Saved by the Mafia Leaders!?!

Chapter 2

Dream (Mia's 3 years old living with a foster family)
Mia: give me my teddy back!
Girl: no it's mine now (holds it to her chest)
Mia: no it's not! Give it to me!!
Girl: no!
(Foster mom walks into the room)
Foster mom: what's going on here girls?
Girl: she says this teddy is hers but it's mine mommy!
Mia: no it's not! Mrs. Amy gave it to me it's mine! (Cries)
Foster mom: doesn't matter it's hers now
Mia: but
Foster mom: stop complaining or I'll get David to get the belt (threatens)
Mia: it's my teddy, I want it back!!
Foster mom: (rolls her eyes) that's it David!
David: yeah (walks into the room)
Foster mom: take care of the brat I am tired of hearing her scream (rolls her eyes and walks away)
David: come here brat (walks over to Mia and picks her up)
Mia: no no I am sorry she can have the teddy just don't hit me! (Cries)
David: shut up (opens the the door to her tiny room and throws her onto the floor and takes the belt off)
Mia: no please stop! (Starts crawling away but David hits her back which causes her to lay on the ground and David keeps hitting her)
End of dream
Mia's pov
I sat up on the bed feeling tears streaming down my face and looked around the pitch black room and moved my hands around to find a light switch and after a few seconds I found it and turned it on so the room was being lit by the lamp on the nightstand. Then I got out of the bed and walked into the bathroom and looked at my shaking reflection in the mirror and swollen face from crying, I turned the faucet off and rinsed my face and then walked back to the bed and after tossing and turning I realized I wasn't going to go back to sleep so I decided to go downstairs and maybe get a glass of milk to see if it would help my nerves. I walked downstairs towards the kitchen area and turned the light on and opened the cabinet and noticed the cups were on the third shelf which makes absolutely no sense considering ness is only a few inches taller then me so why keep the cups so high up? I pouted for a minute and decided the only solution I had was to climb the counter so that's what I did. I was up on the counter with the cup in my hand and as I was climbing down my hand slipped with the cup and I fell to the floor which resulted in the cup shattering when it hit the ground and cut my hand at the same time. Shit shit shit.
End of pov
Nessa: Jaden (shakes him)
Jaden: hmm what? (Opens his eyes)
Nessa: I heard a crash come from downstairs
Jaden: I'll go check it out you stay here, if I am not back in five minutes call cooper and josh
Nessa: be careful
Jaden's pov
I grabbed my gun that I kept in the drawer of the nightstand and held it in front of me as I walked downstairs, the living room was clear but I saw the kitchen light was on so I quietly stood behind the wall to hear anything that might be suspicious but the only that could be heard was the sound of someone crying so I put the gun in my back pocket and walked into the kitchen to see Mia crawling on the floor trying to pick up glass off the floor with tears streaming down her face.
End of pov
Jaden: what happened? (Walks over to her and moves her away from the glass but notices her hands were bleeding) did you cut yourself?
(Mia nods her head)
Jaden: (sighs) come here (brings her to the sink and turns on the faucet and places her hands under)
Mia: it hurts (whines)
Jaden: yeah well you picked up broken glass with your bare hands, what were you doing anyway?
Mia: I I had a b bad dream and then wanted to get something to d drink b but t the c cups w were h high s s so I c climbed the c counter and the f f fell.. are you Mad (looks down)
Jaden: why would I be mad?
Mia: I broke your cup? (Looks at him confused)
Jaden: I don't care about the damn cup, I care more about the fact that you thought it would be a good idea to climb the counter and hurt yourself instead of ask for help
Mia: I I didn't w want to get in trouble...
Jaden: who said you would get in trouble?
Mia: f f for w waking you up and asking for help... I always got in trouble at my foster home for asking for help (looks back down)
Jaden: (finishes cleaning her hand and the bleeding stopped) well the cuts aren't deep nothing a bandaid won't fix, and for the record Mia you aren't in a foster home anymore and you aren't going back there so you can ask for help if you need it okay?
(Mia nods her head)
Jaden: words Mia
Mia: o okay
Jaden: good now I'll be right back with the bandaids (walks upstairs to his room and walks into the bathroom)
Nessa: everything okay?
Jaden: yeah just Mia fell off the counter trying to get a cup and cut her hand a little
Nessa: should we get griffin?
Jaden: nah it wasn't that deep and she stopped bleeding, I'll be right back let me get her situated
Nessa: okay
(Jaden grabs the bandaids and then pecks ness on the lips before going back downstairs and puts the bandaids on Mia)
Jaden: what was it you wanted to drink?
Mia: uh warm milk (says shyly) I it h helps m me f f fall b back asleep
Jaden: do you want regular milk or chocolate?
Mia: chocolate?
Jaden: yeah you know chocolate milk
(Mia shrugs her shoulders)
Jaden: did they not have chocolate milk at your old foster home?
Mia: (shrugs her shoulders) the only reason I got milk in the first place was because it was the only thing that would calm me down from my nightmares and my foster parents wanted to shut me up
Jaden: well your trying it and if you don't like it I'll give you regular but I have a feeling your going to like it, especially if it's warmed up
Mia: okay
Jaden's pov
I had several emotions running through my body right now the first is confusion because how is it possible that she's never had anything as simple as chocolate milk, second was empathy i mean I didn't grow up having the best life either if I did I probably wouldn't be in a gang right now but at least I had parents who cared about me, they were born into the gang life like I was so this is just how I grew up. And the last emotion I was feeling was anger because I don't understand how two grown adults could hurt a child, now I'll admit I have done a lot of fucked up things and have accidentally killed a few kids but that technically wasn't my fault, the stupid parents put their kids in harms way and by that point it was to late. The beep of the microwave brought me out of my thoughts as I passed her the milk.
End of pov
Mia's pov
I took a sip of it and he was right I did like it, it was very sweet but it was also hot so I took my time drinking it while Jaden just sat with me until I finished and after he took the cup, rinsed it and put in the dishwasher and looked at the time to see it was now almost seven in the morning.
End of pov
Jaden: let's go back to bed little one we had a long night and could use the sleep
Mia: I don't think I am going back to sleep
Jaden: you barely got three hours of sleep if that you should try and sleep some more
Mia: I d don't w want too
Jaden's pov
Her mouth said one thing but the bags under her eyes said another so I walked over to her and picked her up and carried her upstairs to my room and saw ness was awake scrolling through her phone but looked up when she saw Mia.
End of pov
Jaden: I brought a cuddle buddy
Nessa: (smiles) okay put her in the middle
Mia: Jaden I told you I am not going back to sleep
Jaden: shh (lays her in the middle)
Mia: I don't want to fall back asleep
Nessa: why not? Your probably exhausted
Mia: because I don't want to have another nightmare...
Nessa: we'll keep you safe we promise
Mia's pov
Promises meant nothing to me because guess what people break them, my social worker "promised" she would find me a good home, my first foster mom "promised" to stand by me until she met her stupid boyfriend who got her addicted to drugs, my second foster home the dad "promised" he wouldn't hurt me and he ended up hurting me the most so people who make promises can go to hell. I glared at ness for making a promise and then looked down at the covers feeling bad because she hasn't exactly been mean to me... so I looked back up her.
End of pov
Mia: I am sorry (whispers)
Nessa: for what honey?
Mia: glaring at you
Nessa: (tries not to laugh) aww Mia come here you don't have to apologize for something like that (opens her arms)
Mia: but I disrespected you... you should hit me
Jaden: I wouldn't put glaring in the category of disrespect, now if you gave attitude or talked back then that's a different story and we wouldn't hit you.. at least not the way your foster parents did
(Ness slaps him on the shoulder)
Jaden: ow what
Nessa: you know what
Jaden: too soon?
Nessa: what do you think?
Mia: I don't get it
Nessa: don't worry about it love, just close your eyes and try to sleep (pulls Mia close to her)
Mia: but I
Nessa: close your eyes Mia
Mia's pov
Ness looked down at me with her emerald green eyes and I couldn't help but listen between her eyes and Jaden's crystal blue ones it's like I am put under a spell and can't help but listen so I lay my head on nessa's shoulder and closed my eyes.
End of pov
Ten minutes later
Jaden: I am going to go talk to Kio I'll be right back
Nessa: where are you going?
Jaden: I am going to ask him to track down those sons of bitches and kill them
Nessa: Jaden...
Jaden: what?
Nessa: look I am just as mad about what she's been through but it's not like you can track down every foster home she's been in and kill the parents
Jaden: not every one just the ones that hurt her the most
Nessa: (holds Jaden's hand) she's been with us for less then twenty four hours think rationally please
Jaden: I can't help it ness I want to get revenge for her
Nessa: I get it but you also don't want to scare her so just wait a little please?
Jaden: (sighs) fine
Nessa: thank you now come lay down (pecks him on the lips and then plays with his hair with her other hand)
Jaden: you keep me sane
Nessa: someone has too (smiles and keeps playing with his hair) go to sleep Chicky
Jaden: hmm (closes his eyes)
Nessa's pov
When I noticed both of them fell asleep I lay my head on the pillow instead of the head board and a few minutes my eyes were closing and I let sleep over.
End of pov
Five and a half hours later (11:30)
Knock knock knock
(Jaden groans but gets up from the bed and opens it)
Jaden: (yawns) what's up Rafy?
Rafy: breakfast is ready Mr.Hossler
Jaden: okay thank you for letting me know, let the others know and we'll be down in a few
Rafy: okay
(Jaden closes the door and walk over to the girls and pecks nessa on the lips)
Nessa: good morning (smiles)
Jaden: morning love, Rafy made breakfast
Nessa: okay sounds good (looks down at Mia and strokes her cheek)
Mia: hmm
Nessa: time to wake up honey, breakfast is ready
Mia: (mumbles) not hungry
Nessa: Mia you have to eat, you barely had dinner last night
Mia: hmm (shakes her head)
Jaden: I'll carry you downstairs
Mia: please don't, I don't want to eat (looks up at him)
Jaden's pov
I sighed knowing this wasn't going to be easy so I walked over to her, picked her up in my arms and walked downstairs with ness behind me. When we got to the dining room everyone was already there and Rafy was bringing out pancakes, waffles, eggs and bacon so I sat Mia in the chair beside me while ness sat on the opposite side of me and the rest were spread around the table. Mia didn't say anything she was just kind of looking at the ground playing with her fingers so I picked up a plate and put one pancake on the plate with two strips of bacon since I didn't want to overwhelm her with too much food and poured her a cup of orange juice.
End of pov
Mia's pov
Is he trying to trick me? Where's the bread and water, I am not aloud to eat this stuff it'll make me fat and I don't deserve this food, I know he gave me soup last night but what if that was part of his plan? Trick me into trusting him so that I would think it's okay but the second I pick up a piece of food he punishes me for it... wouldn't be the first time though. I picked up my fork and my hand started to shake from the nerves I was feeling but I didn't want to make it obvious since I could feel everyone's eyes on me as it is. I don't know how long I was playing with the fork in my hand but it must have been pretty long because the next thing I know Jaden grabbed the fork from my hand and cut a piece of the pancake and held it up to my lips but I just backed away from it as much as I could in a chair.
End of pov
Jaden: alright what's going on now?
Mia: I I c c can't e e eat t that
Nessa: why not?
Mia: I it will make me f f fat
Quinton: your kidding right? You are literally the size of a stick
Cynthia: Quinton! (Smacks him on the shoulder)
Quinton: what? It's true
Griffin: Mia you have to eat, your body needs it
Mia: s s so your saying if I eat t this pancake y you w won't punish me?
Nessa: no of course not why would you think that?
Mia: I w was only aloud to have b bread and w water if I ate anything else my f foster p p parents would h hit me
Jaden: (sighs) do you remember what I told you last night? (Looks at her)
(Mia nods her head)
Josh: words Mia
Mia: y y yes
Jaden: then you remember you aren't in a foster home anymore, we aren't going to hurt you like that okay? I know it might take a while for you to understand that but please try okay?
Mia: o okay
Jaden: now will you take a bite or do you want me to feed you?
Mia: c can y you do it my hand is still shaky
Jaden: okay, open (holds the fork to her lips)
Mia's pov
Jaden finished giving me the pancake and then managed to convince me to eat a strip of bacon and half of my orange juice. We ended up being the last at the table because everyone else left to go do something and I felt kind of bad but Jaden didn't seem annoyed and instead stayed patient with me.
End of pov
Jaden: okay now that your done eating we are going to go back to the medical room so griffin can look at you
Mia: he did that last night though...
Jaden: he looked at your arms and at your stomach but he needs to do a full examination and see what else is wrong
Mia: I I d d don't want to h he's g going to h hurt me
Jaden: did he hurt you last night?
Mia: no but
Jaden: then he's not going to hurt you now
Mia: how do I know this isn't part of your sick twisted game, earn my trust and then hurt me
Jaden's pov
I sighed in frustration, I knew that whatever she went through was clearly hell and it's going to take a while for her to trust me which means she's going to question me a lot and my intentions and if there's one thing I hate is being questioned. You don't question what I have to say you just listen, trust and obey it's that simple and she's making it very difficult and my patience is wearing thin, but I have to remember it's not her fault the only people she has ever encountered were out to hurt her. So I relaxed myself for a minute before looking into her scared brown eyes.
End of pov
Jaden: Mia you have to at least try and trust me and I know that's asking a lot because you haven't known me very long but actions speak loud and the only thing I have done since I found you was try to help, now either you try and accept it and trust me or things are going to be very difficult for you okay?
Mia: okay (whispers)
Jaden: louder
Mia: o okay
Jaden: good now let's go
Mia's pov
We walked back into the medical room and I saw ness was there talking to griffin while griffin was getting out some stuff from the cabinet. I sat down on the bed not wanting to put up a fight and then get strapped down, the first half of the exam was him looking in my throat, eyes, ears and listening to my heartbeat.
End of pov
Griffin: Mia your heart is beating pretty fast, can you take a few deep breaths and calm down for me
Mia: I'll try
Griffin: good close your eyes and breathe deep for five seconds I'll count
Nessa's pov
I could see the worried look on Mia's even with her eyes closed it was obvious she wasn't anymore calm then she was a minute ago so I walked over to her and held her hand at first she flinched but when she realized I wasn't hurting her I felt her relax a little. I rubbed my thumbs over her knuckles like Jaden does with me when I am nervous and after a second or two I noticed her body wasn't as tense and griffin was able to get an accurate reading of her heart rate. Then he checked her blood pressure which was also a little high and then he asked her to turn around.
End of pov
Mia: w w why?
Griffin: so I can look at your back
Mia: t that's not.. you don't.. no worries I am fine there
Griffin: it's called a full body exam for a reason honey, just let me look at it for two minutes okay?
Mia: p p please d don't, I d don't w want to have to e explain t t the marks, I get f flashbacks I if I I I ( her breathing increases)
Nessa: relax (rubs her knuckles) your okay, your safe and you don't have to tell us until your ready
Mia: p promise?
Nessa: yes
Mia: o okay (turns around)
Nessa's pov
Griffin lifted up Mia's shirt and I thought I was going to be sick her whole back was pretty much black and blue with old and new scars, she has cuts that looked likely were still healing. I looked over at Jaden who was clenching his fists trying not to lose his temper and scaring her but I knew he probably would anyway so I walked over to him and wrapped my arms around his waist while he hugged me back in a protective grip. And I know we just met this girl but there's something in us that wants to protect her and make sure she never gets hurt again and also get revenge on the awful people that touched our girl.
End of pov
Nessa: hey babe (whispers)
Jaden: yeah (looks at her)
Nessa: you know how I said that we weren't going to go after her foster parents just yet?
Jaden: yeah
Nessa: I take back what I said, have Kio find out everything about them and I want them in the basement by today
Jaden: done I'll call him right now (steps away from nessa and walks out of the room)
Griffin: okay Mia I know you might seem a little uncomfortable about this part but I need to look at your legs too so can you pull your pants down
Mia's pov
I froze when he said that and immediately started shaking, I didn't want him to touch me like the other doctors did and my fight or flight instincts kicked in and I immediately got off the little bed and tried to make a run for it but ness wrapped her arms around my waist.
End of pov
Mia: let me go! Please let me go don't touch me!! (Fights in Nessa's grip)
Nessa: Mia, Mia calm down, I need you to calm down okay
Mia: no no no!! Please just let me go, he's going to hurt me and your going to let him!!
Griffin: (walks over to her and lifts her chin up so she's looking him in the eyes) I promise I won't hurt you and I need you calm down or I am going to have to sedate you and I don't want to do that and I doubt you want that so please listen and lay back down
Mia's pov
I really didn't want to listen to him but I also was terrified of being sedated so I stopped fighting Nessa and walked back to the bed and laid down just as the door opened and Jaden walked in... great. Should I tell him to leave or do I want him to stay? Would he even care if I wanted to leave and stay anyway? My mind was racing and I think ness could tell because she grabbed my hand and started rubbing my knuckles again.
End of pov
Nessa: babe griff was about to take her pants off and she's already feeling uncomfortable do you mind stepping outside
Jaden: yeah I'll be out In the hall if you need me (starts to step out)
Mia: wait
Jaden: yeah (looks at her)
Mia: y y you can s stay
Jaden: are you sure you want me too?
Mia: y yeah
Jaden: okay
Griffin: alright I am going to take them off now okay?
Mia's pov
I just nodded my head and closed my eyes I tried to limit my shaking to a minimum and soon I felt the cold air hit my legs and the gasps didn't go unnoticed, I felt griffin running his hands over my legs to see if maybe I had fractured anything and it's a miracle I hadn't, then I felt him go near my thighs and immediately tensed up and felt the tears stream down my cheeks.
End of pov
Jaden: shh shh your okay I promise (wipes her tears)
A few minutes later
Griffin: okay Mia we are done for today you can open your eyes
(Mia opens them)
Mia: a am I going to b be okay?
Griffin: yeah it's going to take some time your legs have a lot of bruises which you already know and I am going to give Jaden some cream he's going to use to help your cuts and scratches heal quicker him or ness will do it once in the morning and before you go to sleep, you need to make sure your eating three meals a day and if not the least two but your body needs food, you are severely underweight and I want you to limit the activities you do, I just want you to focus on resting okay?
Mia: o okay
Jaden: thanks griff
Griffin: no problem, I am going to go see Kio
Jaden: I'll go with you I want to see if there's any progress being made yet
Nessa: so then I guess it's just us two (looks at Mia) what do you want to do?
(Mia shrugs her shoulders)
Nessa: we can cuddle and watch movies?
Mia: o okay
Jaden: I'll meet you girls when I am done
Nessa: okay (pecks him on the lips)
Mia's pov
I followed ness out of the medical room and we went upstairs to their room and she turned the tv on while I got on the bed and under the covers, she grabbed the tv remote and started scrolling.
End of pov
Nessa: what do you want to watch?
Mia: I don't know you pick
Nessa: have you seen the nightmare before Christmas?
Mia: nope
Nessa: okay I'll put it on and if you don't like it tell me
Mia: okay
Scene change downstairs
Jaden: what did you find out Kio?
Kio: well considering you called me onlt thirty minutes ago I have found out that she's been in like ten foster homes in the last six years
Jaden: ten??
Kio: yeah they were all either unfit to continue fostering her for getting caught with child abuse or simply just didn't want her
Griffin: what so she was just returned to an orphanage like a toy?
Kio: yeah pretty much that's how children are treated in the fucked up system, she's had three different social workers as well and the most recent one is the one who placed her in her most recent foster home which turns out to be one of Hudson's clients James and Susan they live about an hour away
Jaden: thanks Kio, (pulls out his phone and calls josh)
Phone convo
Josh: what's up bro?
Jaden: hey we recently located Mia's old foster parents so I need you to get Bryce, Cooper, and Quinton to kidnap those bastard and put them in the basement by tonight can you do that?
Josh: yeah consider it done
Jaden: also they are Hudson's clients so be prepared for anything, bring backup if you need it
Josh: okay I'll call you when we have them
Jaden: thanks
End of convo
Jaden: thanks Kio I'll call you if I need anymore info
Kio: no problem
(Jaden is about to leave the room when griffin stops him)
Griffin: here I almost forgot to give you, this is the cream you need to put on her arms, legs, and back it'll help heal the scars and take away the irrigation
Jaden: thanks (griff takes the cream and walks upstairs)
Mia's pov
I was cuddling with ness watching Jack the skeleton sing this is Halloween when the door opened and Jaden came into the room he took off the shirt he was wearing leaving him only in a pair of sweats and I found myself staring at his tattoos. He had bat wings on his upper chest with a five in the middle, then above that he had a crown, a quote right above that I couldn't really read because it was in a small font, then he had an actual spider web with a spider crawling down then butterflies along his left arm and a few other random ones on his right which made his biceps look even more defined if that made sense  and his light blonde hair was perfect with his crystal blue eye. Then there was ness she was beautiful her long black hair that went down past her breasts in waves, she also had a few tattoos and some matching with Jaden's which were the butterflies, they both had the number three on them and they both had angel tattoos. At this time I had stopped paying attention and was just admiring them, they complimented each other perfectly and it was obvious. Then I thought about how they both treated me since I met them yesterday and I'll admit even though ness scared me with her yelling she hasn't raised her voice since, and Jaden was intimidating and can still be but around ness he's soft and around me he's even softer... I decided to stop looking at them before they caught me and turned my attention to the tv screen, but five minutes later exhaustion from lack of sleep and the amount of anxiety I had earlier finally took over and I closed my eyes and allowed myself to relax into a deep sleep.
