I was fucking reeling.

I swear my head was spinning so fast, I couldn't think straight.

Not only was my brother injured—bad enough he needed surgery—but that girl also dropped a bomb on me.

The I was raped bomb.

I had no fucking idea what to do.
It was a terrible feeling.

I knew someone would have the girls phone number, but I didn't know who the hell to ask for it.

I was sitting in the waiting area with my parents and Declan, tapping my foot aggressively while my brother was under the knife.

I wanted Grace and Gerard but they were both sent back to the bus and off to a hotel to spend the night.

Grace nearly got in a fist fight with Mr. Mulcahy because she was refusing to leave me. Theo had to talk her down and she finally gave in and got on the bus.

I liked Theo for her. I really thought she'd never get over Johnny but I was glad she was.

Theo was pretty much every girls wet dream. He was one of the nicest and most well spoken lads I knew. Plus he has dark hair and green eyes.

What girl doesn't love that.

My family was visibly distraught, with mam almost in tears and my dad running his hands through his hair.

"Are you okay, Ads?" Declan asked from beside me.

"As okay as I can be," I shrugged.

"We've got each other," He gave my shoulder a quick squeeze.

"Always," I nodded.

The doctor entered the room and my parents were immediately on their feet. The doctor spoke to my parents in a hushed tone. I strained my ears to listen but only made out a few words.

"Adhesion...sperm cord...infection...athletic pubalgia..."

I looked over at Declan who was looking at me with the same look of confusion. He shrugged his shoulders and I nodded.

Nearly two hours later, we were still waiting around for Johnny to wake up. Mam and dad were in his room with him, while Declan and I were seated outside it.

"So," I sighed, "Shannon Lynch?"

"What about her?" He hummed.

"Don't play dumb. I know you like her," I chuckled.

He glared at me before releasing a deep breath, "I do really like her, Ads. I've never felt like this about a girl before."

"I sense there's a 'but' coming," I rolled my eyes.

"There are no buts when it comes to Shannon," He shook his head, "I just think someone's hurting her."
