A few other officers bounded in. I spoke to one, while the other had his gun trained on Elly's dad. The other cop turned to the second, telling him to lower his weapon. It wasn't too dangerous. "You're under arrest for the assault and abuse of Ellory Parker," the first cop said, turning Elly's dad around and clipping on handcuffs.

:Elly:

My dad tried to struggle, but it was no use against the cops. Meanwhile, I lay in a hospital bed while the nurses frantically patched me up. They said that I had a punctured lung as well, to top it all off. Oh goody.

I saw to it that Elly's dad was in the cop car and driven off before heading to the hospital.

:Elly:

They performed a painful procedure while I struggled not to cry out.

I parked in the visitor lot and hurried upstairs to Elly's room.

:Elly:

They reluctantly let Josh in, but remained in the room to continue the procedure. When they were done, I still felt like crap.

.josh.

"Hey," I murmured, sitting down in a chair beside her.

:Elly:

I looked over at him and smiled weakly. "Hey."

[Aven]

.josh.

"Any better?" I asked.

:Elly:

I shrugged, then started, "I'm so so so sorry you had to see all of that. Thank you so much for sticking up for me."
