Yellow Flicker: Chapter 16

Beep

I let out a silent groan. My eyes slowly flutter open. It's dark and I have no idea where I am. I look around, squinting my eyes when it all comes back to me.

The bowling ally.

Dancing.

The shooting.

I try to sit up, but a pain in my ribs stop me. Right. I've been shot. Awesome. I see Lauren sitting on the chair closes to me, then I only realize she's holding my hand.

"Laur." I croak out, but no response. I squeeze her hand, earning a groan from her. I do it again, and this time, she wakes up.

"Hu-Y/N!" She exclaims, waking the others up. "You're awake!" I nod and point to my throat. "Water?" I nod. Lauren gets up and hands me a cup of water.

I drain it down, refreshing my throat.

"I'll go get a doctor." Ally says, getting up. In minuets, Ally comes back in with a doctor.

"Hello, I'm Dr. Quinn." He has black hair and green eyes. "How are you feeling, Ms. L/N?"

"Like I've been shot, you?" I crack a smile.

He chuckles, "Alright. That's normal. You've only been out for about two days. Though you can leave tomorrow, I still need you to stay overnight. Don't do anything physical until I give you the okay. You'll be coming here next week for a check up and so on. I got you your pain medicine, okay?"

"Sure." I shrug. Like hell I'm not doing anything physical. My job is all physical.

"Okay, get some rest." He walks out.

I look at Demi, "You do know that I'm not taking it easy, right? Like, I'm going back to my job."

"No you're not," She says. "I'm listening to the doctor, and so are you."

I groan.

"Hey Y/N?" Lauren questions, I look at her. "Do you remember anything before you know, blacked out?"

I try to remember. But all I can remember is the shooting and me getting shot.

"No. Why?"

Lauren's POV.

She doesn't remember. She doesn't remember me saying I love her.

"No reason." I mumble as everyone else in the room looks at me with sorrow and pity.

"What happened after I blacked out?" Y/N asks.

"Demi and I tackled the man and put him in handcuffs while Harry checked on you." Bea explains.

"That man, Y/N," Demi starts. "He was your father."

I look at Y/N, looking for emotions. But nothing shows. Her face is blank as she stares at Demi.

"Okay."

Your POV

I'm not surprised. I knew it had to be someone related to me. My whole family practically hates me.

"Did anyone else get hurt?" I ask, looking down at my lap.

"No. Just the guys that worked with your father." Demi informs me.

"It's not over," I quietly speak. "My mother is still out there."

"Yeah, I know. But just relax for now, okay?"

~~~

I'm getting annoyed and agitated. Whenever I want or need something, the girls or Harry does it for me.

Like, when I reached for the remote that was literally across from me, Normani got up, walked to it and gave it to me. At first it was nice, with all the caring and giving, but now it's annoying.

"Could you all stop?" I ask. "Like, I can do things myself."

"Yeah, but the doct-"

"I know what the doctor said!" I interrupt Dinah. "He said no physical activity! I can reach for the damn remote!"

"We just care about you, Y/N." Camila quietly says.

"I know that!" I exclaim. "But you act like I've lost my limbs or something! You're treating me like I'm fragile when I'm not!"

It goes quiet.

"Just, please, stop." I mummer, getting up. "And I can wash my on dish off."

Sharron L/N

I click on the first article. Since I can't help physically, I'll just research. I'm in my room with my laptop.

Sharron L/N, married to Matt L/N. The two are a dangerous but fun couple. High school sweethearts, they went to college together.

During college they went skiing, scooping diving and a lot more. Then there first born child, Stacey, came along. Their second child, Y/N came a year later. Their third child-

Third? I have a brother or sister? That's not right. I continue to read.

Their third child, Evan L/N came about two years later. Stacey, now 20, Y/N, 19, and Evan is 17. But, Stacey died in a tragic accident. Y/N is nowhere to be found, while Evan is living in California and in high school.

"Holy shit," I whisper. "I have a brother."

~~~

"You didn't tell me."

"What was I suppose to say? Oh, Y/N look m! You have a damn brother?" Demi exclaims.

"It would've been nice to know." I quietly say. "And he's in Cal-"

"No." Demi cuts me off.

"Why not?" I ask, frowning.

"Because. He might be connected to Sharron."

"Exactly! It's a win win!"

"No. My decision is final."

~~~

I knock on Lauren's door, waiting for her to answer. She does about a minute later.

"Oh, hey Y/N!" She smiles at me. "What's up?"

"You know how I said you could win my trust back?" She nods. "Good. You can win it back by taking me to my brother and not telling anybody about it."

"A brother?" She asks.

"Yes," I nod. "Apparently I have one. He lives here in California. He goes to Liberty High, not to far away from here. Demi can't know about this, nobody can." She looks at me, then my room.

"Alright," She nods. "I'll do it."

I smile, "Awesome. Be ready by tonight."

Lauren's POV

"What the hell did I just get myself into?" I ask myself as I pack a bag. "Whatever, it's for someone I love. It's for Y/N. She needs me. I can't back out of this."

Don't screw up, Lauren.
