again. My body is as treacherous and deceptive as the bastard lying next to me. How could I enjoy this ? How could my body enjoy this ? I have come to the conclusion that I am as sick as he is.
I’m-Going-To-Hell!!!
Chapter 3
Beep----Beep---Beep---Beep----Beep
“Where am I?”
“Amber, Amber babe, open your eyes.”
I slowly open my eyes to reveal a stark white room. I tried to move, but the sharp pain in my arm advised me against that. After a few moments to adjust to my surroundings I lifted my arm to find a tube attached to it. I followed that tube until my eyes caught sight of my mother. Relief, doesn’t begin to describe the look on her face.
Beep, Beep---Beep, Beep----Beep, Beep---Beep, Beep
My heart is threatening to jump out of my chest. What the hell is going on?
“Amber, calm down love.” Mom said.
“What’s going on mom?” Tears started trailing down my face. I was scarred, disoriented and the last thing that I remember is……
“ NOOOO…MOM WHAT DID I DO? WHAT DID I DO? WHAT-DID-I-DO ?”
I was yelling at the top of my lungs by this point. Hysterical, doesn’t explain my frame of mind at this juncture in time. Whatever machine they had me hooked to confirm it. The damn thing beeped non-stop and the sounds coming from the machine were loud, which drove me over the edge.
“Sandra, get the doctor , now !”
I could barely make out my dad’s face through the tears. I could barely make out his voice through my screams. I knew my mother would leave me in the room on his command. I hear her feet shuffling across the floor and the door clicking shut as my dad approach my bed.
“Please stop crying babe, it’s alright. Calm down.” He said in a soothing voice. He leans over the bed and with the gentlest of touch started to wipe the tears from my face.
“What happened dad? Why am I in the hospital?” I managed to ask through the sobs and my uncontrollable hiccups. His voice was so soothing when he responded.
“I went to the school after you were admitted to the hospital. You have been unconscious for three days, Amber. The principal stated that Alicia approached you with accusations of sleeping with her boyfriend.” His voice was deceptively calm, but I knew better.
The monitors went wild as he finished his last sentence. I started to respond, I was masterfully silenced as he placed his manicured finger across my lips.
“Amber, from what your principal has gathered from the other students, Alicia threatened to kill you. One minute Alicia had you pinned to the locker the next, your both unconscious.” He took this moment to bend down and kiss my forehead. He started to run his fingers through my hair.
“Alicia has a broken jaw, broken nose and she received stitches to close the gash on her lip. Her parents wanted to file charges against you. I’M THE BEST FUCKING LAWYER IN TIMBER FALLS! If, they thought I would stand for that, they were wrong! That bitch threatened you… my baby…she was the instigator. I have plenty of witnesses to prove that point. They would never win their case. I informed them that it is my right to file charges on their goddamned daughter! Food for fucking thought - because they called yesterday to tell me that their daughter was in the wrong. They will not be filing
