Lola-Leigh (Tracy Beaker Returns Liam o'Donovan love story)

Chapter 5

I slowly start to open my eyes. White walls. An IV drip. A needle in my hand? What the fuck?

'Lola? Lola-Leigh? Can you hear me?' I can see two woman infront of me, both wearing uniforms and both fussing with the machinery attached to me. My whole body aches. Everything looks blurry. I'm so confused. Where Am I?

'Lola your in hospital, you were attacked last night and your friend Lexi phoned you an ambulance, do you remember?' I shake my head abruptly, slowly adjusting to the bright lights. Attacked? 'Your stable now, but you've been unconscious for a few hours. Your injuries will heal. Would you like me to let your care workers in?'

And that's when I remember. Rick. I lied to Gina so I could go and meet Rick. What an idiot I've been! And what a fucking bastard. He's beaten me before but, to put me in hospital? That's next level. That's almost as low as when I lived with my Da-.

'LOLA! THANK GOD YOUR ALRIGHT!' Gina and Tracie burst into my room. I smile vaguely, and begin to sit up. 'Don't strain yourself too much babes, you've got a nasty stab wound on your side.'

I take a gulp. A STAB wound. Rick STABBED me?

'Lola, who did you go and meet last night hmph?' Gina questions me, taking my hand in her grasp. I sigh. I can't grass. 'I can't remember,' I lie.

'Well, what do you remember?' Tracie begins her search, with a familiar look of suspicion I had seen just yesterday night. I take a deep breath. If I grass Rick up, he will come back and Finnish the job off. If I don't, I need to think of an excuse for why I'm here with Lexi.

'All I remember I erm.. walking down the street and this big tall man came up to me with a knife and started begging me and Lexi for a shag and stuff and he said if Lexi said no he would stab her so I stood in the way to protect her and he grabbed me and the , yeah.'

The room falls silent. I take another DEEP breath. Thank fuck for that.

'So, a random man came up to you... where was Liam?' Gina looks at me puzzled. I falter.

'Look I lied and Liam covered for me, I was really meeting Lexi. I'm really sorry!' She rubs my shoulder and gives me a look of disappointment, but it soon passes.

'Babes, I'm just glad your ok.'

Tracie doesn't look as convinced. They keep me reciting the same story over and over again, picking up on any new details like what the man was wearing, what time it happened and loads of other bullshit that really doesn't matter if you ask me. I had to recite it to Suzanne, the police and even Mike when he arrived. And now there's a search party out there looking for a man who doesn't even fucking exist. Im in such a mess.
