72 Blacktop Obsession
"I love that feeling of flying in the car." She said excitedly as they slowed down from the nos. "Thanks Dom for understanding. I thought you were gonna kill me to be honest." Kaidyn said as they pulled into the front of the house.
"The night is still young, it could still happen. But I am sure you are gonna behave and make good choices for the rest of tonight, right?" he asked with a grin.
"Yes, I will." She frowned.
"What's wrong?" He asked, noticing her change of demeanor "Kaidyn?" he asked.
"Nothing. I just have another headache." She said, her eyes going a bit blurry. She blinked a few times and things came back into focus.
"Another? How often are these happening?" He asked, concerned.
"I don't know. I don't want to talk about it. It's not important." Kaidyn said, shaking her head.
"It is. Does Shayde know about these?" He asked, noticing her shake her head like she was trying to gather herself.
"She'd just tell the doctor and they'd give me more meds." She blew her bangs out of her face. "So please don't say anything." Kaidyn begged.
"Tomorrow, you, me and Shayde are gonna sit down and have a long talk. If you do, I will tell her I took the car out and you just wanted to drive. If not, I am just gonna tell her the truth and that it was you that stole the keys." Dominic said.
"I can't deal with this right now." Kaidyn said, shutting the car off. She went to remove her seatbelt and she saw nothing but red all over her hand and blood gushing from her nose. She started to get dizzy as she got up to get out of the car, almost falling into the car but she managed to catch herself.
"NO NO NO." She began to sweat, backing up and breathing heavily.
"KAIDYN." Dominic rushed to her side. He grabbed her but it was too late. She was kicking, punching and screaming. Her nose was bleeding more than it had ever bled before due to her struggling.
"Leave me alone! Don't do it!" She screamed, falling down and hitting her elbow on the car. "Don't hurt her!" She yelled.
"Kaidyn, come on. You're okay." Dominic tried to grab her. She ran from him straight into the car.
"Don't touch me. Get off me!" She screamed, flailing and backing into the car. Her arm busted out the window. Dominic tried to reach for his phone.
"I need help in here!" Dominic yelled, hoping someone could hear him. Dominic as well as Kaidyn were covered in blood when Han opened the door. "Come on, Kaidyn. Deep breaths." He coaxed, struggling to hold onto her.
"Hang on, I am gonna go grab the meds." Han started to turn back.
"She doesn't need the drugs." Dominic said, struggling to hold Kaidyn. "It's okay, Kaidyn. I got you. Breathe, it's not real." he said through gritted teeth.
"But they are prescription, you don't understand she's having these…" Han tried to finish his sentence. He noticed Kaidyn's nosebleed was one of the worst he had seen, it was pouring like a fountain.
"Carter and I agreed she doesn't need those drugs. We can get her through this without them." Dominic shook his head. Kaidyn thrashed about. She got free and hit the cars side window, glass shattering everywhere, cutting her legs and arms. Dominic grabbed her and held her again.
"LET ME GO! LET ME GO!" She screamed at the top of her lungs, kicking the car's window and shattering the glass on her foot. She began to bleed from her foot. "Please, please let me go. Shayde, Shayde, Shayde wake up." She gasped, trying to breathe.
"She's gonna hurt herself, Dom." Han said, shaking his head. "I'm getting Shayde." Han took off. "Shayde, I need you in the garage. It's Kaidyn." Han said, standing by her, trying to not look panicked. "Dom doesn't want the 'drugs', he's going to let her wait it out and she's winning right now. He said they don't think she needs them." Han said, throwing a glare to Carter.
"I'm on my way. Grab Hector and get the meds." She jumped up as Carter looked at them.
"She's bleeding really bad. I just want you to be prepared. I don't know what happened but it's bad." Han warned, getting a nod from Shayde.
"Carter, let's go." She said, grabbing Carter who was pouring himself a drink. He followed her.
"Let me go!" Kaidyn screamed, still kicking and trying to wiggle free. She was screaming through gritted teeth. Tears rolled down her face along with the blood as she gasped for air. "I can't breathe, you're hurting me! " She yelled, wiggling her head from side to side. She was kicking her legs faster than Dominic could hold her.
"What happened, Dom?" Shayde asked, taken aback for a moment by all the blood. "DOM." She yelled, trying to not panic. He wasn't answering her and that was not okay by her at all.
"I'm trying to hold her. Give me a moment." Dominic said, struggling to hold her. It was taking all he had to hold her.
"I can see your muscles bulging. She's about to break free. She needs her meds." Shayde said, trying to step closer to Dominic.
"Shayde, she's going to hurt you again. Let him handle it." Carter pulled her arm back.
"Are you fucking kidding me?! Clearly he's fighting a losing battle. Let me go, Carter." Shayde said, freeing her arm from him.
"You need to quit giving her these drugs and let her deal with this naturally." Dominic said, struggling to hold her still. "It's what we think is best." He said.
"What's this we?" Shayde asked. "Kaidyn, you're okay. Come back to us, Honey. Breathe, deep breaths." Shayde said, trying to get closer to Kaidyn. Carter held her back.
"She'll hurt you, My Shayde." He said, explaining why he wasn't letting her get close after the look she had given him.
"I don't care, I need to help her." Shayde replied in a low growl, getting angry.
"Let me go! I want Shayde! Let me go! Please." Kaidyn howled. "DON'T SHOOT HER!" She screamed, dropping down on the ground and taking Dominic with her. She started to crawl over the glass on all fours, trying to get away in a panicked manner.
"Our child will not get hurt because of your stupidity, Carter." Shayde hissed with venom in her voice. "You're gonna hurt her and I don't care if I fucking get hurt, but I will not allow her to hurt herself." Shayde warned. "HECTOR!" She yelled.
"I'm on it." Hector said. Kaidyn got up and Dominic grabbed her again. Han came in and helped hold her.
"Do it quick, Hector. She's getting stronger." Han said, bracing his feet apart on the ground to help hold her better.
"Almost got it." He said, injecting her.
"Give me back Shayde! I need her, please don't kill her. Please don't do this. You're all gonna die!" Kaidyn whimpered, drenched in sweat and looking like she had just come out of the shower, her blonde hair sticking to her forehead from the blood in it. Her nose was still bleeding and her feet and hands were bloody thanks to the glass.
"Can someone please go get Brian?" Shayde asked, kneeling by her. She was so pissed off at Dominic and Carter that tears were in her eyes and that pissed her off even more.
"What the hell happened out here? Is she okay?" Brian asked, looking around, his mouth dropped open.
"These two wanna be doctors decided she didn't need her medication and she had a flashback." Shayde growled.
"You mean the doctor who told her she's a burden to her family? And told her she will never get her memory back and will always need someone to help her? That doctor? Because he's not helping at all." Dominic shot back. Shayde walked over to Dominic and squatted down beside him as he held Kaidyn.
"You mean the quack doctor from juvie that's been taken care of? By me?" Shayde asked, her eyes narrowed. "That's not her damn doctor, Dom. I am talking about the one who comes to see her every damn week and prescribes this med for her. It's legit, legal and it's not motherfucking drugs." Shayde said, her voice so calm it was eerie.
"Does he know about the headaches?" Dominic asked, much quieter.
"We haven't seen him since Johnny Tran beat her to a pulp. She was doing so much better until Johnny banged her head in." Shayde said, watching Brian wipe her arms down with alcohol.
"We got a problem. Whatever you gave her did not hit the vein, Hector." Brian said, holding her wrist, watching it swell up with a lump.
"Damn it. Now I feel bad." Hector said, looking closer at her vein. He turned to Shayde. "Shay, I am so sorry. I was trying but she was really out of it." He said, feeling guilty. "I blew the damn vein." He said, mad at himself. "She was moving so fast." He added, feeling terrible.
"Don't worry it's not your fault. You did your best and it would have been easier if we could have gotten it in sooner." She said, glaring at Dominic.
"I am tired of seeing her like this. This is happening too frequently." Carter said, looking at Kaidyn. "Maybe we should look into a residence for her in a hospital." He suggested. Shayde turned around slowly, her look of ire making him shift uncomfortably.
"You think you are tired of it? Imagine how she must feel." Shayde spat angrily. "We will talk later once I make sure she is okay." She warned.
"I was just suggesting something to try to help her." Carter said, knowing he had gone too far.
"Yeah, don't bother helping if that is your idea. We can just leave if this is a problem for you." Her eyes flashed angrily.
"No one's leaving, I am sorry. We can talk about this later." He nodded.
"Brian, is she okay?" Shayde asked, looking at all the blood. She turned away, gathering her composure deep inside of her to focus on Kaidyn.
"Yes, she's gonna need stitches on the top of the foot where she got cut pretty deep. I can do that though." He nodded, looking up at Shayde. "Damn, she is cut up all over." He shook his head.
"Damn it, I have told her to not wear sandals when driving." Shayde grumbled, picking up her sandal. It was a sandal with basically a bottom and leather strap just running over the toe and ankle, very much a Kaidyn type of shoe.
"Yeah, not good driving shoes at all." Han agreed, shaking his head.
"I think I got her nose to stop bleeding." Hector said, pulling the gauze away from her nose, looking. "Yeah, it's over. Man, all this blood, Holmes." he shook his head.
"Oh Shit, Jesse. Don't let him come out here." Dominic said, just realizing that he could come out there and see that.
"I already have Tej and Roman taking care of things in there." Shayde said, taking a deep breath. Carter tried to put his arms around her and she moved out of his arms reach. "DO NOT touch me. Not right now." She waved him off, going over to Kaidyn to watch Brian.
"She cut this one really good, Shay." He said. "I am trying my best." He promised.
"Do what you can and thank you." Shayde said, picking up Kaidyn's hand and stroking it. Her hair fell around her face and she was grateful for that so they couldn't see how upset she really was as she studied Kaidyn's face.
"Brian, you're going to need more alcohol and bandages." Han said, looking at her arms which were pretty cut up. "Damn, it looks like someone straight got murdered in here." he said, looking at the mess. "She's gonna be pissed about those windows on her car." he nodded.
