"Maddie, I care about you. I don't want you hurt..." he said. He suddenly had a bad feeling, and sat up. "Maddie, you ok?" he asked.

Maddie looked up at that moment and gasped a little. "I've got to go, Ryan. Don't worry, I'm alright. I love you." she said, and hung up quickly.
Her father was standing above her, hands on his hips. He looked so drunk and out of it, so angry.

"Maddie? MADDIE!" he said, and looked at his phone. He groaned, and all sorts of terrible thoughts ran through his head.

((slightly graphic: domestic violence. warning. ))
"HEY. Why aren't you at home, kid?" He asked, stumbling over his feet and his words messily. Madison holds her arms up for protection and, just in time, as he, without warning, hits her, and hits her. Her head hits the curb, and her vision blurs heavily, she can't see anything. Madison blacks out as the abuse continues.
Semi-luckily, her eldest brother Johnathan was standing close, and was able to get her dad off of her, pushing him to the ground and pinning him. John was fed up, he was sick of seeing his sisters and brothers hurt by their own father.

Ryan paced around his room, wondering what could be happening, but she didn't want him there, so he had to force himself to stay put.

((continued warning))
Her brother, Nicolas, had followed, saw Madison on the curb and quickly called 911. He was an EMT, and he examined her head and noticed she cut it open, he immeditley found a wad of tissues in his pocket and apply it to the area to stop the bleeding on his sister's head.
Soon, the ambulence came, and took Madison away, and then the cops, who took their dad away. The rest of the family followed her to the hospital. Katelynn found Madison's phone and looked up her recent calls to find Troy and Gabriella, who she called.

Ryan heard a ring on his doorbell. He ran down the stairs, and standing there was a crying Gabriella, and a ticked off Troy. "What's going on?"Ryan asked.

"It's Madison. Just come on." Troy says, holding Gabriella close to him.
The three walk outside, and go to the hospital.
Meanwhile, Madison was being treated. Her head was badly injured, but otherwise, nothing really serious was wrong, besides a broken hand.

"Maddie?!" Ryan screamed, as he ran into the waiting room, trying to get into the surgery room.

"Ryan, come on, come sit down." Gabriella says, sitting on a chair next to Troy.
It's about twenty minutes later when Maddie's doctor comes out. Her brother is stand across from the teens, and charges the doctor as he closes the door. John closes off the space between Troy, Gabriella and Ryan so they can't see or hear what was going on.

Ryan spluttered, and groaned. "What's wrong with her?! What happened?!" he freaked.

"Calm down. She's gonna be okay. She hit her head on the sidewalk, and did a little damage, but she didn't lose too much blood. She's not expected to wake up for a little longer, and when she does she'll be groggy, and her memory might be a little iffy." The doctor says.

"I see. Troy, Gabby. I'm going for a walk. Text me when she's up." he said, his voice unsteady. He walked the halls of the hospital before his feet took him to one room. "Shilling? You up?" Ryan whispered. "Unfortunatly." came her drawling voice. Ryan walked in, and saw her reading from a leather bound book. "Hey... Madison..." Ryan began, and Rose looked up. "I know. They rushed her past here. Poor girl. Sucks for her drunken father." she said, and looked down again. Ryan slumped into one of the seats. "I told her I didn't want her hurt. I offered to walk her home. I freaked and walked away and all I can think of now is if she died...." he said, his voice tight and shrill. Tears threatened to fall.

Gabriella nodded at Ryan as he left, and leaned onto Troy.
"I worry about him, Troy." Gabriella says, looking up at him, Troy just nods, "I know." He says softly.

Rose nodded. "Loss is hard. To think that someone you've known your whole life is suddenly gone. But what's even worse to to know that that the people you thought you knew so well, never even existed. They were all just a figment of your imagination. Now, how would you feel then?" she asked, and flipped her page. She looked up, her face grim. " Your lucky to have her Evans. She's a good girl." she said.

Madison was actually doing well, better than the doctors expected. They had expected her to go into a coma, but she's slowly and surely waking up. Her brainwaves were behaving just like she was up and running around, just like normal, and the medical team just couldn't figure out why.

Ryan looked up at Rose. "Thanks, Shilling. But I don't know whats going on with me and her. We fought before the fight, and I left her there." he said.

The group sat outside for awhile, but suddenly, the group inside started to stirr around Madison's bed. Troy jumped up a little to look inside, still holding Gabbie close to him. A doctor came inside and the group shifted away from the bed. Troy caught Nicolas' grin and quickly pulled his cell phone out and texted Ryan quicky.
'get over here fast. she's okay.'

Ryan got the text, and quickly stood. "Sorry, Rose. I got to go, Maddie's up. I'll see you later!" he said, running out of the room.

"Madison?" Ryan spoke softly. She looked fragile in the bed, her eye bruised, and he knew there had to be more than one spot bruised even worse. He was afraid to look away from her, fearing that if he looked away, he would back and she wouldn't really be there.

Troy and Gabriella stood to the side, letting Ryan approach her alone.
Madison lies still on the bed, fighting to wake up when she heard Ryan whisper her name.

Maddie stirs a little bit, but her eyes remain closed.
It was a few hours later by the time Maddie moved again, little by little, and eventually, her eyes opened. She lifted her hand slowly to wipe them.

Ryan lay on the edge of the bed, sleeping. He stirred slightly, but didn't wake.

Madison saw him and smiled. She didn't wake him up, and just ran her fingers through his hair gently.

Ryan let out a gasp, the kind when suddenly woken from sleep. He opened his eyes, and looked at Madison. "Maddie? Are you really up? Or am I dreaming again?" he asked.

Maddie laughed and poked him with her good hand. "Did that hurt?" she whispered, laughing. Maddie looked down at her hand and frowned, looking up at her siblings and their slightly happy, slightly ticked off faces.
"It was bad, this time, wasn't it?" Maddie says, not looking at the faces she knew her friends were making. They don't know this has happened before. Nick nods slowly.

Ryan looked at her sadly. "Maddie. I feel so bad. I couldn't protect you." he whispered, taking her hand slightly.

"Ryan, I've told you a million times. You couldn't have helped me. Even if you could, you'd be lying here, probably worse off than me. I'd hate that." She says softly.
