Ryder's POV

      Its been a week since I found Marz. She still hasn't woken up. One of the nurses walked in changing her IV bag. "It's nice to see you again Marz. You are doing worse than the last time though. We reached a record though. You made it 2 months without coming here at least." she said trying to stay positive.

      "She comes here a lot?" "Yea every staff member knows her. She has come in here countless times. she always has a new injury every time. She always says that she was being bullied or that she was mugged or something. Different excuses every time."  The nurse leaves and I just sit there angry. Someone was definitely doing this to her and I need to find out who.

The next day

Marz's POV

I wake up feeling a lot of pain. I try to move but I can't. I can't even open my eyes. I wait a while to regain strength. I finally can feel my toes and my fingers. I start by moving my hand. Finger by finger I slowly start to move. I hear someone calling the nurse.

The voice sounds familiar. I hear the nurse saying something. The nurse is Vanessa. Whenever I come to the hospital she always takes care of me. Anyways I start to slowly open my eyes. I see Vanessa and Ryder sitting there. I try to talk but nothing comes out. My dad must have damaged my vocal cords.

"Sweetie don't try to talk your just going to damage your vocal cords even more. They need rest. You have been in a coma for A week not counting today." Vanessa said. I start to panic. A week. Oh no, what about bailey? Does she know? I hope not. Does Ryder know the reason? "Calm down Marz. I covered for you in school and with Bailey. I just said that you went to Spain with your dad on a business trip." Ryder says.

I relax knowing that Ryder covered for me. I knew that he had a lot of questions for me. But I couldn't answer them. If I did I knew that I would actually be dead.
