House Valentine (GxG)

Chapter 12

We pulled into the hospital's parking lot and charged through the front doors. Mike sat outside one of the rooms, he waved us over when he saw us.

   "Is she alright?" Bailey asked.

   Mike looked at the floor. "She'll live, but she hit her head on a table when she fell, knocked her right out."

   Bailey gave him a sad look. "Can we see her?"

   "The police are talking to her now. But, once they leave the doctor said we could talk to her."

   So, we all quietly took seats and waited for the police to leave...

   When they finally walked out, Bailey and Mike walked in, closing the door behind them.

   I pulled the cops off to the side. "What happened?"

   "Well, she went by his house because he stopped showing up to counseling. She was only looking out for him." One cop replied.

   I clenched my fists. "That bastard... what gives him the right?"

   Rebecca rubbed my back.

   "Don't worry yourself, ma'am, we're gonna find him." The other cop said.

   'Not if I find him first.' I thought.

   After the cops left, Rebecca turned to me. "What're you thinking?" She asked, a worried expression on her face.

   "I'm thinking I wanna punch a hole through his face."

   Before she could answer, the door opened and Mike stepped out. "She wants to talk to you, Skylar."

   I sighed and walked in, passing a tear-y eyed Bailey on the way. She closed the door on her way out.

   I looked at Heather, there was a bandage around her head and her right eye was swollen and purple.

   I felt more anger start to well up in my stomach.

   "Take a seat." She said.

   I sat down in the chair next to her bed.

   "Skylar, I haven't known you long. But, I know you have a problem with John and I want you to promise me you'll let the cops handle this."

   I shook my head. "Im sorry, Heather, I can't do that, not after all the shit he's pulled."

   She sighed. "Well then, I guess the only thing I can say is... give him hell."

   I gave her a small smile. "Sure thing, Heather."

   She returned my smile and waved me off.

   When I walked out, Rebecca, Bailey, and Mike stood in front of me.

   "What's the plan?" Bailey asked.

   "Give him hell." I replied.

   Mike crossed his arms over his chest. "I'm in."

   We looked at him.

   "Are you sure?" Bailey asked.

   "Heather is like a sister to me... and nobody fucks with my family." He replied.

   I patted his shoulder. "I'm glad you're on our side."

   After leaving the hospital, we headed back to Twist to devise a plan...

   "How is she?" Blake asked.

   "She'll be alright, the concussion looks minor." I replied.
