Abandoned

Chapter 3

Okayyyy to all the readers so far I hope you've enjoyed it and are going to keep reading until the end. Sorry if our updates aren't regular because we are very busy with school, but we hope to post at least once or twice a week. This is one juicy opening so have fun reading. 

Owen Blackbourne's POV

Mr. Morgan came to get me, saying there was an emergency. I wondered what could be so important unless there was a fight or something serious. I burst into the Nurses office to see a beautiful girl sitting on a bed, looking very ill. I shouldn't have got distracted staring at her; it was most unlike me. I snapped back to reality to see Mr. Taylor Sr signing to her, before she passed out. I ran over to Dr Green and he immediately started taking her clothes off to check for any other injuries. He made sure he covered her with a blanket. Before he did that, my eyes were being deceived. Her body was so captivating, but then I noticed her bones and her skin. I could see all of her bones through her skin. She wasn't eating enough. I was then drawn to the burns on her frail body. My brothers were also looking at the same things until Sean decided to tell them to move to the other side and pull the curtain. I said, "how?

Sean replied, "I don't know, do you think-"

I cut him off with, "No, surely not this bad," I recognized this. No, it was all to familiar. The malnutrition, the burns, the throat. No, this was worse. I couldn't re-live this. I couldn't see this happen to someone else. I watched my Father kMy thoughts were disrupted by Gabriel shouting, "yes, it is this fucking bad"

"Gabriel, language!" I snapped. I never used first names for my brothers, but in this moment, seeing this girl broken just made medo it. 

They all seemed fascinated by her, I was too.

I got snapped out of my thoughts when I heard Sean say "Sang, can you hear me?" she just nodded and tried to cover herself with the blanket. She was embarrassed. We had embarrassed her. He then said "do you feel okay?" she then signed, and Luke translated for her "she says she's fine". Sean obviously didn't Think she was because he persisted and said "tell me how you're really feeling" she did a bit more signing and Luke said "she says her throat is a bit sore but otherwise its fine and she can't tell you what happened to her throat because she know you were going to ask." smart girl, in most cases I would be impressed but right now I just wanted to know the truth.

When Sean asked me to talk to her with his eyes, I pushed everyone out of the way and went to stand near her. "alright boys I'm going to have a quick chat with Miss... Sorenson" She finger spells it out, which is good for me because I know the alphabet in sign language. 

" the rest of you should all go back to your lessons." I commanded. It looked like some of them were going to protest so I gave them all a sharp look and watched them all leave the office.

Sang Sorenson's POV

When I woke up, I tried to remember what happened. Before I could do that though I was questioned on how I felt. No one had ever asked me that before. I blushed at the sight of all these eyes on me and tried to cover myself with the blanket. I told them I was fine and then they guy in the suit told them to go back to lessons. I was left alone with him. Was he going to rape me now? I was terrified. He bought his finger to my chin, slowly tipping my head up towards him, So I was looking into his eyes. They were a steel grey. I wanted to look away. "Miss Sorenson, it's okay" he said. It was happening he was going to do it. He kept his eyes focused on me and continued, " I'm Mr Blackbourne and I want to help you, can you please let me do that?"

I shook my head and wrote on the paper you can't help me.

"Why not?" His voice becoming more commanding like I did something wrong.

Because I am too broken to be fixed, no one can. Not you, not me, not anyone. My hands shook as I wrote, but it was true. I was broken. My mother broke me.

"That isn't true," he says gently. It was though. I pull his hand away from my face, stand up shakily and walk out of the room, heading to the toilets. I ignored his pleads of come back.

I was going to run to the bathroom stall, but instead I bumped into a teacher. "Why are you out of class?" he asks. I was going to get into trouble. 

"Sorry" I manage to force out, my cracking sounding horrible. He pulled a face, he didn't believe me. I prepared for the punishment.

"Why are you sorry?" He says.

"Because" I try to say, but my voice wouldn't work. I sigh and get the paper out to write I lost my voice.

"I think you need to come with me," he speaks after reading the note. He beckons for me to follow him, so I do. Until I see we're going in the direction of the nurses office, but it was too late he had opened the door and Mr Blackbourne and Dr Green were standing there in conversation but turned towards me. 

"Mr Weiland?" Mr Blackbourne questions.

"Sang?" Dr Green follows on.

"You know her?" Mr Weiland says.

"Yes" they both respond at the same time and exchange looks. I started shaking, I needed to leave. I couldn't be here. I turned to leave.

Mr Blackbourne shouts out, "Ms Sorenson come back." It sounded like an order. Who was this man? I slowly turn around and I could feel their eyes in me. "don't leave again, we only want to help you." He continues. I nod, giving in. I started crying, I couldn't keep it in any longer. Mr Blackbourne comes over and pulls me onto a bed, telling me it was going to be ok. It wasn't. I was too tired to fight back, so I just curled up in a ball and cried even more.

Marc Weiland's POV 

This little girl that I just bumped into knew Mr Blackbourne and Sean. Why did they know all the pretty girls. More importantly, what was wrong with her. She was sitting here in front of me crying. I make eye contact with Sean, who basically tells me to come away. Once she had drifted of to sleep I say, "What was that?"

"That was a broken girl" Mr Blackbourne states expressionless.

"How are we going to help her if she won't let us?" Sean says.

"You can't, you just have to give her time" Mr Blackbourne replies.

"So we just get to know her and ignore the fact there is something really wrong here?" I question.

"Yes," Mr Blackbourne answers.

I didn't like Owen's idea, but he was the boss and knew what was best for the girl, so I listened to him.  I told him that we needed to have a family meeting and he agreed which is why my whole team is now standing in and office that is only meant to fit seven people.

"Mr. Blackbourne why are we here?" Kota questions. 

"we are here because of the girl that most of you met earlier called Sang Sorenson." Mr. Blackbourne replied, titters broke out at his statement before he silenced them with a look. "before any of you ask, we have not found out what the problem is. For now, I would like you to get close to her, try and get her to tell you the truth about what is happening but do not force it out of her. If I get wind of one of you being unfair or making her uncomfortable you will be in serious trouble. Any questions?" there is a moment of silence before the shouting starts.

"when can I meet her"

"what does she look like, is she pretty?"

"what the fuck do you mean 'her home life'?"

"she was fucking coughing up fucking blood, she needs to tell us now if she doesn't want to get hurt!"

I zoned out until I heard a blood curdling scream coming from the nurses office.

Sorry this chapter is very short, we had some WIFI issues and couldn't write for a couple of days. We hope to update soon with a much longer chapter ��

Thanks for reading :)
