The Eighty Nine's leader. My Lover.

Chapter 28.

I brushed my stomach again, inhaling and exhaling as slowly as I could, it hurts. Lizzy brushed her face and sat down, she stood up again. She hates waiting, we all do. Jace took my hand, squeezing it forcing a slight smiled on my face, my eyes on his. My shoulders hurt, my feet are swollen and killing me, I'm thirsty, it's hot and I am tired.

"Go home, rest, I'll call someone to take you home".

"No, I wanna stay".I said holding back the pain.

A male nurse walked up to us, Khaya stood up a bit firmer crossing his arms over his chest, eyebrow raised, giving him that look. He frowned but still walked up to us, they can be intimidating, even the youngest one of them.

"Ma'am, here are some clothes you can change with, is there anything you need?".I just shook my head, the last thing I need is to be admitted."If you need anything let us know, all this might affect you badly".

"That's nice of you, thank you but she said she's fine".Khaya said with a straight face.

Jace stretched out his hand showing the veins and the tattoos and the nurse swallowed hard and gave him the clothes. I stood up and took them, holding my stomach, she really hates being here, the hospital smell is not great. I walked to the toilets trying not to fall on my knees and scream my lungs out and I just stood there looking at myself in the mirror, my face all bloody, I opened the tap, rinsing my hands then moved my hands up to my face.

Then my hands started trembling, my face got hot and tears just ran down my cheeks, Muzi took a bullet for me. They were trying to kill me and Muzi took a bullet for me and now he's gonna die and all because of me. Lizzy will hate me for the rest of her life and I just stood there holding the sink sobbing.

I looked up at the mirror again, the blood still on my face. I washed it, scrubbing my face with my hands, I don't want blood on my face, I don't want blood on my hands, I don't want this! I need to stop crying and help out. I got in the toilet and changed my clothes, putting on an oversized hospital tshirt and baggy pants, they probably got me the biggest clothes they could find. I can't even stand on my own.

Jace watched me walking back to them, barefooted, he slightly smiled, I sat down putting the folded, bloody clothes on the chair besides us, Jace taking my hand, I looked up at everyone even Lizzy now seated, no one talking. I should say something.

"Muzi took that bullet for me".

They all looked up at me."What?".

I looked up at them, sitting so I could face the four of them, still holding my stomach."The car had passed us when they pulled the gun and took that shot, Muzi jumped infront of me and as soon as I hit the ground, they drove away".

"Shit like this happens all the time, way before you came, there's nothing special about you".Lizzy said eyes closed, her head on the chair tilted back.

"What she means is, it's not you they wanted, it's us, it's always us".Alec said shaking his head in disapproval of how Lizzy said that.

They don't get it. Of course they don't. Lizzy stood up taking off her jacket, her tattoos showing and a gun on her waist showing too, making me feel more intimidated and uncomfortable. I just watched her my eyes fixed on the gun, she pulled it out and handed it over to me.

She's crazy. There's no way in hell I'm touching that, I hate guns. She rolled her eyes to the back of her head and walked up to me and walked around the bench and pulled my tshirt up, pushing the gun in my pants. I felt the cold gun on my back and she sat down and closed her eyes again. She is scary.

"Is Muzi's family here?".

We all got up, Lizzy moving forward, the doctor looked up at us and frowned, he's intimidated by them too. I'm pregnant, of course I don't intimidate him unless I had that gun in my hand. He looked up at Lizzy and sighed, he knows her. She stood up firmer, ready for it.
