Life is what you make of it Chapter 5
Bosco lead Brittany into Mercy hospital.
"There's no need for this, really. I'm okay." She said protesting his action.
"Well I jus' wanna make sure. A'ight that's one nasty shiner ya got there on ya face. I wanna be sure."
She tried pulling out of his arms. "But-I'm-fine" She said still fighting, Bosco not letting go. "Damn it let go of me, stop touchin' me damn it and let me go."
"Yea, an' you'll run. I took the cuff off ya said; I wouldn't take ya in, but this..." His eyes narrowed on her. "You are doin' this."
She tried pulling away once more before giving up and sighing. "Ya wastin' ya time. Ya know that. ain't nothin' wrong with me." She said bitterly.
"I'll believe it when I hear it from the doctor." He said. He looked at her. "Ya say ya left home 'cause your uncle hurt ya. Look at ya now Britt, it's still happenin'. Don' ya wanna be safe?" He asked.
Brittany looked away from him. "Like you'd understand. You were the one who took me there, ya dropped me off at my uncles house, like an unwanted puppy." She told Bosco, still not looking up at him. "I told I didn't wanna go there, that I didn't like him, but ya left me there anyways." She finally looked up, tears in her eyes. "Ya jus' left me there. You never called me, you never wrote me, none of those things you said you were goin' to do."
Bosco looked down at her. "I may understand. Ya never know." He closed his eyes and listened as she went on. "Brittany, I did too call, I even stopped by a few time's but ya uncle he wouldn't let me see you or always said ya was somewhere. I did try though."
She stared at him. "Really? I always asked my uncle if ya ever called or anythin'. He always said no. I tried sneekin' out, runnin' away a few weeks after it all happened, but he caught me and he..." She shook her head.
Bosco knew the rest. He knew what her uncle had done. "C'mon let's jus' make sure ya a'ight. For me. Then I'll drop ya off at my Ma's I gotta go to work. I don' want ya goin' back to that Joey guy Britt. Okay. Jus' stay with my Ma. You'll be safe there."
Brittany scowled at him. "Ya don' get it do you, I haveta go back. I ain't got no choice."
"You don' have to do anythin' you don' wanna Britt. I can keep him from hurtin' you, I can put him in jail, lock him away. Keep him from doin' this to you again." He said running his finger gently under her bruised eye. "Ya jus' gotta tell me where he is, where I can find him."
Brittany pulled her face away from him. "Would'a ya fuckin' stop touchin' me!"
Bosco narrowed his eyes. "Hey watch ya mouth."
"Whatever, shut up." She snapped.
He took her to the nurses desk. "Gotta battery victim here, she's 14. I jus' wanna make sure she's okay."
The nurse smiled at him. "Okay. Take these and have her fill them out."
Bosco took the papers and sat down next to Brittany. he handed her a pen. "Here ya need to fill these out, an' then they can see you." He said softly to her.
She ripped it from his hand. "Whatever." She snapped at him as she began to fill it out. "I'm tellin' ya ain't nothin' wrong wit' me.!"
"Well until a doctor tells me other wise, I'm makin' ya do this, because I can." Bosco told her with a smirk.
She gave him a dirty look and filled out some more of the forms, looking up when the nurse called her name. She smiled. "You can come with me Hun." The nurse looked over at her. "You'll have to wait out here sir." She said putting an arm on Brittany's shoulder. Walking away with her. "You have a real nice father, he really cares about you."
Brittany pulled away from the nurse and looked back at Bosco. "He ain't my father, he's jus' someone who likes to play hero."
The nurse looked at her, opening the door to the exam room. "A doctor will be here in a second." She told her following her in. "I'll stay here with you until then."
"Don' bother." Brittany said bitterly. "Well I have to, so don't worry. it's okay."
"Great! I get stuck with a bitch!" She said crossing her arms.
Bosco lead Brittany into Mercy hospital.
"There's no need for this, really. I'm okay." She said protesting his action.
"Well I jus' wanna make sure. A'ight that's one nasty shiner ya got there on ya face. I wanna be sure."
