Adopted by a Gang Leader

Chapter-8

Klint's POV

I roughly wipe away the single tear that fell down. They took Flora into the ER a half an hour or so ago. The bullet is pretty deep so the doctors are still operating on her.

The guilt is eating me alive. That innocent little girl is in there on her death bed because of me. She came out of the house to save me and then got shot. It's all my fault. All my fucking fault. I'm a monster who did this to her.

I feel a hand on my shoulder making me look up. Liam stands there giving me reassuring smile but I can see by his bloodshot eyes that he has been crying. He is quite attached to Flora. He never gets attached easily or trust someone so I was quite surprised by that knowledge myself.

He sits on the floor beside me and rubs circles on my back reassuringly. No I can't do this to him. Everyone I care for get's hurt. I realized today that I truly care for that innocent little girl. One of the only few lights left in this world. That little girl who cares for everyone around her more that herself. The adorable little girl who has somehow managed to break down my walls.

Liam will also get hurt because of me. I might deny it but I do care for him and I can't do that to him. No the day he gets hurt because of me will kill me.

"Leave" I whisper my voice cracking as I try to hold back tears. This hurts but I'll be selfish if I keep him around and risk his life. "What" He asks confused and shocked. I stand up brushing some dust off my pants. I point towards the exit and growl out, "leave" avoiding eye contact trying to sound mean/stern.

My heart breaks as I see the hurt in his face. I want nothing more than to have him in my life. He's my best friend and I would die for him but he will get hurt if he stays by my side.

"No" He replies sternly. "JUST LEAVE GOD DAMMIT. YOU WILL ALSO GET HURT BECAUSE OF ME. WHY CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?" I yell at him I punch the wall beside me making a hole in it.

Tears gather in his eyes making my heart ache. "I'm not leaving today or ever in fact" Liam growls out at me. "WHY" I yell pacing around as i run my hand through my hair frustratedly.

"BECAUSE I LOVE YOU, YOU IDIOT" Liam yells at me with tears running down his face. My steps come to halt as I turn to him with wide eyes. "W-what?" I stutter out.

Liam opens his mouth to say something but we were interrupted by the doctor coming out of Flora's room.

"Boss" He greets me making me snap my head. Oh did I mention I brought her to the nearest warehouse and thankfully my best doctor is stationed here for the month.

I clear my throat and reply, "Yes?" "She's stable condition though she is still unconscious." He say as I just nod as a reply and walk past him into the ER.

I walk into the room to see Flora hooked onto a IV and a oxygen mask and a machine to keep an eye on her heart best. She looked tiny compared to all those machines and the hospital bed.

She looked insanely pale and fragile. My heart ached at the sight of her in such an weak condition. Today when she shot the three men behind me who were about to inject me with something and I didn't notice I was shocked. I didn't know that innocent little girl with heart gold could use a gun and not only that but with perfect aim. Seeing her in the "battle field" was so nerve wracking and I don't exactly know why.

I didn't wanted her to get hurt and was extremely worried throughout. On the other hand i did realized that, that girl can be a  firecracker when she wants too. She was keeping up with my mens that were trained for years flawlessly. I could see she was exhausted as we were even though it's our job but she didn't give up or back out and that's one more of the things i admire about this little girl.
