Saved by the Mafia Leaders!?!

Chapter 4

Mia's pov
The next morning I woke up with my head pounding, my throat hurting and my stomach killing me. Before I could think twice I felt the familiar burn traveling up my throat so I quickly got out of bed and ran to the bathroom and started throwing up last night's pasta. My body was shaking in the meantime and a few moments later I felt the familiar hand of someone rubbing my back and holding my hair, I turned around and saw that it was Nessa who had gotten up with me and comforted me till I was done.
End of pov
Nessa: are you okay now love?
Mia: I don't feel so good (says hoarsely)
Nessa's pov
I looked at Mia and the first thing I noticed was she looked paler than normal, her body was shaking but she has sweat coming down her skin so I put my hand up to forehead and sure enough she was burning up.
End of pov
Nessa: Jaden can you get me a thermometer from the medical room?!
Jaden: hmm what did you say? (Says half asleep)
Nessa: can you get me the thermometer I think Mia has a fever
Jaden's pov
The minute ness told me she thought Mia had a fever i got out of bed and walked downstairs to the medical room and looked for the thermometer which took a few minutes but when I found it I walked back upstairs to our room and joined Mia and Nessa in the bathroom.
End of pov
Jaden: put this under your tongue and wait for it to beep (hands her the thermometer)
Mia's pov
I kept it under my tongue for a minute before I heard it beep and when I took it out I saw I had a fever of 102.3 which was pretty high so ness went downstairs to get me some medicine and then came back with it along with a spoon. She put the sticky purple syrup consistency on the spoon and passed it to me.
End of pov
Mia: do I have to?
Jaden: yes
Mia: but it's grape flavored
Jaden: and?
Mia: it's gross
Nessa: you want to feel better don't you?
Mia: yeah but
Jaden: no buts drink the medicine (holds the spoon up to her lips)
Mia's pov
I glared at the spoon but eventually I opened my mouth and drank the medicine and wanted to spit out after two seconds but one look from Jaden and Nessa had me swallow it and burning my throat in the process.
End of pov
Mia: what time is it? (Her voice raspy)
Nessa: nine thirty but you don't have to worry about that because you are officially on bed rest today
Mia: fine (mumbles)
Jaden: I'll get griffin to come check on you and then I have business to take care of so I'll see guys later (gives ness a peck on the mouth and then gives Mia a kiss on the cheek) oh ness can you put the cream on her now and I'll do it later?
Nessa: yeah
Jaden: okay I'll see you girls in a bit (stands up and walks out of the room)
Mia's pov
Nessa led me back to the room and laid me on the bed but then told me to lay on my stomach because she wanted to put the cream on my legs and back first. I hesitated for a moment but took off my hoodie which left me only in a sports bra and underwear, I laid on my stomach and clutched the pillow trying to get my body to relax but also failing at it.
End of pov
Nessa: take a few deep breaths and just try to relax okay?
Mia: (takes a deep breath in and out) o o okay
Nessa's pov
I waited a few seconds to see her body relax a little more so there would be less tension but she still had a grip on the pillow she was holding and I didn't want to take it away if it was comforting her. I put the cream on my hands and I slowly started to massage her back and that's when I was able to really look at the scars on her back, some were old and healing others were really new and I wanted to be really careful not to hurt her with those, but she still winced every time and it hurt to hear, five minutes later I waited for the cream to dry before asking her to turn over so I could put them on her stomach, she hesitated for a moment but then she turned around and I could see how scared she was so I ran my fingers through her hair first.
End of pov
Nessa: I am not going to hurt you okay?
Mia: I it's n not t that... I t think I b b believe you now b b but
Nessa: but what?
Mia: it's different when you have to do my back.. I can't see your reaction to my scars but with me facing you I can see it and I am embarrassed (looks down)
Nessa: did I say or do anything to make you feel embarrassed?
Mia: no you can't help but be pretty.. But I am not...
Nessa: hey look at me (lifts up her chin) you are beautiful behind your scars
Mia: your just saying that
Nessa: no I am not you have beautiful light brown hair and pretty blue eyes and you know what the scars on your body means?
Mia: what?
Nessa: your a survivor, like me
Mia: you have scars?
Nessa: yeah on the center of my left wrist (lifts up her sleeve)
Mia: (looks at them) h h how d did it h happen? I if you d don't m mind m me asking
Nessa: I was in a dark place at the time and in a toxic relationship.. Jaden helped me out of it though, just like we are going to help you okay?
Mia: okay
Nessa: now let me do your stomach and your legs okay?
Mia: okay
Scene change
James: are you bastards going to let us go now? (Glares at Jaden)
Jaden: not just yet Hudson should be here to finish you off though but in the meantime I figured you could answer some more of my questions and if you don't.. we'll I might just have to cut you up a bit (takes out a knife)
Susan: what do you want to know?
Jaden: how old was she when she moved in with you?
Susan: twelve
Jaden: how did it feel hurting a helpless twelve year old?
James: her screams were music to my ears (smirks)
Jaden: you son of a bitch (punches him in the stomach)
Bryce: yo Hossler, Hudson's here
Jaden: bring him in
Bryce: okay
(Chase walks into the room and looks at his clients)
Chase: looks like you started the fun without me
Jaden: couldn't help myself he pissed me off
Chase: (looks at them) look who it is, thought you could hide from me for two months and I wouldn't be able to find you
Susan: c c chase w what a a are y you doing here?
Chase: oh you didn't know? Hossler and I go way back and it seems that not only did you manage to piss me off but you pissed off hossler as well, how did you manage that?
James: apparently he has a thing for our little slut
Jaden: what the fuck did you just call her?! Your going to regret that (grabs the knife and cuts his arm a little bit)
Chase: well that's a shame you know what else is a shame you two have two options one you give me the money you owe here and now and leave LA for good or we kill you, you pick
James: you want the money now!?
Chase: well I don't want it tomorrow
Susan: what if we give it to you by the end of the week we'll have it then
Jaden: not going to happen
Chase: fine then I guess you leave us no option (picks up a gun)
James: fine but just remember that if your planning to fuck the bitch, your wasting your time she's no good
Jaden: maybe you just didn't know how to pleasure her because you were to busy thinking of yourself, now I am done talking (picks up a gun) go to hell bastard (shoots)
Chase: and you can join him (shoots Susan)
Jaden: Bryce!
Bryce: yeah?
Jaden: get Taylor and get rid of the bodies, you know where
Bryce: on it boss
Chase: (looks at jaden) so looks like we are done here
Jaden: yup see you around Hudson and remember stay in your territory, I wouldn't want to have to kill any of your boys
Chase: same rules apply for you too
Jaden: hmm see yourself out, you know where the door is (leaves the basement)
Mia's pov
Nessa and I were in the room and she was braiding my hair so that she wouldn't have to hold it back every time I threw up which happened once after she was done giving me a massage. She was halfway done when the door to the bedroom opened and out of instinct I grabbed the sharpest thing I could find on the nightstand which was a pocket knife and clutched it in my hand to defend myself if I needed too, but then I saw the blond hair with the crystal blue eyes and intimidating tattoos walk into the room also known as Jaden and I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding.
End of pov
Jaden: relax it's just me, can I have the pocket knife? (Holds out his hand)
Mia: o o okay (hands it to him)
Jaden: thank you (looks at ness) why did you let her grab it in the first place you know the only ones who have access to the room are the guys and I
Nessa: exactly why I let her grab it, I knew it would be one of you guys but if grabbing the knife made her feel more secure I wasn't going to stop her
Jaden: point taken (looks at Mia) how are you feeling?
Mia: shitty (says with her voice hoarse)
Jaden: have you taken any more medicine?
Mia: not since you gave it to me this morning
Jaden: okay I'll get you something for your throat because my guess is it's hurting and that's why you don't want to talk
Mia: hmm (nods her head)
Jaden: I'll be right back (gets up and leaves the room)
Mia's pov
Three minutes later ness finished braiding my hair and Jaden came back with some bottle that had a sprayer as a cap. I had never seen any type of medicine that looked like that so I immediately thought this is how he's going to kill me. It's not medicine in that bottle, it's poison, I quickly grabbed the pocket knife again since he placed it on the nightstand and this time I got off the bed and backed away from him.
End of pov
Nessa: Mia what's wrong now?
Mia: don't act like you don't know
Nessa: what? (Looks confused)
Mia: he's trying to poison me! Don't come near me (points the knife at him)
Jaden: (laughs and face palms) where in the world did you even get that idea?
Mia: the spray bottle, it's not medicine, medicine doesn't look like that
Jaden: (sighs) this is a different kind of medicine Mia, I promise it's not poison it's just a spray that numbs your throat for an hour or two I promise
Mia: why should I believe you?
Nessa: we haven't hurt you yet, have we?
Mia's pov
Nessa has a point I have been with them for four days now and they haven't done anything but help me which I am not used to so I automatically feel the need to defend myself. I don't know how to trust people, but maybe I should give them the benefit of the doubt. I put the knife back down and then ness grabbed it and put it in her back pocket so I wouldn't grab it again.
End of pov
Mia: I I am s s sorry f f for n not b believing you
Jaden: (sighs) it's okay but we talked about that already, I know trust isn't an easy thing for you and we will help you learn how to but you have to meet us halfway okay?
Mia: okay
Jaden: good now come here so I can give you the medicine
Mia's pov
I walked over to Jaden and I let him spray the medicine in my mouth which tasted like cherry and then I laid back down on the bed with Jaden and ness on either side of me. Jaden grabbed the tv remote while I got under the cover and looked across the room and saw a gray and while Polk a dot stuffed puppy. I never had a stuffed animal before well I did it was a small bear that one of my social workers gave me for my sixth birthday but when I got to my first foster home their biological daughter stole it from me and her mom and dad just let her keep it, and I never had one since.
End of pov
Nessa: do you want it?
Mia: hmm what?
Nessa: the stuffed animal, you've been staring at if for five minutes
Mia: oh (blushes) I am sorry
Jaden: you need to stop saying sorry you haven't done anything
Mia: I z zoned out
Jaden: and?
Mia: every time I zoned out I got smacked in the face so they could have my attention again
Jaden's pov
Just when I thought I couldn't hate those bastards more it somehow manages to happen and part of me wishes I could bring them back to life just to kill them again, but instead I just wrapped my arms around Mia and brought her close to me and cuddled her.
End of pov
Mia: what are you doing? (Looks up at him)
Jaden: cuddling you now shh (gently pushes her head on his chest) babe can you grab the stuffed animal I think she wants it but to embarrassed to ask
Nessa: yeah of course (gets off the bed and walks across the room and gets the puppy and goes back to the bed and holds it out for Mia)
Mia's pov
I stared at it for a few seconds but then just reached out for it and the soft comforting material was in my hands. I couldn't help but bring it closer to me and then lay my head back on Jaden's chest and looked back at the tv to focus on whatever was on but my eyes felt heavy and I fell asleep.
End of pov
Nessa: poor thing she's so traumatized (plays with Mia's braid)
Jaden: I know but her pathetic foster parents are dead and that's all that matters
Nessa: are we going to tell her?
Jaden: maybe in the future but right now she doesn't need to know
Nessa: I agree (looks down at mia) she's so pretty even if she doesn't see it yet
Jaden: (looks at her) yeah she is and when she gets healthy her body is going to look fine as fuck
Nessa: do you think she would be open to being in a relationship with us (looks at Jaden)
Jaden: baby steps right now she just has to trust us
Nessa: okay (pecks his lips and gets on the other side of him)
One hour later
Knock knock knock
Mia: hmm (opens her eyes)
Jaden: shh go back to sleep (gets off the bed and opens the door) what's up josh?
Josh: just came by to let you know that Bryce and Taylor got rid of the bodies successfully
Jaden: good and Quinton and Noah?
Josh: took care of all the clients on the east side
Jaden: and Kio and Anthony?
Josh: inventory like always and everything is there
Jaden: great, what about the girls?
Josh: getting ready for the club as we speak
Jaden: perfect, thanks josh
Josh: no problem
(Rafy walks up to them)
Rafy: sir lunch is ready
Jaden: okay can you bring it up here please? Mia's still not feeling well
Rafy: yeah I'll be back in a few minutes
Jaden: thank you (looks at josh) anything else?
Josh: not that I can think of
Jaden: okay you and the boys can take the rest of the day off
Josh: okay I'll tell them (walks away)
Mia's pov
I woke to the feeling of someone lightly shaking my shoulder so I mumbled and turned away but that didn't work because the person still kept shaking me.
End of pov
Mia: what (whines)
Jaden: lunchtime come on
Mia: noo (whines)
Nessa: you need to at least try okay?
Mia: (glares and opens her eyes) fine
Jaden: I can help you if you want
Mia: no I want to try by myself first
Jaden: okay
Mia's pov
Rafy came with the food, Jaden and nessa got fettuccine Alfredo but since my stomach is acting up Rafy made me tomato soup which I have only had one time in an old foster home, but it was cold and this time it was warm. I picked up my spoon and placed it in the bowl and just looking at it made my stomach queasy. I didn't want to eat and throw up again because I hate throwing up, my body shakes, my throat burns more than it already and I start to cry and I have cried more then enough times with them.
End of pov
Jaden: alright come on just a few sips (picks up the spoon and places it to her lips)
Mia: what if I throw up again?
Jaden: drink it slowly and you'll be fine
Mia: fine (takes a sip from the spoon)
Jaden: good girl
Mia's pov
I think I managed seven spoonfuls before the familiar feeling of burning in my throat before getting off the bed and bolting to the bathroom before throwing up once again and then when I was done I brushed my teeth and walked back to the bed and Jaden wiped the left over tears from my eyes.
End of pov
Mia: are you mad?
Jaden: no at least you tried, but I want you to at least drink Gatorade it'll give you something just sip it slowly (hands her a strawberry watermelon Gatorade)
Mia's pov
I took a few sips of the Gatorade and then put it on the nightstand, grabbed the stuffed puppy and laid back down on Jaden's chest before falling asleep again.
End of pov
Nessa's pov
Jaden and I spent the rest of the evening and night watching tv and then ate dinner but didn't bother waking up Mia since she probably wouldn't be able to keep it down, and then Jaden and I fell asleep cuddled to our little princess.
End of pov
