"Talk to me baby" Lucas said putting her on the bed Leah wouldn't let him go. "What happened ?" he asked holding her
"Michael was at walmart waiting for me to leave" she said sniffling "he beat me in the middle of the store and nobody, not a soul helped me. Well except for the people in the garden section." she said holding her head down and wiping her tears
"how did he know you were at walmart ?" he asked pulling up from her
"I don't know, I don't ever know" she cried
"let me look at you" he said trying to move her head."No" she said pulling his hands down.
"Look at my shirt baby it's bloody let me look at you" he said trying again
Leah finally budged and looked at him, before she looked up she seen her blood on his shirt and started crying again. "It's bad ?" she asked crying.
Lucas got mad and forced her off of him and stood up, he stared at her for few seconds.
"Baby please I need you" she said reaching for him
"Where were Marcus and Mack ?" he asked grabbing the first aid " why didn't you go to the hospital babe ? you probably need stitches I could've met you up there" he said cleaning her face.
"I didn't want to give him the satisfaction" she sniffled
"Where were the kids ?" he asked patting her cut
"Hiding in the bathroom" she winced "that hurts" she whined
"I'm sorry" he said blowing on it "I'm sorry I wasn't there for you this time, you are never allowed to leave the house without me ever again do you hear me ?"
Leah nodded her head and looked at his shirt "I'm sorry"
"Fuck the shirt all I care about is you and my kids, I'm so sorry I couldn't be there baby I would've killed his ass" he said applying bandaging her up,
"Then I would've lost you" she said sniffling and tearing up
"No I'm not going any damn where , you hear me ?" he asked holding her cheeks
She nodded her head and sniffled "I'm glad my babies didn't see how my face got like these they only seen me fucked up" she chuckled.
Lucas finished cleaning her up and started a bath for her "get in the tub I'm going to get the kids ready for bed" he said taking her shoes off.
She nodded her head and walked over to the bathroom, she put her head down before looking at herself in the mirror "you don't have to, you don't have to, you don't have to" she kept repeating to herself. She didn't want to look at herself anymore until she felt like she had to. She walked away from the mirror and took her clothes off, she got in the tub an relaxed her body.
"If that wound continues to bleed we'll have to go to the hospital" Lucas said picking up her clothes and putting them in the dirty clothes hamper
"No" she said leaning up "I'm not going to the hospital Lucas"
"I'm not arguing with you about this" he said sitting on the toilet
She shook her head and looked down "no" she said stern
"I am not arguing with you-"
"NO LUCAS NO" she yelled, he just stared at her and mugged her
"You are not bleeding out in front of me and possibly get a infection on your fucking face, you are going to the hospital tomorrow morning if I wake up and see that shit is still fucking bleeding I'm not playing with you" he said mugging her and talking in a serious tone
Leah rolled her eyes and leaned back, she focused her eyes on him "no"
"GOT DAMN IT LEAH-" he began to yell "what if my baby isn't okay ?" he asked standing up "matter fact we're going now"
"I WOULD FEEL IT LUCAS" she yelled putting her knees to her chest.
"Stop" he chuckled " leah you don't get to act like this just stop"
"The baby is fine" she sniffled
"Yeah well you're not" he said walking out the bathroom "YOU'RE FUCKING STUBBORN" he yelled from the room
Leah rolled her eyes and put her head underwater. she opened her eyes and started to think about the events of today. "I have to leave" she said to herself holding her breathe "he's here he found me once again" she said to herself in disbelief.
"LEAH" lucas yelled snatching her from the water she started coughing violently an held on to his shirt. "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING ?" he yelled grabbing her shoulders
"I was thinking lucas" she cried out
Lucas pulled her into a hug and started crying "please don't ever do no shit like that again Leah you scared the fuck out of me"
"I'm sorry I wasn't trying to do that I just needed a minute to think I'm sorry baby" she said hugging him.
"You scared the fuck out of me, get out the damn tub" he said placing his hand on his forehead.
"I'm sorry" she whined kissing him.
"Fuck" he exhaled handing her, her towel and wiping his tears"I'm sorry baby" she said grabbing his face "I'm so sorry I didn't mean to scare you I would never do that to you or the kids."
He pulled her in for a hug and held her, when Lucas was a kid he found his sister unresponsive in a tub and she later on died in the hospital he was only 9 when he found her, seeing Leah like that triggered him.
"I'm so sorry baby" leah said running her fingers through his hair "I'm sorry"
"It's okay" he said letting her go and walking into the room.
Leah gained the courage to look at herself in the mirror, she wiped the fog away and took a deep breath before looking up. When she looked up and stared at herself and shook her head, she touched her face and winced. She didn't realize a bruise on her from when he slammed her down, Leah didn't tell Lucas the full story her body is lowkey hurting. She winced when she tried to touch it Lucas walked in the bathroom and noticed her side and half of the bruises on her back she didn't see.
"We're going to the hospital" he said giving her a hard stare
Leah nodded her head and tried to walk towards him but winced when she accidently grazed her side "Ow" she whined.
"Here" lucas said handing her some clothes "I'm putting the kids in the car now" he said walking out
Leah nodded her head and got dressed slowly she winced after every move she made. "This shit hurts so damn bad" she whined putting her shirt on. Before Leah put her pants on she felt wetness coming down her leg "no" she cried out "no no no" she cried again "LUCAS" she yelled before collapsing on the floor. "Lucas" she cried out. Lucas ran in the room and noticed the blood. "Fuck" he said before picking her up and carrying her into the car.
