Rescued by a Gang Member

Chapter 11:

I felt odd tugging on my wrist and my eyes were extremely heavy. Pain wracked my body and my throat burned as if someone had lit a fire on my stomach. The last thing I remember was yelling at randy. Then nothing.

"Ow!" I yelled out when the tugging got worse and I finally opened my eyes, blinded by the white light.

"Oh dear." A nurse said as she cut off the string she was using and bandaged my wrist. The tugging was her giving me stitches. "You weren't meant to wake up, my dear."

"Well I am." I snapped and watcher her eyes widen.

"I'll go get the doctor." She said and turned and just about ran from the room. I scared her, and the thought made me smile.

A middle aged man came in with a clipboard and smiled softly at me. He had salt and pepper hair and dark brown eyes that almost looked black.

"How are you Kylie?" He asked and I shrugged.

"Fine I guess. Why am I here?" I asked and felt as if I didn't want to know the answer.

"You tried to kill yourself. You were brought into our er and left there. Whoever brought you turned and ran before we could get any information. We didn't know your name until someone else came and claimed they had your purse. That's how we knew your name. But you and the baby are perfectly fine." He said and then pulled out a folded piece of paper. "This is for you. You had it in your hand when you got here."

I took the paper from him and he turned and left. I unfolded it and what I read just broke my heart.

Kylie,

I love you. Don't question that. I'm leaving you for your own good. If you want to still be with me, please, text or call me. My number will be the same for you, sweetie. This is breaking my heart but I made you stay with me. I want you to be with me because you choose to. If you don't want to see me, at least send me pictures of our child. That's all I ask. Take care of yourself, my love.

I stared at the paper and tears fell from my eyes. He left me. Randy actually fucking left me! My sob echoed in the silent room and I curled into a ball and just say there, crying for a good 20 minutes before a new nurse returned with a packet of papers and asked me to sign the release form. Then she nodded her head towards the sink where my clothes sat and my purse.

When she left I got up and walked to my clothes. I pulled off the gown and pulled on my faded blue jeans with rips down the thighs and a black long sleeve shirt with the black hoodie of Randy's. The gang one. My sigh echoed as I pulled on the jacket and my black vans and grabbed my purse, sticking the paperwork in it before seeing that my keys were in it too. They brought my car?

I left the hospital and hit he alarm button on my key chain and found my car sitting right up front. They really were letting me leave. I sighed and honestly felt a little sad that they were just letting me go so easily. When I started my car and heard the familiar purr I relaxed before racing out of the hospital and up towards my house in Oregon.

It took a few hours but i finally made it home and parked my car in the garage before walking inside and looking around. Boxes were in the living room and I knew instantly that it was my stuff from Randy's house. I pulled out my phone and looked at it. New text message.

How is it being home? -r

Boring. Lonely. But I'll get used to it. -k

I'm really sorry -r

It's no big deal. Did you read my letter? -k

What letter? -r

Check your desk. I'm going shopping. Bye. -k

I put my phone back in my purse and walked to the kitchen and looked in the cupboards and fridge. Absolutely nothing. It really was time to go shopping so I grabbed my purse and left again to find the nearest Walmart.

When I finally found Walmart I was so happy. I walked in and grabbed a cart and got stuff for my house and food and the cart was loaded by the time I was done. It felt as if I was being watched when I was looking at baby stuff.

I spun around and saw drake watching me. My first instinct was to ignore him until he started walking towards me. I grabbed a few outfits I thought were cute and put them in the cart just as drake came to my side and held out an outfit that says daddy's angel. My heart broke further and I looked up at drake with tears in my eyes.

"What are you doing here?" I ask once my emotions are under control.

"Just checking on you. Randy doesn't know I'm here. He thinks I'm visiting family in Portland." He said and ran his fingers through his hair. "I'm just glad to see you alive. I found you, you know. What were you thinking? Suicide? What about that little life inside of you?"

My hand settled on my belly and I rubbed it softly. "I wasn't thinking." I admitted. "I was so upset and mad that he called me while fucking Monica that I did the only thing I thought I could do to get away from him. He wasn't going to let me leave, drake."

His eyes narrowed and darkened. "He did what?"

I looked down and felt drake lifting my face up to look into his eyes. That's when I broke down and he wrapped me in his arms and I just cried into his chest. He whispered soft stuff into my ear and rubbed my back until I was finally out of tears and pulled back. I couldn't help but smile when he held out a bandana to me and I took it and wiped my tears.

"So when do you head back?" I asked and went back to shopping.

He stayed by my side and actually took the cart so that I wasn't pushing something so heavy. It made me feel happy, that he was so gentle and caring unlike Randy's bipolar actions.

"I don't know. I need to go find a motel to stay in." He said as we headed to check out and he pulled out a gold card before I could even pull out my wallet. He paid for the items and then we headed out to my car and I loaded everything.

"Come stay at my house. I have the room." I said and he smiled at me.

"I'd like that. I'll follow you since I've got the suv." He said and I nodded and climbed into my car. His suv was parked besides my car so when I left, he easily followed and soon enough, both cars were parked in my garage and he was helping me to bring all the bags into the house.

Once everything was out away I ordered a pizza and sat on the couch with drake as we watched tv. I relaxed and pulled a blanket around myself and caught a glimpse of drake staring at me. He seemed relaxed and I jumped at the sound of my doorbell. He got up and paid the pizza man and came back and opened the box.

"Eat up, Kylie." He said and took a piece for himself. I grabbed a piece and took a bite just as my phone buzzed on the table with a text message. I grabbed it and opened the messages.

I feel horrible now. I love you, Kylie. Let me be yours again, I promise I won't fuck up again. I can't be away from you and our baby for this long. It was a mistake to let you go. -r

I stared to cry and drake took my phone and read the text before he deleted it and put my phone next to him and pulled me into his lap. He cradled me and stroked my hair as I cried and ended up falling asleep.
