I had a hard time falling asleep that night due to the pain that lingered in my stomach. The morning after i woke up from what i might say was a terrible slumber, i went to shower. The drips of water hurt my skin as they trailed down my body. It was bearable though. I made sure to eat breakfast this morning, though I'm not sure if I'll be able to hold it down. It was toast and cereal, very average, though I'm not complaining. I didn't bother packing lunch today cause i clearly didn't have time to make anything. 

I would honestly love nothing more than to stay home the whole day, but my teachers already think of me as a problem child, and skipping another day of classes would only make things worse. I know if i called in sick they wouldn't believe me either. So with that in mind just head out the door.

After my long walk to the school i feel that the pain in my body has become even more unbearable. Though I'm far too tired and weak to turn back now. So i just continue into the school. I began walking down the hall but very slow, cause I'm not feeling good at this point. While i continue struggling to walk i spot Liam and his buddies. They also notice me making my way down the hall. They began approaching me with huge smirks on their faces until i start to sway, my head began to spin and my vision went blurry. I hear a loud thump as i collapse to the floor. Everyone wen't silent except for a few. They laughed probably thinking i was tripped or pushed, only until i didn't get up. That's when people started to panic. I didn't even know what was happening myself. That's when I just blacked out.

I woke up to a loud beeping sound that repeated over and over. I was in the hospital.  I laid there thinking i was dreaming. I just waited and waited to wake up but with every passing second it began feeling more like reality. I started panicking when i realized i wasn't dreaming. 

Several moments later the door opened. A doctor walked in. He had messy brown hair and was quite tall. I couldn't read his name tag though. My vision was still too blurry.

"How are you feeling?" He began.

"Much better than before." I say with a shy chuckle, and he smiles.

"H-how long have i been here?" I ask nervously, scared for an answer.

"You've only been out for two days now." My eyes widen at his response.

"No way! I hope I locked the doors and shut off the stove, and sink before I left home!" I whisper worriedly. Though he still seemed to hear it.

"Don't over work yourself boy. You were in pretty bad shape when you arrived here." He says in a worried tone. I look at him curious.

"Both your ribs were fractured, and your body was incredibly bruised." He looks at me with pity in his eyes "Mind telling me what happened?" He finishes with a question.

"I... I uhh..." I hesitate to answer for awhile. "I-It was from some bullies at my school. T-though its not like you'd even believe me anyway." I finish turning my head in the other direction.

"Why wouldn't i believe you?" He asks curiously.

"No one ever does... I-its like the world is against me." I say now looking down at my lap.

"I believe you, so you don't have to worry" He says with pity in his voice. I look to his face and see that hes telling the truth.

"Those are some pretty harsh bullies." He says surprised.

"Y-yeah... I don't think they know their own strength." I say now playing with my fingers.

"So, when will your visitors be coming over?" He asks "I'm just curious cause no one has come to visit these past couple of days." He says worriedly.
