Doing Dirt {edited+completed}

Chapter 9

"Sarah picked herself up from the cold hard ground and clenched her stomach very tightly. It hurt like hell. She staggered over to our house. That's when I found her in such condition and cleaned her up and she told me what happened. So as I said before, she buried her face in my chest and I hugged her. She kept groaning deeply in between her cries and I couldn't dismiss it. I pulled her cold body away from mine. I gently grabbed her by the shoulders and stared into her wet green eyes. 'What's wrong?' I asked her. Sarah just re clenched her stomach. At that point I understood that the doctors couldn't wait till the morning, I had to take her in now."

My girlfriend smoothly wraps her arms around my neck. I plant a small warm kiss on her forehead reassuring her that everything was going to be alright with Sarah.

"I picked Sarah off the couch and carried her bridal style so she wouldn't have to walk anywhere. I was strong so I could hold her up, also she was skinny so it made it easier for me. I paced myself over to my sisters room and got a hold of her car keys-"

"Were you crazy?" I hear Evelyn snap at me nimbly, "You were fourteen! You wouldn't of known how to drive!" I chuckle breezily and she lets off a 'huh?' in a confused tone. She gives me 'the look' harshly meaning 'what.' "Or would I?" I reply with a cheeky grin. "Just get to it!" Evelyn playfully adds.

"I got her car keys and rushed out the door cautiously making sure my sister is safe and sound. After hearing two beeps signaling that I've unlocked the car, I opened the passenger door and put Sarah in the seat. I closed the door and walked around the car to the drivers spot. I slid the key in the ignition and turned it sideways and the car started. My sister was constantly asking me if this was safe. I just kept replying with one simple answer, 'Would I ever do anything to hurt you?' "

Evelyn looks at me wistfully, "I love you so much babe. Do you know that? I love how you care for everyone, never hurt them. You're a really kind and gentle soul. You're the only person that has made me feel safe. Whenever I'm with you I know that you will protect me and never pull the shit that Rowan pulled on Sarah. You're truly amazing, phenomenal, well in one word perfect!"

My cheeks start to burn a bit and before I realize I'm blushing. Evelyn's hands slide away from my neck. Her delicate fingertips graze over my hot skin and she cups my face pulling in for a kiss. I respond quickly and entwine my tongue with hers. Evelyn pulls away and eagerly asks, "What happened next?? I'm dying to know." I smile showing off my dimples. Her hands swiftly slide back to my neck.

"Dad and I had this secret; he was gradually teaching me how to drive. I was tall enough so my feet reached the pedals. He would let me drive around the neighbourhood in his car, with him in the passenger seat of course. He said I was a natural and that I would get my driver's license easily when I was legally allowed."

"Cool dad you there eh," Evelyn speaks trying to sound 'gangsta', "ok that was a terrible accent and joke!" We both chuckle at her attempt, "but seriously, like my dad would never let me do that!" She says in her normal sweet tone.

"So I drove off to the doctors. There was a special 24/7 one that wasn't far away from our house. Checking I have dads other credit card in my wallet, I got Sarah in as quickly as possible. Luckily I didn't get caught by any cops and I didn't speed! Imagine what deep shit I'd be in!"

"Thank god for that! I can just imagine that..." Evelyn pauses for a minute, "wow ok now could've been a funny scene! Haha" she manages to blurt out with a serious face.

"I parked the car in an allocated spot and shut it off, placing the key to the small red car in my pocket. I rose up from my seat, got out and slammed the door shut behind me. I reached the passenger side and helped my sister get of the car. Before her feet could touch the pavement, I swooped her up in my arms. I locked the car and headed for the entrance. Pushing the door wide open with my foot, I entered and placed Sarah down steadily on the chair in the waiting room. I paced over to the front desk and told them about my sisters condition. Of course I lied about what happened to her, I was going to call the police later about it anyways."

Evelyn stares at me confused. "Why did you lie though?" I clear my throat and begin to explain my past actions, "they would have called the police and then th police would start harassing her with questions and start taking photos of her and her cuts, putting together a case. At the mental state that she was in, she wasn't prepared for all that hassle."

I resume recounting the events that took place that night, "The lady at the counter said that the doctor will take her in now because if her condition as the fact that there were only two other people there apart from us.I thanked the lady, 'Beth' as her name tag read and hurried over to my sister. Her hazy green eyes looked up at me as she tilted her head upwards towards my face. 'Are we going?' Her pink lips trembled. I nodded gently.

Sarah extended her cold bruised arms. I lifted her up and held her close in my arms. The doctor greeted us with a warm smile and signalled to come into his cabinet. I walked in and lay my sisters weak body on the not so comfortable looking doctors' lounge. She twitched around on the harsh blue material combing her hands through her sweaty brown hair. I sat impatiently in the chair while the doctor softly poked Sarah's stomach asking if it hurt. She just rubbed her green eyes and let out long murmurs when the bruises were touched."

A long sigh is let out by both parties before I continue, "The doctor said that Sarah narrowly escaped serious damage, not to mention a broken rib and potential internal bleeding if the rib poked any of her organs, veins or blood vessels."

"Oh my gosh," Evelyn's voice nearly trembling, "Imagine the pain she would've been in. That animal! He should've been locked up for good! A man who hits a woman is no man at all!" She implies fiercely.

"I'll talk about Rowan getting locked up later on babe." I add with a smile. "Yes!" Evelyn softy exclaims, "Got what he deserved. Bastard." Can she get any cuter? Her hazel eyes twinkle as she promptly waits for me to continue.

"The doctor prescribed my sister the appropriate medicine to get from the chemist next door. I thanked him for the help while Sarah tried to get up. She was weak and collapsed in my arms. I carried her away and she dozed off. I unlocked the car and lay her down in the passenger seat. I quietly shut the door and headed towards the chemist to buy the appropriate mediation. I handed in the note from the doctor and received a small box of tablets. I charged it to my debit card.

I walked out and got in the car. Sarah's hands were tucked away smoothly under her face, her body curled up on the seat. The ride home was quick and very quiet. As soon as I parked the car, I got my sister out and into the house. After making sure I had locked the car I walked upstairs and put Sarah to bed, tucking her cold body under the covers. She murmured hazily and instantly got warmer when I put on the electric blanket and kissed her goodnight on the forehead."

"Aww that's so cute! Well how much you care for her and look after her, not her being beaten up." I laugh letting my dimples roam free. Evelyn always knows how to lighten up a daunting situation. "Do continue." she says in a posh accent. I sit staring blankly at the open window. All the thoughts of what happened after.
