Bursting through the hospital doors I ran through the halls until I got to her room my eyes landing on Fanko with Aubrey sobbing into his chest. What the fuck had happened?
"What's happened?" I asked making them aware of my presence.
"She doesn't want to see any of us" She cried holding on Franko tighter. "My baby doesn't want to see me". No she wasn't getting to do that she wasn't getting to shut us out not after what she has went through.
"Let me speak with her?" I asked as Franko gave his nod of approval. I had no idea what to expect. Was she even going to speak to me? Taking a deep breath I pushed the door open my eyes landing directly on hers.
Ava's POV.....
"I told them I didn't want to see anyone" I snapped my eyes falling into slits. Did they ever listen? They are the reason I'm in here.
"Well that's too bad sweetheart because there's a lot of people wanting to see you. How are you feeling?" He asked as he approached my bed. Really? How was I feeling? Was he serious?
"How do you think I'm feeling? I've been unconscious for 3 weeks. I have a broken leg, a broken hand and a few broken ribs not to mention I probably look like crap. How do you think I feel?"I asked getting myself worked up. "I'm lucky to be alive".
"Shit sorry sweets of course you're not doing good, do you need for me to get you anything? You hungry?".
"I need for you to get out and leave me alone. I don't want you here I don't want any of you here so please just leave" I whispered crossing my arms over my chest, difficult thing to do when your hands in a cast.
"Please don't be like this sweets" He pleaded slipping his hand into his pocket and pulling something out. "Was going to put this on you if you hadn't woken up by the time I came back" Hanging on his finger was my necklace.
"Do you think that's going to make everything okay?" I asked taking it from him "Its just a necklace it doesn't mean anything" I shrugged dropping it onto the table beside my bed. I used to believe wearing it would keep me safe.
"I get that you're upset Ava but..."
"Upset?" I laughed cutting him off "I'm lying in a hospital bed have been for 3 weeks, I've got broken bones might never get the use of my hand back which will screw my career but no Blaze I'm not upset". I yelled angry tears springing from my eyes "I need for you all to leave and let me heal on my own, please?" I asked as the door to my room opened.
"Please don't push us away Ava" My mom cried as she edged her way over to my bed my dad following closely behind her. "Oh god what have they done to my baby". Resting her hand against my cheek my eyes fell shut.
Did I really look that bad?
Sighing I opened my eyes noticing my dad had took the opportunity to sit in the chair beside my bed. He was quiet very quiet and he wasn't acting like his usual self.
"At least I'm alive" I croaked my throat as dry as the Sahara desert. That was the main thing I was still breathing. "So what now?" I asked reaching for the glass of water on the bedside table, at least I wasn't stuck on a ward.
Silence
"Dad?" I questioned knowing he wouldn't let what happened to me slide.
"You just worry about getting better and let me worry about everything else".
Why wouldn't he look at me?
"Dad?" I questioned again hoping this time he would at least look at me..... Nothing! "Why won't-...."
"I said not to worry about it Ava so don't fucking worry about it" He snapped making me jump. "I need a smoke" He growled pushing himself of the chair and making a quick exit.
Frowning I watched as my mom chased after him just like she always did. Why was he mad at me? I didn't cause this I never asked for them to run me off the road.
Moving slightly I groaned at the pain that circulated my body. That only meant one thing I needed more pain relief. Hitting my button I let out the breath I was holding.
