Mist Falls

Chapter 5: Jett POV

I watch as Mike finally gets Winter out from under the bed she scared the hell out of me when she disappeared under there like a crab she moved so fast, for a few seconds I stood there frozen trying to figure out what happened where did I go wrong?

I get down on all fours and beg her to breath her lips are turning blue and she shaking so hard her eyes shut tight I run to the intercom system that Phoenix had installed a couple of weeks ago and hit the button calling for Mike like a mad man.

And now she lying on the floor no tears but you can tell inside this small, brave girl there a river that has yet to flood over but it is just waiting. Her eyes flick to me and there is so much pain inside her eyes I almost fall to my knees after everything Mike and Fox told me about her, you would never believe this was the same girl.

My heart hurts for her, me and my twin both had a shit upbringing but nothing compared to this nothing compered to what happened to this girl I felt sick when I read the file this after noon, I don't think I could come back from something like that, I just hope she can.

In a second her face changes that cold look is back her eyes no longer give away the pain that lies inside her, she almost looks dead she so calm now it's scary how quick her walls came back up and she shut down, I tune back at as Mike says something about a shower.

"It was nice meeting you," Winter says as she passes me as if the last hour never happened as she disappears behind the bathroom door with a click of the lock.

"I'm sorry Mike one second she was fine and then," I shake my head as I look into the tried eyes of one of the only man I trust.

"No it's ok, she's well, she back," he says lifting his head toward the door as the shower starts.

"Why didn't you want her to shower?" I ask, as he eyes meet mine you can see a memory flash through them as he through me.

"The day she came home from the hospital, she said she was going for a shower, I had not slept in the week she had been awake, so I must have fallen asleep and when I woke up," he stops and takes a breath as he sits down on her bed, "She had been in there three hours, she turned the water up as high as it could go and scrubs her skin until it bleed and every time she has a bad flash back she does it again."

"God is that why you took her back to the hospital?" I ask before I can think, he rang us the day she came home and then later that night saying she had to go back for a few days but never said why.

"Yea she ripped open some of the wounds that had mostly healed on her legs," he sighs and takes a deep breath, "Listen go on I have to weight but you can go I will be down in a bit."

Before I can say no I see the pleading look in his begging me to give him five minutes I nod and leave the room shutting the door softly before heading to the living room where everyone else was watching movies.

"Well what happened?" my brother Jax says from his spot on the sofa.

I explain everything to them because I think they should know even getting to close and moving to fast could set the poor girl off and by the time I'm done I feel like I need a nap after telling them about why Mike is waiting for her there are a few swears and then we sit and weight.

I look around at the look of worry on my friends faces we all new Winter had more problems than Mikey could handle alone we had a family meeting and decided it would be best for her to start a fresh, when we told Mike he refused saying he couldn't ask us to that, we told we where happy to help.

I just hope we can help she is so lost, hurt and alone I just want to hold her tell her it will all be ok but no one can get near her apart from Mike, not even Fox, the look of hurt in his eyes when he told us she wouldn't even go near him and he had known her all her life.

I closed my eyes and lay my head back trying to think of ways to help Winter before nodding off.
