Chapter 21

⚠️⚠️ mentions of blood and slightly graphic description

Jaden pov

I woke up when I felt Leela move about. But was entirely too tired to physically get up, so I laid my head back down and fell asleep. That was until I felt Leela hitting my chest, quite hard.

"Daddy, you need to wake up." She said as she continued to hit me.

"Leela, stop hitting me." I said as I lightly grabbed her wrist.

"But daddy, come see." She said as she tried to drag me by my wrist.

"I'm coming baby, I'm coming. Just give me a minute." I mumbled as I stood up and followed her out, rubbing my eyes slightly.

"Look." She said as she pointed to Roxy's body.

Blood. She was surrounded by dried out blood. She had pulled the stitches and ripped them. I sighed as I picked the dogs up and put them in their little cage area to stop them getting in the way.

"Is she okay daddy?" Leela asked as she turned away from Roxy.

"She'll be just fine baby, why don't you go and sit in the bedroom for a little bit while I sort this out?" I suggested as I guided her towards back to the room.

"Can I have your phone?" She asked as she sat in the bed. I sighed and shook my head at her playfully.

"What will I do with you?" I asked playfully as I pulled out my phone, unlocking it and placing it in her hands. "I'll be back in a bit."

Roxy pov

I woke up to someone shaking me awake. I groaned and tried to push them away from me. When they didn't move, I opened one eye to see Jaden squatting down next to me.

"Why the fuck are you staring at me in my sleep? Do you know how fucking creepy that is?" I sniped, my head hurting from the vodka I drank.

"Good morning to you too." He said sarcastically. "You should probably wake up and go to the hospital though." He said as he sat back onto the floor.

"And why would that be?" I asked as I laid back down on my arm, not interested in the conversation.

That was until I felt something liquidy touch my head. I pulled away quickly and looked up to see Jaden sat there with a smirk. I looked down and saw red.

"What the fuck?" I asked, supposedly to myself, but Jaden decided his voice needed to be heard again.

"You must've ripped the stitches in the night. Might want to go and get them sorted." He explained as he pulled my arm, showing me the ripped stitching in it.

"No, that's not necessary." I said as I stood up. I walked over to the kitchen. I always keep a kit under the sink, just in case something happens.

"You can't be serious." Jaden scoffed as I pulled the kit out, along with a bottle of rubbing alcohol.

"Oh I am. Deadly." I said as I took out the old stitches.

I poured the rubbing alcohol over the cut, wincing slightly at the burning sensation, but dropping my face afterwards. I wiped the cut and started to use the kit with my right hand to thread through the plastic stitching. Once it was done, I poured some more rubbing alcohol over it, causing a bit more pain due to the new open wounds I had created. I did this all while Jaden was over in the corner, losing his shit and wincing a lot.

"Dude, calm down. It's not like it's happening to you." I pointed out as he was just sat there watching me with a horrified look on his face.

"You just like pain don't you?" He finally managed to spit out as he looked like he was going to be sick.

"You look like you're going to throw up." I laughed as I put the kit away, getting out a normal med kit to get a bandage wrap out.

"Well not many people enjoy watching someone give themselves stitches. Made my fucking stomach churn." He pointed out as he stood up.

"It was nothing." I laughed as he looked at me like I had murdered someone.

"You're fucking crazy." He laughed.

"I'm really sorry about yesterday, by the way. I know how much danger I could've put Leela in, and I understand why you were so aggressive towards that fact. I wouldn't ever dream of putting her in harms way, and I know it's not an excuse, but I was just in shock and not thinking straight. Even with the alcohol in my system, I still understand how deadly that can be, and I just wanted something else to focus my mind on." I said as I looked down. I could've done some serious damage yesterday if he hadn't had stopped me.

"Well, I guess it's okay. I know that you would never do that, but if anything like that ever happens again I will have to completely leave for her safety." He said as I nodded. "Which is why I think I want someone else to perform her surgery." Fucking what.

"You can't do that." I protested. It's not even for me.

"Yes I can."

"No Jaden, I don't think you understand how much danger you could put her in. I shouldn't be telling you this, but as it stands, she has a 40-60 chance of surviving this surgery. And unfortunately the odds don't sway in the way we want them to. If you have anyone else perform that surgery, as soon as her heart stops beating and they can't get her back, they'll give up. You know I'm not like that. I wasn't when she was born, and I'd do anything to keep her alive should anything happen to her. If anyone else fucks up this surgery, there will be no way to correct it without killing her. Her body is too weak to combat another surgery after this one. I know I fucked up last night, but I am probably one of the only people that will giver her half a chance of surviving." I explained as I saw his face drop.

"She has a higher chance of dying than surviving?" He whispered as he sat down on the sofa.

"She's not going to die, because I would never let that happen. I promise you that I will do everything in my power to make sure she survives. After she wakes up, and she will wake up, she will be able to live out a long life. I promise you will get to chase away all of her boyfriends when she's older." I tried to ease his mind by making a joke.

"You promise me?" He asked with his eyes glossing over.

"Cross my heart and hope to fucking die. I will make sure she wakes up." I said as I walked over and hugged him.
