▪▪ Chapter 1- - waking up

I woke up to the sound of beeping. A constant BEEP BEEP BEEP was screaming in my ears and i opened my eyes. Everything was white. My eyes were hurting, actually, my whole body was hurting like hell. I looked around, trying to take in my surroundings and figure out where i was when i heard someone scream,

" NURSE! she's awake!" then, the lady walked towards the bed from a little chair, where she'd been sitting.

"Hey honey, how are you feeling?" who was that woman. Why was she here, where was i? Then, the doctor and a group of nurses walked in.

"Hello Alexa, I'm Dr. Connors, do you know where you are?" the doctor asked.

"N- no," i croaked

"You're at the hospital," she hesitated to say more. Well that wasn't going to cut it. I wanted answers. Now.

"What happened?" then, reality came crashing down. My parents, the men trying to kill us. The beeping sound accelerated.

"Oh my god, my parents. Where are they, there was so much blood i- "

"Calm down sweetie, its not good to get agitated," the Doctor ordered.

"I WANT ANSWERS, NOW!" i screamed to everyone.

"SOMEONE TELL ME WHATS HAPPENING!"

It hurt to scream, hell, it hurt to breath but i didn't care. I wanted my mommy. Then, i started crying. I want my mommy. Yes, I'm 17 years old, almost 18 but i didn't care, i wanted a hug from my mommy.

"Okay honey, listen to me, do you remember what happened in your house?" the doctor asked.

"I was coming back from school. There was blood and my parents were on the floor. I tried to wake them up and then i felt a lot of pain. I screamed. I saw a man, he had a knife and he stabbed me with it. I ran to the door, i wanted to get help but he grabbed me from behind, i only had time to hit the panic button on my alarm. Then i felt a lot of pain and it was all black." i whispered.

"Yes honey, the two men were taken to jail, they stabbed you in your stomach and in your back. In total, they stabbed you 11 times, 5 in the back, 6 in the stomach and they eviscerated you once."

what the hell?

" what does eviscerated mean?" i was scared to ask.

"It means they stabbed you and cut you open. The scar is 8 inches long. When they found you, your internal organs were spilling out."

I knew she wasn't sure if i could take it. She hesitated a lot to tell me the truth, but i was grateful. I needed to know.

" How did i survive?" i whispered more for myself than for her.

" I don't know. You're a strong girl because someone with injuries of your extent shouldn't have survived. The police officer that found you saved your life." she said matter- of- factly.

" Whats his name?"

" Her name is Julianna Callaghan."

Then i had a flash. my parents. Where were they?

" I would like to see my mommy..."

" Honey, i- i don't know how to say this... but..." she looked at me with sad eyes.

No no no no no. This couldn't be happening. No! I heard the beeping sound go faster, i felt my eyes watering and then the tears spilled down my face. Were my parents dead?

" Are they dead?" i sobbed

She looked at a loss for words. She just looked at me and said,

" I'm so sorry Alexa.."

" But, i have no one left. where am i going to go? I can't be without them I'm all alone ," i cried.

And i couldn't stop. I just sobbed. At some point, the nurses and the doctor just stepped out and the lady that i first saw sitting in the chair in the corner of the room just looked at me with watery eyes and held me while i cried. I didn't care that i didn't know her, i didn't care about anything. I just wanted them back.

3 hours passed and i just cried myself to sleep.

When i woke up, the lady was still there, besides me, holding my hand. Who was she? She looked familiar, but i didn't know where id seen her. I moved my hand out of hers and that woke her up.

" Morning sweetie," she mumbled sleepily. She looked like she was expecting me to start sobbing again.

" Hello, who are you?" i asked politely.

"Oh I'm sorry baby, you must be so mixed up! My name is Ella Teller, i was your mother's best friend. "

Ella Teller? I'd never heard of her.

" I never met you.." i started

"I know honey, last time we saw each other you were two, i moved to California fifteen years ago, but your mother and i always kept in touch."

" Why are you here?"

" Your mother made me promise that if something ever happened to her and your father, i would be there to take care of you. "

She seemed nice enough, and she knew my mother. I guess it's better than to end up in foster care and be all alone. I was so confused. Why didn't i die with my parents?

" Will i have to move to California?" i murmured

" Well, yes honey, my husband and i adopted you last week. Everything is set, you have a green card and when you're better, we're going to move to L.A, where i live. We already set up your room in my house. "

" okay," i mean, nothing was keeping me here, i had no family, no friends,all i had left were bad memories. then it hit me.

"Wait, you said you adopted me last week, how long have i been unconscious?"

" 3 weeks sweetie, they put you in an induced coma to make your wounds heal properly. I got here the day after the attack, i took the first plane over. I didn't want you to be alone when you woke up"

" Thank you," was all i could say.

There was a moment of silence.

" They said you would be able to leave in two weeks and that after that two weeks, you should be able to walk, run do anything. But there would be pain. They even said no permanent damage! You will be able to get back to your life as soon as you're healed."

" Okay" i didn't care. " i don't really know you, can you tell me stuff about you and your family? It would take my head off of things.."

"Oh I'm sorry of course honey! Well, I'm Ella Teller, i have a husband, his name is Jax Teller, and we have 6 sons. My husband is the CEO of a multinational transport company and I'm an actress." She looked at me for a reaction.

" You have 6 sons? As in 6 boys and no girls? As in I'm going to be living with 6 boys?" i was freaking out.

" Yes honey, but they're really nice. I'm sure they'll love you!"

" Do they know ill be living with you?"

" Not yet, they just think i've been away on business. I didn't want to tell them until everything was set."

" Please don't tell them why I'm with you okay, i don't want any pity."

"Okay honey i'll just tell them there was a family situation, is that all right?"

" Yes, thank you."

This was all i could handle, i drifted off to sleep.
