Authors note (AN): ok this is a fair warning about what you'll encounter while reading my fanfic. 1 there is violence in it, 2 there is bad language in it, 3 yes there are a lot of mature audiences only. If you have no clue to what I'm talking about, well you'll see when you read my story. Oh and before I forget! Biker Mice From Mars isn't mine it belongs to the person(s) that created them which doesn't include me!!! Which means Throttle, Modo, Vinnie, and Charley and any bad guys from BMFM aren't mine for those of you with a slow mind, or are just incredible tired (I hear ya on that!!).
All other characters are mine and I would like it if you ask me first before using them in any of your stories!! I will gratefully let you use them, just so long as I get some credit, cool? Cool!!
Chapter eight: Bump's and Thump's
"No, it can't be" Charlene took a few steps back from the radio. She tried to turn around, to go into her room and settle down but ended up turning too fast and slipping on a dirty shirt on the floor. Trying to regain her balance from the on coming floor she grabbed at what ever she could reach for, which happened to be one of the drawers. It unfortunately fell out causing her to fall, as well and hit her head on the side of the tub. She lay their dazed for a few seconds before she slowly sat up, the memories beginning to over flood her.
One by one every single insult every little callous glance down to the first hit he gave her came tumbling down like an avalanche rapidly covering everything in it's path. She was so caught up in her own past she didn't even notice the presence of another.
"How could I have been so stupid not to have picked it up?" She felt as if the room was becoming unstable. A sudden feeling of dizziness over came her.
"Charley? Are you alright?" He looked at her, at her eyes. Her eyes were giving away her emotions, like an open window straight into her soul. Something he never thought he'd see in her.
"I can never forgive myself…" She heard someone's voice next to her, but couldn't hear it too clearly; as it seemed it was fading away from her, slowly leaving her to her dreaded past."Charley? Charley answer me" Vinnie was now crouching down on the floor next to her. It seemed as if she had gone into shock. She wasn't acknowledging his presence or the loud noises of a stampede made by the other mice running up her stairs. Her face began to pale and her lips were turning a shade of blue, she began to look almost dead.
"So stupid… why is it coming back now…"
"Charlene, snap out of it" trying to shake her out of it wasn't working and so with some regret he did the only thing he could think of doing at the moment.
He slapped her.
She began to blink a bit as if finally registering where she was and what had just happened to her. Her eyes came back to normal as she looked around the small room and at the three mice. "Wh-what just happened? I tripped and then…" She closed her eyes, sudden remembrance coming and began to rub her forehead. "What's happening to me?"
Throttle crouched down beside the distraught human and gave her a good silent look over.
"Charlene," he paused looking down suddenly, pondering the best possible way to tell her, "Maybe you shouldn't work today. Maybe not for a while, just so that we can make sure that you're, alright." He sniffed a bit and turned to look at the other two mice that were also kneeling down by him. Both of them nodded in silent agreement with his spoken thoughts, before he turned to look at her.
At his words, she looked up at him. "What do you mean I shouldn't work for a few days? If I don't work, then who will?"
She seemed to suddenly dig herself out of the hole she had dug at the mention of not being able to work.
"Do you guys think I'm not capable of doing my work because of my past?"
"Now Charley-ma'am. That's not what Throttle said. He only said tha-"
"That I shouldn't work until you think I'm, alright" she made sure she stressed out the last word looking at all of them. Silence began to grow between the four for what seemed like hours when a minute after the last word was spoken Charley slowly got up.
"Charlene…"
She turned around at the sound of Vinnie's voice.
"We don't want anything to happen to you, at least, just for one more day, sit out and let us do the work." He let his offer hang before also adding for good Vinnie humor, "Besides, you've got to admit. We haven't burned the garage down." He gave her one of his famous crest smiles and gave her a little flex.
At his little show Charley couldn't help but smirk and roll her eyes.
"Not yet at least" But she smiled and gave a tired sigh. "Alright then, but just for today"
"Oh ya!"
"Sure"
"Of course!" Came unanimity of all their voices.
"Now why don't you let us baby you again Charley-girl? Starting with that knock you gave yourself." Throttle stated as a matter of fact, while brushing some of her hair out of the way to get a better look at the forming bruise and bump.
"Hey, well. Will you look at that? That's almost as bad as the one I gave myself that one time back on Mars."
"Oh ya, that One Time." All three of them gave each other a quick smirk, hoping Charlene hadn't caught on to there little inside joke.
Too tired to even think about anything else, whether it be the garage or the guys little inside jokes that they thought they could hide from her, Charlene gave them one last good eye roll before turning around and walking toward her bed to catch up on at least three more hours of sleep.
"Hey Charley let me take care of that goose egg you're getting" Vinnie called after her.
She turned around, a bit startled for some odd reason at his offer before agreeing to go under his care.
The other two mice suddenly came up with other places to be and things to get to help them 'maintain' the garage as they put it, and efficiently split before Charley could say anything else.
Shrugging she got into her bed and couldn't help but think about everything that had just happened. She had gotten up to perform her normal routine in the morning, listen to two songs, got a message she sure was hoping wasn't for her; which she wouldn't even bother telling the guys, for they would only worry over her even more, though she didn't mind the babying once in a while but not all the time. Then she had knocked her head on the side of the tub because she tripped on some of her dirty laundry, she was getting to be just as bad as the guys. She gave a mental cringe. And now she was going to get patched up by Vinnie.
She turned over on to her side and looked at her alarm clock; and it was only nine o'clock in the morning!
She gave another sigh to herself and closed her eyes. When suddenly she opened them just as fast.
A sudden rush came from her stomach and filled her entire being. Before it hit her again just like that tub before except it wasn't leaving a bruise or mark of any physical kind.
Vinnie had offered to patch her up, and not only that, they would actually be, alone.
Sudden schoolgirl butterflies began to fill her stomach, her heart thumping faster as she heard footsteps coming up the stairs.
AN: Ok I know I took like four months to update and it's only like some 1,000 words long but heck I am trying! I couldn't help it that I got a good long writers block! But I've got somewhat of an outline for the next chapter maybe two, so those should come up a bit faster, maybe. This chapter will lead to a suspenceful one that's coming next! I know I'm just the crux of evil.
And a BIG thanks to all of my reviewers!! When ever I felt as if I shouldn't continue or I had really bad writers block (ahem) I'd read a review or an e-mail and It would perk me up and remind me that people were waiting for the next chapter!! SO THANK YOU MY PEOPLE!!! ^_^
