Too Late

Too Late Part 9.5

He didn't know what to do.

There were so many marks. So many bruises that covered her perfect skin.

No, not my Sang Baby, North thought.

This couldn't have happened, not to her. Not while they were the ones in charge of protecting her. He felt like he was transported back in time when he was on Sang's roof, when he was examining her knees after she had knelt in rice. He promised her they would help, he had vowed to protect her. But he failed.

How the fuck did this happened?

When he opened her robe he wasn't expecting anything so horrible. Hell, he didn't know what to expect at all, but definitely not this. A thousand questions racked his mind as he continued to take in the damage. He knew one of the guys didn't do this, none of them could ever hurt Sang like this. It had to be someone else. But who?

The question would have to wait, North noticed Sang growing increasingly anxious. He didn't want her anxious, or sad, or embarrassed, or anything. Not right now with him, he wanted her to feel safe.

I've already failed her enough.

He needed to make a move, she couldn't hide this anymore.

"Victor?" North called, he hoped Victor wouldn't make things worse.

Thankfully Victor was shocked into silence, "Call Dr. Green."

Victor whipped his cellphone out in a flash and red lined to Dr. Green. North threw his keys at him, "Go start the car, we'll be down in a second."

North turned to Sang as she continued to stand in her spot, still as a rod.

"Were gonna take you to see Dr. Green okay?" She nodded slowly but didn't say a word.

North grabbed some pajama pants and a large t-shirt for her to put on, he wanted her to be as comfortable as possible. Sang continued to keep still but stared at North, it was like she couldn't move.

Maybe she's breaking down, he didn't know all he knew was he had to help her.

After grabbing the clothes he turned around and saw her back. What he saw he saw took his breath away. A mix of bites, bruises, hand prints, and small fingernail marks encompassed her back. But what stood out to him was a deep angry purple bruise that stretched across her back under her shoulder blades. Someone had hit her with something from behind. North had never felt such a high mix of anger and sadness.

He swiftly moved to Sang's front and helped her into the t-shirt and pajama pants. He wanted to touch her but was unsure how. Suddenly he felt Sang's hand cupping the side of his face. He leaned into her hand and moved his own around it and closed his eyes.

"Don't cry North" she whispered so softly, he wasn't sure if she even said it.

North hadn't even realized that a few tears had escaped until she began wiping them away. He smiled at her.

"Sang Baby you should be the one crying, not me. I'm fine, we need to get going."

He started to move with her but she stopped, "I'm sorry North"

His breath caught, she had nothing to be sorry for. If anything he thought he should be the one apologizing. He turned to her, "Sang listen-" a car horn cut him off. Victor was waiting, they needed to go. He was being selfish, Sang needed to be seen by Dr. Green. That's what was best for her right now. Instead of finishing his sentence he decided to pick her up bridal style and carry her to the car.

She needed help, that was all that mattered. The rest would have to wait.

A/N: So slight mistake on my part I absolutely meant to post this with the last chapter and didn't realize it until I was able to get online today, so thus a 9.5 chapter. Since I'm kinda busy this week I'll try my best to get updates out as fast as possible when I have an hour or so. I hope you guys enjoy seeing a little of what North is thinking.

Thanks everyone for all the support!
