A/N It has been a long time, I know, I know and I'm sorry for that. But the end of school is coming up and that means I have exams that start in about 3 days and I already learned my ass off for Latin and Greek and my dad keeps telling I need to get 50% on my Latin this year (I'm a idk-what grader in school, I'm not from America. I'm in my second year in middle school? Secondary school? Idk) Before I start telling you my boring story on here that contains half of my life I'm just going to shut myself up and let you 'enjoy' the story! I know it's short, but I wanted to give you guys something before my exams really start and I can't write at all. But vacations coming up and then I'll have more time! Byeeee!
One week later
"Hello Gabriella", the doctor said as he walked inside my hospital room.
From a week to now I still don't feel better.
I always laid on my back and that caused me to get wounds on my back, but I can't move and that makes it even worse.
The doctor came by everyday but we didn't talk much as I was in too much pain.
I looked at him and smiled a little.
"Hi", he sat on a chair next to my bed. "How are you feeling today? Any better?", he asked concerned.
I shook my head once, "No."
He smiled a little, feeling sorry for me.
"I'm sorry," he stood up again, "but I have to clean your wounds now, this will be the first time so I'm doing it.
For the next times a nurse will be doing it.
I'll tell you now, it's going to hurt."
I nodded once and asked: "What do I have to do?"
"Just try to stay as still as possible."
"OK."
As he started to get the bandages off my wounds I tried to hold my tears back and not start crying in front of my doctor, but when he actually started cleaning the first one (I have about 15-18 cuts) the tears escaped my eyes and I couldn't stand the pain anymore.
"Stop," I whispered, "please."
He immediately stopped as he saw the state I was in.
"Gabriella, are you OK?"
I shook my head and took a shaky breath as the pain got worse and the tears wouldn't stop coming.
He immediately called a nurse and stopped cleaning the wounds, for now.
When the nurse came she put some pain relieve in my IV and left again.
The doctor, I still don't know his name, put a warm wash cloth on the wound that he was cleaning and held it there.
That made the pain a little bit more bearable and I relaxed in my bed.
"I'm sorry," he spoke up, "that wasn't meant to happen. Well actually it was but still, I'm sorry. But you know I have to clean those wounds. Otherwise they can infect."
The tears stopped running from my eyes and I looked up at him worried.
"I'm sorry", he spoke again.
I nodded my head once and spoke softly, "You can go on."
He took the warm wash cloth from my wound and started to continue.
Throughout the whole cleaning process I kept myself as strong as possible but the last one was almost unbearable.
"Gabriella, this is the last one. Then it's over for a week, come on."
I closed my eyes tightly as he finished the last one.
"Good job Gabriella, you did great."
I relaxed into my bed and right now, I just wanted to go to sleep, but that wasn't his idea.
"So, maybe you can tell me a bit more about who those guys were and if you want to start a case on them. Because the neighbors described what they looked like and we can find them in the next 24 hours."
My head shot up.
All I wanted to know right know is who those guys were and why they did that.
"Do you want to start a case on them?"
He asked me. I took a deep breath.
"Can you show me what they look like? Maybe I can tell who they were."
"Of course Gabriella" ,he grabbed the pictures and showed them to me.
I looked up at the pictures and was shocked at what or who I saw.
"You recognize them? Who are they?"
I started to get tears in my eyes as he was pressuring me to say who they were.
"Gabriella, who is it? Gabriella..? Gabriella?"
The tears that I tried to hold back now escaped from my eyes.
He put the pictures down as I just stared out into space.
"Gabriella?"
The tears escaped my eyes like a waterfall and I started breathing faster as my muscles tensed up and I started shaking uncontrollably.
He sat down next to me on my bed and sat me up against the headboard even though it normally would hurt so much, I didn't feel one bit of it.
Skipping closer to me he started to try to get me back to reality by calling my name and stroking my arm.
Suddenly i stopped shaking and my muscles relax as I fell into his arms still breathing hard.
He laid me back down on the bed and called a nurse in to check me over as he want to call my parents to inform them about what just happened and that I was in a state of shock.
I stopped crying and looked up at the nurse that was now standing next to me.
"Gabriella, how are you feeling?"
"I.. i don't know.. Can I go to sleep?"
"Of course Gabriella"
I nodded and closed my eyes letting sleep take over.
