Intoxicated Hearts (Beau Brooks Fanfiction)

Chapter 8

ELLIES POV:

I flutter my eyes open to see a white room with the smell of hand sanitizer. I look up to see Riley laying in bed watching the hospital TV.

"Riley!" I say as I jump up onto his bed.

"Hey Ell," he manages to get out.

"You okay?" I ask. Stupid question, he obviously isn't okay.

"Just happy to still be here," he answers smiling. That's what I love about Riley, when things are bad he always looks at the brighter side of it.

"So, did you see who did it?" I ask him. He looks out the window thinking.

"I'm not sure, it went really fast," he answers me. My phone beeps with a message. I look at it to find four new messages.

Beau Bear: Hey El, sorry I had to leave for work but I will come back with the boys after. Love you. Xx

---------------------------------

Mum: Hey honey, dad and I left the hospital because we had work but we will come back around four to get you and Riley home. X

---------------------------------

Ariana: Hope you're okay darling. Call me if you need anything. <3

Aw they're all so sweet. I take a look at the last message. It came through last night when I was sleeping.

Blocked ID: Hey Ell, hope you had a fun night last night! You think this is bad? I'm only just getting started.

I look at it and gasp.

"What is it Ellie?" Riley asks me. I show him and Riley looks up at me with wide eyes.

"It can't be, I thought she was," Riley starts before I interrupt him.

"So did I," I answer quickly.

"We have to keep Beau and the boys safe," Riley says looking at his phone to see if he got a message, "I got one too." He hands me his phone as I look at the message.

Blocked ID: You played with fire with me Riley, now let’s see who burns.  

"Shit," I mutter. Riley looks down at his injuries.

"Do you think she did this to me?" he asks me through terrified eyes. I nod my head slightly.

"I thought this was over," Riley says.

"I did but there was this place in my mind that knew she wasn't gone," I answer. A wave of guilt washes over Riley's face. Our phones both buzz at the same time.

Blocked ID: If only you could see how guilty you both look right now. I want revenge and I want it now. Good luck, you’re gonna need it. Xx

"Did you get the same message?" Riley asks showing me his phone. I nod at him and we both look out the window. I see someone standing in the middle of the street with long brown hair and a white hospital robe on.

"Riley look down there," I say pointing as a bus drives past.

"Look at what?" he asks me looking confused. I look back to see the person gone.

"Nothing," I mutter as I sit back down. I honestly thought she was gone, gone forever. I thought we had taken care of that, obviously not.
