Chapter nine

Mercury's POV

My eyes opened in a hazy blur. The beeps of machines filled my ear as the scent of the hospital filled my nose. I wasn't dead, that much was for sure. I glanced around the room my eyes finding Logan's. He was right there next to me with a huge smile on his face. Logan, my savior. " Your awake." He smiled. I smiled back.

" Yeah."

" Don't ever scare me like that again. Please."

I laughed at his seriousness. " Of course not."

" Promise?"

" Promise."

He smiled kissing my forehead, my heart fluttered. There was no doubt about it, I was developing a connection with Logan, one that died long ago with Matthew. The only downside was it could get him hurt, both of us. I still smiled at him until I noticed a tear forming in his eyes. I caressed his face sliding my thumb under his eye, " Hey, don't cry for me. Nothing happened that I didn't deserve. "

" But you don't deserve it Mercury. In fact, soon as your out of here I'll show you exactly how you should be treated."

" Thank you. " The door burst open letting a doctor in. I studied her closely, her blonde hair cut into a bob, her lively green eyes, beautiful red lips, and the perfection of her unblemished skin. This must be what a woman is,a woman without fear or a care in the world, a woman who I could never be. " Ms. Nightingale ?"

" Yes."

" Ms. Nightingale you were found nearly beaten to death with three broken ribs, a broken nose and many cuts and bruises, some fresh some old. We have some questions for you."

We! I have to get out of here! " Logan I want to go home." I cried. I need to get out of here. A woman and a police officer walked into the room. " Logan please take me home! " I pleaded. He looked at me with a pained expression on his face. " Can I take her home?"

"We just have a few questions sir, it'll only be a moment."

" No, please take me home!" I pleaded.

" Mam, I'm Officer Burks, can you tell us what your attacker looked like?" The police officer asked. His voice was gruff and annoyed. What kind of heartless person could be annoyed with a beaten woman! ? I don't know. I bet he was a woman beater too.

" No!"

" Did you see his face?"

" No!"

" Do you know the attacker?"

" I said no." I felt like crying, I wish he would stop. "Logan, please take me home."
He nodded his head, "I think that's enough." He insisted.

" Alright then, I'll stay in touch. " He left the room instantly. I could tell he never wanted to be here, and I could also tell he could care less about me. I knew he had no intention of staying in touch.

" Hi Mercury, my names Ms. Reach, and I just wanted to give you my card." She said with a calm look on her face. I started to push the card away but Logan stopped me, his eyes pleading for me to take it. I sighed taking the card in my hand. " I know you may not want it now, but if anything comes up and you need to talk about it I'm here. " she then left the room too.

" Sir visiting hours are over." The nurse said holding the door open for Logan. He looked at me steadily as a unsure expression crossed his face. " Go." He nodded still a little bit hesitant to go but he did. " Don't let anyone in to see her." He said, the nurse nodded before following him out of the room.

A piece of me left when he closed the door. I wanted to tell him everything but it's better that he doesn't know. I'd only make it worse for him and I don't think I could stand to see him hurt. I cried silently as memories flooded my mind.

" Oh yeah and if you even think about going to police, your precious Logan won't be so precious, instead he'll be six feet under the ground."

" Please, don't hurt him." I cried

" What makes him so special Mercury! What makes him so much fucking better than me!"

I didn't answer him he shook his head, " I still love you Mercury and I'll die before I let anyone take you away from me. "

He'll be back, I know he will.
