At Night.

Chapter 17

I awoke to the sound of a hushed voice that completly filled my ear. My heavy eyelids lifted only to be closed back from the bright white light. I finally convinced my stubborn ass conscientious to open my eyes.  As soon as I opened them I wanted to close them back and I was greeted by white walls and the continuous, annoying beeping sound at the side of me. Of course I'm in a fucking hospital just great, out of all the places Dria you had to land yourself in the hospital.

By the open doorway I could see Kat talking to what I think is the doctor. I quietly tried to get up but Kat hears me and the conversation immediately ceased.

"Oh good you're up. How are you feeling?"she says rushing to my side.
"I'm fine,"I say reassuringly. She sighs with relief.

"That's good to hear,we've been worried sick!"she whispered.

"We?"I asked. As soon as I said that Mr hot and bothered walked in looking fucking amazing as ever. He looked pissed at the world , his anger giving off as he came closer and closer to me. Ignazio look remorseful when he edged closer to my bedside. "Do you remember what happened?" We're the first words to come out of his mouth. "All I remember was me blacking out, Kat and Aiden saying that they would put me in the hospital." I said in a cautious tone.
Everyone in the room looked at each other with shock including the doctor. "We need to get her back to school like right now!" Kat bursted out. All the others seem to agree as everyone just scattered across the room like wild animals.

I looked around with amazement as Kat and Ignazio argued about who I should stay with.
"Can someone please tell me what's going on?!" I screamed in frustration. The room became dead silent, everyone looked at me like I grew two horns but I didn't care I was fucking tired of people hiding shit from me. No one said a word for a few minutes until Kat spoke in a sympathetic voice."Dria people are coming for you, not in any caring way... Like wanting to kill you kind of way, so we need to get you out of here and back to the school which is the safest place to be right now'" she rushed out. My face was blank for awhile but in my mind was "What the fuck did she just say?!" But of course I never said that aloud. I just simply nodded my throbbing head hoping that everyone would stop watching me like I'm fucking disabled or something.

Everyone cleared out of the hospital except Ignazio who stood at the corner of the room watching me like a caged animal. "You know you never failed to amaze me cara," he said in his Italian accent. I tried getting off the bed, purposely not responding to his comment but he rushed to my side in a hurry as if I was a broken child. I instantly shot him a glare as he lifted me up in a helpless position in his arms. But he gave me his signature smirk that trumps my glare. Stupid sexy, arrogant, cocky jerk with his sexy panty dropping accent. And yes I did just call him sexy, I mean it's not like I want to have sex with the guy or anything or do I? I was so deep into my rambling thoughts that I didn't notice we were already inside of Ignazio's car; which I did not know he had. An Audi R8 Matte design... "Whoa.... ", was all my brain could muster. I am in love with Audi cars!

"Are you strapped in securely? Let me help you with that." An overbearing Ignazio persisted.
"I've got it! Geez what's your problem? Why is everyone treating me like this? Like some fragile bunny that needs constant protection. I'm pretty badass have you know... I can handle my own." I responded angrily at him. I didn't mean to be angry after all he is trying to help, but nothing makes sense and I hate when people treat me like I'm incapable.
Ignazio just gazed at me as if he was holding back something but decided against it and accelerated his vehicle. I was a little annoyed that he didn't answer any of my questions which only spiked my anger  a little more and caused me to be even more inquisitive.

"Fine. Don't answer me then.... Are you a rich boy or something? How can you afford such a car and you're not even in college yet?" I asked in order to distract him so he'll start answering "some" of my questions. He breathed a long sigh as he explained to me that he indeed came from a wealthy family because of his father who runs a business. I simply nodded my head in understanding as we pulled up to the school.

Ignazio quickly got out of the car and hurried to open my car door for me like a true gentlemen. I was impressed. Suddenly he looked over his shoulder and at his surroundings before putting an arm around my shoulders carrying me inside the compound. Sigh. When will they tell me what's going on and stop treating me like a child. I thought they cared about me.

"Go inside, get some more rest. Kat should be home any minute to be with you, her and Aiden went to find someone who could explain the reason why you blacked out and were unconscious for quite a while. Everything will be elucidated to you once they come back I promise. I know you're extremely confused as to what is going on and annoyed that everyone has been quiet for so long but I swear it's for your own good. I'll be right here when you wake up. " Ignazio said to me once we were in my dorm. He watched me with such compassion in his eyes that I just nodded in response as I made my way to my bedroom. As I was about to enter Ignazio spoke up again and made my breath catch in my throat by his words... "Alexandria, even though I barely know you, you have become such an important person in my life in such a short amount of time. I care for you as if I've known you my whole life. I feel very protective of you for some reason and I'm not going anywhere. You are not alone".
