"Leon!!" I heard Letty call holding her ribs painfully. She looked down at me, sprawled out on the floor, where Leon's punch had sent me. It hadn't really been that hard, but then again I hadn't even tried to block it.
She was looking at me, her dark eye's painiced with concern. I could only imagine it was for Leon.
"Dom do something!" she begged me.
Usually that would have been all it took for me to jump up and pull Leon from the car that was squealling out of the parking lot.
Instead I lay on the ground, watching as pain flashed in and out of her eyes, between her constant concern. I knew the only reason she didn't chase him down herself was because moving hurt. Even now, when she stood stock still, I could tell she was hurting. My baby was hurting.
I sat up slowly to turn my eye's to Mia.
She was sitting in the chair near the window. Calm, still and emotionless. She'd been like that since I'd come for her.
I'd forced her to leave Jesse on the sidewalk. Like an un-wanted piece of garbage. I could tell the ambulance had been just around the corner. Could hear their sirens blaring, so I'd picked her up and dumped her in the car, and we had passed the ambulance at the top of the street.
She hadn't said a word to me since. Except to tell me the motel address.
She hadn't even batted an eyelash, when she had coldly told Leon what had happened to Jesse. Her eye's had been cold and black, as she told him how many bulletholes she had managed to count on him. Five. Even I hadn't known that.
"I'm going to have a shower." I told both girls, as a looked down on my blood stained shirt.
"He didn't mean it Dom." I heard Letty call, but I pretened I couldn't hear. I half wished I couldn't hear or see anything. Hoped that the world would just stop, and give me a few minutes of peace. Time to think. That's what I needed now.
