Deceived by Appearance: Chapter 18: Rated R: Language and a Small Part of
Violence: Letty's POV:
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
I groaned as my eyes slowly fluttered open. I looked around and squinted my eyes. Everything in this room was covered in white. Just like a.hospital room. My eyes widened. How the hell did I get here? I tried sitting up but regretted doing it. My back stung and my chest ached. I flopped back down on the bed and closed my eyes painfully, remembering the contents of last night.
Flashback:
I hit the wall and griited my teeth as my back stung painfully. I was bruised all over from that fucking asswipe! He got home early and the instant he saw me, his fists went flying, cursing at me and telling me to never ever see Dom ever again.
I slid down and fell flat on my side, my eyes twitching from the pain. Johnny glared down at me, his eyes shooting knives at me. "Go to hell Letty," he spat, before I all I could see was black.
End of Flashback.
I opened my eyes as one tear slid down my cheek. "I'm already there," I whispered as more tears streamed down my cheeks. I heard a soft knock on the door and I turned my head to see who it was, hoping it was Dom. The door opened and Tk poked her head through, smiling at me.
I frowned for a small second but turned it upside down into a smile. She's probably even better. "Hey hun!" she greeted sweetly as she came through the door with flowers, balloons, and.a gameboy. I smiled.
"Hey!" I greeted back wearly.
She calked over to me and kissed my forehead. "How you feeling?" she asked softly.
"Like shit. I'm hurting as hell Tk!" I groaned.
"Aww.poor baby," she cooed.
I laughed as she set the bouquet of roses on my lap. "That's from Mia," She set the ballons on the table nearby. "That's from the guys," Lastly she set the gameboy on my my lap by the flowers. "And this is from me," she smirked, " figured you might be bored."
I grinned. "Thank you. Tell everyone else I said thanks to."
"They're coming soon so you can tell them yourself," she smiled.
I nodded as she pulled a chair next to me and sat down. "Tk, how'd I end up here?" I asked her quietly.
She looked angry for a minute but softened. "Dom found you. He told us that he needed to tell you something so he left to your house. But when he got there, he found you lying on the floor bruised up and unconscious."
I furrowed my eyebrows as she continued. "So he brought you here and called us to come over. You should've seen him, Lett. He was so worried about you."
"Yeah, right," I snickered, "he doesn't want anything to do with a Tran, Tk."
"You're not one of them Lett," she smiled softly, "you actually have a heart."
I just shook my head and sighed. "So how are you and Vince? You two make a cute couple," I smirked, changing the subject.
"Don't we?" she squealed, "He's so hot, Lett! I think I loooooooooove him!"
"You love everyone!" I chuckled.
"So? It ain't nice to be hatin' ya know?" she ginned, laughing along with me.
I smiled. "Thank you," I whispered.
"For what?" she raised an eyebrow.
"For sticking beside me. You're the only person that has ever really done that for me," I replied, giving her a soft gentle smile.
"Girl, I love you. I wouldn't ever let you face something like this alone. You're like my sister hun. If you cry, I cry," she grinned. I smiled with a hearty chuckle. "Thanks."
"No problem."
We heard the door open and saw Dom coming through the door. I looked at Tk with a what-should-I-do face. She shook her head. "I'm here for you.but I can't watch your back all the time," she whispered. She got up and after softly kissing my forehead, she walked out the door, giving Dom and icy glance. Your murderer. You hurt my girl, I hurt you, he remebered him saying. He shivered a bit and walked up to Letty holding flowers in his hand.
"Hey," he whispered.
"Hey," I whispered back. He sat down beside me and placed the flowers on the table. He took my hand in his and kissed it. He looked at me with so much emotion in his eyes, it made my heart melt.
"I.I want to be part of your life.part of your family," he whispered, massaging my knuckles. I looked at him with wide eyes.
"What?" I choked.
