Julie sat as pain snaked in her chest. The sobs hurt so bad and seemed never ending. She should of ran and never looked back. Feeling sick she ran to the bathroom and threw up. Sitting on the floor she stopped crying and stood. Time to grow up and stop bawling.
She brushed her teeth and got in the shower. She had two years of nursing then she could run far away and never look back. Standing there pain snaked in she loved the three of them so damn much.
She hit the tile wall and sank to the tub floor. She loved them so much.
"kitten, Chad said standing at the bathroom doorway, can I talk to you?"
She stood and sucked it up.
"just give me twenty....then I'll be right out".
She stood as hot water ran down her body but not easing her muscle aches. She felt numb after awhile and dressed in sweats and a tank top.
She was drying her hair when she came out and saw a red faced Chad.
He had been crying and that hurt her.
"kitten...I....kitten..I love you and I am sorry you feel used that was never my intention. Your not a replacement to me. I really love you baby".
He reached for her but she backed away. She was hurt and had red finger prints bruises around her arm. Chad stood in alarm.
"who did that kitten?"
She nodded and waved him off.
"its nothing I'm fine Chad".
He looked at her sad face and stepped closer. He wiped a tear and pulled her into his chest. Sobs shook her small frame.
He kissed her head and hugged her tighter. He would find out who gripped her enough to leave marks.
His arms tightened as she cried. He hated her upset and crying.
Shane and Logan came in but Julie became withdrawn. She put on a fake smile and registered for all her classes and uniform. She postponed her classes till fall for now.
Shane sat on the bed with her but she wouldn't look up. He cupped her face and kissed her. She looked into his blue eyes and saw pain and regret.
She kissed him back and her chest had a painful pang shoot through.
"can I have you for tonight sweetness?"
She nodded and he kissed her softly.
Chad was on her other side rubbing her now bruised arm where Logan gripped and shook her.
Logan stood watching them and he felt like an ass. Hell he hurt her and treated her like shit. He wanted to talk to her but knew it was to soon.
She could barely look at him without fear showing in her eyes. Shane rubbed her back and stroked her hair.
She looked up at him but quickly looked away. He felt a deep pain for what he did and he wanted to hold her.
Julie couldn't look at him his eyes held to much misery. He never apologized for hurting her or calling her a little bitch.
"I'm gonna go get a drink guys be right back",Julie said softly.
She left her room and ran downstairs. Grabbing a glass she went to turn and a upset Logan stood there clenching and unclenching his fist.
Fear snaked in and she dropped the glass. She gasped and sank to her knees quickly trying to pick it up.
She was shaking and cut her hand.
"ouch...shit".
A strangled cry passed her lips and Logan picked her up and stepped over the glass. She was shaking and big tears ran down her face.
"kitten..you okay...let me check your hand".
She burst into tears and launched at him. He caught her and hugged her tight. She stuffed her face in his neck breathing him in. Her tears soaked his neck but she squeezed as tight as she could.
"baby please don't cry....please..I'm sorry I yelled and hurt you. Please baby just don't cry anymore. I love you alot kitten...please don't cry".
He kissed her head and smelled her.
Her hand began to burn and she pulled back looking at it. Her gasp alarmed him. Sticking out her small palm was a big piece of glass.
Blood ran in a steady stream down her hand and dropped to the floor.
Logan paled.
He screamed for Shane making Julie jump. Heavy steps came down the steps and were running for them.
Julie looked at Logan in alarm he looked like he was going to faint.
"its fine Logan just pull it out".
He shrank away and sat in a chair.
Shane took in Julie's injury and grabbed her. Chad looked at Logan and patted his back.
"what happened sweetness?"
She sighed and told him and looked at Logan. He was more pale and looked ready to faint.
"Shane pull it out...please".
He nodded and scooped her up.
"We going to the hospital we could damage your hand if we pull it out".
She nodded and hugged Shane.
He smiled at her and kissed her mouth.
"Shane", she said shyly.
"yeah baby?"
She blushed.
"I love you".
His sharp intake of air startled her.
"its okay if you don't love me back...I just wanted you to know".
She kissed him softly as he sat in the car holding her. Logan in the back looking pale and Chad driving and trying not to laugh.
These three guys stole her heart and she knew two loved her. Shane may take awhile but at least he knew.
She looked out the window as the hospital came into view and Shane carried her in. She was seen quick and the glass removed after xrays were done.
She was stitched up given pain pills and discharged. She was so sleepy from the pain pills she was out as soon as Shane sat her in the car.
He looked down at her curled up in his lap and knew he loved her deeply.
"guys she loves us. We need her to stay and never leave. I love her so damn much".
Logan nodded and so did Chad.
"yeah we both love her too. When she wakes we all tell her we love her and then tell her everything".
All nodded and the ride home was silent well except Julie's soft snores.
They all chuckled.
