Adelyn

Chapter 6

Nathan's POV:

I was driving home from an important meeting with a group of men that was apart of my dads buisness. He passed away in a car accident with my mother last year. After he passed I was left to take care of his buisness. We sold drugs and weapons. Since I was only 16 at the time of my parents passing I couldn't live on my own.

I was forced to live with my Uncle Marco, I didn't want to live with him. I wanted to stay in my own house and run the business for my father. After coming to an agreement with my uncle he agreed to let me stay in the house if I agree to call him once a month and give him 5% of the profit from the business.

I was coming back from the meeting when I noticed a girl walking down the side of the road. She looked very familiar. I could tell something was seriously wrong with her so as I flew passed her I pressed on the breaks, and flipped my car around. I started heading towards her and she tried to pick up her pace, to the point she was speed walking, while limping of course.

I pulled my car up next to her and rolled down the window. "Holy shit.." I said. The girl walking down the side of the road was Adalyn Jacob's. She looked very disoriented, and out of breath. As I took a closer look at her I noticed she was covered in bruises and blood. "Do you need a ride?" I quickly ask as she looks at me "I..Uhm no thank you. I think I can make it." she quietly said, her voice was trembling.

"You need to go to a hospital, you look really bad."

Something terrifying just happened to her and I could tell she was traumatized. I don't know what happened to her but I was determined to find out.

I quickly got out of the car and walked around to the passenger side. She slowly stepped away from me, and her face was full of fear. "What the fuck happened to you." I ask as I slowly step closer to her examining her wounds.

"I..I don't know.." she mummbled. I could see tears forming in her eyes. Just by looking into her eyes I could tell she was lying. She knew exactly what happened but she wasnt going to tell me. Why would she I'm like a complete stranger to her?

I reached out and softly grabbed her arm as I looked at her cuts more. She instantly flinched away at my touch.  As soon as she flinched I immediately had a pretty good idea of what had happened to her.

"Please, let me give you a ride, I'll take you wherever you want to go." I softly spoke. She stared at me hesitantly for a moment before finally speaking.

" Okay could you please just take me to my house?" He quickly opened the passenger door for me. "Sure, do you need help getting in the car? You look like your in a lot of pain."

"Uhm..I think I can do it.." She whimpered as she slowly tried to take a step towards my car.

I watched as tears formed in her eyes. "Actually, I'm sorry I need help I dont think I can do it." she said as a few tears fell down her face.

I walked over to her and stood in front of her. "Yeah for sure, here wrap your arm around my neck." I stood in front of her for a moment as she hesitated before she finally put her arm on my neck. As I picked her up I held one hand on her back and the other wrapped around her legs, carrying her bridal style.

She flinched when I picked her up causing me to quickly stop walking. "Oh, shit sorry, am I hurting you?" I quickly said as I staired at her. Tears continued flowing down her face and my heart ached looking at her this way. "No your alright..Im just scared." Scared of what?

I gently set her down in my car and reached across to buckle her seatbelt. I watched as she looked at my every move. I shut the passenger door and quickly ran around to the driver side and took my seat.
