Falling For The Girl I Bullied
Chapter 146

Violet’s P.O.V.

I tried to open my eyes but my lids were too heavy to open. I g*****d in pain when I tried to move myself. What’s wrong with me now? I heard someone talking around me. I stopped trying anything else as the pain was really unbearable, and I tried to listen to them. The sounds were not clear to me. It seemed like they were sitting close to me, but why were their voices clear? What was really wrong with me? I tried to remember what happened to me before I fell asleep. My heart started beating furiously when I remembered what happened to me. I was in a dark place, and Kyle was with me. I was in his embrace and then my body suddenly moved up in the air.

I panicked when the realization hit me. Did I really die? Were those angels around me, or am I in hell? What happened to Kyle? Was he able to get out of that place? I was sure that I hadn’t hallucinated about him being with me. I could feel him when he took me in his embrace. I remember what he said to me when I asked him if I die. He was also scared but he tried to comfort me. I felt tears in my eyes when I remembered how he was trying hard to comfort me. I wouldn’t regret dying if he is safe and healthy. He was injured too, he still came to rescue me with everyone. “Hey…. Did you see that?” I stopped pitying myself when I heard Ethan’s clear voice.

Why was he here? Did he die too? No… I remembered hearing his voice outside the dark room. He sounded okay…. Then why he was here. I once again tried to open my eyes because I was scared for Ethan now. “What?” I panicked when I heard Kyle’s voice this time. “He… her eyes… they moved,” I heard his voice again. This time, there was a bit of excitement in his voice. “Yeah.. yeah… they are moving…. Call the doctor,” I heard Kyle yelling at Ethan. “Doctor?” I caught this word, and my mind started working on the possibilities of the situation in which I could be right now.

I breathed in relief when it dawned on me that I was not dead. “Violet… listen to me, love…. Don’t try too hard… just stay calm… “You are okay… and… and you are safe,” Kyle tried to reassure me, but I hissed in pain when I tried to smile. Why was I in so much pain? I sighed when I felt his hand on my cheek. “If you are hearing me, try to open your eyes slowly, love,” he asked me in a loving tone. I took a deep breath and tried to do what he asked me. I tried to open my slowly, and this time, I succeeded.

I tried to blink when I didn’t see anything clear. My lids were still heavy but it was bearable now. I blinked and tried to see but everything was blurred in front of my eyes. I panicked when I wasn’t able to see anything. “Don’t panic… don’t panic,” Kyle immediately took my hand in his hand and comforted me. I opened my mouth to tell him that I am not able to see anything, but my throat was parched. “Let me see,” I heard an unfamiliar voice. I gripped Kyle’s fingers when he tried to remove his hand from my hand. “Uhhh…. Ms. Carter… I am Dr. Gabriel McPherson. “I am your treating doctor, and I am going to ask you some questions,” the stranger explained to me.

I breathed in relief. He was a doctor. “Okay… can you see clearly? If yes… then lift one finger if not, lift two… don’t try to move your head. You have an injury at the back of your head,” he asked me in a gentle tone while instructing me. It was good that I could move my fingers. I could feel pain, but it was bearable now. I lifted my two fingers because nothing was clear in front of my eyes. “Okay,” he said, and then I tried to close my eyes again when a sharp light hit my eyes. “Is it blurred only?” he asked me again and I lifted one finger this time. “That’s great… it will be okay after some time…. So don’t panic,” he told me in a light tone this time.

After that he asked me so many things to do, but all I needed was a glass of water to soothe my hurting throat. “Everything is alright, and her vision will clear soon. Give her some warm water to soothe her throat, but don’t make her speak. Give her some replenished soup after half an hour if she can drink,” I heard him giving instructions to them. “Okay… thanks doctor,” I heard Kyle thanking him. “O thank god…. Thank god, Violet… you woke up… you scared me to hell, girl,” Ethan complained to me after some time and he took my hand in his hand. He kissed the back of my hand and I heard him sniffing lightly.

“Let me give her some water, Ethan,” I heard Kyle asking him something. “Yeah… yeah,” Ethan answered him, but didn’t leave my hand. “Open your mouth, Violet,” I heard Kyle asking me to open my mouth. I obliged and opened my mouth immediately. I felt the warmth of the water in my mouth. I gulped down and sighed in contentment after that. “I am giving you some more water,” I heard Kyle saying me. I opened my mouth again, and we continued the same procedure four more times. Now, my throat was not paining that much.

“I told mom and everyone. They are coming here,” I heard Ethan telling Kyle. “Okay,” Kyle answered him. I was confused now. Ethan didn’t leave my hand and I didn’t hear him talking to anyone else. Then how did he inform everyone? “I texted them and guess what…. all of them are excited to meet you as soon as possible. They replied within a second,” Ethan explained, I guess to me this time. “Uhhh… your mother and father are also here, Violet. They will come too. I am telling you this because I don’t want any surprises for you,” I blinked harder while processing what he said. “You were unconscious for five days, and guess what,” he told me and asked me in a light tone in the end. I blinked harder again in surprise. Five days????? Five freaking days????

“It’s your birthday after three days. I am really happy that you woke up before your birthday. Now you have to recuperate very soon so that we can celebrate our birthday together, and I want to celebrate that day happily, not like my birthday,” Ethan spoke this time and I could feel disappointment in his voice. I tried to smile and this time, I succeeded. “She smiled…. You… you saw, right?” Ethan chirped and I was sure that he was shaking Kyle by his shoulders. “Yes.. yes.. I saw… now stop shaking me,” Kyle scolded him and my smile went wide this time.

“Do you want some more water? If yes then just squeeze my fingers,” I heard Kyle asking me in a gentle tone. I squeezed his fingers as I was thirsty again. Why was my throat hurting this much? “Okay… I am giving you some more water then,” he answered me and I opened my mouth again. I heard him chuckling which confused me. He poured some water into my mouth again and I gulped it down immediately. “Your head is injured because those kidnappers hit your head hard to make you unconscious. They hit you three-four times. That’s why, your head injury is serious, but you will be okay soon. You have some other injuries on your back, and on your shoulders. Your right ankle is also sprained, but all of them are manageable and they will be healed soon,” Kyle started telling me about my injuries in a serious tone.

“It’s our luck that you were alive when we found you. You won’t believe where we found you, and no…. I am not going to tell you right now. That is the story of another day, but we found someone else there also who was badly injured. Thanks to you, he is also alive. He is critical, but he will survive. His family also came to meet you and asked us to inform them when you wake up,” I heard Ethan this time. I was really surprised and my eyes widened in surprise. Someone was also there. I was not alone, and he was more injured than me. “Ouch… why did you hit me?” I heard Ethan yelling at Kyle. “You dumbass… she just woke up… don’t tell her bad things,” Kyle scolded Ethan and I giggled this time.

“I am not scaring her. I am just telling her,” I wanted to laugh because they started bickering like they always did. “You are scaring her,” Kyle scolded him again, and I squeezed his fingers to stop him. “Uhhhh,” I heard Kyle groaning in frustration. “What are you two doing, huh? She just woke up,” Mrs. Parker said, and my ears perked up. “Violet…. Honey,” I felt tears in my eyes when I heard Samantha’s choking voice. Both my mothers are here now. Kyle slowly released my hand from his grip. “She can’t see right now, but the doctor said that she will soon,” Kyle informed her when she took my hand in hers. I sighed in disappointment because I really wanted to see them right now. My vision was still blurred but better than earlier. I could see the silhouettes but sadly not their faces.

“What? But… but why can’t she see?” she asked in a panicked tone. “It’s only temporary. Her vision is blurred, but it will clear soon,” Ethan immediately answered her. I lightly squeezed her hand to get her attention. “Yes… I am here, honey,” she said to me this time in a choked voice. “O come on, Sam… get a grip on yourself….. stop crying,” Mrs. Parker scolded her this time, and I giggled again. “See… she is also laughing,” Mrs. Carter said again. “I am so glad to see her smiling face,” I heard her voice again and then she kissed my forehead lightly. “The good news is that she woke up and I am sure that she will heal soon,” she said in a hopeful tone this time.

“Dr. McPherson asked you to see him. He wants to discuss the next line of treatment for her,” Kyle spoke this time. “Okay… we will meet him later,” Mr. Parker replied to him in a light tone. “Why is not speaking?” Sam asked in a worried tone and I sighed helplessly this time. It was really weird not to answer her, but my throat was still hurting. “She can speak but her throat is hurting now,” Kyle answered her. “O… okay.. okay… take things easy, Violet…. You have to heal properly… y.. you will be okay, love,” I heard Samantha comforting me in a choked voice.

“I… a.. am o.. okay,” I tried to speak this time and told her in a hoarse voice. “She spoke… she spoke,” Samantha cried this time, and I really felt like laughing but I couldn’t. “Aaahhhh… Sam… of course she can speak,” Mrs. Parker scolded her again. I didn’t know what happened after I got kidnapped but this was really refreshing. “You two are not fighting like kids,” Ethan laughed at them, making me laugh too. I didn’t know in what condition they found me, or what I suffered, but I was glad that everything was over and I was now with my loved ones. The best thing was that they were okay and didn’t have any injuries. I woke up, and I would heal soon. I was curious to know who tried to kidnap me and what grudge someone had against me that he or she wanted to kill me in the first place. Now I had so many names in my mind but I couldn’t pinpoint the reason behind this kidnapping.

Kyle’s P.O.V.

I couldn’t tell how relieved I was after seeing her smiling. Now I could say that everything would be okay. She was unconscious for five days. These five days were like an eternity to me. They shifted her from ICU to the room a day before yesterday. She was healing well, and that was the good thing. “Okay… let her rest now. The doctor said that she needs to rest more so that her head injury can heal well,” Ethan said to Mrs. Parker and Samantha. “I want to stay with her,” Sam said in a choked voice again.

“No… you won’t… you will cry your eyes out and will disturb her. You have to stay at home. I really can’t stand your sister,” Mrs. Parker grumbled this time. “Sh… she is here?” Violet asked in a hoarse voice and both I and Ethan immediately shared a look. “Yeah.. she is here, and almost made me kill her every day,” Samantha muttered angrily and I signaled Ethan immediately. “Okay… you two have to go to the doctor… let’s go… let’s go,” Ethan immediately ushered them to go out. “Yeah… we should talk to the doctor firt,” Mrs. Parker said in a worried tone and I took a breath of relief.

“I will be back soon…. Rest well, honey,” Sam said to Violet in a choked, and loving tone. “Yeah… you have to get well soon. It’s your birthday in three days, and I don’t want you to stay here on your birthday,” Mrs Parker said to her in a loving tone while stroking her cheeks. She had bandage all around her head due to that head injury. She didn’t know but they shaved that area before the surgery. I didn’t know how would she react after knowing that because she loved her hair so much.

“O… kay,” Violet replied to her but I saw pain on her face. “You should go now,” I ushered both of them. They were making her speak and this was difficult for her right now. “Yeah… we should go, and see the doctor,” Samantha said to Mrs. Parker and stood up from the bed where she was sitting till now. “I will be back with your dinner,” Mrs. Parker said to me and I nodded. Samantha was still worried but relieved at the same time. “Take care of her, Kyle. I know that I can count on you. Thanks for everything,” Samantha said to me in a low tone. “You don’t need to thank me, Sam. She is my girlfriend, my responsibility to take care,” I replied o her in a gentle tone. She passed me a weak smile, and patted my shoulder before going out of the room.

“I am going to buy some soup for her. The doctor asked her to give her something to drink other than water after some time,” Ethan said before going out. I walked back to the bed and sat down beside her waist at the edge of the bed. I took her hand in mine while looking at her lovingly. The swelling on her face had been subsidised, but she still had some swelling on her face. “Can you see clearly now?” I asked her in a low tone. “N.. o,” she answered me in a hoarse voice. “Don’t speak if you are still having the pain. You know that you don’t need words to communicate with me, right?” I tried to put her at ease and patted the back of her hand gently.

She smiled this time, making me smile too. “I almost lost you, love. You… you can imagine how scared I was when I woke up and found th… that they kidnapped you. The worst was when I… I saw you in… that place… I thought th.. that I lost you when I didn’t replace you breathing. You are my world, love, and I … I,” I choked on my voice this time and closed my eyes. She squeezed my fingers and I took a deep breath. I opened my eyes and brought her hand to my mouth. I kissed the back of her hand gently.

“You have to stay strong and have to recuperate quickly for my sake, love. I am sorry for not being able to protect you when you really needed me. They took us off guard. I… I assure you that this will not happen again. I will do everything to keep you safe, and away from every danger,” I assured her in a determined tone. “Violet,” I sighed in defeat when Noah entered the room while screaming her name. She flinched hard but relaxed immediately when she recognized his voice. I glared hard at him, and he didn’t pay attention to my reaction and came near to us. “Violet,” I rolled my eyes when Dustin screamed this time. What was wrong with these boys? Why were they screaming like a banshee?
