~~~Lea's POV~~~
I wake up at 9:30. I look around when I saw a nurse coming in, she smiled at me and said, "You will be leaving today at 12." She leaves and waves to me. I wave back, unsure of what just happened. I look around and I saw I can leave in 2 1/2 hours.
Another nurse came in with my breakfast. It was crappy pancakes that tasted like cardboard with sugary syrup and butter. There was hash browns as well with packets of ketchup near. There was metal utensils. Idiots. I reached out to grab the knife. The officer snatched all of the metal utensils and gave me 2 plastic spoons.
"What the fuck?" I say as I held the two plastic spoons towards the guard.
"Why did you give me two fucking plastic spoons for god damn pancakes." I say and glared at the officer.
He shrugged. "It's required for 5150s."
"Can you give me a damn plastic fork and knife instead?"
He shook his head and raised an eyebrow at me. "Watch your language Missy."
I glare at him. "I tried to take my own fucking life shut your damn mouth." I growled. He was wide eyed and became silent. I scoff and took a bite of my pancakes. I gagged and nearly threw up. I spat out the chewed food onto my plate. I chuckled I remembered when I ate then threw up my food or never ate. Memories. I go try the hash browns. They tasted like plastic and rubber. I spit that out. Annabelle made great food. If father didn't kill her. She would be here with me. I wouldn't be here. Why am I so weak. It's been 10 years why am I so stupid and weak. She isn't going to come back. Why am I so picky, they made this for me and I am just ungrateful to them. Why am I living. Why am I bothering everyone. I... I miss Bruno and Annabelle. I miss Bruno.. Tears began to form in my eyes. They slowly crept out and began to slide down my cheeks. I began to cry. "Bruno... Bruno..." I wailed. The officer looked at me. "Brunooo... Brunoooo.." I continued to wail. I wanted his arms around me. I wanted to kiss my forehead and tell me everything is going to be alright. Bruno did what Annabelle always did when I cried. Annabelle would hug me, her hand on my head as she pushed my head into her chest. It made me feel so safe. I began to sob heavily. I gasp for air and sobbed. I began to scream for Annabelle. "ANNABELLE!!! ANNABELLE!!! ANNABELLE WHERE ARE YOU?! ANNABELLE COME BACK PLEASE. ANNABELLE!!!!!!" I ran out to the hallways " Annabelle pourquoi .. Pourquoi avez-vous me laisser Annabelle ?! Se il vous plaît revenir à moi. Tu me manque. Père frappe mère et moi, je ai mal Annabelle Je blesser se il vous plaît revenir. Je voulais être avec vous. Annabelle je meurs.. Je meurs!!!! Annabelle!!!!" (Translations: Annabelle why.. Why did you leave me Annabelle?! Please come back to me. I miss you. Father hits mother and I. I'm hurting Annabelle I'm hurting please come back. I wanted to be with you. Annabelle I'm Dying. I'm dying!!!! Annabelle!!!)
I fell to my knees and sobbed. I wanted Annabelle back. I wanted Bruno to be with me. I heard the security guard call to the front desk to get Bruno and bring him here to calm me down. He also told them to bring my parents. I look at the security guard. He hugged me and brought me to my bed.
"Don't worry sweetheart your parents will be here soon." He smiles softly and held onto my hand, trying to assure me. My eyes went wide when I heard my parents were coming.
"No... No no no no. NO NO NOO!!!!!" I screamed. I began to hold my head, my knees to my chest and began to sob profusely. I was shaking I didn't know what to do when my parents will come. Minutes later the officer said I had a visitor.
I quickly look over to see Bruno. I sigh and held onto him. I cried into his chest. I held onto him tightly, glad to see him. He hugged me and held my head. He kissed my fore head. "It's okay its okay Bella. You're with me I won't let anything happen to you." He assured me. I kissed him. He kissed back. I break apart when I see a man at the door. The man was very tall. Bruno turned around to see the man. I looked frightened. "Shh shh shh. Its my dad." He assured and calmed me down. His dad walked towards me and gave me a hug, I hugged back.
I suddenly stumbled back. I was shaking, I began to cry. It was my drunken father. "WATCH IT YOU BITCH." He pushed Bruno out of the way. The security guard left when Bruno came to give us privacy. I backed up, I was crawling backwards into the wall. I tried to escape but failed. Bruno's dad was mad at my father. Bruno angrily walked towards my dad when suddenly. My dad hit me in with his whiskey bottle. I fell to the floor. Crying in pain and held onto my eye where he hit. He began to kick me in the stomach and ribs. I groaned in pain and cried. He punched me and was about to when Bruno pushed him off of me. I was crying on the floor. I couldn't breathe it hurt too much to move. I was shaking, clutching onto my stomach. I threw up. I got a cut above my eyebrow on my scalp.
Everything was blurry. All I saw before I saw darkness was Bruno running to me and holding me while he stroked my head. I held onto his hand. I looked behind him to see his father punching my dad then calling security. My head rested on his lap. He grimaced at the broken glass from the bottle of whiskey. Then everything went black.
I wake up with a massive head ache. I sat up then suddenly gasped and groaned at the pain in my rib cage and stomach. I look over to see Bruno on my bed, sleeping at my feet. I smiled. I wiggled my toes, trying to wake him up. He had bandages on his legs. He woke up from my toes wiggling. He smiled and stood up. He groaned and held onto his legs. I gasped and reached over, ignoring the pain in my chest and stomach. He held my hand and smiled. I smile back. "What happened?" I ask him and he sat upright on my bed. "Your father came in and began to hit you. I fought him and got this nasty thing." He chuckled and pointed at his black eye. He continued on, "He hit you with a whiskey bottle and the bottle broke. My dad umm. Handled your father as I ran to you. I fell to my knees on the broken glass to hold you." He smiled. I had tears in my eyes. Bruno saw my father. Bruno's dad entered in. He also had a black eye and a cut lip. I gasp and hid my face with my hands.
"I'm so sorry. You guys shouldn't have been there. My dad beats my mom and I.. He... He's an alcoholic and my mom does heroin. My older sister went on a drove with my dad and she didn't know he was drinking. They got into a car crash and... And.." I couldn't finish when I started to cry again. I sobbed and shook my head. "Annabelle.. Died. Because of that monster.." I cried and held onto Bruno. "My name is Gilbert, you can call me Gil.. Bruno talks about you a lot. Mein gott why how can someone beat their own children?" Bruno's dad sighed. Bruno brought a chair over and sat next to me as Bruno sat on my bed.
