Save me....(remake)

Getting settled chapter 4

Brianna's POV

~~~~~~~~~~~

My ribs hurt from when that guy broke them, my head hurt as if someone had kicked it, and my body just hurt all over. I couldn't tell much about my surroundings, except for the van was slowing down, darkness, and people mumbling. As the van came to a complete stop, I could lift my eyelids for a moment to see Hailey before the doors opened and a reddish-orange glow was cast over her before they drooped shut again.

"Welcome home, girls, you're going to be here a long time"

I didn't move from my position on the ground. I just decided to let the person in the back grab me to carry me inside. I was jostled around a little bit, from what I could tell, before they finally decided who would take me inside. I was half conscious and trying to not slip back into unconsciousness. It was taking all my energy, which isn't much, to try and pry my eyes open and look at my surroundings.

"Wake up, you don't have to pretend. Your safe.....ish" the guy carrying me said distantly.

All I could do was groan as he put pressure on my ribs, but I couldn't open my eyes yet. I felt the guy shrug, and he continued his walk towards some declining stairs. I could barely hear Hailey as she stumbled behind me, but I knew she was there; I could smell her perfume. Someone in front of the guy who was carrying me unlocked a door and pushed him through. He walked immediately into what I assumed to be a bedroom and laid me down somewhat gently.

"Is all she going to do? Is sleep?! We gotta make sure she's awake for Tony, otherwise this was all for nothing" one of the guys said; it sounded like the one that first grabbed me.

"I. Don't. Know! I'm not the one who broke her ribs! And you think I'm the idiot around here" the other guy mumbled softly.

"Oh well, I guess that we have to, oh, I don't know, do what he wants while she's unconscious...?" the first guy said.

"No! Not while she's like this, Matt. You know the rules, and you know how Tony is with his girls" the other guy said kinda softly.

"Too bad. I want some of that" the firs guy, Matt, said.

"You ain't gettin' shit from her. Not from me either" Hailey butted in.

"Well, your awake, you're pretty, and very close to a guy, with orders for you. I'd either back up, or drop the dress" Matt said seductively.

"Matt, she's not worth it, and he said not yet, with either of them, until she gets better"

"Fine! Damn bitches can't let a guy do shit anymore!" Matt yelled as he stormed out of the room and up the stairs.

"Thanks, Danny. You didn't have to do anything to help. I could be handled on my own" Hailey said quietly.

"Danny, who?" I mumbled incoherently.

"Your dumb ass ex-boyfriend. Which means, your safe from them, and your welcome"

"For f*cks sake! Why did you not listen to me! I said not to say our names in the van" Danny said that quietly, but with rage.

"Suck it up, big boy. And I wanna know about Julia and what happened to her!" Hailey screamed at him.

"I-I-I can't tell you. I just....I just can't" he whispered softly and walked out of the room, but stayed downstairs with us.

Hailey sighed heavily, dropped her stuff on her bed, and walked out. I laid there, trying to stay awake, but wishing I would slip into unconsciousness. And much to my pleasure, my second wish came true.

~~~~NEXT MORNING~~~~

I woke up with a dull throbbing in my head. I tried to sit up, but something was restraining me. I looked down, after I pried my eyes open, and saw that someone had stripped me and wrapped my ribs in ace bandage. Now why would someone want to do that, I wondered? I took a quick look around my room - and realized it wasn't my room. I was somewhere unfamiliar and...pink. I heard people talking in the other room, so I opened the drawers to look for clothes to slip on, and found some in my size. I slipped them on; short shorts, and a black tank top with a dark purple pattern on it.

"Yeah, I don't know if she's going to be able to handle being around you, but I know that - oh, hey! Didn't think you were up yet!" Hailey said too enthusiastically, almost spilling her morning tea.

"I'm, up. Where are we? Who touched me last night!?" I was furious because I don't let anybody - and I mean ANYBODY - touch me.

"I stripped you, he helped wrap up your ribs" she said nodding her head to the other person on the couch.

"Daniel Combs. I should've known. Never could stay away after I left you" I spat out bitterly. Then turned my head to Hailey "Why do I feel like someone is coming down the stai-"

"Because someone is. Glad you're finally awake, my precious Brianna. I see you're feeling a little better this morning, and you found your clothes, I see" he said sliding his eyes up and down my body, making me feel naked.

"I was just prepping this one," Danny said nodding his head towards Hailey "when she came in. The two of us wrapped her ribs last night after she passed out. I didn't expect her to wake up, or if she did, be walking around" he said truthfully.

My mind was whirling, and I was trying to process what the one guy had just said "Wait...you bought me clothes?! Why kind of si-" the air was suddenly knocked out of me as the one guy slapped me - hard.

"Do NOT, say anything unless I ask you a question. And if you wanna be a smart ass, you'll get hit even harder. This was a warning; I'll have Matt down here in about an hour, so you better have her mouth under control or he gets what he wants" he said to Danny.

He stormed out of the room and up the stairs, as I collapsed on myself. I sat on the floor, astonished. Hailey was just looking at me as if I had interrupted her mid-sentence. Danny looked guilty, and pissed at himself. I glanced at the door the guy left through, started to get up, and tripped over a footrest that I didn't know was there. I looked at it as if it were a new type of species, and pushed it away from me.

"I'm, uhh, going to go to, umm, bed. Uhh, night, guys.." I said dazedly; not thinking.

"Wait, Bre. Come here. I should talk to you about something" Danny said tiredly and very warily.

"It'll wait..." I said as I got up and walked to the bedroom.

"I'm going to talk to her, so please don't come in when I close the door. Or eavesdrop" he said quietly as he followed me.

"I don't know why you want to talk to me. I don't know why...I don't know anything anymore!" I say plopping on my bed, and regretting it as tears sprung to my eyes.

Danny closed the door softly and sat next to me. He put his hand over one of mine and just left it there while I cried.
