Chapter 15:

I opened my eyes slowly, my head Pain, and you saw! It was blurry, I tried to remember what happened but a slight painful sting in my head forced me to sit on the bed, and my hands on my eyes. After a few seconds I lowered them, and with great weakness I looked to the sides. I was still in the hospital, the darkness was already down, my room door was closed, a night light was on, and an infusion was attached to me. I opened the drawer next to me and saw the bag I bought four days ago, I opened to see its contents and everything remained. Three closed beer bottles, a small sandwich and plasters.

"I see you feel better…" I looked quickly at the door and saw the doctor approaching my words.

"Yes…" I whispered and continued: "I feel much better…"

"Good to hear" The doctor checked my lungs and my heart rate and after a few minutes he handed me the phone: "Call your parent, I need to exchange a word with him" I looked at the phone, the only number I remembered was Rosen's house phone, because I will not suffer from my father's harassment. My dad never liked me going to the hospital, in terms of and it's another law that must not be broken. Because as soon as they knew it went on me, I took the phone from him and dialed, in the end but no one answered so I hung up and dialed again.

"Eithan????"

"Adel!!!" I screamed, my eyes beaming when I heard her voice.

"Eithan? Omg, where are you???" I said, I did not want to make it hysterical, I wanted Rosen to come and take care of what was possible, and then I would be released home.

"Dad and Rosen with Mom … She had a seizure again"

I swallowed my salvia, Rosen and Adel's mother suffers from seizures for years, there were seizures she almost died of. But I always knew that when she had a seizure and did not interfere with letting them be with her because it might be the last time.

"Okay ... thanks, can you tell him I'm in the hospital?"

"Hospital?" Her surprised and worried voice sounded, she sounded stressed.

"Do not worry ... I'm fine, I just had an asthma attack and my inhaler was destroyed" I felt remorseful that I said that, I never lied to her, and that I did not tell her the truth. But I knew when was the right time and when not.

"Just tell them I'm here, and everything's fine!"

"Okay…" She did not like the idea but I left her no choice and hung up. I looked back at the doctor and said, "Thank you!" I smiled at him and continued: "Soon my friend with his father will come" The doctor was not happy with the answer but I also did not have an answer, and he just smiled at me.

"Okay ... rest and update when they come" I nodded at him and the doctor disconnected the transfusion from me.

"You have bruises on your body. Do you know what it is?" So the doctors, the nurses and the policeman saw, and noticed. They know about the scars, the bruises. Fuck, "It happened in those three days ... because I do not remember ..."

"Week!" He said, "You've been here a week, you were unconscious for another three and a half days" a week? I'm here a week, and this week I got up once. What happened to me? How did I get into this situation? What happened in the garden? I tried to remember the day they found me but I remembered until the conversation with Tailos. And what about Dad? he must be angry, and drinking non-stop. He will kick me for sure, this delay was not well received by him, and I will spend days and hours in the darkroom. Fear seeped into me, the understanding of what was going to happen another darkness gnawed at me.

"Eithan!!!!" The door slammed so hard that I was startled, I looked up in panic and saw Adel panting and breathing fast in front of me.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, I did not expect anyone to come, I did not want to bother them, but why is she here? "Adel …" I whispered.

"Who is she?" The doctor asked me, I looked at him and said: "This is my sister's girlfriend, the one I called before"

"And why not your parents?" And I froze "they…"

"Eithan!" I looked up and saw Tailos coming in and he was stunned to see me, just as I was stunned to see him. What's going on here, why is he here? His wife is sick, he needs to be with her.

"Are you okay?" Tailos approached me, they saw in his eyes that he was tired and exhausted, and his clothes were wrinkled.

"I'm fine" I smiled, "how Sylvie?"

"She'll be fine" Tailos put his hand on me, I turned my gaze to Adel and then back to Tailos. There was a clearing in the throat and we all looked away.

"Teacher???" I asked wondering, what is he doing here? Did he also know I was absent, did he also look for me and take care of me.

"How is he a doctor?" The teacher was quick and smooth, did not look at anyone, but wanted straight answers.

"He will be fine, just need to rest, and I want to ask you: Do you know who did the bruises on his body?"

The silence prevailed, obviously they know, they have seen the bruises, they are aware of the situation. Nobody said anything so I said: "They do not know… it happened when I was alone" Nobody understood this 'and it was good that way, because that was my goal.

"Who are his parents?" Asked the doctor.

"I am!!!"

My body froze, he stood like a block of ice, my heartbeat accelerated, my breathing began to be heavy and painful, I looked up a little and my father stood in front of us with his hands clasped in a tuxedo suit. "Dad ..." I did not know what to do, how to get out of this situation, everyone here, everyone gathered for me but what will happen? Will blood be shed here? Will anyone die?

"Are you the father?" Asked the doctor.

"Yes," my father protested.

"So there ..." The doctor stopped and said nothing when the machine beeped. But for me it does not matter because my vision began to blur, my chest ached and burning, my hand rested on it in an attempt to calm but to no avail, there was no other way. Want to get home today.

"Eithannn!!" The scream echoed in my ears, I tried to say something but sank on the mattress, and felt the attack coming.
