Kill or be killed

Wonderland

~ Two Days Later ~

There was a sound next to my ear. A rustling sound.
I slowly opened my eyes, I'm so damn tired.
My vision adjusted and I was looking at the
ceiling.

Veronica.
I quickly sit up looking to my side.

My jaw dropped when I saw Veronica with her eyes open. That wasn't the only part. She was taking the needle out of her hand and moving the wires.

"Veronica. What the fuck are you doing?".

She stopped and looked at me. "These wires are annoying me. You don't know how uncom- OW!"

She tired getting up but the pain was stopping her.
I put my hand behind her head and lifting the pillow up, so she can sit properly.

"Veronica.....how are you?"

She looked at me with a blank expression.
"I'm fine. I've been shot before, I think I can manage this"
I scoffed looking around.
Is she serious right now?
She's so hard to get.

"Yes you've been shot before but not like this. Where there is a 50% chance that you won't make it. 

Fuck sakes you didn't wake up for 2 days. Everyone was scared for you and here you are acting like a brat!"
I suddenly yelled.

She knotted her brows in disgust.
"If your gonna act like a dick. Leave. I've been through worse, and I've been able to handle myself and take care of myself all alone. You ain't no saint that's gonna protect me".
I poked the inside of my cheek with my tongue and looked down.

This was not supposed to happen

"I didn't come here to fight you. I'll get the doctor"
I said looking up at her fragile body.
Her face had a few bruises on it..
It made my heart clench, how she's hiding all this pain.

She looked out the window ignoring me.
I went outside and got the doctor.

Waiting outside, Christopher came in running. Nearly slipping he grabbed on my arm to keep his balance.
"Shit-fuck. Where is she?"
He asked in a hurry, standing up straight.

I ignored his question and looked at his hand on my arm, then back at him.
"Oh right-so. Where is she?"

He looks so happy.......I don't like it.
My lip twitched looking at him. 
His whole existence just bothers me.

"She's inside getting checked by the
doc- and he's gone"
I said throwing my hands up in the air.

I went and sat down, how am I going to tell her then Kevin is dead. She's gonna flip, and me and her aren't on the best terms.
I'll get someone else to do it.

After waiting Christopher came out laughing.
"What you laughing about?"

He carried on laughing. "Veronica is just so damn funny"
My face became a frown and I gave him a death stare which made him stop laughing.

"Veronica wants you inside"
We carried on making eye contact before I went inside.

My eyes landed on Veronicas beautiful soft ones, as she fixed her hair.

"Before you say anything. We need to get out of here because the police will be here for questions and it's just stupid for me to stay here"
She said really fast, which took me time to process.

"Ok, but how long did the doctor say you need to stay here".
She bit her lip and looked away.
"Like- you know...the usual around 4 more days.."
She said biting her lip and I stared at her blankly not amused.
