I'm awfully busy this week or really for most of June, therefore I decided to post today, because I'm not sure I'll even have time to go online tomorrow…
Also, if you are waiting for an update on Seduction and Broken, I'm working on it, but it might take until the end of the month before I have the next chapters finished…
Elliot
Fuck! What the hell just happened? Oh right, Elena fucking Lincoln... a car chase and then the crash.
"You okay, bro?" I murmur and turn to face him. "Shit! Christian!" I gasp. He is passed out and blood is dripping from a huge cut on his forehead. I quickly check his pulse, but it's there and pretty strong, so I look around for something to stop the bleeding when I see the car door of Elena's car open. Oh no you don't, bitch!
Quickly, I get out of my truck and get a sledge hammer from the back.
"Get your disgusting ass on the ground, Elena you are not going anywhere." I yell when she tries to make a run for it, but before she can get away I manage to reach her and shove her to the muddy ground.
"Now, is that a way to treat a lady?" The fucking bitch laughs.
"You are a lot of things, you nasty old cunt, but a lady isn't one of them." I spit back at her.
"Oh Elliot, sweet kind Elliot, we both know you are not going to hurt me. Put that sledge hammer down, you are making a fool out of yourself, your mother has raised you better than that."
"My mother has taught me to treat women with respect and yes, I would never hurt a woman, sadly for you, you are nothing but a bitter, old, pedophile bitch and if I didn't know it would get you off I would have already beaten the bloody hell out of you!" Christ, I'm not a violent person, but knowing what she has done to my brother, Ana and their unborn child is enough for me to make me want to inflict serious pain and damage on her.
"Is that all you can do? Name calling, how sweet... you're not man enough to hurt me and we both know it." She says and an alarmed look crosses her face when she hears the sirens of the police cars coming closer.
"They're coming for you... what are you going to do now, bitch?" I ask and instantly pale when she quickly retrieves a gun from her pocket.
"Get out of my way and get your brother into my car!" She screams at me.
"You have to kill me first!" Over my dead body will I ever allow her to come near my brother again.
We both hear screeching tires, but she is still eyeing Christian, which is her mistake.
"Gun down!" I hear Taylor's loud, angry voice and when Elena aims at him he shoots the gun right out of her hand, which also has put a hole in her hand, making that old bitch howl in pain.
"Is he alive?" Taylor asks me not taking his eyes of Elena.
"Yes, just passed out from the crash."
"Stay with your brother until the cops arrive." Taylor says deathly calm and stalks over to Elena who is on the ground again crying and clutching her hand. Before I know what is happening Taylor kicks her full force in the face knocking her out cold.
"That's for Miss Steele and the baby you bitch!" He hisses at her, before he continues to handcuff her and kicks the gun out of reach.
I get into the car where Christian is still passed out in his seat and find one of Kate's scarves in the backseat to stop the blood that is still dripping from his head.
"It's over bro, we caught her and I promise from now on I'll make sure to be a better brother, no one is ever going to hurt you again." I say even though I know he can't hear me, but I just had to say it out loud once. I know I can't change what happened, but I still wonder if all of that shit would have happened to him had I made more of an effort to be his friend back when we were kids.
After the paramedics have taken Christian to the hospital and I have talked to the cops, one of Christian's security guys drives me to the hospital, while Taylor promised to get my car towed.
Even though it's getting really late I decide to call my Dad.
"Elliot, is everything alright, you never call this late." My Dad says when he picks up.
"I'm fine, Elena was arrested."
"What, when?" My Dad asks and I explain what happened.
"Shit, is your brother fine?"
"I hope so, the cops needed me to stay and he was still out of it when the paramedics took him to the hospital. I'll call you once I have seen him."
"No need, I was just leaving the precinct, I'm driving to the hospital now. Let your Mom sleep for now, she doesn't need to worry until we know more."
"Sure, see you at the hospital, Dad." I hang up and fifteen minutes later I find my Dad outside the ER.
"Any news on Christian?" I ask.
"They have taken him to the other floor for a MRI. He seems to have a nasty concussion but no internal injuries."
"Good, let me check on Ana real quick, I'll be back in a few minutes."
Heading to the ICU, I have to take the elevator and get in with a guy who is carrying a huge teddy bear.
"New baby?" I ask pointing at the bear.
"Yeah, my sister just had her first child. It's a boy, man I can't wait for the little guy to grow up, so I can take him to sports games and fishing." He says and gets out on the next floor.
Fuck, will I ever get to do anything with my little niece or nephew? I remember how my uncle Ben would take us fishing and hunting back when Christian and I were kids, Mia wasn't into it, so he would take her to do girl shit with her, but even to this day I miss those days. My Mom's brother was the best uncle in the world and I was a mess when he passed away six years ago. He always taught us to stand up for others. So, when he went to a store to buy some groceries one late evening and some drunken asshole came in with a gun he threw himself in front of the teenage girl behind the register and caught the bullet that was aimed at her.
He died before anyone could help him, but to me he died as a hero. I hope I can be as good of an uncle as my uncle was to us.
Inside Ana's room I find her mother sleeping in a chair and Ray still holding Ana's hand.
"Any news?"
"No."
"The baby?"
"Still where it's supposed to be." He says.
"We caught the woman who did this to Ana. She is under arrest."
"Where?" He asks and gets up.
"Ray, don't do anything stupid, she gets what's coming to her and they won't let you near her anyway. If it's any help, Taylor put a bullet hole through her hand before he knocked her lights out by kicking her in the face." I offer, but hell, this is his daughter lying here, fighting for her life and the life of her unborn child, so I really get why he wants to deal with her himself.
"Look at her, she is such a tiny little thing, how could anyone want to hurt her?" He murmurs looking at Ana.
"I don't get it either."
"Where's your brother?"
"He is here, we were on our way here when we saw Elena. It was a bit of a car chase and we crashed. He got a good knock on the head and is still out."
"You okay?" Ray grunts and I smirk.
"I'm fine, takes more than a little fender bender to knock me out." I mutter, maybe it's the adrenaline that keeps me going, but I don't think I have even the tiniest scratch on me.
"I need to check on my brother, he probably won't come to see Ana before tomorrow afternoon, so if you need anything ask the man in black outside, he is one of Christian's security guys, my mom will check on Ana in the morning and Kate will be back in the morning too." I explain, but before leave I step closer to Ana.
"You hang in there little lady... the same goes for you baby Grey, because I'm going to be the best uncle in the world."
A few minutes later I find my Dad and he tells me that Christian is getting situated in a private room as we speak.
"Have you called Mom?"
"I've reached your sister, your mother is sleeping, we decided to let her have some rest and Mia will tell her in the morning. Christian will be fine, I'm staying with him so he won't be alone when he wakes up."
"Dad you look tired..." I want to argue, but he holds one hand up.
"Elliot, I'm a father of three, so I had many sleepless nights over the years. I'm not leaving him. Now you go home to your girlfriend, she needs you too."
"Are you sure?" I ask and he raises one brow.
"Okay, okay... I'm leaving. Call me if something happens with... you know."
He nods, so I leave and the guy called Ryan drops me off at Kate's. I let myself in with the key she has given me a few weeks ago and find her on the sofa curled up in a blanket.
"Hey babe, I'm sorry I'm so late, but we caught the bitch."
"You did? Where is that bitch? Oh please tell me your brother beat her to a pulp!" Kate fires her questions at me while she jumps off the sofa and into my arms.
"Well he didn't, but Taylor shot a hole through her hand and kicked her in the face. Christian was passed out from the crash."
"Crash? What crash, are you hurt?" She asks and starts to run her hands all over me.
"Not that I mind your hands all over me, but I'm really tired and hungry, baby... and no I'm not hurt."
"Okay, I've ordered take out, I can heat it up for you." She says.
"And that's why I love you, baby. Each time I come home you have cold take out waiting for me." I joke and she gives me the stink eye before she heads into the kitchen to heat it up for me.
Truth be told, when I envisioned the girl that would make me want to settle down one day, I always imagined her being a great cook and more of the stay at home mom kind of woman. Yet, Kate is the exact opposite, but I'm crazy in love with her, she is passionate, honest and loyal beyond everything to the people she loves. She doesn't take any of my crap and I guess that is what I need, add the fact that she is smoking hot and likes to fuck just as much as I do and I have found myself the perfect girl.
I just hope that my brother can work things out with Ana. I don't really get the whole Dom/sub thing, but I know he loves her and she loves him, so that should be a good foundation for them to make their relationship work. I don't want my niece or nephew to grow up in a broken home and I truly believe that together they would be great parents and more so a happy family.
Hang in there little Grey you already have huge family that loves you unconditionally waiting for you...
Just to clear one thing up, no amnesia for Christian or Ana… there is enough the have to deal with without them suffering from amnesia…
