A/N: I'm sorry I haven't updated in forever… Senior year was insanely stressful... I hope you like this chapter…
"Mom… what are you… why..." I tried to keep the panic in my voice to a minimum while trying to figure out how I was gonna get help
"My baby girl was hurt and I couldn't just leave her on her own" My mom walked over to me and put her hand on my head causing me to flinch. "Don't be scared baby mommy's here" she said starting to stroke my hair. I had no way to get away or protect myself and I started to panic. My mom noticed as soon as I started shaking "what's wrong baby" she said. Tears started falling down my face and as just then as if on cue one of the nurses walked in.
"No one is allowed to be in here. The visiting hours haven't started yet" The nurse said
"I'm her mother"
"I'm sorry but no one is allowed those are the rules" The nurse said "Now if you'll follow me I can"
"I'm her mother and I'm not leaving" My mom let me go and got up to confront the nurse.
"I'm sorry but if you don't leave I will be forced to call security."
"This is my daughter I have rights and I won't leave" She looked back at me and smiled "Don't you worry Eleanor I won't leave you alone" She said. The nurse could tell my mom was a little off so she left. I hope it was to call Security. "see Eleanor everything's fine and I get to stay" She started walking back towards me and I again started to panic. Oh crap… please let that nurse come back… please let her come back please… My thoughts were interrupted by a man speaking.
"Mrs. Nash the nurse has informed me you refuse to leave. I'm sorry but you'll have to come with me" My mom stopped in her tracks and turned around to stare at the security guard
"This is my daughter I have the right to be here and be with her" my mom said and turned back towards me.
"Mrs. Nash you are not allowed to be here come with me" the security guard insisted walking towards us. My mom turned around to face him. He grabbed her arm and started pulling her towards the door. My mom fought back with all she had but thank god he was stronger than she was and she finally left the room. The nurse came towards me.
"It's ok sweetheart your mom won't be able to hurt you anymore" she told me. How did she know that? Tears started to fall down my face. I wiped them away and then I wanted an answer.
"How did you know about my mom?" I asked the nurse trying to keep myself in check.
"I overheard you talking to your friend yesterday"
"oh" an awkward silence followed until finally the nurse spoke
"I need to finish my rounds but you can go home after the doctor has looked at you today" The nurse said turning around and walking out of my room. Great… I can go… but I have no where to go
"Hey El" Marco said walking in to my room later that day.
"Hi"
"How are you feeling?" He asked and I just rolled my eyes "sorry" he muttered
"Marco my mom was here this morning and she…"
"What? When? Why didn't you call me?" he said
"Marco let me finish…. She was taken away by security… like hauled off kicking and screaming" I said putting my head in my hands
"Wow… El… that's… bad…" I just shrugged and rolled my eyes "Do they know?" I nodded slowly "Well at least now she can't hurt you anymore" I shrugged again… yeah I guess not but I have nowhere to go… either way I'm screwed I thought "Here before I forget I brought you some clothes…" Marco said snapping me out of my thoughts. I looked through what he brought me and noticed him staring at my arms. I quickly found sweatshirt and put it on finally I get to cover my arms again "Sorry" he said noticing it made me uncomfortable. I shrugged letting him know that I didn't care. We sat in silence for a long time until the doctor came in.
"Are you ready to go home Ellie?" the doctor asked a little over happy. I shrugged
"I guess" I said. He checked my pulse and heart beat and all the usual stuff. Then he checked to see how my forehead was and how my ribs were healing.
"You seem to be doing good. I think you're ready to go home but under your condition before you can go I'm required to set up a mandatory meeting for you with the psychiatrist" the doctor said exactly what I was dreading…
