Bullies, Nerds And a Girl

Chapter 3

~ Ellie's POV ~

I woke up in a big white room and had almost forgotten what happened but then the pain set in. I tried to sit up but it was too painful, I cried out in pain. Instantly Levi and Carson were by my side, looking really exhausted. I was so thankful to see them but felt so bad. The first thing I said was "you didn't have to come here with me" they laughed and then gave me hugs and Levi said "there's no way they would ever leave me." Then Carson said he could tell I was clearly in a lot of pain so he went to find a doctor to give me pain medication whilst Levi stayed with me. I asked how long I had been out for and he said a fair few hours, The incident occurred at around 1:00pm and it was now almost 7:30pm, he explained that I blacked out again and then had to have my arm operated on so was out for longer because of the anaesthetic. After Carson came back and the doctor had given me my medication Levi said I should try to get some rest and that they will be there the whole time. Levi started playing with my hair whilst Carson was fixing up my blankets. I started to feel safe and quickly drifted back into a light sleep, it was hard to sleep well for obvious reasons.

After Ellie had woken up the first time Levi and I called all the others to let them know she had woken and was just sleeping now. They all showed up not too long after that. We were all sitting in her hospital room talking occasionally and just watching her sleep (not in a creepy way though), never once leaving her alone. Then Ellie jolted upright letting out a small whimper. I went over to her and held her, slowly lowering her back down onto the bed. By this point tears had started rolling down her face.

It was so painful I was crying again after I had woken up the second time. My whole body ached and my head was pounding. I realised the others had all come back. I was given many hugs and cried because no one's ever cared this much about me and I was also in a lot of pain. I felt so bad and guilty because they shouldn't have to deal with my problems. That's when I remembered Casey and Ryan, I didn't even know if they had made it home from school and whether they had dinner and were okay. All these thoughts racing through my head. I knew that it didn't matter how much pain I was in I had to make sure they were okay. I pushed myself off the bed almost falling but catching myself before I hit the ground. I started trying to get out of the romo using furniture for support. I barely made it past the bed before I was picked up by Levi who placed me back on the bed. He asked why I had tried to leave, through sobs I started saying C-Casey and Ryan they n-need me. He understood by this point and wrapped me in a hug and telling me not to worry about that. He then explained that Jake called Trent after everything happened so that he could pick up Casey and Ryan. I was so relieved and thanked Jake. I laid back down and we all talked for a bit, we ended up talking about my family and why I was looking after Casey and Ryan and not my parents. I guess they know all my darkest secrets now. It was now around 11:30pm. The doctor came in and explained the situation. I had a concussion, 2 broken ribs, a broken arm, severe bruising and a large amount of cuts and abrasions. I could almost feel how angry the boys were so once the doctor had left us I made them promise not to start fights with Ollie and his thugs. 

The doctor had said I had to stay a few more hours just to make sure I was ok but could go home after that. at around 3:00am the doctor came in to tell me i could go home now. By this time it was only Jake, James and Noah. A nurse had come in at around 12 to say that the boys had to leave but since I don't have any family that could be there with me she agreed to let a few of the boys stay. James and Jake stayed because they were the least exhausted and Noah stayed because he's the oldest of the group and the only one who can drive. I was discharged and slowly hobbled out to Noah's car with Jake and James on either side of me supporting me. They dropped me home first and made sure I made it into my room and into bed okay without any encounters with the drunks. We said goodnight and they left.
