Another Perspective

CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR

Holly's POV

We've been in the hospital room for a couple of hours now. It's day two without Willow, and Waylan is still not breathing on his own. He hasn't woken up too, they attempted to take the tube out but he started choking and they immediately had to put it back in. Today I'm with Diana, Harley and Lily. All I've done is stay silent but I need to say something.

"I'm sorry" The words escape my lips as if they've been held in for many years.

They all look at me, only the beeping of the machines being heard. Harley squints then gives a small smile, "You're not to blame for this."

"I should have known better than to trust Joe. I shouldn't have helped him or spoke to him. This wouldn't have happened if I didn't get involved."

Before she could say anything, there's a knock on the door then it reveals Sasha. She smiles lightly with a look in her eyes that doesn't sit well with me. "We got called early to a scene. An anonymous call, saying that there is something interesting in a house. Something that we'd like. When we got there, we saw Joe. On a chair and beaten so badly that you'd think he were dead. On him was pinned a note. By his feet were files and files. A lot of evidence for different crimes he is involved in that will get him arrested and in a cell for a very long time."

"Willow" I mumbled.

Sash nods, "I can definitely bet it was Willow. There was no sign of her when we got there. Joe was the only person there. He's in hospital right now, getting stitched up and woken up before we wake him up and interrogate him. I just wanted to let you guys know."

Harley stands up and starts to pace, "She's going to go after the Loan Shark and his group. She's going to try and find the person who did this to my son...we need to find her before it's too late!"

"Why do you need to find me?" We all looked and saw Willow walk into the room. She is dressed in an all black suit, her hair is rough yet fits her style nicely. I'm hesitant to approach and watch as she walks directly to Waylan. She places her hand on his cheek and his eyes flutter slowly with a groan. Now this seems like some weird magical shit?!

Diana shouts for the doctor and he rushes in with a nurse, he takes the tube out and helps Waylan with some water. Waylan hisses and moves his body ever so slightly. He looks around the room, his body frail and skin tone drained. His eyes seem too heavy as he looks. Diana and Harley look to be in tears, hugging him gently. Lily takes her chance to hug him once they move and he takes it softly. Willow watches the entire time.

"You look like shit" Waylan mumbles to her with a dry little voice.

Willow looks at him stern, "I could say the same about you."

"Who have you hurt now?" He says as he looks at her hands. I notice the bruising on her knuckles, fresh painful cuts.

She sighs, "Someone...are you okay?"

"A bit of a stupid question sis but I'm not dead so that should be good enough." He laughs but then winces again, "Am I meant to say see you later now?"

She nods and walks out the room in silence. What the fuck just happened?!

"What the fuck just happened?!" Sash echos my thoughts which nearly makes me laugh in surprise.

Di looks confused too, "One of you are going to have to follow her. She isn't finished" Waylan mumbles and then looks at me, "Don't blame yourself, none of us expected this. And I'm fine! See!" We laugh but deep down I know that this is hurting Willow. I've hurt Willow and she needs a life of peace from now on.

Willows POV

As soon as I got back in the car, my first destination is back to my apartment. As soon a I got there, I see my mum leaning against her car and staring at me. I got out and walked towards her with her glare increasing. "Whatever you've planned or is planning needs to stop! Do you understand? You can't do this alone Willow!"
