Kill Me Softly

Chapter 13 Sienna

True to his word, Dr. Santiago has me out of that fucking bed, pumped full of pain meds and a script of them in hand as he sends me on my way an hour after the shit show with Lennox. I am sore as hell but as Killian walks super ultra slow with me to the car, I find that it's not too bad.

Ya know. If I don't look at the sun. Or open my eye at all.

Or breathe too deep.

His humor and banter help keep my mind busy though, which in turn helps keep it off my injuries.

But even him telling me that Jhett is extremely particular about his room and computers doesn't help with getting in the car. The action has my chest aching to shout, to fucking scream that it is killing me to move. But I don't allow it to show aside from bitting my lip as I slowly, fucking slowly, get settled in Bodhi's Yukon.

No one comments on my pace. Not Killian who slides into the backseat after he loads Donatello in. Or Bodhi in the driver seat.

Both Jhett and Lennox are driving separately.

Apparently that is "safer" according to Lennox. The brute came back in my room like he hadn't just diminished me. Like I haven't still lived amongst the shit that has followed me. So I didn't say anything in reply to him, resulting in Lennox going to his car and waiting for the rest of us to file out.

I see Lennox pull out in front, of course in a racy looking sports car, before the Yukon slowly goes out too. Jhetts jeep is the final link in their chain as we head to their house. On the floorboard of the car Donnie lays with his head on my feet as if he senses my unease and pain. I beckon him up so I can scratch him with affection and coo love into his furry face.

"You thought you had toys before," I croak to him softly, "but buddy just wait. Taking a fucking bullet?" My voice catches on its own accord and the hitch makes my eye water further. "All the treats you can eat...my baby," I whisper to him like a secret, afraid Bodhi might make fun of me or some shit. But Killian laughs quietly beside me as he too rubs my baby down his spine, Donnie's legs going crazy as he hits the right spot.

"Oh Little one. He's gonna want for nothing," he swears to me with a cross to his heart as he holds my gaze. I grab his hand and lean into the door as I close my eyes. Soon the guys start talking quietly amongst themselves and while I try to stay alert I find myself quickly getting drowsy as their deep voiced whispers lull me to sleep.

I'm awoken as I feel a horrid pain radiating throughout my entire body and before I can push the sound down, down deep inside myself because I can't stand to show weakness, I let out a howl of agony. The reason for my distress is that someone is trying to get me picked up from my slouched position in the back of the Yukon.

"Fuck! Fuck Sin I'm sorry! Here! Here! I've got you," his deep voice sounds so wounded as he stops trying to move me all together. I breathe through the waves of nausea and pain as I try to look at the sky, now near dark but I can't really see much when I hear footsteps approaching us

"What the fuck? She okay?" I hear Bodhi ask Killian as the footsteps stop. I open my eye to see Lennox looking down at me before he orders his brother to get my dog before he gets close to my face.

His dark eye is laser focused on my good eye, staring for a moment before he states: "This is going to hurt. I am sorry," he doesn't give me any other warning before he quickly puts his arms under my knees and on my shoulders and tugs my body from Killian's and into his own.

"Fu-," I can't even finish the curse while I am adjusted in his arms before Lennox begins walking up the lit steps of their home. Instead of focusing on my distress I lean against the warm man who holds me and try to not tense my body as I resist the pain.
