The Butler's Neighbour.

She's Seizing!

Arias P.O.V
I can hear a voice. I can't make out what it's saying. I can't see anything but darkness all around me. I take a step forward and feel myself falling. I reach out and try to grab something; instead I start to feel really dizzy. Something's pulling at my chest! I can't breath. I try to gasp for air but it's not working. I see something really bright in my right eye. I try to close my eyes but it goes in my other eye. I start to shake and I'm hearing voices again. I still can't breath and I'm freaking out!
Shays P.O.V
I'm currently sitting in a hallway at the hospital waiting for Aria to wake up. After that man whacked her over the head with his beer bottle I rushed over and yelled at him for hitting her! He yelled back mumbled curse words then slammed his door in my face. I actually didn't see him hit her but it was pretty obvious because she was lying on the ground holding her head with a shattered beer bottle next to her. I would have gone after that ignorant man but I called an ambulance instead to help Aria sense she was passed out on the floor. I may not know her other then her first name and she always looks terrified whenever she's around people(Specially men) but there's something about her that makes me concerned for her safety. She needs help and I want to be the one who helps her.
A doctor already went in and saw Aria. He came out and told me she may have a touch of short memory loss and slight stuttering in her speech for 5-7 days. He told me they're going to give her some drug to reduce her pain for when she wakes up sense she'll have a really bad headache. He said she should wake up in about 10 minutes. He said that 20 minutes ago. A nurse just went into her room so I guess she's getting that pain medication now. I really should get back to the apartment to get some work done but I want to wait for her to wake up. I need to make sure she's ok.
I hear something going on in her room. Maybe she's finally awake! I get up to peak my head in to see how she's doing but instead I see her freaking out gasping for air. I see the nurse flash a light in her eyes then grab something to give her oxygen. She seems to be calming down. But then I hear her heart monitor beeping faster and faster.
"What's happening to her?!" I say while running in the room.
"I NEED HELP!" yells the nurse. A few doctors charge in the room pushing me back. Aria starts shaking uncontrollably as the doctors take over and the first nurse from before leads me out of the room shutting the door behind her.
"What's happening in there? Will she be ok?!"
"Calm down sir, she will be fine!" Says the nurse.
"I gave her some pain reliever for when she woke up to help with the headache she would have but she seemed to be allergic to that." She explained "From the allergic reaction and the loss of oxygen from her brain caused her to have a seizure. we will have to do a blood test just to make sure she's ok and check for anything that may be a concern but she will be fine. Oh and by looking at her arms and stomach it looks like she's being abused."
Arias P.O.V
I open my eyes to see I'm in a hospital bed. I jolt up and look around. I can hear my heart monitors beeps going faster but what if my father got caught. The next time he sees me I won't be waking up! A nurse walks in the room and stands at the end of my bed.
"Hello Aria how are you feeling?" She asks.
"I h-have a bad headache"
"Ok. That's understandable. Aria, do you remember why your here."
"Uhhhhh" come to think of it I don't. All I have is a killer headache. What would cause that? A good whack in the head by my dad but I don't remember anything that would have happened. "I have n-no clue."
"That alright Hun. You hit your head pretty hard. Your neighbour Shay found you lying outside your apartment door. You knocked yourself out for a good few hours. I gave you some pain killers for when you woke up but you had an allergic reaction which caused the seizure. No need to worry your ok now. Shay is here to see you. You should be resting but he seems very concerned. I'll let it slid if you'd like to talk to him. But only for 10 minutes." The nurse explained. I really should stay away from him. Why does he always seem to keep showing up in my life. I must be out of my mind but I almost want to talk to him.
"Ya. Okay." I say.
"I'll bring him in." The nurse walked out of my room and a few seconds later Shay came in and sat in a chair beside my bed.
"W-what happened?" I asked.
"You tell me." He shot back.
Shays P.O.V
"You tell me." I shot back. What was I thinking! She's lying in a hospital bed because her dad knocked her out! She stared back at me wide eyed. She looks like she could break down any second. "I'm sorry." I apologize. "I'm just a bit confused on what happened too."
"Do you know a-anything about why I'm in I'm the the hospital?" She stuttered. Wow shes really having trouble speaking.
"Well..." I say "I seen you walk up to your apartment door. I'm guessing you didn't have your key on you because you started knocking on the door..."
"W-why weren't you in your apartment?" She cut in.
"I lost my keys to my apartment. I guess we had the same situation!"
She gave me a weak smile. "So anyways, you couldn't find you key so you knocked on the door. I was on the phone sorting out my lost key problems so, you know.. I wasn't paying attention to you. The next thing I knew you were on the ground and that-that man..."
"W-what? What is it?"
"Did he do this to you?" I gently say. She looks away from me staring off at nothing. A single tear falls from her face.
"Yes." She says in barely a whisper.
"How long." I ask
I see more tears falling. She try's to wipe them away with the hospital blanket that's now all twisted up to her body but they keep falling.
"6 years."
I look at her arms that are hiding under the blankets. I reach for them but she flinches back.
"Let me see Aria." I say. I reach for them again and hold her arm in my hands. I can't believe this is happening right now. They are full of all different kinds of scars. Burns, cuts, fresh, old, deep...I need her to open up to me. I want to help her. In a way she reminds me of avia. They're face looks exactly the same when they give attitude, and when they get scared or worried their eyes look the same. They both also have straight brown beautiful hair and brown eyes. They even have similar names. This makes it even sadder. I couldn't imagine Avia having this many scars. She looked away from me. I felt a few tears run down my face. She looked at me again. There was so much pain in her eyes. She looked away again.
"Did you do this to yourself?" I manage choke out.
"Yes." She whispers
I look down at the floor thinking about this for a moment.
"Why?" I ask.
There was a long pause of silence. This was a lot. Why is she even letting me do this? She doesn't even know me! She looks up at me staring for a few seconds.
"I can't deal with all the pain in my life. Sometimes I get disconnected from reality and the only way to snap me back is this. When stuff bothers other people they usually just talk about it or write it down in a diary and they're all better. Well I use my skin as my diary. It's better to focus on the pain on my arm then the pain in my head.
