How We Met

Chapter 12

I woke up and growled. Still at the stupid Autobot base. I sat up and bit my lip as I felt one of my bones crack. It wasn't a good crack. Ratchet walked over and reached out to help me.

"DON'T TOUCH ME!", I growled as Optimus walked in.

"Roseanne, please. Let me help you.", Ratchet said.

"WHAT FUCKING PART OF DON'T TOUCH ME DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?! I DON'T NEED YOUR FUCKING HELP!", I yelled.

A white car pulled in and a woman that looked kind of like Jack got out. Jack walked over to her.

"Mom, now's a really bad time.", Jack said as I attempted to stand, my eyes widened.

"YOU FUCKING BASTARDS! I'M PARALYZED BECAUSE OF YOU!", I snapped.

"Roseanne, you are upset, we understand that. However, it was Megatron that-", I growled dangerously low.

"Don't blame Megatron!", I yelled, "He's not the one that allowed me to get kidnapped in the first place! Megatron fucking saved me!"

"He didn't save you! Don't you get it?! Megatron set this whole thing up! Your capture was Megatron's idea. Everything was his idea.", Ratchet snapped.

"Are you fucking trying to fight with me?! Get your ass over here, I'll fucking fight.", I growled.

Optimus held Ratchet back so he wouldn't squish me.

"What's all the racket about?", Arcee asked sleepily, I glared at her.

"Roseanne?", I turned to face Jack's mom, "I'm June Darby, Jack's mother. I work at the hospital in town."

"And?", I asked, knowing there was more.

"If you are willing to go, I can take you to the hospital so we can figure out why you are paralyzed.", June offered.

"Why not? It's better than being stuck here with these Autobots.", I hissed.

Jack came up the stairs and picked me up bridal style. I didn't protest. After all, Jack, Miko, and Raf helped Megatron save me. Even though Raf was in charge of the ground bridge, he still helped. Jack got me in the back seat of his mom's car. June got in the drivers seat and Jack went over to the passenger side after closing my door.

When he got in, we left. The car ride was silent until we were almost to the hospital.

"Roseanne, if you don't mind me asking, why are you so angry at the Autobots?", June asked, I narrowed my eyes.

"They took me away from my family. My father, my boyfriend, everyone.....and they don't even care. They think they rescued me from them. Truth is, they made my life worse. I left my mother and sister two months ago to be with my father, which is when I met my boyfriend. When I got captured by Starscream, my boyfriend saved me. Though, that didn't matter to Optimus. I'm not allowed to see anyone of my family members. Though, my father isn't my real father, he's still treats me like his daughter. Laserbeak is like a brother to me.", I explained, "That's why I hate them so much. They took everything away."

"Your family is the Decepticons?", June asked, I nodded.

"My boyfriend is too. He used to be a gladiator, like my father.", I said and we pulled into a parking spot.

"Who is who?", June asked as she got out.

"Soundwave is my father, Megatron is my boyfriend, well fake boyfriend.", I said, "I still care about him though."

Jack helped me out and they brought me inside. Something told me, I'd be stuck here for a while. When we got inside, Jack set me down in a wheelchair. I let Jack and June walk ahead of me before I wheeled myself over. When the nurse came, I followed her to the room, Jack and June were walking behind me.

We made it to the room and blah, blah, blah, yadda, yadda, yadda. To sum it all up, my spine is broken just above my hips. So, I am permanently in a wheelchair. Unless, I have surgery done and get a replacement for the broken part. We left the hospital after I bought a wheelchair to have for the rest of my life.

"Where do you want me to drop you off?", June asked.

"This address. It's the only place I have family here in town. Everyone else is out of state.", I said.

June started driving towards my mom's house. Maybe, just maybe, she will let me sleep in the tent outside. June pulled up next to the driveway.

"June, would you mind staying here? I don't know if I will be able to stay.", I asked, June nodded.

Jack helped me into my wheelchair and brought me up to the house. I stared at the new car that was in the driveway. Who was here? My mom opened the door and came outside.

"What happened to you?!", she asked.

"Well, to sum it all up, I can't see my adoptive dad or my boyfriend thanks to my new friends. I got kidnapped by this human and ended up getting paralyzed. So, yeah. I hope your happy.", I stated, "I'm only here because I need a place to crash for the night."

"Roseanne, you walked out. Why didn't you call and tell your mother that you were injured?", mom asked, gesturing to herself.

"Because, Ashley, you're not my mother.", I growled.

"You're right, I'm not. But I adopted you. I gave you a place to live. I fed you. He did nothing.", mom said and handed me something, "That's from your father."

"Well, he did something. He gave me life and brought me to a home instead of some orphanage. To me, that's a lot more than you have done.", I snapped.

She shut the door and I sighed.

"Um, you can stay with mom and I. We've got plenty of space.", Jack said, I smiled.

"Thank you, Jack.", Jack nodded and brought me back to the car.

June was confused when Jack helped me back in, "What happened?"

"I just found out she's been lying to me my whole life. I'm adopted. Apparently, my real father gave this to her.", I gestured to the present in my lap, "I'll open it later. Oh! Is it alright if I stay with you and Jack? At least until I find my father?"

"Yes, that's fine. We are happy to give you some shelter.", June smiled.

"Thank you.", I smiled back.

With that, June left and got back on the road. We were going home. I was going home.
