The Mission (Jenna Ortega)

chapter 8

Jennas POV-
I had been in the hospital for at least 3 days now. I'm finally allowed to go home. I'm not sure how to feel, although i've been in the business for awhile I never have gotten shot, stabbed yes but that's all.
I really thought I was going to die.

"Jenna you ready? I just have to pick you up and put you in the wheelchair and then give the doctors these papers to sign so we can release you." the nurse said.

"Yup more ready than ever." I say smiling

She picks me up and puts me in the chair.
We make our way down the hall and I see tate talking with the doctor and they turn around once they notice i'm there.

"hey jen I was just talking to the doctor ab how to take care of you correctly and stuff. You ready?" Tate says.

"Yeah im ready but tate I can take care of myself i'll be okay." I say smiling.

"We will talk about this in the car then." She says.

The doctor then hands me papers and says that we're all good to go.

——- In the car

"Can you take me to my parents?" I say.

"Yeah of course just put their address into my phone." she says handing me her phone.

"Tate I know you're done with your family business but I need you to know i'm not done with mine." I say quietly looking at her.

She clenches her jaw and just nods her head without looking at me.

The rest of the ride was silent. There was music playing on the radio but it was low.

We arrived at my parents house after what felt like forever.

She opened the door for me and picked me up bride style and put me in my wheel chair and then knocked on my parents door for me.

"Jenna you're home!" my mom says.

"yeah they let me out not too long ago. I thought i'd stay here for a couple days at least until i'm healed enough to be on my own." I say

"You're our daughter you're always welcome to stay here whenever you want." My dad says coming to the door.

"Dad you're back!" I say excited.

He comes up to me and kisses me on my head.

"And who is this with you?" He says eying Tate.

She put her hand out.

"Um hi nice to meet you, My name is Tate, Tate Parker." she says with a smile.

My dad raises an eyebrow at her.

"Parker.. Parker.. where do I know that name? Wait Parker as in Mark Parker?" He says.

She nods her head yes.

My dad smiles at her and then looks at me and gives me a wink.

Literally what?

"Well lets get you inside." He says.

Tate Rolls me inside and we all talk for a bit and then my sister gets home.

"Mom do you have $20?" she says.

Tates POV-

"Mom do you have $20?" A girl says.

The girl walked in and she kinda looked like jenna but younger.

She walked into the living room and saw us all there.

"Jenna what the fuck dude you're here finally. Mom wouldn't let me come see you because she didn't want me to see you in a hospital bed." She says going up to Jenna.

"Hey aliyah." she says smiling.

"Hey so I think i'm gonna head home. Jenna call me if you need anything. It was nice meeting you sir and you as well aliyah." I say.

I kiss jenna on her head and walk out.

I know it wasn't the best thing to do but I couldn't sit there and watch them be a big family.
As selfish as that sounds I just couldn't.

I made my way into my car and drove away. As I got home I stayed in my car and started crying.
I miss my mom and the family I used to have. I'm not sure why i'm even crying because I never do but I guess it just came out.

After I was done crying I went in my house and went to bed.
Jenna called me and texted but I just wanted to be alone.
