The Protector.

Chapter 3

          It hit me after lunch. I am basically homeless. And to be honest there is no way I'm staying at JC's house... I mean come on I'm not a whore. I was on auto pilot walking to my locker thinking about all this. When I got to my locker I didn't even realize it was time to go home. So I'm standing there basically rearranging my locker. Pointless. JC walks up behind me and startled me out of my thoughts. "Hey you okay? You ready to go to my place?" he whispered in my ear. "Oh um I don't think I can stay at your place." I said meekly. "What? Why not?!" he actually yelled at me. "I wasn't trying to make you mad but that's really fast JC." I murmured. "Bullshit this has to do with those guys!" He was still yelling. "What! Don't blame them they are just being nice!" Now I was mad. He had no right to blame them! "You know what! Fuck you I'm done." I yelled at him. "You obviously want to take things way to fast and your a dick." I said. "Good Bye." I started walking away when he yanked  me back. "We're not over till I say." He whispered in my ear full of anger. It felt like he was breaking me wrist and I started to cry. "Stop crying. God damn it Kinder just. STOP!" he was becoming violent he fucking slapped me. My face stung and he let me go and walked away. "I hope you know we're done." I yelled at him. "Whatever." He said and left. I sat there forever crying.. My arms were bruised from his hold and my face had a hand print on it. Why go anywhere? "Kinder?" I heard a familiar voice but I didn't look up. "Are you okay?" He was picking me up. "Kinder..?" when I finally looked up I saw Chase and Fallen behind him. "Oh my God." I heard Chase gasp. "What?" I muttered. "Y..y..your cheek..." He looked at it. "Who did that to you?" Fallen asked. "No body... I fell and it hit the floor really hard." I lied. "Your a terrible liar.." they both said in union. "Thanks." I whispered. I just wanted to sleep and pretend nothing happened until Fallen saw my wrists I was going to... "Kinder who did this?!" I could tell he was mad but I didn't notice how bad the bruises were till now.. they looked almost blue. "No body." I said quietly. "Tell me now!" Fallen made me jump and I felt Chase grip tighten on me. "Just let it go Fallen... she talk about it when she's ready." He said calmly. Fallen stormed off and punched something. "I'll kill that bastard." he was yelling and punching and going crazy. I felt more tears run down my face when I looked at the bruises. "Your okay.." Chase whispered. "I promise." He smiled a little and set me in the back seat. "Where are we going?" I was so out of it I could hardly talk. "My place." He leaned in to buckle me up and his lips brushed my ear. "It'll be okay." he whispered. I don't remember much after that because I passed out.

When I woke up I was in this totaled car. When did that happen I asked myself. I got out slowly and I saw JC and a bunch of other guys coming toward me. Someone had a bat. Next thing I know all I could think was run but I didn't move. Then the floor came rushing up to meet me. When I woke back up I was naked and bloody and bruised and basically beat up. Everywhere hurt. I was bleeding so much I couldn't get up but tree's where everywhere and I heard the faint hum of cars passing near by. I screamed for help, for somebody to help me but no one came. I was dying. I looked around for my phone and grabbed it when I found it. I called 911. "911 state your emergency." the operator said. "Help please help I don't know where I am and I think I'm dying from blood loss..." I gasped for air because it suddenly felt like I wasn't breathing. I couldn't get enough air and then the worst thing happened. My phone died. I screamed for help one last time. Then everything went black.

I heard sirens in the distance and somebody was holding my hand telling me it's okay. Help is coming. I tried to respond, I tried to open my eye's but I just couldn't, the more I tried the deeper into the darkness I went. Then everything vanished and I was somewhere else. I was warm again and clothed; all my bruises were gone. I thought I'm in heaven. Then I realized I wasn't ready to be there yet. Then everything came back in a rush.

I gasped for air and sat up just to be eased back down by a paramedic. They shined a light in my eyes and they were saying something but I could understand them. I saw someone else too. I knew them. But I couldn't remember their name. I was just so tired I gave back in and went to sleep.

I woke up in a hospital room. Their was 2 guys in their I knew but for some reason I couldn't come up with their names.  I went to sit up but it hurt so much I laid back down and groaned. "Kinder?" one of the guys asked me. He was quite handsome but you could tell he'd been crying and that he hadn't slept very well. "Hey.." I mumbled. "Chase she's up!" The guy exclaimed. "Ow." I moaned. "Oh sorry. Headache?" He whispered. Finally this Chase got up. "Thank God your okay." he smiled at me. He had a pretty smile. "Who are you guys again?" I asked quietly. Both of their faces fell and I saw the hurt in their eyes. "Be right back." The one who first saw I was awake left. "What's your name?" Chase asked. "Kinder Elizabeth Fireward." I mumbled. "Good, age?" Chase asked. "Fifteen as of yesterday." I closed my eyes feeling tired all of a sudden. "Who hurt you?" Chase asked and in that moment I clammed up. A nurse walked in. "She knows her name, age, and birth date." Chase said quietly. "Who am I?" Asked the cute guy who left. "Fallen." I gasped. "Yes?" Fallen's eyes lit up when I recognized him. "Thank you." I mumbled. "For?" he asked quietly. "Saving my life..." I closed my eyes for a few seconds and all of a sudden I was enveloped in darkness and nothing could reach me.
