Never Be Enough

Broken

My eyes begin to close as I see a shadow run towards me, hovering over me. I can tell it's Jenna from her voice, she was supposed to pick me up after work. Have I really been out here that long?

"Darius! Go call Sean! NOW!"

Darius must be the new student that Jenna is hanging out with, he seems nice but I've never seen him in person.

"Hey Bells, you gotta stay with me, c'mon stay awake until we get you home. Darius is calling Sean as we speak."

I can barely hear her because everything is really foggy and hard to comrehend what's going on. I feel my body being lifted off the ground, am I dead? Then I feel my body placed on a cushion, nope not dead, just in Jenna's Jeep. I wonder if we are going home or to the hospital?

I'm carried into my house by Darius, thank god mom is working late, like always. Darius places me on the couch, Sean comes running and to no surprise Nick is at his side.

"Bella what happened? C'mon Bella, stay with me."

I start to cry thinking back on what Jessica said to me, I finally cracked, she broke me.

"We need to take her to the hospital. She clearly has more than one injury. I'm definitely sure a few ribs are broken."

I pass out on the car ride there and wake up hours later in a sterile, white room. All the blood is gone, but what's left is worse. I'm bruised everywhere, from my head to my torso, all black and blue. Sean is waking up in the chair next to me.

"Good morning sis, how ya feeling?"

It's hard to speak but I manage a croak.

'I'm okay. My throat hurts and my body aches."

"Bella, you have to tell me who did this to you."

"I can't. You won't believe me, and it would make matters worse."

'Bella, we've always told each other everything, it's okay to tell me. I trust you to tell me the truth about what happened. I won't tell if you don't want me to."

"That morning there was a rumor going around school that..."

And I told him everything, from me tripping to the fries incident to them beating me up. When I finished I was terrified as to what he might say. Will he believe me? Or laugh in my face like everyone else?

"I need to go deal with this. I'll be back."

"Sean!"

And with a kiss on the forehead he left. Ten minutes later, Jenna, Nick and Darius walk into the room. Nick sets down the big teddy bear he was carrying next to me, they all sit down and stare at me expectantly.

"What?"

"So how are you?"

"I'm fine."

Jenna perks up at my answer.

"Um no. You are far from fine. Fine is not sitting in a hospital bed after getting beat up. How are you actually feeling Bella?"

I start to tear up as my emotions take over. Everything just flashes back to me at once.
