Short Chapter again, but things are going to get better, I promise.
"You're finally up sleepy head?" Dimitri's velvet voice wrapped around me and I knew once and for all that I was safe right where we were.
But exactly where were we?
I lift my head up, and realize that there was no pain; I wasn't even attached to any machines. I must had had an anxiety attack and blacked out.
"You had—"Dimitri started.
"I know, I know. Where are we?" I didn't want him to tell me what I already knew, that I was too weak and couldn't keep my emotions straight so I panicked.
I took my surroundings in; needing to feel reassured that we were not at a hospital. I couldn't be at a hospital that would make things much worse than me being dead.
"We're at my mother's friend's clinic. Don't worry stay down. She's not calling the authorities. As much as I would like to do that and make that sick fucker pay for what he did to you, we need a lot of planning before we do that. If we do it in a rush, I know you and your brothers would go to a foster home and I promised you that there was no way I was going to let that happen" Dimitri looked into my eyes and in them I saw the feelings I always wanted to see in my mother, worry and love.
"But—""
"Shh Roza. Nothing wrong is going to happen on my watch I promise. You and your brothers are going to start new. I let Viktor know that if he came looking for you guys, it was going to go much worse than what I did"
That made me smile. I knew Dimitri had done more than teach Viktor a lesson; he had done what I wanted to do for so long, which was kicked the shit out of that fucker. But by the laws of nature, he was stronger than me, therefore I had my limitations. I only wished I had been conscious to see Dimitri kick ass.
"When can we go…" I let the sentence hanging because I didn't know what to call Dimitri's home. Was it a home to me? Do I say your place? Your house?
"When are we going home?" He lifted his eyebrow in that magnificent way that made me feel both amazed and jealous because I couldn't do it.
Home. Yes, I knew that was what Dimitri's place was going to become.
"As soon as Dr. Olendzki gets done with your check up, we're out of here. And before you ask, Mason and Eddie are at my place with Tasha, most likely sleeping already. You have nothing to worry about Roza. You have me, I'll protect you"
For the first time in my life, I believed those words.
