Never Let Her Go

In Big Trouble

Harmony Pov.

I knew it, I just knew that I was going to be in trouble with my dad. After I hung up the phone, I looked at Berkley with tears in my eyes.

" babe, it's okay it's not going to be this bad, we can do this together." Berkley said.

I looked at her like she was crazy.

" YOU CAN'T SAY WE'LL DO THIS TOGETHER BECAUSE HE WILL FUCKING KICK MY ASS NOT YOURS." I snapped.

I made my way out of the fair quickly causing me to drop the stuffed cat to the ground and I hopped on the first bus. The bus was stuffy but I couldn't think about anything other than how mad my dad was. I couldn't stop crying.

~ 1 hour later

As soon as the bus stopped I ran down the street to my house. I slowly opened the door walking inside. When I went to the living room I saw my dad sitting in the couch looking at me and he was looking pissed as ever.

" H-hi d-dad." I said.

" I got a text from an unknown number that you skipped school today with your girlfriend, who the fuck told you to do that." He said.

He stumbled towards me, pulled me  up by my hair and slapped me hard. My dad started going ballistic when I didn't respond. I tried to block his kicks, punchs, and slaps but I wasn't strong enough.

" p-please s-stop i-it's u-un-unbearable." I stuttered out.

I had endured his rage for about 15 minutes before the door burst open and revealing Berkley.

" HAROLD GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM HERE." Berkley yelled.

Berkley ran towards us and grabbed me from my dad's death grip. She punched him in his face so hard that she knocked him out cold.

" I'm so sorry, I let this happen." She said.

I shook my head at her crying my eyes out. When we got outside I saw Alex, Sam, Ronnie, and Robbie standing by the tree in my yard. They probably heard what happened and they didn't look at happy. Every time I took a single breath it hurt like hell.

" dude we need to get you to a hospital." Sam said.

" n-no please no." I said.

They looked at me like they were mad at me causing me to cower in fear behind Berkley. She looked at them and walked us down the street and before she turned to me.

" Baby, I know that your not going to like this but your going to the hospital." Berkley said sternly.

I sighed but nodded anyway because I knew that she was right. We walked back to where the boys were.

" so are you gunna go to the hospital?" Robbie asked hopeful.

I nodded even though I didn't want to go to get help. My neighbor Leon Panette let us drive his car after Berkley gave a lie about why I needed to go, so we wouldn't have to go on the bus or walk.

The nearest hospital was 5 blocks down the street while was great. When we got there Sam picked me up bride style and walked into the hospital with his friends close behind.

" how may I hel-- Harmony?!" Aunt Kami said shocked.

" h-hi aunt kami." I said.

Sam, Alex, Ronnie, Robbie and Berkley looked so confused it was funny.

" I'll get doctor Joyce, he'll be right with you, just fill out theses forms." Kami said.

I nodded then sat down in the chair next to Berkley as I did the forms. By the time I finished with the paperwork I heard my name being called.

Sam picked me up again and followed behind Doctor Joyce.

" okay, set her down and then you could leave." He said.

Sam did as told and left.

" okay, Harmony why are you here today?" Doctor Joyce asked.

I looked at my lap not wanting to say anything. He asked me again and I just shook my head with tears falling down my face. Doctor Joyce left and he came back with Berkley.

" Harmony I hear you won't tell Doctor Joyce why you are here today."
She said.

I looked up at her.

" He beat me everyday for the p-past 14 years." I whispered.

" okay, um we will have to do a couple tests and x-rays." Doctor Joyce said.

I sighed but nodded anyway.Berkley kissed my forehead and left the room with Doctor Joyce.

~ 1 hour later

All of thoses tests and x-rays were finally done and I couldn't be happier.
The doctor came back in this time with Aunt Kami and uncle Meho, the 3 of them looked worried.

" okay, Harmony you have 3 broken ribs, torn muscles in my thigh, a broken ankle, a broken shoulder, a sprained elbow and while the tests we noticed that you have a lot old bruises and fractures that have not healed properly." Doctor Joyce said.

My aunt cried while my uncle looked pissed. I didn't react though.

" I had worse." I mumbled.

My aunt cried harder.

" HARMONY YOUR NOT GOING BACK TO LIVE WITH HIM." Uncle Meho yelled with pure anger.

I flinched out of habit and everyone in the noticed. Doctor Joyce cleared his throat and we all looked at him.

" your going to have to go stay here for about two week just so she can recover and get a psych consult." He said.

I looked at him.

" I-I can't, I-I can't, I-I'm fine." I said.

I tried to get up from the bed, but Doctor Joyce and Uncle Meho stopped me from moving. Because my lack of control of the situation I started to scream bloody murder.

~ Berkley Pov

My friends and I heard a scream down the hall, so we followed it.We stopped at a room and saw Harmony thrashing in her bed screaming, crying and hitting the doctor. The doctor had to forcefully restrain her, so no harm was done to her or anyone.

" is she going to be okay?" Robbie said alittle scared.

I smiled sympathetically at him and nodded my head.

" yeah, she'll be okay." I said.

I knocked on the door and it was opened my Mr. Meho.

" hi Mr. Meho how is she?, is she okay?, what is broken?, does she need to stay? How long?" I asked.

Mr. Meho looked at Harmony, then Kami, and finally me. He just sighed sadly.

" she wasn't happy when the doctor told her that she said she had to stay two week, but yes she has a couple broken bones and torn muscles." He said.

I slid to the ground and started to cry into my hands. Mr. Meho sat next to me.

" why did this happen to her?" I mumbled.

" none of us knew." He said.

" in the past 4 months I figured it out and I wanted to save her but she kept on refusing. We were going to leave this place." I replied.

The tears wouldn't stop when I thought about all the times I would hear Harmony crying. Mr. Meho hugged me one more time before leaving with Kami. I was alone with Harmony stroking her hair.

" I'm so sorry." I said.

And with that, I left the hospital with my friends, thinking about Harmony.
