Rischio (BWWM)

14. Oh

Sorry it's been so long exams are killing me and so is work. Anywho.

Top Liam the german.

--------------------
"So Liam, I'm assuming that you are German. So do they teach you guys to withstand a hard punch to the gut?" My brother asks as we all settle down. Well at least most of us. Mariano just left us, but truly he could suck my aśs.
"I guess you could say that knowing how strong I am. Am I right ladies?" He asks raising an eyebrow. Lifting his arms he flexs them, just to merely show off. Not really listening I hummed tuning them out. My show was on and I have just discovered that a TV comes up from the table. Man America has been missing out. Or maybe just me. Oh to heĺl with it.

Glancing my way, Liam leans in to poke my cheek. Sending a quick glare I focus back on the show.

I should have bit him. He leans in and presses his nose in the side of my cheek. Blinking slowly I refused to give him any more attention. He starts flexing his nose against my cheek which starts to bring a giggle up from out of me but I force it right back down.

"For God's sake stop watching that show. It's so childish." Liam complains flopping back defeated on the couch. Grabbing the remote I pause the show.

"Just because you feel lesser than Zuko withcho ole butterfly nose doesn't mean you can call my show childish." I say rolling my eyes.

"IT'S THE LAST AIRBENDER FOR GOD'S SAKE!" He yells throwing his arms out.

"Oh please, just stop being a baby." I say unpausing the TV. Turning from him, I slowly chant Zuko and Karata. They are my shìt. Hearing Liam scoff, I don't even try to hide the smirk on my face. Entering the room again Sunshine has a stern look on him face.

"Hey, Liam... I think you might want to get them out of here. Reggie's men are planning to camp out until someone shows. So boss thinks we should get them out to a safe house." Sunshine says before tossing me a bag of gummy bear. Bloody hell-o!

"You know what Sunshine," I say thinking " Mariano is running a hard race. I mean gummy bears. What more could I want." I say laughing. Smiling Sunshine winks at me.

Quickly Liam gets up looking at the other side of the room. There's a silent moment in my show and there's a faint beeping noise.

"It's a trick. They know. Everyone through the wall door." He says as my sister and brother run towards the door. Suddenly the wall Liam was just looking at blows in and three men try to advance forward. All I can hear is a ringing in my ears. Shouting is coming from everywhere. White dust fills the room and suffocates my lungs. Everything beings to play in slow motion. Liam keeps yelling but it's in german. Feeling my heart drum, I noticed that my feet are already moving. Hearing more gunshots I dive for the door. Now I can hear my heart beat playing my ear drums. Everything is muffled and it's hard to see the door we are supposed to take.

In grazing pain my body takes two bullets. At first it just felt as if someone punched me and then fire burned where I had been hit.  The pain was surreal but it doesn't stop me from crawling through the door. With every move my body pills against me to stop, trying to slow me down to the point of giving up. I can't give up though, not now.

Another bullet pierces my side. An agonizing scream fills my lungs and I lose feeling on my left side. Grabbing my hands Ethan pulls me in and behind the wall. Looking back I watch Liam closes him and Sunshine out with Reggie's men.

Struggling to pull free from my brothers hold I hear myself yell out but it is tunneled. It's was like I began to watch everything play out but I was the audience that could only watch as the actor trapped themselves in their doom.

"NO! LIAM!" I heard in my voice before floating out of consciousness.

*********
Heavy.

My body feels heavy. I still feel pain run through my blood. Curling my hands I feel pain strike my nerves at an unbearable rate. Listening I here a heart monitor beat. Listening harder I hear a low mumble in Italian. I strain hard to pull myself out of this frozen state.

Another voice chimes in. This one is light. Like a mother. A woman. Pain laces through me like morphine numbs the soul. I begin to shake and I can feel cold sweat pour down my backside but I can also feel a fever push behind my eyelids, burning the red light I see behind my lids. Panic floods me.

Am I in a hospital?

Suddenly I am pricked on my arm and the pain begins to flush my system. Leaving sore muscles and rigid bones a numbness so I could relax. Sighing lightly I finally open my eyes. I see Mariano with his head down almost as of he was asleep but I knew better. All I wanted to do was lean over and hug him but my arms are wrapped with wires and IV's. Closing my eyes I hear the door open again.

The soft click of shoes has me guessing if a man or a woman just walked in, or two? Moving next to me Mariano stands up. Another set of shoes make their way to me.

"Liam...Sunshine?" Mariano asks in a voice full of authority. God dämn this heart monitor. Opening my eyes again I look up at the three men standing above me.

"Ten causality sir." Sunshine says without blinking.

"Good." Mariano says glancing at the TV.

"Well,... she is okay?" I hear in a german accent. Liam.... Closing my eyes again I just listen.

"Stable. I can't tell when she will be up fully." Mariano says

I guess it's time to let them know I'm not dead or dying. Clearing my throat, I open my eyes. All three looked at my with shock eating away their face. Quickly Mariano's face smooths out in a slick stone. Cool and emotionless. Frowning I move my eyes to the bottle of water sitting on the table.

Rushing over Sunshine got the bottle. Raising it to my lips, I drank like I had just made it across North Africa. Breaking the bottle from me, Sunshine sets it back on the table.

"Slow down little one. You don't want to drown yourself." Sunshine says laughing. Narrowing my eyes I attempt to speak again.

"Ella and Ethan?" I ask glancing around the small room. I assume for a casual 'oh yeah... them'.

"They seem alright. They miss you quite much." Liam speaks up.

"How long have I been here?" I look over at Mariano. Slowly his face turns to me but his eyes are as gentle as the sea.

"A whole seven days."

Squeezing my eyes closed I try to gather my thoughts. Seven days? Was it the drugs? The fever is still prevalent and dizziness.

Maybe it's okay. I literally am half asleep and you guys rock. Love ya!
