my mum alone in the room. "What happened to you"? she asks trying to control her anger. "I..ive been getting bull...ied since i've started at the new sch...ool" i say struggling through the tears. She doesn't say anything as she envelopes me in her arms while i cry. "Oh honey i didn't know, how could they do this to you. Once we're out of here i will make them pay for hurting you" she says anger evident in her voice.

The doctor walks in "hello I'm Dr Tom i'll be examining you and seeing what parts of you need healing. Mrs. Rithmore do you mind stepping outside for this"? He asks. "Mum please don't leave me here I'm scared" suddenly feeling really nervous and my eyes fill with tears that are threatening to spill. My mum looks surprised most likely because I'm not usually the type to get emotional "no I'm not leaving her side" she says determination in her eyes. Dr Tom looks shocked and confused like he doesn't know what to do. My mum speaks up "I need to call your dad darling so I need to go outside for a bit". I don't want her to go but I need my dad here for support, she goes out to call him and closes the door "bye I'll be back as soon as I can" she says in a worried tone. I offer her a small smile thankful for her understanding and support.

Once she's gone the nurses help me get changed into a hospital robe and they put me onto a different hospital bed and take me to the children's ward. This is where they'll be examining me and seeing what needs to be treated. "What about my mum? She doesn't know I'm here" I say suddenly worried. "Don't worry a nurse went to tell her and she's on her way now with your dad" the nurse attaching me to an i.v and oxygen tank says with a reassuring smile. They finish examining, bandaging, giving me painkillers for the pain and icing my bruises. It turns out I have two broken ribs the rest are bruised badly and my left ankles sprained not broken which I am thankful for.

After they finished examining me the doctor and the nurses walked out and left me to have some family time. Suddenly the door opens and my mum and dad walk in worried looks on their faces, my dad wraps me in a bone crushing hug. I try not to wince but a slight groan escapes my lips and he quickly let's go concern all over his face. "Sorry for hurting you I was really worried about you what did you hurt?" he asks. "I broke two ribs, the rest are bruised and I sprained my left ankle" I see the shocked and angry looks on both my parents faces "it could be worse" I say with a shrug.

"No you need to see that this is a problem and you shouldn't say that" my dad says clearly trying to control his anger. "We need to do something about this" my mother agrees. "Why didn't you tell us about the bullying?" my dad asks. I can feel my eyes blurring from unshed tears "i thought you's would think it was my fault" i said trying not to cry. "Why would we ever think that?" they both say at the same time as they envelope me into a hug. I feel really tired and drift off to sleep as my dad lays me down on the pillow.

I wake up with my ribs throbbing and i try to get up but fail because it hurts too much. I decide to get my phone and check the time. It's 7:30 maybe i could call Jake and tell him I'm not coming to school today. I scroll to his number and call him after two rings he picks up..
