The Tracy Family Feud (Thunderbirds)

Chapter 77

"Right I know you're going to hate me but I had to check, you've got swelling and inflammation which is normal in sexual assault victims because of the amount of force used, you have minor lacerations to your wrists and legs, I'll need to give you a physical tomorrow and then I'll decide whether you're fit for operation, if not you'll have to stand down for a while" Virgil explained and he placed the clipboard to the side, he shone a light in my eyes "pupil diameter seems normal, I guess there's no evidence of head trauma, you seem a little dehydrated though, I'll give you some antibiotics and some fluids and we'll see how you are in the morning"

"Thanks" I whispered

"No problem, I almost lost you and I didn't know what to do with myself" Virgil mumbled, he hooked me up to another IV that contained some form of hydration solution "what did he do to you"

I knew Virgil was trained in psychology, so talking to him wouldn't be that hard

"Why did you have to ask" I muttered, this forced me to relive moments of my childhood where horrible things happened between me and Lucas "when I was about 9 years old he touched me, I didn't tell my dad because I thought he would hit me, I thought that I should just take it by the chin, but he started emotionally abusing me and it got to the point where...he...almost assaulted me but he stopped because he thought I had no use to him"

"That's just twisted and awful, how could anyone do that to a child" Virgil frowned

I felt bad for telling him, surely he wouldn't want me after this

"Can you get my phone, I want to listen to some music" I requested politely

"Sorry, I can't, same rules for hospitals apply here, there's an increased-" Virgil spoke

"Risk of radiation and it interferes with the machines, right" I finished his sentence "can I at least have extra pillows then"

"Alright, just for my special princess" Virgil smiled and he walked out of the room, he returned with the pillows "sorry the only spare ones I could get before Alan used them on his pillow fort were my ones, I hope you don't mind"

"No I don't mind at all" I grinned, I had obtained his pillows which meant they smelled of him and holy sh*t they did, Virgil kissed me goodnight and he left me again, I think I was distracted by his scent, which makes him really hot, I got to sleep eventually, I woke up suddenly because of a nightmare, the solution in my IV was almost depleted, should I tell Virgil, I still feel a bit funny, ripped out my lines, I stumbled to his room, but I collapsed before I could open his door

"Liv, oh my god what happened" Virgil asked, he was panicking, I tried to get up but my upper body strength had failed me

"Virgil, help me" I cried, I was drenched in sweat, my body was hurting so much, I had a headache too

"Oh Jesus, what are you doing" Virgil mumbled, he helped me to stand up, he walked me back to the infirmary and he cleaned my bleeding arm where I ripped out the lines

"I'm sorry" I apologised

"What for, to be honest this is the sort of thing I would do" Virgil laughed and he decided to leave the IV out because he thought I was fine, he gave me a bottle of water to last me the night, but I slept in his room in the end

*Virgil's POV*

All I could hear was a ringing noise in my ears, my head hurts

"Virgil you're as pale as a ghost, are you alright" Scott asked

"Yeah, I'll be fine" I reassured him

My vision went blurry for a few seconds and then it went black
