Being loved by you

I woke up to bright lights and a beeping sound. I was in the hospital. I guess I must have felt so weak that I passed out but how did I get here? I looked around and saw Liv in the corner of the room sitting on a plastic chair with her head on her knees. She was obviously asleep but I wonder what happened back at the apartment.. the last thing I remember was Joseph hurting my wrist and threatening me.. I quickly looked at my wrist. I had thick white bandages around them. Where is Joseph? I hate him so much. Liv tormenting me is a whole lot different than Joseph. He was abusive sometimes, I hope he has never ever laid a hand on Liv or I'll kill him. My thoughts were inturrupted by someone clearing their throat. It
was Liv. She looked like she has been crying because her eye liner was smeared. Her lip trembled as she walked towards me. She took her shirt in her hands and wiped away her makeup which unfortunately made it worse. When I looked in her eyes I did not see my confident and annoying little sister. I saw a broken and scared girl. Liv was always good at hiding her emotions from me but the truth is she's just as torn as I am. Her wavy blonde hair was a mess and it looked like she hadn't combed it for days. How long have I been in the hospital? I looked at her face and noticed it had gone pale and her lips were cracked and chapped. She was in desperate need of a hug. Although I was a bit nervous, I extended my weak arms and waited for her to come and hug me. She slowly walked closer and sat on the edge of the hospital bed. I was surprised when her arms wrapped around me and said the three words I never expected to hear. At that moment I realized my Liv was back but what about my parents? They are still out of the country working. How long will "Nice Liv" stay? I hope she'll stay forever but I know it's only a matter of time before she builds her walls stronger and pushes me away completely.
