I've just gotten off the phone with Quinn, she didn't sound right at all. I grab my keys off the side and jump straight into my car. I was going to go to the bar with the guys but this is more important. she's half an hour away.
I'm driving as fast as i can trying not to get a ticket. She said she's feeling light headed, that's what made me worried, i don't want her driving like that. I can't stop myself from worrying that she's fainted or something bad has happened to her. She's never called me before so when she did it was a shock, I just want her to be okay. Maybe after this I can try and get that date out of her.
As I'm pulling into a driveway, I can see her small body sitting on the steps leading up to the front door, the closer I get the more I can see. Blood dripping down her face.Worry mixed with rage is all I'm feeling right now. I slam the brakes on and jump out the car, Quinn goes to stand up but wobbles, I'm close enough that I grab her arms with my own.
"what the fuck happened?why didn't you say you were bleeding" i'm trying to stay calm, trying not to scare her.
"What? I'm bleeding?" Her hand goes to touch her head, her hand comes back covered with blood, she looks at it confused.
"You can't feel that?" i ask her, i'm trying to not show how i feel which is worried
"no , i just feel lightheaded and weak, i'm tired and i want to go to sleep" she doesn't need to act strong with me, she can be as weak as she wants to, i wont judge her. I'll take her as she is, she doesn't need to act strong with me, I'll be strong enough for both of us.
"Your not going to sleep with that gash on your head" i snap as she sways on her feet
I pick her up by the waist, wrapping my arms around her ass,"Right let's get you to the car"
"I can walk, you don't need to carry me" she tries to argue with me, it wont work, im not letting her get her way with this.
"You cant even stand straight, so i'm carrying you end off" i demand giving her a small slap on her ass, i couldn't help myself it's right there.
"Your heads still bleeding, were going to the hospital, you need stitches"
Her face wills with worry, her eyes are glossed over, she's breathing faster "No,no hospital, please" she begs, as much as i would like to hear her beg, she's upset about going there, somethings wrong, i don't want to pry but she's hurt so i need to know how this happened, or who did it.
"Quinn, I'm not having you bleed out right in front of me, I would actually like to go on a date with you but I can't do that if you're dead can i?" I say to try to get her out of her panicked state.
"No, i can't go there, it will be fine, it will stop bleeding. Please don't make me go there, please Theo, i'll give you that date, just please don't take me to the hospital, i can't go there again" she's crying, im trying to understand what shes saying, im understand bits and pieces but what catches my attention is 'i can't go there again', is someone hurting her ? what is going on, before i can reason with myself to not ask her, my rage takes over
"What happened in that house Quinn? Who hurt you? Is somebody hurting you baby?"
"Nothing happened, I tripped while I was cleaning up the house for my father"
"You know you can tell me, i won't judge you, there's nothing to be ashamed of if someone is" silence is what i'm given, it doesn't make me feel any better, no answers have been answered.
Once we arrived back at the house and after Jesse had accused me of doing that to her, I cleaned her up. She's in shock, that's the only thing that is clear at the moment. I walk back into my room grabbing a t-shirt that she can wear to bed, i walk back over to the bathroom to hand it to her "quinn, you can wear this to sleep in, is this okay"
"Yeah thanks"
I walk out and sit on the end of my bed to give her some privacy. A couple minutes passes, she walks out of the door, the t-shirt is massive on her, it's more like a dress.
"Come here Quinn" i hold my hand out for her
She walks over. I hold onto her waist and pull her closer to me, making her sit down on my lap. I put my arms around her, nose in her hair smelling her delicious scent,she always smells so good.
"How did this happen baby?" i murmur while my thumb strokes the side of her face
She closes her eyes "i just want to go to sleep, i'm tired, please just drop it" she sounds defeated
"You can't sleep for long, you're probably concussed, why didn't Cooper answer your calls?" i change the subject
"I don't know, probably because he's with stacey, she doesn't like that i'm friends with him or you" she says the last bit quietly
"What do you mean that she doesn't like that your friends with me and Cooper?" i ask
"She doesn't want me to destroy both of your lifes since i have a tendency to do that, i'm tired"
"Come on let's get you into bed, i'll go grab you a drink, if you fall asleep i'll wake you up when i get back just incase it is a concussion"
She gets off me and starts walking to the side of the bed and slipping in, she looks so good in my bed. I know now is not the time to be having thoughts like that but I can't help it.
"I'll be back in a minute, i'm going to grab you a drink" i say as i walk out of the room
I hope Stacey and Cooper are still downstairs because I want answers and i want them now, i make my way to the kitchen and they are still down here, im pissed off, at both of them, mostly her.
"Why didn't you answer her calls Cooper?" i ask
"I didn't get any calls otherwise i would have answered" he looks genuine as he answers my question
"She called you Jesse" i say again
"i'll check my phone now" he says while Stacey is on her phone looking unbothered
"Did you see that she was calling me" at first i thought he was talking to me but he's looking at stacey, who looks shocked
"Yeah i did see, i declined the calls" stacey replies while still scrolling on her phone, i'm not even shocked that she did that, it's the type of girl she is but before i can say anything Jesse does
"Why the fuck would you do that? Why not just pass the phone to me "Jesse shouts in her face while pushing her phone out of her hands.
" because i did, its her fault, all of it"
"What's her fault ?" i ask both of them curiously
"Nothing Ellison" he shuts down my question but by the looks of stacey's grin on her face it looks like she's going to tell me
"Its her fault you can't go pro with hockey Jesse, this is a big deal, missing one phone call isn't going to be the end of the world, she deserved it for everything she's done to you, she's ruined your chance at a professional career now you'll just have to suffer with a normal job, remember jesse she's the reason you hurt your knee, be careful Theo, you'll be next" she grabs her phone and makes her way out of the house, i'm shocked by what's unravelled.
"We'll talk about this tomorrow, i'm going back up to my girl "
"She's not your girl Ellison, she never will be" she shouts back
Once i'm back in my room i realised i forgot to get the drink i went for, instead of going back down to grab it, i slid into bed next to her knowing ill have to wake her up soon, once im comfy laying next to her, se snuggles into my side, i wrap my arm around her to pull her closer "Quinn wake up, im back" i say softly as i stroke her back, she slowly wakes up
"Are you feeling any better, baby?" i ask
"Not really"
"Anything I can do to make it better?" i ask, she takes her time to think before taking me up on my offer
"Theo" she says shyly
"Yeah?"
"Make me forget tonight" she says as her lips touch mine.
