Unconquered (Being Rewritten)

Chapter 15

Chapter 15 (Alex's pov)

After Kat left with my brothers, Chad walked into my room.

I look up at him and smile. "Mi hermano!" I hold my arms out to him. He smiles, comes over, and hugs me close.

"Hey there, Alex," he says. "How are you feeling?"

"Sore, tired, missing a leg," I reply nonchalantly.

His eyes widen slightly. "Let me see," he says.

I pull the blanket back and lift my stump of a leg up so he can see. He runs a hand through his hair, staring at it.

"I can't believe you got hurt like this," he whispers.

I wave away his worry. "I'm still fine. Haven't died yet," I say, chuckling. Chad and Chloe both instantly wear matching pained expressions. I cringe and look down. Mumbling a quick sorry, I lay down and pull the blanket over my head, embarrassed and regretting bringing up such a painful subject for them.

I feel a gentle hand on my head through the blanket. I lower myself down.

"Aly, please don't be difficult," I hear Chloe say softly.

"I did bad," I mumble.

"Alex, you're fine. Now, come back out here. You've got more visitors," she says gently.

I pull the blanket down and see that the Clan is all here, minus Chad. He must have left to go help Kat or something.

Everyone bows to me. "Boss," they say in unison.

Kate is holding her twins, Donnie and Terra. Dustin is standing protectively beside her, with his arm wrapped around her waist and resting on her baby bump.

Austin is standing there with Chase, and his girl, Tiffany Jared. She has hazel eyes, snow white skin, and long black hair that is pulled back in a ponytail, which reaches down to her hips.

Bobby stands closer to me, with his girl, Lily Hernandez. She is holding her small baby bump. They are expecting their first in September.

Dave is standing beside Stevie, looking awkward and out of place. His fingers twitch until Stevie grabs his hands in her own and sets her chin on top of his head. His face goes from a light beige to a maroon color.

Marissa and Melony stand close to Bobby, clinging to his legs.

I smile softly at them. "Hey, guys," I say.

Dustin and Kate are the first to move towards me. He pulls back the blanket to see me and gasps.

"Dude! What happened to your leg?!" Dustin asks, shocked.

Kate moves away so Donnie and Terra don't see my missing leg. This causes Dave, Austin, and Bobby to surge forward. The ladies hang back, not wanting to see anything.

"What the hell happened to you?" Bobby asks.

I glance at Chloe, knowing she knows the answer.

She steps beside me and says, "He has osteosarcoma, bone cancer. It was in his leg and they had to amputate it."

Dave looks at her. "About how much do those types of surgeries cost?" He asks.

Chloe thinks for a moment. "About $12,650 (I honestly don't know how much they cost, so I guessed. If you know the real cost of it, comment. Thanks)," she replies. "I can pay for it, so you guys don't have to worry about it."

The Clan laughs. I let a small smile slide onto my lips. Chloe looks at the Clan, confused. She glanced at me.

"What did I say that was so funny?" She asks.

"You offered to pay for me," I reply simply.

"Yeah, and?" She asks.

"I can support about 12 people on my own. I think I can pay for this," I say with a smirk.

Her cheeks flush red.

Dustin pats my shoulder. "Get well soon, Boss," he says.

The others echo him. I smile at them.

These people are my family, literally. I took them all in. I took care of them. I helped them become who they are today.

Especially Chad. I took him in when his family was murdered. He and I are adoptive brothers. He's my right hand man for everything. I'm glad he's my best friend and brother.

Austin gently pats my shoulder. "Be careful, brother," he says, tenderness oozing from his voice.

I look around. "Where's Joey?" I ask, panic rising up like bile in my throat.

Everyone stiffens and surges for the door until Chloe speaks.

"He's in his room resting. He passed out and Bobby helped me out."

I sigh in relief.

The boys whisper something to their girlfriends. The girls scoop up their little ones.

Chase starts crying. "I wanna hug Aly!"

Donnie and Terra begin squirming around in Kate's arms, screaming loudly.

Marissa and Melony run over to me and struggle to get onto the bed. Chase follows them quickly.

Chloe helps them onto the bed. I wrap my arms around them and hug them close, placing small kisses on their heads.

The kids climb off the bed and run to their family, ready to leave. I smile at them as they leave.

Chloe comes over to me and sits onto the bed. "You doing ok?"

I nod and close my eyes, leaning back.

BANG!

The door slams open, startling both of us. In struts the crazy blonde from earlier. Brittany, I think her name is? Anyways, she looks at my mate, a hateful smirk adorning her ugly, plastic face.

"Hey, slut, guess who I saw in the halls?" She asks.

Chloe looks around, then looks back at Brittany. "Were you speaking to me? Because I don't see any sluts here except for you," she replies.

Brittany rolls her eyes. "I saw your playboy, Zack Garrison," she says.
