Chasing Fintry

chapter 34- Ray of hope

I woke up to faint voices outside. "She needs me, I'm going in. I won't wake her up. Just let me look at her and I'm gone." I heard one of them say, I couldn't tell who it was. Austin wasn't in bed so he might be one of the voices. I heard a sigh before I heard someone mumble something like fine. I heard the door creak open, I turned my head towards the door. I was breathless. "Elliot." I breathed in a faint, low voice. He rushed over to my side of the bed. "Fintry." He mumbled rubbing my hair. I gently reached up and put my hand on his cheek. I looked him in the eyes and saw they were misty. I rubbed my thumb across the bottom of his eye. I felt so many emotions running through me in that one moment. "I'm going to kill him." He said blankly staring behind me. He leaned up and kissed me, nothing crazy, just short and simple. "I love you so much" He mumbled so quietly I almost missed. "You both better have clothes on and not be in a four foot radius of each other." Sam said as he came in. I felt a grin tug at my lips. Elliot took a few steps back and Sam came to my bed. "Hey sis, how are you doing?" He said sitting on the edge. I shrugged. "I feel sore and violated." I said numbly. I felt Sam closing his fist over the sheet.

I suddenly remembered Elliot's uncle. "Elliot, call your uncle." I said and I saw it click in Elliot's mind. He nodded and pulled his phone out of his shorts. I listened as he spoke to his uncle. After a few minutes they hung up. "He wants us to go to the hospital and get you checked and if they can prove anything he'll be down here soon." I nodded and stared at the ceiling.

"So your the punk that hurt my sister, huh?" Sam said standing up and trying to look all big and bad.

"N-no, W-we just to-o-ok a tiny b-break." Elliot stuttered.

"I'm gonna be nice this time, but next time I won't mind going back to jail." Sam said cracking his knuckles.

"Yes'sir." Elliot said with a slight nod.

"Come on baby, lets get you up and dressed." Elliot said coming over and gently sitting me up. I sighed. "Come on if you really want to get him charged for something we have to go to the hospital." Elliot whispered. He turned on his heel and walked out of the room. After a few minutes he came back and picked me up bridal style. He carried me to the bathroom and sat me down on the edge of the tub.

"Get in the tub." He said turning around. I took off my clothes and sat my self in the tub. The bubbles he had put in there covered me. I winced slightly as I leaned on my back. "OK." I said and watched Elliot turn around. He grabbed a solo cup from the counter and poured water in before pouring it on my head. I closed my eyes and hugged my knees. I felt Elliot gently rubbing my back and arms with body wash before rinsing me off. I felt him start rubbing my head and felt the suds running down my face. He grabbed the cup and started rinsing out the shampoo.I heard the sound of the water running down the drain as Elliot put a towel on me. I wrapped it around my self. "Can you hand me another?" I asked Elliot. Once he handed me the towel I wrapped it around my head. Elliot helped me stand up and took me back to my room.

I grabbed a bra, pair of panties, a T-shirt and a pair of shorts. Elliot sat on my bed facing away from me as I got dressed. After I was dressed I went and sat beside him. I felt him grab my hand. I looked over at him and saw him staring at the ground. I saw a tear fall down his cheek.

"It's all my fault." He whispered, meeting my eyes.

"No it's not, I was being stupid I shouldn't have gone in there alone." I said shaking my head gently back and forth.

"If I would have listened to you and not pushed you away you wouldn't have come back here and this wouldn't have happened." He said standing up and pushing his hair back.

"Elliot it would have happened sometime, let's just go to where ever we need to." I said before going to the bathroom and drying my hair. I threw it into a simple ponytail. I came back out and went down stairs. Austin saw me and pulled me into a hug before kissing my forehead. I gave him a tiny smile. I turned around and saw Elliot glaring at him. I went down the line hugging all the boys.
