Saving The Broken

Chapter 9

I quickly ripped my arm away from the lady and went to move off the bed. I landed on my feet and held my shoulder with my right hand as I hissed at the pain, this was gonna hurt like a bitch. I backed into a corner and watched them all with wild eyes, I didn't want them anywhere near me anymore. Thanks for patching me up -I actually think the bullet was still in my shoulder- but it's time I take my leave. I was close to the door and quickly ran for it

"Wait honey stop!" The lady yelled, but I wasn't gonna stop. I headed for the front door and before I could push it open I felt arms wrap around my waist

"Stop" I kept thrashing in his arms "Come on stop, your gonna hurt yourself more" I didn't listen I just kept trying

"Keep her arm as still as you can!" Someone yelled and I felt hands grab my right arm and then something prick my skin

"Just stop!" Slowly I collapsed in their arms and my eyes shut. Not how this was meant to happen

I opened my eyes quickly and turned my head, I was back in the room where the lady started to patch me up. I went to move only to realize I was restricted by hand cuffs on both my arms. They had me clipped to the sides of the bed, really? I tried to see if I could slip my tiny arms out of the cuff, but had no luck. I thrashed around and a loud beeping sound started blaring. People soon rushed in

"Wow, wow, chill out" one of the nurses came near me. 

'No stay away' is what I wanted to yell

"Hold her down" it was the lady from earlier "Come on kid, it's fine. We're not gonna hurt you, but you're going to end up hurting yourself" she jammed another needle in my arm and soon I just relaxed

"God, what's happened to this girl?" The nurse looked at me with pity

"That's for her to tell, only she knows" the lady answered "Ok honey we're gonna start over ok?" I just watched them unable to move

"Hey it's ok" the nurse said in a soft voice

"My names Marcy, this is Ellie" she pointed at the nurse "We just want to help you, your safe here. No one can hurt you" I've heard that before

I stared at her with accusing eyes then shifted them to my arms, safe my ass. I looked back up to her and she had a sad look on her face, I don't need their pity. I knew I look horrible, ugly, I knew I did. I knew the scars looked ugly, the bruises not any better, but I couldn't feel a thing. Nothing hurt. I wonder what they did with Lisa and Jim, I know I'm not meant to care, but I'm curious

'what happened?'

"They are there so that you don't hurt yourself or anyone here. I know this must be knew, but I need you to trust me" 

'trust? You can't trust anyone. It's like playing with fire, you always get burned when you touch fire'

"What's your name?" The nurse asked and I of course said nothing "You can tell us, your ok" I turned my eyes to the ceiling

"I think she's had it worser then we thought" it sounded like Ashley

"Worser isn't a word Ash" Marcy said turning to her "You get anything from her parents?" She asked

"Not much" 

'so they were still alive, damn'

 "Only a name and age. They screamed and cursed when we told them she was still alive"

"Also where she goes to school" Mesa appeared

"Well what's her name?

"She's seventeen, her name is Gracie Castoff"

"She goes to the same school as us, but I've never seen her around"

I started getting a feeling back in my body and turned my head to the window opposite of the women near me. I could hear them talking about why they didn't recognize me, because I'm the ghost girl. That's why, of course they won't know that unless they use there brains. I'm hopping they won't find out, it would ruin me. People would know who I am and then I would be hurt. I just knew it

"I'm having Nash run her name through the schools database as we speak" I snapped my head to the door. No

I could feel my hands and I started moving them while shaking my head no. They can't, I won't let them. Marcy was by my side in seconds and reached for my right hand. I grabbed hers and with a pleading look I shook my head no, I don't want them to know who I am. I don't want to be here. My grip tightened around her wrist, I was kind of strong, but not by much.
