FOURTEEN+

Levi wakes up with a pounding head. Opening his eyes he realizes he’s back in Rose’s motel room. How did he get back here? Gripping his throbbing head he feels soft gauze wrapped across his forehead.

What the fuck happened?

The room is dark around him but he can just make out the shape of Rose asleep beside him, her hand on her his bare chest. When he stirs her hand twitches but otherwise she appears to be dead asleep. Her hair is damp and twisted the seaweed on the pillow while she only wears an oversized white t-shirt with the motel comforter covering the rest of her.

She looks perfect; Levi thinks with a small smile but is distracted from his staring by the pounding in his head again. Seriously, why the hell is his head pounding like this? Then it all came back to him. The visit, the fight and finally the voice of his mom saying something before he fell unconscious, all of it comes back to him in that instant.

“Go back to bed, Levi.” Rose mumbles absently.

“What happened?” He asks.

She sighs but doesn’t open her eyes, “I killed her.”

“What?”

“I killed her now go back to sleep.”

“You killed my mom?” He whispers hoarsely, “Why?”

Rose scowls and snaps her eyes open. Sitting up on her elbows she runs a hand through her hair before making her scowl more intense. “She hit you over the head with a candlestick, Levi. She always tried to beat me to death with it. What did you expect me to do? Have a tea party with her?”

Levi looks her over quickly, “Did she hit you?”

“No.” Rose snorts, “I’m faster then some half drunk crazy woman.”

He swallows thickly and closes his eyes before asking, “How?”

“You don’t want to know.”

“Why not?”

She sighs and drops her head into her hands, “Because you just don’t.”

“I can handle it.” He nearly growls.

She rolls her eyes and groans before rolling onto her back. Levi tries really hard to stay focused but it’s hard when the sheet slips a bit to show his girlfriend’s bare chest. He wants to kiss, lick and touch the exposed skin but he holds himself back knowing he needs to know.

“Are you sure you want to talk about this, Levi?” She nearly purrs, “We could be doing something much more constructive.”

Levi clear his throat and shakes his head once again closing his eyes, “No. I need to know what happened.”

“Fine.” Rose huffs, “Well after her clumsy attempt I trapped her in your house. She passed out so I used some steel rope I have in my backpack and tied her to a dining room chair in the living room. I found you bleeding from your head on your bedroom floor and pulled you out of the house and into the car. You were pretty out of it so I just laid you in the back. I tore bits of your shirt off and wrapped it around your head to help stop the bleeding.

I gave your mom an injection to keep her unconscious for a bit longer because I had more things to do before I could continue. I keep some things like that on me, you know just in case. Then I drove you back here, dressed your wound quickly, went back to where we put the boys and picked the one who was closest to your body type. He was pretty gross since I had melted him a bit with the acid I used on the bodies but I guess it was just the best option.
