The Abused Gymnast

Part 7

I wake up in what I think is the ambulance, cuz it is loud and bumpy

Ella-

"Ahhhhh" (I kinda whisper)

My head hurts so bad

I'm so scared. He said if I go to the hospital, I will get the worst beating of my life

Suddenly I can't breathe and my vision is blurring

Oh no I'm having another panic attack

Mac-

"Hi sweetie, my name is Mac, we are here to help you ok? Take deep breaths for me, you won't get hurt by them again. Follow my breathing, you are so strong!!"

My breathing goes back to normal and I realize that I am in a blanket

Mac-

"Good, good. Do you know your name?"

Ella-

"Ummm"

Mac-

"Come on, I need you to try really hard!"

Ella-

"Ummm oh Ella"

Mac-

"Good job Ella. Do you know how old you are?"

Ella-

"In between 12 and 14 I think. I've never really known."

Mac-

"Ok I need you to tell me what hurts so we can fix it"

Ella-

"Everything feels like it's on fire. It really hurts ma'am."

Mac-

"Thanks and you can call me Mac ok?"

Ella-

"O- ok Mac are they gonna make me go back?"

Mac-

"No, no you are safe now ok?"

Ella-

"Ok"

I start to close my eyes and sleep

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I wake up in a bed with a loud beeping noise all around

I noticed a lot of male doctors around me. Even though I know they're here to help me, I can't help but be terrified

I scoot to the corner of the bed and I start shaking so much. What if they are like the men who raped me?!

Hospital worker-

"Hey hey it's ok"

One of the doctors tries to touch me and I scoot farther away from him

Hospital worker-

"Someone page Mac"

They stay writing on their clipboards for a few minutes and then Mac comes in

Mac-

"Hi Ella I'm gonna need you to lay down. Is it okay if I help you?"

I hesitantly nod

She helps me lay down. I flinch and wince with every movement I make.

Mac-

"Ok good. Ella we need to take your gown off to see the damage under ok?"

I nod I feel like I can't talk

She carefully takes off my gown and all my burns are visible. I don't have large breasts at all actually. I barely have anything there, but I bought myself a few bras with money I got from doing private lessons with kids.

Mac eyes widened and quickly go normal

Mac-

"We need the pain meds ASAP"

I pull on Mac's shirt and she leans down

Mac-

"Yes honey?"

Ella-

"I'm scared and my head hurts from the loud beeping."

Mac-

"Ohh sweetie I'm sorry. That heart monitor needs to stay here so we know your heart is still working"

"Follow my finger with your eyes ok? Can you do that for me?"

She starts moving her finger around in front of me but whenever I move my eyes they hurt. I try harder and suddenly it goes away.

Everything goes away even the beeping
