A Broken Heart

Chapter 12

I woke up in a hospital. It was very bright and I saw four people standing next to me. My mom, Frankie, Jai, and Alexa.

I slowly opened my eyes and frowned. "Where am I? What happened?"

"Ariana! Thank god you're alive!" My mom cried. "You were found outside of the school all bloody and bruised."

My memory came flooding back and I remembered everything.

"It was Nathan! Nathan and his girlfriend. They hit me and threw me to the ground" I sobbed.

"Oh Ariana. Don't be silly. Nathan went on vacation with his family. He couldn't have hurt you." My mom said.

"No mom you have to believe me. Him and his girlfriend Lisa. They hurt me," I sobbed

"Shhh Ari. It's alright," Frankie soothed. "You should get back to sleep."

---------------------------------------------

I woke up once again but I kept my eyes closed. I heard someone talking on the phone.

"No, she has this crazy idea that her ex boyfriend and his girlfriend slapped and threw her to the ground."

"I don't think therapy will help her. It's gonna make things worse and make her feel bad."

"No, I don't believe she cuts. I never saw scars."

"Betty, I don't know. We could try but it might not work."

"Okay bye."

I opened my eyes and my mom turned around and smiled. She felt my forehead and asked how I was doing.

I replied with a 'fine' and put a fake smile on my face like always. Always broken on the inside but I put a smile on my face.

---------------------------------------

I arrived to therapy with a floral dress on and light makeup. My mom convinced me to finally go. As I sat down in one of the chairs, I blushed, embarrassed. No one believes me.

Everyone thought I was lying about Nathan hurting me or thought I was just crazy.

One girl who was sitting had dark hair and dark clothes on with an angry face.

A boy who was wearing shorts and a light grey shirt played with his thumbs.

Most of the people seemed unsure or mad. How did I get here? This is not gonna help anything.

We basically just talked about ourselves and why we are sad. It was stupid and I wasn't going back.

After therapy, I walked home and went to my room. When I got up there, Jai was sitting on my bed. I screamed and dropped my bag.

"Ari! Shhh calm down!" He laughed.

I walked over to my bed and sat. "What are you doing here?" I asked. "I just wanted to come say hi." We watched a movie and laid in my bed. I fell asleep after a while and woke up in Jai's arms.

I felt so warm and soft inside. I looked up at his face. He was also asleep. His cute face twitched and I giggled. I missed him so much. I wish we never broke up.

He woke up and looked at me.

Slowly he leaned down to my face and his lips met mine. It was like magic.

We kissed and kissed until I pulled away. He brought my face to his and our noses touched.

"I'm sorry Ariana. I love you'"

"I love you too."
