Beli's POV

As soon as my eyes shoots open, all I could see was nothing but blurs.

I bring my hands up to rub my eyes to adjust my eyesight.

"You're awake" mother says unamused.

I look at her, I could see her clearly. I then looked around the room, I'm in a hospital.

"What am I doing here?" I ask not remembering a thing.

"You passed out"

I suddenly remembered what father did to me. I grab the hem of the blanket and look down.

Both of my legs were still there. Except they look different, they were bruised.

I look at the rest of my body, they were all the same.

"Mother what did you do to me?" I ask as my voice shakens.

"What you deserved" she says so coldly.

"Tell me!" I shout.

"Marco beat the shit out of you and was about to cut you to pieces with a chainsaw but I stopped him" she sighs annoyed with my attitude.

My heart races, mum looks at the heart monitor.

"Why is your heart beating to damn fast?"

"H-he was ab-about to kill m-e?" I pant.

"Yes, and? I was about to kill you myself"

One of the nurses came and smiled as soon as she saw me, "you're awake, I'm Trinity I've been taking care of you, how are you feeling?"

"Angry, scared and confused"

She looks at mother, mother gave her no emotions, just a shrug. The nurse looks back at me, "how come?"

"Sweetie, don't tell her" mother immediately says.

"Can you please hop out of the room so I could speak to the patient?" She asks mother.

"Whatever, fucking hate her anyways"

As soon as mother left, the nurse sat at where mother was sitting.

"Are you getting abused at home?" She looks intensely into my eyes.

"No" I was quick to answer. Too quick that she knew I was lying.

"Beli, is it?"

I nod.

"I know that I'm a stranger to you and all but I need to know. Your mum nor your dad told us what happened. They just bought you here all passed out"

"So can you please tell me the truth?"

I start to shake, "yes"

"By who? Mum? Dad? Both?

"Father verbally and physically. Mother isn't as bad but she sometimes would verbally abuse me" I cry.

"Hey it's okay, I'll report this to child support and they can help you, okay?" She rubs my back.

I nod, "what are they going to do to them?"

"Depends"

"How old are you?" She then asks.

"18"

"They'll probably send you off on your own house or apartment, and with your parents they'll either keep them on house arrest or prison. Again, it really depends" she tells me.

"Okay... am I allowed to live with someone?" I ask.

"Of course, do you know anyone who'd love for you to crash at their place?"

I could suggest Queenie but I don't want to be a bother. I know Logan has space for me in his house but he's too rich for me. Maybe Caleb would have me over? Oh wait his parents are too strict...

I then thought of the perfect person.

"He's kind of my teacher but he's a very kind man" I finally answer.

"Okay, I can check him out to see if he's suitable. What's his name?"

"Rhett McLaughlin"

"Oh! He's a friend of mine, he'd be perfect! I'll send him an email about all this" She smiles.

"Okay, thanks"
