chapter 2: beauty and the freak.
A/N: this one is super short. like, reallllly short. it won't be a regular thing. It's an explanation for what happened during the fall.
*beep, beep, beep*
stupid alarm clock.
*Beep, beep*
I groaned and rolled over in my. . . chair?
I bolted upright. The smell of bleach, rubber, and *shudder* blood hit my nostrils. Gross.
Hospital.
I can't believe that after everything I went through at The School I could even sleep in there. It wasn't even an alarm clock that woke me up. It was Her heart monitor.
I went to all this trouble to cover for her dad, cover for me, and take care of her, and I didn't even know the girl's name.
I stole a glance at her medical records. Lena. Lean Cartwright. I also noticed that she had a dislocated shoulder, a broken arm and collarbone, three broken ribs, and two fractures on her right leg. Even being caught by a human at that speed will seriously damage you. It hurt me too, but not nearly as bad. After I called 911 I flew (luckily, my wings didn't get hurt,) to Dr. Martinez's house. She put my arm in a sling and my left wrist in a cast. Now, two days later, I'm totally healed.
Lena. She looked pretty when she slept. Lucky she wasn't hurt worse. A miracle actually, that's what the doctor had said. When I caught her, I dropped a couple hundred feet to absorb the impact. Everybody thinks she fell in a 10 foot deep pool, and because she was limp it didn't affect her as much. Technically, she still should have died from it, either that or drowned going into the pool. But coincidentally, I was out for my morning run when I saw her go in and hurried to pull her out.
She hadn't woken up since EMS brought her here. She was quickly given anesthesia for the pain and so that they could operate on her. One of the broken ribs had punctured a lung.
I looked at her and cringed. I didn't even know her, and I hated myself for putting her through this much pain. However, I'm also glad to see her alive, so it all kinda balances out.
The biggest problem is that nobody can find out where her dad is, and not even I can come up with an explanation for that.
A/N: so that's it! sorry again for it being that short. please reviewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!
