Chapter 3! enjoy.
(Sophia's p.o.v)
We pulled into the hospital, my aunt and I in one and the jackass in the other. My hands were wrapped in a soft towel, the paramedics where trying to slow the blood loss. They were nothing but a dull throb by now, but my hands weren't what I was afraid of... we were pulled out of the van and into the hospital. 5 nurses instantly came to help my aunt, a 6th came but stopped at me. She reached down and carefully grabbed my hands, hissing when she removed the towel.
"Come dear" she said "Lets tend to these hands" I didn't move, only looked at my aunt being wheeled away, Natalie came running into the hospital and looked around. She sighed when she found me, she ran up and took my arm. "Miss, we have to look at those hands" but I still wouldn't move, Nat squeezed my shoulder.
"Soph" she whispered, I slowly turned to her "She'll be fine, let's go"
I looked at her but followed the nurse, she led me into a small side wing. Natalie's hand never left my arm and with a gentle squeeze my eye were slowly glancing at hers. I'm not sure what was with me, everything was moving in slow motion but I think it had more to do with the fact that my body was still deciding if I should be scared, nervous, hurting or extremely PISSED OFF!
How could I have not seen it... though maybe I did. I just didn't want to except it because Aunty was the only family I had left and I didn't want to think that such a strong person could be reduced to the mess she's in now. I was such a fool. I was such a horrible Niece. she deserved so much better and it pissed me off that I hadn't done this years ago.
"Are you okay?' she asked, I nodded my head.
"I'm fine" I growl before turning to glare at the wall.
The nurse had let to get a few supplies. Nat sighed and set down the bloody cloth. She sat down in the chair opposite for me and gently took my chin. Then turned my face to look at her. It kicked my in the gut as I saw the sad smile on her face. The sad fucking pity party she was giving me right now.
"Come on, I know you better than that." she whispered,
My eyes flashed a dangerous glare and the pity smile soon fell away. All I wanted to do was scream at someone right now and here she was giving me a fucking PITY party?! I was met with a challenging glare from Nat, my eyes locked with hers and we sat their glaring at each other in silence.
"Don't say your fucking fine Sophia, you and I BOTH know that's fucking bull-shit. You don't want pity then fine, you wont get it from me but only if your going to do something about it. So stop being a fucking idiot and tell me what your thinking or I swear to god I'll beat it out of you, and I don't give a shit if your injured or not..." she growls in an dangerously low voice.
The death glare was still on my face but she had a point. I never did well with pity. It was something that mad me feel inferior to others, its the only thing I had gotten my whole life and I was sick of it. I wasn't some helpless girl that freaked out and ran away. But Natalie's words seemed to slice through my cleverly built walls and soon that glare was falling off my face and tears swam in front of my vision.
"I, I..." I bit my lip "I just feel so stupid, how is it that im a star at sports, a A+ student AT school and our "job" I quoted the name "But it took me over 10 years to figure out it had been him"
Soon the nurse came back in and removed the once white towel from my right hand. The blood started rolling down my fingers, the lines thin and little. Like someone took a crayon and was drawing on my fingers, Nat winced.
"On a scale of 1-10 how much do they hurt?" the nurse asked, I shot her a "Are you kidding me?" look.
A small gasp leaves her lips and Natalie glares at me threatingly.
"I'm fine" I say and pull my hands away, Nat smacks me across the head.
"It's not her fault you broke your hands, so stop being an ass!" she glared at me and I glared back at her.
I Sighed loudly and give her my hand back. A few seconds later the front doors slid open and three girls stormed in, the first one slammed her hand on the counter. Causing everything on the counter to rattle loudly and the nurse to jump three feet out of her chair.
"Where the fuck is she!" she growled, the nurse's face paled a bit in fear.
Security was called before the second girl intervened. I froze, instantly recognizing that voice. I sent a death glare at Nat.
"You called them!" I hiss, she shoots me a "No shit" look.
"Of course I did, they were worried about you" she rolls her eyes "ALEX!" she yells
Alex glances over at us before smashing a thing of paper to the floor and storming towards us. The attendant stands up and calls after her, I do everything in my power to NOT smack myself in the face before I lean over the papered bed.
"Its all right" I yell "Sorry, she's with me!" the nurse looks annoyed but sat down and waved security away, I shot Alex a look. "Was that really n-" I was cut off by a massive bone crushing hug. "Oh, hi to you too!" I squeaked.
After a few seconds she lets me go, I took in a deep breath. Christina and maria came over and both gently hugged me.
"Are you okay?" she asked, I nodded my head.
"Okay, what the hell happened?" Alex said, she crossed her arms and waited for an answer. I sighed and began to tell them my story, the nurse started popping my knuckles back into place. about half way through my story she had finished and reached over for some antiseptic, I didn't move as she poured it on. but when she reached for the numbing ointment I stopped her.
"I don't need that" I said, she looked at me and I smiled "I'm serious, I've had worse. I really don't need it."
She set it down and slowly picked up the needle, I continued my story. By the time she was done I was done, she was wrapping up my hands when the doors opened up. She had pinned the last bandage when I saw who had come in, the girls looked up and swore. The nurse turned around and I shot off the bed, the girls shot around to and tried to grab me.
"Sophia!" Alex yelled.
The JACKASS himself had been wheeled in to the hospital. I WAS SO GOING TO KILL HIM... he looked up at the noise and freaked out. Trying to get off the bed he was strapped too.
"Get me away from her!" he yells "SHE'LL KILL ME!"
The nurses looked up, unfortunately Alex swung her arms around my body. I shrieked angrily as she pulled me to a stop about three steps from him. The idiot was freaking out like a little girl. Nat and Chrissy had caught up with us, both grabbed my body and hauled me away from him.
"Let me go you guys, let me go goddamn it!" I shrieked.
"No way Soph!" Al said as they hauled me back to the booth I was in, I shrieked loudly and struggled the whole way there.
"Sophia you got him, now let it go!" Al said and locked me in a wrestlers bear hug, I struggled against her but it was no use. The doctors had wheeled him out of my reach, I still tried to get out. Nat reached over and grabbed my face.
"Soph, shhh." Nat said, her voice trying to sooth me
"Look at him" Chrissy whispered
I sent a death glare in his direction and soon I see a yellow puddle slowly forming under the bed jackass was tied to, his face was deathly white and his body shook with uncontrollable fear. This man was fucking pathetic... and for some reason that pissed me off more.
"Let it go, he's done. shhh, he's done." Nat whispers "He's done"
She ran her thumbs across my cheeks, My eyes filled with angry tears. Some from fear, some from anger, but mostly from the utter guilt that filled my body. A sob shock my shoulders and my body fell slack against the floor, Alex loosened her grip and let me go. I heard them all sigh in relief as Natalie pulled me to her body. I shock with shuttering breathes and quiet sobs. Nat whispered soothing things into my ear as her hand gently brushed through my hair.
A few minutes later the doctors came up, he eyed me u and down for a second. I wasn't sure if it was from fear or wonder, at the moment I could give a shit and sent him a small glare.
"Young lady, are you going to calm down or are we going to have to drug you?" he said in a surprisingly calm voice.
I glance up at him, and push myself out of Nat's arms. Gently wipe my eyes and put on my work face. I huffed and brought my feet to my chest. I glared at the floor, Nat smirked.
"She'll be fine" she said "Sorry for all the trouble" he smiled.
"It's all right, if I was in her place I would have done the same thing." he said and looked at all of us "You five seem to be quite the group."
Alex snorted loudly, Nat sent her a light look to shut up with Alex answered with a finger in the air. I smiled a bit at that but my eyes never looked back at the doctor, I glanced out the window in annoyance. I glanced to the side when I felt fingers gently running themselves through my hair, Chrissie sends me a small smile as she fixes the clump of tangled mess.
"Well, thanks I guess. Its safe to say this has not been our first rodeo." Nat continues.
We had been sitting in the small room for over an hour. I kept glancing at the door in annoyance and hoped for some miracle that Nat would let me blast it to smithereens, that in itself was a long shot. So, I settled with kicking the wall in annoyance. There was a small hole about three inches deep in the wall. the girls where laying around the room on chairs. Alex was draped over the arms of the chair, Chrissie and Maria where sleeping on the long couch I smiled a bit as Maria hand curled a bit tighter around Chrissie's body. Nat was reading a book, her legs where crossed on the cushioned chair. I watched as she nibbled on her bottom lip, she did that when she was reading something inappropriate most likely sex. I annoyingly kicked the wall again.
"Okay, if you don't stop that I'm going to breaking more than just your hands" Alex growls annoyed
"Well, this is fucking bull-shit" I growl lowly.
"Yes, well the wall cant really stand much more of your kicking" Alex smirks "and your driving me up the fucking wall with the sound" I glance at her as she curls her hands behind her head to grab the arm of the chair. She puts her feet on the other arm and kicks off, I watch as she flips backwards and lands on the ground in front of me. I watch as she pulls a dance move and spins up in a circle to face me"So why don't you go a few rounds with me instead" she smirks.
"Dauphine says we cant find outside of the house" Natalie says, we both glance at her in annoyance. I smile at Alex and grab her hand and flip off the chair to land and roll across the floor. I stand up and spin to face Alex with a smile "But you two aren't going to listen to me anyway are you?" Nat sighs in annoyance.
"Well, her hands should be healed by now" Alex shrugs "And were standing in a fucking hospital, Sophia kinda broke that rule already" I glance at Nat and sent her a small smile, Nat rolls her eyes and hides her face back in her book
"fine, just don't break anything"
"Oh please" Alex smirks "What kind of girl do you take me for" Alex cracks her knuckles loudly
"Oh I know exactly what type of GIRL you are, that's why I said no breaking things" Nat adds with a flat voice..
Loud crunching noises echoed around the room as I curled my hands into a ball, and smile as the cast slowly started to crack. I spin around and smashed my hands against the wall before smashing my arms together twice. The cast cracked loudly after the second time and with a flick of my hands the whole thing crumpled into small chunks and fell into the garbage can. I glance up at Alex challengingly as I dust my healed hands off, she sends me a cocky smile.
"Does Sophia count as something?"
I couldn't help but smirk as Nat slowly lowers her book to stare dead-faced at Alex, a look of "Say one more thing and I will break you in half" stared at both of us.
I flipped out of the way of Alex's foot, I sent her a smile as the sound echoed across the room. I throw two left punches at her and combo with a foot, she dodges the punches but isn't fast enough for the foot. She does block it with her hands but the force sends her back a few steps. She counters by falling back into a handspring and kicking me back a few steps, I send her a look as I wipe a little bit of blood from my bottom lip. I run forwards a bit and jump into the air, Alex rolls out of the air as my fist smashes against the floor. I flip my hair out of my face and send her a smile. I smirk and flip the other direction and throw my right foot over my head and smash it onto the ground. Alex quickly throws her legs into the splits, my foot rested a centimeter away form her crotch. she wiggled her eye brows at me before placing her hands on the floor and drawing back her legs back threw them. she kicked off the floor and threw them over in a bridge formation. I slide out of the way as she lands where I just stood, she stands out of the bridge and sends me a smile. She runs and kicks off the floor before throws a side kick at me, I grab her foot and throw it away form me.
She flips backwards and lands on the wooden table. Her left foot had gently hit the side of a metal chair, both our eyes widened as it fell backwards. kicking out her right foot she hocked it behind the back of the chair and caught it mid-fall. We both glance at Nat, her book slowly lowers down to give us an eye brow raise. Alex smiles and gently tips the chair back up the right way. Nat says nothing but lifts her book back up. With a smirk I jump into the air and throw another side kick, my foot barely misses her as I land on the table with a semi quiet thump. Alex had dodged to the left of my foot so when I landed I flipped my feet out and kicked off the wall, I mentally swore as I launched myself back at her but she was gone.
I spun through the air and threw my feet over my head, turning my spin into a backflip and landing. My feet slide back a few inches and I now stood on the opposite side of the room. I thought I had her But of course Alex saw it coming and I stood there watching as she lazily back hand springs across the room three times before flipping backwards in the air and balancing on the handles of a chair in a handstand, she lifts her head up to look at me with a cocky smile. I fell a bunch of tingles run down my back and twist on my right foot, I do a high spin kick as the door opens up, and I hear a loud gasp. I don't have to look to know who it is.
"Oh, hello doctor" Alex says with a smile, he glances at her in shock. His mouth falls open a bit as she throws her feet forwards, flips two times mid air and lands on the chair with her hands sitting calmly in her lap "Is there any news?"
The girls smirk quietly as her faces holds a look of pure innocence, he blinks a few times in confusion which causes the girls to throw their hands over their mouths to muffle the laughter.
"How is my aunt" I say, my eyes turn to the doctor. He swallows and eyes up the bottom of my foot. It was currently frozen half a centimeter from his face. I half smirk and bend my knee before lowering my leg back down to the ground. He clears his throat as he eyes up the rest of the girls.
"Well..." He clears his throat as he eyes up the rest of the girls.
"Soph" Nat says gently
I roll my eyes at her and put my hands up in mock surrender before spinning around and walking to a chair on the opposite side of the room. With a "Are you happy now?" look I plopped into the chair with a huff and leaned on my left hand that was curled into a tight fist. The doctor glanced at my hands in shock and then notices the remains of the cast in the garbage. I sent him a "Ask us... I dare you" look, he just swallows and stares at us weirdly.
"How IS my aunt?!" I ask again, I was starting to get re-pissed off again.
"She'll live. The bullet pierced her abdomen and it will take a few surgeries to make sure all the pieces are removed." he says cautiously.
"Money is not a problem for us, just do what you need." Nat said, I curl my hand into a fist.
This jackass had been doing this for years and no one was fucking smart enough to realize it had been him the whole time! Like how many times had she come to the hospital for things that got broken?
"But what I'm mostly concerned with is the hit to her head, she lost a lot of blood and I'm scared she might have a third degree concussion. If were not able to stable her she might slip into a coma..." he said.
"WHAT?!" I yell, I was really ready to kill that monster now.
"Sophia!" Nat and Al yelled, they both shoot after me. I ducked under Nat and dodged Alex. The doctor called security, a few second later 7 guys burst into the room. I smirked, the first guy charged at me. I swung my fist and hit him in the stomach, using my foot I knocked him to his knee's and smashed his head into the desk. He fell to the floor, blood was pouring from his nose. I picked him up and threw him back into the other two guards, running up to the third one I jumped in the air and wrapped my legs around his neck. Twisting my upper body I rolled to the floor, sending him in a downwards spiral to the ground. (I stole that move from iron man three, the move Natasha does to take down the one guard in the building.) I picked up his baton too and looked at the guard, each one had pulled out there tazors. I moved my foot into a defensive mode, standing my guard. I calmly rolled the sticks in my fingers.
"You have one chance to move or I'll drop you!" I say to the last three, I quickly spin the weapons around my body and hold them in a resting position. "You have three seconds!" they don't move "3" nothing "2" I look at each of them "1" I whisper, I go to run.
"Sophia Marie Jones!" A voice yells, I slide to a halt and look around the room "That is quite enough young lady, drop those weapons now!" A tall man walks out from the crowd and my mouth dropped.
I had not seen him in years...
The weapons slowly slipped from my fingers and fell to the floor. A semi quiet "thunk" was the only thing heard, as the entire room had fallen silent. I closed my mouth and swallowed, not believing what I was seeing.
"Detective barn's?" I whispered.
"Sophia!" Natalies voice yelled, I screamed and fell to the floor.
"What the hell Nat" I say rubbing my now REALLY sore ass, she stood in front of me smirking.
"Let's go. I've been calling you for the past five minutes!" she rolls her eyes and tosses me my jacket, I send a death glare her way. Nat just laughed and shoves me out the door to lock up. The others roll around front, Gwen rolls down her window.
"Run the sleeping giants up!" she squeals, the others start laughing.
I flip her off and walk to my car, turning it on I glance at the clock. 7:42 looked back at me.
"Shit!" I face-palmed "Conner's going to kill us!"
I groan, the others gasp and seconds later 4 cars go speeding out of the parking lot.
Okay, peace out.
