Amber's P.O.V

My eyes are shut tight but my mind is very much awake, I can hear whispers all around my body and the sounds of chairs scraping and feet pacing up and down. I want to move my body but I don't have the strength to do it, gosh this is as so fucking frustrating!

I try and focus my mind into moving and getting up to meet my family that are probably worried sick right now, from this extremely uncomfortable bed and the fact that the front of my body is covered but my butt is exposed, I'm guessing I'm in a hospital and all my family know about it and are here right now.

I went to lift up my chest slightly but all that fails when a shooting pain erupts within me and I fall back in defeat, holy shit that hurts.

I then felt a person's hand grabbing mine and squeezing it tightly, I can't help but notice the person's hand is slightly wet and I'm hoping it's tears or water and not anything gross...

"Come on angel, come back to us!" I hear dad's voice plead beside me, he sounds so close to my ear so he must be sitting down next to my bed.

This is now my chance to let my family know I'm okay with squeezing my dad's hand as tight as I possibly can. I pray to the gods above and use all the inner strength I could collect in that small amount of time and squeeze my dad's hand as tight as I physically could go.

"OH MY GOD!! Baby are you awake?" Dad screams in disbelief, I hear faint cheers and squealing in the background and people touching and prodding my body. I slowly flutter my eyes open and am blinded by the bright lights in the room, I squint and throw my other hand on my eyes to block out the pain.

"God damn it Damion! Turn the lights off for our poor girl" I hear mom scolding and slap my dad, I hear him scurry off and dimed the lights for my tired eyes to open again. I finally open my eyes fully and blink a bunch of times, I look around the room and spot six pairs of eyes looking at me with mixed expressions, some have shocked, disbelieved and relieved faces but I turn to Dylan to see that he has a disgusted face.

"Girl you look awful," Dylan said in a sad and condescending voice, each member of my family took turns to gasp and slap his arms for what he said to me, and I honestly found it funny – the slaps, not his insult!

"Sorry baby but I don't like you in here wearing that ass-less gown that does nothing for your figure," Dylan said whilst rubbing his arm up and down, I laugh and smile up at everybody because I'm just so overwhelmed and happy that my favourite people in the world are sitting beside me and are giving me their full love and support, well apart from someone...

"I'm so happy you guys are here," I whispered in a weak voice and a sob broke out at the end, I was on the verge of tears when I felt Grey quickly engulf me in a warm and much-needed hug, he rubbed my back and silently shushed in my ear to calm me down, if he did that for a minute longer I would've fallen asleep on his shoulder.

Grey pulled away and each member of the family had their turns to hug and kiss me, I relaxed in each person's arms and was slowly forgetting my past memories and the horrible incident that happened in the toilets...well, that lasted for a few moments because everyone's smiles faded and everyone had the same gloomy expression as if they all knew what was about to be said.

"I know it's very soon princess but I need you to tell me exactly what happened to you this morning." Dad said whilst giving me his 'Serious look'. I sigh to myself because I just wanted to forget it but my family deserves an explanation of what exactly happened because I know how worried they're and I might as well let it all out now than hold it back for later.

Over the next half an hour I tell them exactly what happened, from them barging into the toilets, Jade punching and pulling my hair, to my head getting bashed into a mirror and sink and them taking pictures of it all. I didn't once look up to their faces as I told them everything, I knew they were heartbroken and I don't think I could've continued if I saw them.

"Sweetie, I hope you know that you're never stepping foot inside that school again, and I'm organising for you to get home-schooled in a few weeks' time," Dad said seriously and left no room for me to argue, and I was completely fine with that plan, no socialising in classes, no group discussions, no gross cafeteria food, no teachers and best of all no stuck up rich bitches that think they own the place.

"Also, I'm about to tell you a few more rules for you to follow at all times, and these new rules are very important to us so I'm relying on you princess to follow them," Jason said whilst crossing his arms, I nod my head weakly because I'm kinda scared of these new rules, I don't want them to be too strict or unfair, they better not be!

"1. You can NEVER leave the house without one of us with you.

2. We are going to monitor what happens on your phone from now on

And 3. If you ever meet anyone new, I want you to Introduce them to us straight away so we know they are safe to be around. Understand the new rules princess?" Jason said whilst looking at me dead in the eyes. I nod my head but think that the second rule is going too far, I have nothing on my phone for them to be worrying about and that's the perks for only having one friend, and she doesn't even text me!

"I need verbal confirmation baby," Jason said seriously.

"I understand," I said whilst laughing at his seriousness, this guy...

It's about four hours later and its nearing half-ten at night, everyone is looking very sleepy and about to pass out from exhaustion, I slowly sat up in my uncomfortable bed and rubbed the sleep out my eyes to look at everyone, my brothers are talking to themselves whilst my dad is arguing with someone on the phone and my mother is hovering over me and tucking the blanket under my legs.

"Mom you don't need to do that," I said and caught her hand in mine and rubbed it soothingly, she looked down at me with a half-smile and love in her eyes, she looked extremely tired but is tucking me in any way despite it, I really don't deserve this angel!

"Baby I must! You might get cold in the night and shiver, and that shiver then causing discomfort and pain in your chest from your broken ribs, then you will be in so much pain that you will never get back to sleep!" my mom exclaimed whilst waving her arms around whilst giving me her long-winded explanation. I laughed at her and shook my head slowly.

"Mom, you and everyone else look so tired and you all need your rest! Dad and Dylan have work tomorrow so they need to go home." I said to her hopefully, but as soon as I finished talking, my mother's face drops but covers it up quickly with a small fake smile, um what?

"Baby you're right! But you need the most rest darling and we all need to leave so we can give you time for your beauty-sleep." She said and quick as a flash, she nudged dad and Jason's shoulders to wake them up, they jumped a bit but rubbed their eyes at the same time, like father like son.

Soon enough everyone was awake and getting their coats on to leave.

"One of us needs to stay with Amber!" Jason said with crossed arms. I didn't even have time to look up when I saw Isaac spring out of nowhere and jumped to the chair by the side of my bed.

"I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE!" Isaac screamed whilst stretching his arm up in the air with three fingers up. We all laughed hard then the rest of my family walked to the door.

"I will come visit you tomorrow sweetie! Do you want me to bring you anything?" Mom asked whilst standing in the doorway, I think for a second and immediately know what I want.

"ICECREAM PLEASE!!" I said with a huge smile on my face, mom and dad laugh and nod their heads at me we a warm smile.

"Of course baby and I will get you your favourite tub!" Mom said then grabbed my dad's hand and left my room followed by my three brothers, it was now me and an eager Isaac left in the depressing bleak hospital room.

"You need to go to sleep my cutie pie," Isaac coos softly whilst pushing my shoulders down so I was lying down flat and my head was touching the pillow, a sudden wave of exhaustion came over me and I was about to pass out any minute.

My last conscious moment was seeing Isaac stroking my long hair and murmuring to me softly.

Isaac's P.O.V

God, I'm going to have a lot of explaining to do when Amber wakes up.

I look down at her sleeping form and pull away the thin blue blankets off her body and exposing the ugly lilac hospital gown that is strapped to her thin frame and I can't help but agree with Dylan, it does not suit her figure one bit!

I walk to the window and open it up wide so it's ready for me, I walk back to Amber's unconscious body that I drugged earlier and picked up her warm and bandaged body tightly in my strong arms, she literally weighed nothing so I handled this part of my plan well.

That extra Morphine I slipped into her needle was going to wear off soon and I needed to act fast, I took out a black hoodie from my backpack and put it on her and pulled up the hood on her head, then I climbed out the window and closed it as if we never came through it in the first place.

I then make a runner for my car that I parked around the corner and buckled her in the front seat with me, I closed the door and rushed to the boot of the car, I opened it up and looked at all its contents and ticked off every item in my head. My trainers, two bulletproof vests, a spare gun, extra set of clothes and tape.

I don't know how Amber's going to react when she wakes up to all of this?
