Two days its been two days since the girl was found, apart from thrashing and screaming the girl hasn't woken up, as if she was taking a long needed break. Bo didn't left her side in these two days accept going to take shower and answering nature's call, someone brought her necessities to the hospital even.
Bo would sit near the girl on the uncomfortable chair that was kept near the bed, hold her hand and just look at her, waiting patiently.
Today was the same, the third day, as usual Bo was sitting near the bed holding her hand waiting. Bo abruptly stood up when she felt the hand move, she saw the eyes of the girl moving rapidly while closed, Bo was ready to press the button to call the nurse if she starts thrashing again but that didn't happened.
The girl opened her eyes blinking in fast motion to adjust with the light of the room, Bo turned the light off that was right above the bed decorating the plain white ceiling.
The girl looked around the room, her whole body was in pain, her throat felt dry and she was trying to recollect her memory before closing her eyes.
The girl looked at Bo and the shiny red hair brought all the memories back that she was trying to recall.
The filthy dark room, her escaping, her standing in the middle of the road and the car coming straight towards her. With every recollection the hold became tighter, she was holding Bo's hand tightly, there was fear in her eyes.
Bo looked at the girl gently and said "You are safe, I am here." Listening to someone saying they are there for her, the girl felt overwhelmed, that her feelings leaked from her shiny blue eyes.
Soon she started sobbing and then wailing like a wounded animal, Bo didn't knew what to do, she was trying to wipe the tears while assuring the girl that everything is fine, she was saying sorry again and again even she doesn't know for what.
Bo's eyes were also teary while seeing the girl in so much pain.
At last Bo couldn't take the girl's wailing, she slept on the bed with available space, she was sleeping sideways and she made sure she was not disturbing any wires.
She gently glided her hand under the girl's head and cradled the girl's face in her arms, sharing her warmth, assuring her again and again that everything will be alright, she is not alone.
Bo didn't realized when the doctor came into the room, she didn't realized when the doctor came near the bed to check on the girl or when the doctor left after checking the monitors and deciding to come later when the girl is calm enough.
Bo's concentration was on making the girl feel safe and make her stop crying, that was all in Bo's mind. After what felt like hours the girl stopped crying, she was now silently shading tears and trying to hide in Bo's arms, she couldn't move much as even a slightest movement would bring immense pain in her body.
She couldn't understand why she felt safe in the arms of Red haired girl, she wanted to savor the moment as much as she can, she was afraid that all this comfort, all this warmth would be taken away from her when she blinks her eyes.
She couldn't understand the sparks that erupted in her body whenever she was touched by her, she couldn't understand the calm wave that crashed her unsettled heart, she couldn't understand anything and she didn't want to even, she will just enjoy the moment while it lasts.
Bo was now looking at the girl with warmth in her eyes caressing her bruised cheeks, she was glad that the girl finally woke up, she was gald that the girl didn't gave up, she was glad that the girl escaped from whatever hell she was in, she was glad that she was given a chance to meet her.
Bo felt that the girl took a gulp and cringed making her realize that her throat might be dry, bo tried to get up as gently as she can to hand the girl a glass of water. But the girl got frightened thinking that she will be left alone again, her hold on Bo tightened.
"Don't leave." she said with her raspy voice and cringed again, she badly needed a glass of water.
"I am not going anywhere dear, I am just going to hand you a glass of water, your throat is dry right?" Bo asked gently, the girl nodded and Bo again tried to get up as gently as possible.
Bo took the jug of water that was kept near the side table and poured water in the glass, all this time the girl never left her eyes from the red haired lady. She was even afraid to blink thinking all this is just a good dream that would be snatched away when a bucket of water is splashed on her.
Bo made the bed in sitting position by pressing the button on the remote that was provided and brought the glass of water near her dried bow lips.
The girl drank the water greedily yet slowly, she finished the whole glass and finally her throat was not making her feel uncomfortable.
Bo asked the girl's name while pressing another button that the girl didn't know what it was for.
"l..lia." The girl said timidly making Bo smile showing her pearly white teeth.
"My name is Bo." Bo said eagerly to lia wanting to hear her name floating from lia's lips.
But this moment was short lived as the doctor walked in and cleared his throat to gain some attention.
Bo looked at the doctor with her cold eyes while lia looked at the doctor with frightened eyes, the doctor was strong built and that made lia frightened. When the doctor started to walk near her to check up on her, she started trembling.
She grabbed Bo's hand and started sliding towards Bo wanting to hide behind her, she didn't gave any importance to her pain, she just wanted to hide from this big man.
The monitor started beeping rapidly halting the doctor's movements. Bo hugged the girl wanting to sooth her but also make sure not to hurt her injuries.
"He is just here for check up, I am not going anywhere, no one will harm you I promise, please let him check you." Bo said gently, lia looked at Bo then at doctor, she again looked at Bo and with her quivering lips she said "Don't l..le..leave."
"I won't." Bo said with conviction.
