You woke up in a hospital bed, moaning from the pain. You heard footsteps gradually getting louder, and closed your eyes not completely, but enough so that you could see, leaning your head into the pillow. An older lady, a nurse, had came into the room, bringing a glass of water and some supplies for stitches. You: (yes folks, multiple choice here)

Panic and jerk your head up. "What're you gonna do with that? P-please don't hurt me!" you sobbed. The nurse looked at you, surprised that you were awake. Suddenly, the nurse stood up and walked out of the room, calling for 'Doctor Stachurski'.

Kept your eyes closed. She prepared the tools, and slowly brought the needle to your face. After feeling it pierce through your skin, you jerked your whole body up and whined in pain. The nurse stammered, "Y-you're awake?" she rose from her seat and walked out of the room. You laid back down, hoping to go home soon.

The doctor entered the room, sitting down on the same chair the nurse had sat on. He introduced himself, and reassured you that it would all be fine. Finally, after you calmed down, the doctor rose the needle up to your face, and started sealing it. You tried to be brave and kept your whimpering to a minimum. Before you knew it, it had all been done. You looked at the doctor, a question on the tip of your tongue.

"Can I go home soon?" you asked. The doctor sighed, reluctant to answer.

"You have quite a few places that require medical help, but we'll see." he smiled at you, and exited the room.

You had thought that you would be alone for the rest of the day... or night... whatever time it was, but you eventually heard your mother's voice talking to someone. She came into the room, shocked, and near crying. She walked over, surrounding you in her arms.

"I'm so sorry... I didn't know this would happen..."

A figure appeared in the doorway. He cleared his throat, making his presence undeniable. It was your principal. But why?

Your mother looked behind her, realizing that you still had other visitors.

"I'd like to speak with (your name), please." his voice in his usual quiet tone. Your mom walked out of the room, leaving just you two.

"Are you okay? What did he do to you?" he asked worriedly.

"I'm fine sir, I'm just-"

"No, you aren't fine, look at your bruises! Please, tell me what happened, I'll do anything I can to help the situation."

You delayed for a moment, then began telling him everything, from the call, to the blackout. He looked like he had just done something terribly wrong once you had finished telling him. He hugged you, making sure to be gentle in case there were bruises. You were surprised that the Principal was hugging you, he had never done so before, but he always seemed like a fatherly figure to you, and was the only one at this point that was a fatherly figure. The hug ceased as Princi removed his arms. He ruffled your hair, all the while smiling.

After a few minutes, he had decided to leave. As he opened the door, he turned around, looking you directly in the eyes.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure he doesn't put a finger on you again." he smiled.

With that, he closed the door. Outside, he shook hands with your mom before exiting the hospital.

This was by far the best visit you had gotten at the hospital.
