Chapter 3 : A helping hand
Loki barked loudly. I rolled off the bed. "Loki, please quiet down" I said, rubbing my head. Ian sat up and pulled me to my feet. "You ok?" He asks. "Yeah, I'm good, thanks for asking" I said, smiling. He smiled and walked out of the room. I realised Loki was barking because my phone kept continually ringing. I picked up. "Yo Sam whasup...." "HANNAH! YOU HAVE TO GET DOWN HERE NOW! QUICKLY!" Sam screamed into the phone. I jumped up and quickly got dressed. I grabbed my phone and ran out the door with Loki following behind. "Hannah! Where are you going?!" Ian screamed. "Come with me! I might need your help!" I screamed back. He grabbed his jacket and ran out after me. He caught up and ran beside me. "What's going on?" He said. "LOOK OUT!" I screamed, pulling him out of the way of a incoming quad-bike. "Thanks" Ian puffed. "It's ok" I said. We began to start running again. As we arrived at the orphanage, I realised the problem. One of the younger girls, Lauren, was standing on the edge of the roof. I ran to Sam. "Explain" I say. "She's going to jump!" Sam said. I looked at him. "No duh Sherlock" I said. He rolled his eyes. "Lauren, what are you doing?" I said calmly. "I hate my life! Everyone hates me!" She replied. "She's only 10" Sam said. "Nobody hates you Lauren........ Please come down" I said. "No Hannah! Nobody will ever adopt me!" "I thought that too Lauren, and I was adopted by two amazing people" I said. "Aww" Ian said. "Please Lauren" I said. Suddenly, she jumped. I ran forward. "Hannah your going to get hurt!" Ian said. I ran forward and caught her bridal-style, falling back and hitting my head on a tree root. The owner of the orphanage came and took her out of my arms. The ambulance pulled up and Lilly was taken into care. I sat up and rubbed my head. I looked at my hand to see blood. The world kept spinning" Oh my god Hannah are you ok?!" Sam and Ian said. They both pulled me too my feet. "You were so brave!" Sam said. I laughed. "Oh no, your hurt! Come on, let's get you some help" Ian said. He gently grabbed my hand and lead me too the ambulance. The ambulance drivers put stere-strips and shined a torch in my eyes. "You have mild concussion, a little rest and you should be fine. You may pass out once or twice, but you will be absolutely fine" The ambulance driver said. Ian looked at me with a worried expression. I jumped up and hopped out of the back of the ambulance. I fell out and onto the road. Ian helped me up. I watched as the ambulance took Lauren away. "Come on Hannah" Ian said. I said goodbye to Sam and signalled Loki to follow. "That was brave, what you did back there" Ian said. I rubbed the back of my head. It stung really badly. "Poor thing" Ian said. We walked in and Anthony jumped up. "What happened? Where have you two been?" He said. We explained everything. Halfway through, I started feeling really dizzy. I got up and walked upstairs. "Hannah?" Ian asked. I walked into the bathroom. I took one look in the mirror and dropped to the floor. The world started going dark. Ian ran in. "Hannah! Hannah!" He said, shaking me. "ANTHONY!! GET UP HERE!!" Ian screamed. Anthony ran in and kneeled next to me. He shook me as well. Ian picked me up and ran into my room, dropping me on the bed gently. He and Anthony started pacing around the room. "The ambulance driver said she may pass out but she will be fine....." "What if he's wrong?" Anthony said. Ian's face dropped. My ears started ringing. I lifted my head slightly. Loki jumped onto the bed next to me. Ian ran over. I couldn't hear anything. Too much ringing. Ian sat me on his lap. "Come on Hannah, stay with me" He said. He rocked me in his arms gently. Anthony sat next to him. "Ian.....Anthony" I mumbled weakly. Then darkness consumed my vision.
8pm that night
I woke up still in Ian's arms. He looked really tired. "Ian...." I mumbled. His face lit up. "Hannah!" He said excitedly. I hugged him tightly. "Feeling better?" He said. I nodded slightly. I still had a bad headache and the world kept spinning. "I think so" I said. "I got on the phone with the doctor, and Anthony is going down to get you some painkillers" Ian said. "Thanks" I mumbled. I grabbed my head as it started to ache again. "Owww" I said to myself, hoping Ian didn't hear. Ian rocked me in his arms again. "Shh shh shh your going to be ok" He said. I smiled slightly. I dropped my hand slightly and patted Loki's nose. Loki nudged my hand. I laughed a little. Anthony opened the door and slammed it shut, running upstairs. "Is she up?" Anthony asked. I opened my eyes and looked at him. He smiled widely. "Hey Anthony" I said. He smiled again and gave me a hug. Ian sat me up on his lap and Anthony handed me a painkiller. A few minutes after taking the painkiller, my headache started to go. I stood up. Ian stuck out his hand and I used it for balance. I walked around the room. "Do you feel better?" They both ask. I nod. Loki jumps up. I laughed. I went back to lie on the bed. "I'm tired" I said as I yawned. Ian lifted up the covers and gently put me under. Loki jumped onto the bed next to me and I slowly fell asleep.
