Saved

Chapter 19

Alex POV

I put my phone down and hang my head. 'How did this happen? They're supposed to be watching her, making sure she's okay!'

I look at the time and see it's time to head down. I grab my keycard and walk to the elevator. There, I see Taylor and Kelsey messing around.

"Hi Alex! Whoa. What's wrong?"

"Huh?"

"You're crying." She points at my face.

"What? Oh my god. Ugh." "It's cool, just what's wrong? Is Sawyer okay, did something happen? I'll kill whoever did anything to her."

I slap her shoulder and sigh, "You won't kill anyone, I don't need anyone in jail." I sigh.

"But, she got jumped at school. It looks pretty bad by the FaceTime I just got from Serv. Her eye is really bruised and swollen shut."

"WHAT!" They both say as we ride the elevator down.

"How did that even happen! She's supposed to be safe there!"

I smile at Taylor, "I don't know exactly, I'll get the scoop later. She also took the bus to our house. Which I don't know how. She can't read and I have a passcode to download apps on her phone plus she doesn't have Google maps. I didn't think she needed it."

"She took the bus?! She's just a kid. She can't be taking the bus! Wait she took it even when injured! What the hell!" She says exasperated.

"I know Taylor, I'm upset too. I'm upset at the whole situation. I'm going to call after the meeting. Serv has to wake her up around then, concussion protocol you know."

"SHE HAS A CONCUSSION?"

I sigh, "Yeah. You can come with me to call her, then I'm gonna have her FaceTime Bree."

We get out of the elevator and head to the conference room. "Momma!"
I see Charlie running towards me with Kate. "Can we call Sawyer later?" I wince and Kate looks at me questioningly. I signal later to her and look back at Charlie.

"I think so baby. Sawyer has a boo boo and I think she'd like to hear from you."

"Sawyer okay?" "Yeah Baby she is. You go play with Kate, I'll be back."

We go through the plan for the rest of today, with a light practice later, then the schedule for tomorrow.

An hour later, we head out of the conference room and I head to my room with Taylor.

Once we make it upstairs, I get my iPad and call Serv.

"I said I don't want to talk about it!" I hear Sawyer yell.

"Whoa, what did I just call in to?" I ask.

"Alex?" Serv turns the phone so I can see her.

"Hi baby. What's going on?"

"Nothing, I just want to go back to bed."

"Well, it doesn't seem like that's an option right now."

"I'm not talking about it. I'm fine." She says.

I look at her like she's insane, "Fine? Are you kidding me, Sawyer! You have a black eye, bruised ribs, and a mild concussion. Does that scream fine to you?" I see her wince and hang her head. She then shakes it.

I take a deep breath, "Who jumped
you and I want the truth."

"Uh. Um." "The truth, Sawyer."

She sighs, "It was these kids Ben and Sasha." "Ben? As in Emily's boyfriend, Ben?" She nods.
