swisher sweet

chapter four

I woke up on my back with a weight on my chest and stomach. I looked down to see Scott laying on his stomach across my stomach and chest his head laying on my stomach and his arms around me. I stretched, and he moved slightly. As I ran my fingers through his soft hair lightly scratching his head, watching as he fluttered his beautiful blue eyes open and looked up at me.

"Good morning." I smiled at him as I rubbed my hand down his bare back.

"Good morning. Sorry for falling asleep on you like this." He says, sitting up a slight blush on his face.

"Oh no, the problem doesn't bother me." I smiles watching scott get up out of bed. I stood with him walking to the bathroom to brush my hair and put on fresh sweats and a hoodie. I walked to the kitchen to see scott with two pills in his hand, putting them in his mouth and swallowing, I was shocked. I thought he had stopped taking pills. I thought he had stopped all of it.

"I thought you were done with drugs?" I said, walking in and sitting on the counter.

"I did. I have to take a bunch of other medications to help me through all these other shit like side effects and after stuff from getting clean to help with it. I feel as though I don't need it, but the rehab center and doctors say otherwise." He says, now leaning against the counter across from me.

I nod and hop off the counter. "Oh, okay..." I didn't really know how to respond to that so I just made some toast and went and sat on the couch while scott went back to his room and came out a few minutes later dressed in a hoodie black baggie pants and his airforces he always wore. He had on a backward hat and grabbed his keys off the counter. "Where you goin?".

"Meet someone I gotta talk to. I'll be back later, promise." Scott said, smiling before walking out the apartment door.

I shrugged. It probably wasn't a big deal. After eating my toast, I got up to clean up the apartment I hated when things got dirty it bothered me if anything was dirty, mostly cause of how the house I lived in as a child was. Doing laundry, cleaning up anything out of place, sweeping, mopping, and dishes cleaning the bathroom.

Everything was done when I finally took a break to sit on the couch and ended up falling asleep.

_______________________________________

I woke up to a sort of clicking sound at the door figuring it was scott. If I closed my eyes again, trying to drift back asleep. I glanced at the big window that overlooked the city and saw the sun going down. Man, scott was out for a while.

As I lay with my eyes closed, the door opened, then closed as I heard heavy boot steps into the living room. Scott didn't wear boots, so this made me extremely uncomfortable. I was nervous to open my eyes but did so anyway when I saw Dylan.

I jumped up and circled to the back of the couch.

"What are you doing here? You need to leave!" I yelled, watching as he tried to circle the other direction around the couch.

"I came to get you. You ran away you stupid bitch and for what huh? Cause I yelled a little I hit you, boo hoo let's fucking go your coming back with me Nova!" He lunged over the couch.

I leaned back and tried to run for the door when he grabbed me and threw me to the floor. I struggled as he held me down and back handed me across the face. He pulled out a knife and held it to my side.

"if you fucking run I will kill you Nova I'm not fucking joking." Dylan tried standing me up but I spit in his face.

Bad idea.

He stood and kicked me in the stomach causing me to lose my breath and gag as I layed on the floor. He took a deep breath grabbing me again and trying to lift me but he was hit in the ba k of the head with something before he could get me up.

Scott began beating Dylan  slamming his head on the floor as I got up to my knees and grabbed scotts sig he kept in the waist of his pants. He took it and aimed it at Dylan just as two other guys I recognize as aristos and chetta ran through the door seeing me leaning against the wall holding my stomach and scott pointing his gun at Dylan.

"I swear you fucking try anything and I will fucking pull the trigger!" Scott stodd gun still aimed at Dylan head. "Stand the fuck up! Now hurry up!" He made Dylan stand as he spit out blood and held his hands up.

" who the fuck you think you are?" Dylan said looking at scott. "She fuckin all three of you? I wouldn't be suprised" he scoffed " she's fucking mine and I'll fucking get her back!"

"The fuck you will cause the last thing you'll fuckin do is get a fuckin bullet through your fuckin head." Scott hit him with the pistol across his temple." Chetta help me with this pushy ass bitch." He said before they walked him out of the apartment.

I cried as ari kneeled down and hugged me helping me to my feet and sitting me on the couch.

"Are you ok nova what happened?" He asked still hugging me as I sobbed.

"I-i - he" I was cut off by another sob.

" ok, ok shhh it's okay everything is ok now." Ari said rubbing my back.

A few minutes later after trying to breath normally I watched as Scott and chetta walked back in. Scott came to me motioning for the guys to go to his office down the hall while he talked to me or made sure I was okay.

"Hey Nova look at me baby please..." He whisperd softly pulling me close to him as I took a deep breath.

"What happend?" He held me close keeping his arms locked around me as he rocked me softly on the couch as I told him the whole story finally catching my breath slightly still huffing.

As he calmed me I fell back asleep in his arm's slowly I could feel him stand then walk me to him bedroom and lay me in bed wrapping me in the blanket.

I woke up later on the sun was completely gone and the clock said it was about eight o clock at night. I sat up feeling the pain in my stomach as I groaned and stood slowly walking to the bathroom cleaning the blood off my mouth and looking at the bruises across my cheek. I was used to it by now so I took a deep breath and walked out to see scott and the guys on the couch talking.

They looked up and saw me as I grabbed as ice pack out of the freezer holding it to my face and walking back to the living room to actually day hi to everyone. Seeing chetta and ari again all looking so diffrent from the last time I saw them.

They gave me a hug then we talked and I told them.about everything then layed back on the couch while scott ordered food for everyone.

As we were eating I got curious.

" what did you guys do with him?" I looked at scott him giving back a look of an emotion I couldn't quit place.

"Broke that bitches nose arm and fingers...some ribs too." He said looking over at chetta then back at me.

"Don't forget making him hold your fuckin gun in his mouth telling him you'd blow his brains out and hide his body in a sewer so he could rot in shit." Chetta added chuckling.

Scott nodded looking back at me as I mouthed a thank you too him. Then watched whatever they had on the tv before chetta and ari decided to go to bed.i followed scott down the hall walking twords my room when he softly took my hand.

"come sleep in here... please?" He said quietly. I nodded then followed him in to his room and back to his warm bed scooting closer and holding on to him around his waist ad I rested my head on his chest the ache in my cheek and stomach slowly subsiding as I fell asleep to the soft strokes of scotts hand in my hair.
