Wreckless

Chapter 22

Getting out of bed this morning was hard and I refused to feel the cold. I laid in bed for the rest of the morning thinking over the scene that happened last night and I can feel the hair on my body tingle at the thought of him. On the corner of my eye I spot a panadol and sparkling water with a little note attached to the end.

Until next time lady. I won't spare you - Z

I felt my breath hitch at the thought of seeing him again and I quickly left my father's house and quickly drove home. I parked in my usual spot and my mother ran out the elevator engulfing me in a hug.

"Oh my I was so worried. Are you okay?" She moved my face from side to side seeing if I had any scar. I am still not used to my mother being caring like this and I hesitantly hug back living this moment until Lucas came and ruined the moment.

"Cece, there's an emergency". He sounded so frustrated and I could hear the panic in his voice. I looked over him and I could tell he hadn't had any sleep due to the dark bags under his eyes. His bloodshot eyes gave me a feeling that this was not a time to be screwing around. I let go of my mother and followed behind him silently.

He held the door for me to enter. He led me inside my office shutting the door behind him. He sat on the couch staring into space. He looked so restless and tense making me feel a bit uncomfortable. The awkward silence was too much so I was just about to speak until he interrupted.

"The company was attacked last night while you were out."

The words ran throughout my head and I felt my hands clench and it was met with a cold polished oak wood desk. I brushed the tingles that went up my arm. I looked towards him and I can tell he was not playing around with me. Lucas never talks about The Opaque Industry unless it was something serious.

"What happened to Marcus? Does he know about this?"

My heart was beating so fast even I couldn't keep up with it. I felt something was wrong and I did not want to assume the worse. I patiently waited for him to speak but he seemed so hesitant.

"He...uh he... he tried to stop them. Marcus was stabbed multiple times when he fought the intruders and he is in a critical condition. For now he is in a coma and the doctors are trying there best to help him."

I feel like something in me break and I looked towards him and he had a tear slip his eye. Oh I forgot to mention that Lucas is Marcus's younger brother. Lucas use to come around Marcus's house when I was younger. Lucas wanted to stay by Marcus so my Dad offered Lucas a job when he turned 18. My Dad paid for everything and bought them a house 20mins drive from here.

I couldn't take it anymore so I walked towards him and hugged him, wiping his tears away. It hurt seeing him like this and I just clicked that Gwen and Hannah might be at the hospital right now.

I took his hand and led him into one of the bottom guest rooms. I pushed the door open to be welcomed with a smell of vanilla and wood pine. I dragged him to the bed taking his shirt off. He didn't hesitate to take his pants off leaving him in his briefs and I chuckled at the sight.

I pulled the duvet off the bed and pushed him onto the bed. I tucked him into bed and swiped his fly away hair. As soon as he was comfortable I heard soft snores and I smiled at how peaceful he looked.

I quietly walked out of his room walking to my room. My room remained the same as I left it. I walked into the bathroom and ran a hot bath. I stripped out of my clothes and settled into the steaming bath and I felt the heat sinking into my skin. I felt my muscles easing and I took the time to think of all shit that has been happening. 

I try to close my eyes but I see his stormy eyes staring back at me and I quickly get out of the bath wrapping myself in a bath robe. I walk out into my walk in closet and settle on something comfy. I wore my grey sweat pants and a black hoodie with my white air forces. 

I headed towards the kitchen grabbing an apple walking out the door and I make a quick phone call putting my helmet on. I jumped onto my black triumph Daytona 955I hearing the sound of the beauty roar. I sped out to the streets and it took a good 30mins to get to the building. 

I hopped off walking into the building and I was welcomed with the smell of death and depression. I walked to the front desk and there sat a average lady in her late thirties. She didn't even smile when I greeted her and she bluntly ignored me.

"Hello, I'm here to see Marcus." 

She huffed in irritation glaring at her computer annoyed. She typed away on the keyboard taking her sweet time to reply.

"Family only." She snapped and I looked for her name tag and saw it near her  hair. Mrs Jane. I tried to calm myself down not wanting to start a fight. She looked at me arching her eyebrow getting really agitated with my presence. 

I narrowed my eyes carefully studying her. My brain and body disconnected and I heard my fist collide with the counter and she flinched at the sound. I felt like fire was coming out of my eyes and my body was getting tense.

"I am his finance supporter. Show me his fucking room or you will be happy that your in the hospital because I'll fucken make sure you never walk again."

She hesitated and got out from behind the desk and took me down the hall in a hidden door where there was staircase. I followed patiently behind her and we entered inside a room that led to a theater room. Inside was doctors working a surgery. We walked past them and into a hallway, turning left into a fancy looking room. 

Inside the room layed Marcus with multiple wires hooked onto him and his body covered in bandages and casts. On the side I saw his wife sleeping peacefully beside him with a tear stained face. Excusing the lady away I walked slowly towards Marcus and I can barely see him underneath all his blankets and move it slightly down so he can breathe a bit better. 

I sat on the love seat angry with myself. This was all my fault. I should've left went home and Marcus wouldn't be hurt right now. I looked at him and his wife together and I made a promise.

Whoever done this to you, Marcus. They will not be spared. I will show no mercy. I will also avenge my father even if it costs my life. For God is looking down at me right now this is my promise to you Marcus. I will kill them all.
