(Still Flashback)
Lawrence walked over to Lucas in a very dangerous manner and loomed ominously above him.
Lucas attempted to reason with his father even though 99.9 per cent of the time it didn't work. "Please Dad don't. I didn't know she would still feel like that," Lucas said, literally shaking like a pneumatic drill.
Lawrence lifted Lucas up by his arms and smashed his back into the wall, causing Lucas to gasp.
"I told you she wouldn't want you didn't I?" Lawrence shouted as he punched Lucas in the stomach. The blow hit hard and Lucas doubled over as much as he could in his father's grip, gasping for breath.
Lawrence then pulled his hand back and punched Lucas in the face. Lucas tried to dodge the blow but it caught him square on the nose, causing blood to run freely from it. "That was for making me waste my time calling that woman!" Lawrence said dropping Lucas on the floor.
Lawrence stepped back and proceeded to kick Lucas in the ribs several times, causing Lucas to gasp after each impact. "Those were for making me face that bitch again!" Lawrence screamed at him.
Lawrence again picked Lucas up, walked over to the stairs and threw Lucas down them after saying; "And this is for not listening to me. again!"
Lucas tumbled down the stairs breaking his right leg and left arm in the process.
Lucas lay sprawled at the bottom of the staircase, half-conscious. Lawrence marched angrily down the stairs; again he picked Lucas up, shoved him against the wall and leaned in close to him. "Now, repeat after me; I will go to the seaQuest. I will not argue."
Seeing the look in his father's eyes, he knew he had no choice but to comply. "I will go to the seaQuest. I will not argue." Lucas said quietly.
Lawrence smiled, a very rare thing for him and said; "Good boy. Now, when the paramedics get here and when you're at the hospital, what are you going to say to them when they ask you what happened?"
Lucas looked at his father "It was an accident, I tripped on the stairs and I fell."
"Very good, you're a good learner, with the right teaching, aren't you?" With that said Lawrence dropped Lucas on the floor and rang for an ambulance.
End Of Flashback:
'Well that's how I got myself here' Lucas thought. "Not for the first time either." He whispered sadly.
About ten minutes later a doctor, in his mid-fifties with greying hair, walked into the room wearing a white lab coat and carrying a stethoscope.
"Good morning Lucas, how do you feel today?" the doctor questioned.
"My arm and ribs are better, but my leg is killing me." Lucas replied truthfully.
"Well, we'll increase your pain medication for that. Now, I must check your breathing to make sure everything is really okay. Lucas allowed the doctor to take the thin hospital gown down to expose his chest. He then placed the end of the stethoscope in the various necessary positions. "Breathe in, breathe out, in and out." The doctor instructed.
The doctor completed his checks and moved the gown back up over Lucas' shoulders. "Well young man, you're nicely on the mend. We'll probably be able to discharge you in about three days. Since you can't use crutches yet, you'll have to go home in a wheelchair, and since you will probably be bed-ridden at home, you'll have to ask your father to help you."
Lucas immediately started breathing heavily and his eyes widened 'Great I'll be in his clutches and helpless, just great!' Lucas thought dejectedly. He quickly calmed himself down. He didn't want to create a scene and risk giving hints about how he really fell down those stairs.
"Who will be collecting you?" The doctor asked, unaware of Lucas' actions.
"Either my father or his chauffer," Lucas said calmly.
"I'll call him when we are sure when we can discharge you. Now, lie back and rest. The more you rest, the sooner you can get out of here and back to your dad and your nice, comfortable home." The doctor said cheerfully.
'Comfortable, yeah right!' Lucas thought miserably.
Lucas did as he was told and the doctor injected some painkiller into Lucas' IV line. With the aid of the drowsiness created by the painkiller, Lucas fell asleep.
The doctor looked at the sleeping boy, walked over to him and tucked the sheets tighter around him for extra comfort. He then wrote something on Lucas' chart and walked out of the room, closing the door quietly behind him.
