Luna is a sixteen year old teenager with a past that no sixteen year old should have been through. After years of abuse and violence, Luna finally finds a way to cope after all the trauma she's been through. SURVIVE. That's Lunas goal in life, what...
I wake up to the sound of people talking around me.
I open my eyes only to close them again, Jesus why are these light so bright?
I open them again, this time they actually stay open. I see Noah and Thiago and his big cup of coffee arguing, per usual. Cancel big, more like ginormous. Next to them is Daya with a murderous look and Jimena sleeping next to her with her head on Dayas lap. And finally I see Gael looking straight at me with a smile on his face.
"Look who's finally up. Sleep enough sleeping beauty?" Gael asking still smiling.
"Fuck. Right. Off." I said with a smile on my face. We responded with a bigger smile on his face. "Now would you one of you please tell me why the hell I'm in a hospital because unless I'm seeing wrong that's exactly where we are."
"If you were expecting me to let you bleed out then your out of your mind. We were two hours from home and our most trust worthy doctors weren't close to us. I did what I had to do." Thiago said like it was the most obvious thing ever.
"Are you out of your damn mind. They'll ask questions you do know that right? How could-" I said before Thiago interrupted me. "Your my sister! I'll let the whole damn world burn as long as your okay. And maybe you right I acted without thinking of the consequences but seeing you unconscious on the floor messed with me. So I'm sorry for not listening to you but I will not apologize for bringing you here because I would do it again if it meant you live."
"Don't interrupt me and I'm sorry. I get why to brought me here okay. Thank you so much big brother but you do realize how much trouble I can get it. They will ask questions. If they find out I don't have a legal guardian, I'll get put into the system." I responded, wincing after touching my stomach.
"You'll be fine. I promise we'll figure it out little sister." Thiago said. I just nodded
"Well you'll be happy to know I couldn't go to the date with the blond." Noah said breaking the silence.
"Lucky girl." Daya and I said at the same time. Jimena started waking up.
"You're finally up." Jimena said before running towards me and hugging me. I wince again because of the pressure on my wound. "Sorry" she said after seeing my reaction.
⁂ Everyone was on their phones including me doing work. We were staying tops an hour more before leaving. We couldn't make it look to suspicious.
A knock on the door caught all of our attentions before a man about in his mid forties came in. Our devices be dammed we were paying attention to his every move.
"Ms. Ortiz how are you feeling-" he started asking before looking at me. He took a step back as if he just saw a dead person. He's facial expression was filled with shock and disbelief.
"Are you okay doctor?" I asked confused of his reaction. He still didn't respond he looked white as a sheet of paper. "Doctor."
Everyone in the room became more alert on his reaction. What if he knew of us or the mafia.
"Sorry, yes everything is okay. Sorry again you reminded me of someone I know." He responded shaking his head as if it would make him disappear. "So Ms. Ortiz how are you feeling?"
"Honestly I'm feeling quite fine, though the pain is still there." I answered honestly.
"That's about normal." He said looking at his spiral. "You came in with a knife wound on your lower part of your stomach. You lost too much blood and your blood type is AB Negative. And as may know AB Negative is quite rare to find but thankfully we had some from one of our donors. We were able to stop the bleeding." He continued. "Could you tell me what happens for the record?"
"I was coming back from work when all of a sudden these men tried to take my purse. I wouldn't let go so they stabbed me." The lie spilled out of mouth as rehearsed.
"You should be more careful next time and it's better for them to take the purse instead of hurting you." The doctor suggested.
"You tell her doc, she's the most stubborn person I know." Noah commented. The Doctor just laughed.
I gave him a look that said sʜᴜᴛ ᴜᴘ. It did the job.
"Well I recommend you stay here a day or two. Just to see how you feel. I hope you feel better Ms.Ortiz. It's a pleasure to meet you all especially you Mr. Hernandez." He says before closing the door.
The moment the door closes I'm taking the covers off of me. I get out of all the wires and finally stand up. I legs feel like jelly but I'm bleeding to stand up.
"Wow, what do you think you're doing?" Thiago says before standing up and coming towards me.
"If you think I'm staying here another hours you're crazy." I tell him before making my way to Daya who as predicted has a change of clothes for me. "Thank you."
"Told you she wouldn't stay here." I hear Daya say before I close the door of the restroom inside the room. I put in the black tank top Daya got from closet and my black hoodie, that comes with matching sweatpants.

"Ready?" I ask once I enter the room again. They all nod in agreement.
Walking out of the room towards the front of the hospital. We split up Thiago and I are going to talk to the director while the others go to the car.
"Hello I would like to talk to the director." I politely tell the nurse when we reach the front of the hospital.
"I'm sorry, he's quite busy." She says.
"It's really important, I'm sure he will receive us. Could you tell I'm Luna Ortiz is here?" I ask her.
"Sure" she says before getting on the phone again.
"What are you doing?" Thiago asks definitely concerned why I'm telling her my name like it means something to the director.
"Just trust me." I tell him.
"The director is waiting for you. His door is the last one on the right." The nurse says after putting the phone down.
"Thank you." I said before heading towards the directors office. I knock once before coming in.
"I'll be dammed when I saw a Luna Ortiz was here I honestly didn't think it was you. It's a pleasure to see you again." He says with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Mendes how's your family?" I ask before sitting on one of the chairs in-front of his desk.
"They're great all thanks to you. To what do I owe the pleasure?" He asked
" I need a favor." I said with a smile on my face.
⁂
"How do you know the guy." Thiago asked once in the car. After my chat with Mr. Mendes I was able to get discharged from the hospital.
"I meet him when I was eleven, when I was still in Diego's posesión." Diego is the Ex Spanish mafia don.
