Taste of Poison

Chapter Sixteen: Hospital Break

Have you ever wished for death/ And prayed all night for your last breath/ Have you ever wanted to forget the feeling of your dreams/ Because I never feel wanted/ And I never feel needed/ And I'll never be happy - Love Falls by Hellyeah

GARRET

Shit. Fucking Rock is in the hospital. There's no doubt that there's cops watching his every move now.

I'm sending Scout there to see what's going on. I need a layout of what I need to do to get Rock out of there. I need her to find out when the cops walk away and when they take breaks. I need her to let Rock in on what's going on.

I'm flipping my shit though. Pia is already fucking talking. I know she is because there's cops everywhere. They must know.

It won't be long till they come after me.

My eyes narrow. We need to bust Rock out of that hospital. If we bust him out, that would be the perfect time to go after Pia and kill her.

The blame will go on Rock. I just need to round up some boys to get him out of that hospital.

My eyes narrow. I understand that if I do this, it will put a lot of attention on us, but I'm getting out of here.

I told Scout that if she does this, she can kill Pia. The bitch is so strung up on drugs, she will do really anything right about now. I'll let her go wild while I get out of town. I'm not going to prison. Fuck that. I'll let Scout go for me.

I'm getting out of here no matter what.

That's the plan I have though. Get Rock out of prison, Scout kills Pia, blame is put on Rock, Rock goes to prison, and I don't give a give what happens to Scout. She can go kill herself for all I care. 

PIA

My eyes widen. "That's everything he's in trouble for?" I ask Josiah in shock. He told me all the things he was in trouble for, but there was one thing that sort of stood out in my mind: statutory rape. "He had my consent..." I say quietly.

He looks at me with a frown. "Are you sure about that? What about the first time? Or did he have to threaten you or someone you care about for you to have sex with him?"

I glare at Josiah coldly when I realized that part was true. He did threaten me at first, but I think that's all void since the other times I didn't need a whole lot of convincing.

I feel like a whore. I feel like Josiah is judging me, and it is sort of irritating.

"You said you would help him," I growl. "You said you would put him in a hospital for his issues."

Josiah sighs. "I'll help as much as I can, Pia. I know you want him to get some mental help, but I'm only one person. The rest of us at the station don't think the same way as you do."

My eyes narrow as I glare at him coldly. "You better help him, Josiah. I fucking swear. We made a deal, and you better do your fucking part. That's the only reason why I even said anything. Don't make me regret it."

He nods as he keeps on driving. "I will do my best, Pia. I promise."

I don't doubt Josiah, but I know he doesn't like him. I'll regret it if I don't get him any help. I will regret it if I don't try. He just better not go back on his word. I'm so torn right now, I really don't know what to do.
