Hope you like and please comment and vote. That picture up there is to give you a visual of what her thigh looks like. I know nasty right? *~ ~* *~ My eyes start to flutter open and I see all white. Wait... white? Where am I? I start to freak out and sit up quickly but when I do I hiss out in pain as my body aches. Somebody sits up from there sleep and I see it's Jamie. When I see him I push the pain away and hug him tight and he does the same.
"The plan went far downhill but your dad is locked away and your alive. I knew you would be alright." He whispered in my ear. Wait I remember him saying he... loves me. I pull away and stare at him in his eyes. "Happy birthday Dakota" Jamie kisses my forehead and I look at him in confusion.
"Wait i have been here for 4 days? Is everyone doing ok?" He looks at me and nods, I let out a breath of relief that everyone is ok, but 4 days i probably missed so much. I take that time to see how I'm doing, I look down to see my arms covered in bandages and I have bruises, cuts, and scars everywhere. Thank God my cuts are covered so he doesn't see them because that would be hell a lecture from him, doctors, and his family. He walks over to me with a box in his hands. He hands the box to me an I am so close to crying at what I see inside of this box.

I start to tear up but Jamie wiped my tears. My mom got me this necklace before she died but dad took it from me. "I found it at your dads and it was a little destroyed so i fixed it for you. I thought it was important to you, so I save it." I hug Jamie tightly and groan in pain. What the fuck! Why does it hurt so much, Jamie let's go off me and pulls up my hospital gown to see what's wrong and once he does he lets out a big gasp.
I look down to see what is wrong and all I see is a giant bruise with stitches going down my thigh. I gasp out loud too and Jamie takes my hand as I keep hissing in pain. Yup, I broke one of my stitches and it hurts like hell. Jamie calls for a doctor and two come rushing in to help me. They give me something to make me numb and start working on the stitches again. It still stings a little because of how big the bruise around it is. After about 15 minutes they finish redoing it and tell me not to move to much because I have more stitches around my body and I could easily break those too. I end up going to sleep a little bit after that with Jamie sitting in the visitor chair. The last thing I could think of was what did Jamie mean when he said I love you? Did he mean as an almost sister or not?
Jamies POV
I watch the doctors closely making sure they don't hurt Dakota to much. I can hear soft whimpers coming from her but it is probably because of how big her injuries are. I can't believe he would try to hurt her so much that she almost died, I couldn't tell her but she literally almost died. What happened to her mother too? I watch TV as Dakota slowly falls asleep and her soft snores.
But all of a sudden I hear whimpers coming from her and she is slightly tossing and turning. What is going on? I walk over to the bed and take her hand in mine before climbing into the bed next to her to make sure I know she's safe. She quickly stops the whimpering and snuggles into my side by laying her head on my chest and having her arm spread out across me. This is actually a comfortable position. Wait wtf I can't be talking like that. I put my arm behind my head because it's comfortable and watch the TV till I fall asleep. I don't know why but I already feel like I can't leave Dakota's side to make sure she is always safe.
Dakota's POV
I wake up with my head on something hard and rising. I look up to see a sleeping Jamie an I am snuggled next to him. I sit up and feel the pain in my thigh I look down to see it is still dark colors. But wait he stayed with me all night again? I feel him moving a little next to me and see he is starting to wake up. I grab the remote and turn a different channel on while Jamie sits up. "Good morning sunshine." I say to him as he tries to adjust his eyes to the sunlight shining through the windows.
"Good morning how long were you up for?" I shrugged and told him only about like five minutes and he nodded and lay his back against the wall. "What time is it?"
"10:37 and why were you sleeping next to me?" He looks over to me and lays his head against the wall.
"One because that chair is uncomfortable and two because you were having a bad dream so I decided to make sure you were ok. When I layed down next to me you stopped whimpering and you snuggled up to me." He says scratching the back of his neck. I lay back down and Jamie layed down again to.
"Im gonna tell you something but you better not tell anyone because it's embarrassing that it was in my dream." He nods and begs me to tell him. "Ok, ok, so yesterday I had a dream about you last night." He looked at me with a smirk so I flicked him in the head. "Not like that you idiot. At first my dream was my mother dying and my father beating me again and I was scared but than all of a sudden you showed up and took me away from the beating and the heart break. You were there for me and you always were from there on after. And then when I woke up I realised the only reason why I had that part of the dream was because when I was sleeping next to you I felt safe just like I did in my dream when you were always there for me." I looked over at him an he had a smile on his face and he hugged me making sure not to hurt me though. "Promise you won't leave me once I decide to tell you the whole story one day? Because I have been rejected by 47 families and I want this to be my last family." I said trying not to cry.
"Dakota..." He grabs my cheeks and faces my head towards him. "I promise I will never ever leave you. I care about you to much to let you go." He takes me into his arms as I start to let out the rest of the hurt that was haunting me. After awhile I start to calm down while Jamie is still holding me in his arms soothing me and quieting me down. I lay my head in the crook of his neck and he holds me close to him.
"You know you are the first person I have ever cried to in 7 years? I usually cry before bed. He pulls his head away and looks at me in the eyes telling me he is happy to hear that he is the first in years.
"I'm glad but now you have me so if you are having a problem or need a shoulder to cry on, you can always come to me." I smile at him telling him I approve to that idea and he smiles back.
"Thank you even though I don't deserve this." He lifts my chin an kisses my forehead.
"Don't say that. You deserve the world, but I can't really pick that up sooooo...." I chuckle a little at his cheesy excuse of a sentence and I snuggle back up to him. He is the bestest friend I have ever had. He is the perfect person to make me not feel pain anymore and I love him for that. Wait.... What? *~ ~* *~ Thanks for reading and please vote. I know that top picture is pretty gross but I was just trying to give out a visual of what it would look like. Hope you enjoyed. Bye 👋!
