Family

"Hmmm, how about a compromise?" Cassim looked at the girl on the cot, who had turned her grey eyes away from him and was making sure to keep it that way. A smile tugged at his lips when he thought about it.

"...What compromise?" She asked, being very wary

"Simple, you work stay until you can go, and then work here to pay off the rest that can't be covered by insurance."

Amara turned to look at him and after a bit reluctantly agreed to his offer.

"Alright, the main problem is what you know about medicine."

"I...don't know that much. I know enough to help out, but not enough to do that much."

Interesting, so she actually knows some medical knowledge. "What do you know?"

"I know how to diagnose some illnesses, injuries and sicknesses and some prescriptions, but not much else." Amara was glad she had studied medicine after Blake's death. It would finally pay off.

"Alright, two months after you recuperate, you'll start working as an intern. You'll work in my division so you'll be need to meet the people you'll be working with soon. If you need anything else, you can just ask the nurses to get Cassim Grey for you. I'll leave your medicine on the table and go, now."

Cassim left the room and Amara watched him leave. He seemed like a nice guy, but she didn't trust him. He would surely end up hating her sooner or later, regardless of how nice he was. He'd just treat her nicely until she trusted him and then break her like everyone else. Sighing, Amara relaxed and tried to go back to sleep, but before she could, the door slammed open.

Amara's stepbrother Will and her sister Cady walked into the room. Cady was short, with shoulder length dyed blonde hair, and her face has at least a pound of makeup on it. She was wearing a glary pink dress and seven inch heels. Will looked more casual, with cocoa brown hair streaked with blue and a hoodie and jeans. Following them were Amara's father Alexander and her stepmother Maria. Maria and Cady laughed at seeing Amara in the hospital cot.

"Well we'll, it's the little bitch of our family," Maria sneered.

"Looks like we didn't beat her up enough, if she's already awake," Cady slurred.

Both women started laughing and soon Will and Alexander joined in.

"No wonder Karen left you! Who would want to stay around someone like you!" Will always joined in after Cady, so it wasn't that surprising. The blow still hurt though. Karen had been Amara's best friend, and one of the two people she trusted, but she had helped Cady and Will torture Amara. She had also held Amara down to watch her boyfriend Jax die. He had been shot thirteen times in front of her, while Karen and Amara's family had laughed.

Amara balled up her fists and sat up to punch Will, but before she could the door opened again and a familiar man with coffee brown hair and blue eyes walked through.
