//you and i\\

seventeen☆

I wake up in a dark, gloomy room alone. I try and sit up but I can't. "HELLO??" I scream. Someone comes running down the stairs. "Becca, you're up!" Helda exclaims. "What happened and where am I?"

Helda sighs. "After you were shot, you passed out. L took you to here. This is  another room in the basement. And don't worry you're going to be alright. We'll have L take a look at you." I sigh.

After about an hour of sitting here L comes walking into the room. "How are you feeling?" he asked. "I'm fine" I said plainly. "Damn I was just asking." I sigh. "Sorry."

"It's fine." He goes over to me and examines my shoulder. He moves my shirt sleeve out of the way taking a closer look at the bullet wound. "That's pretty deep so it's going to hurt really bad." L said crossing his arms. "I'll live, I'm sure I've been through worse." I said calmly. "You're going to have to remove your shirt." He says plainly. I carefully try and remove my shirt but I feel pain. "OW"

I sigh and plump my head on the pillow I was originally laying on. "I swear I'm so worthless." L laughs and I turn over to him. "Why are you laughing?" "Just because you got your shoulder shot doesn't make you worthless." I start tearing up. "It's not just that. My whole fucking life is falling apart L. I never have met my mom yet and almost 18. I'm separated from my brother. And don't even get me started on my dad." I start crying hardly. "It's okay." L says sitting down on the bed I'm laying on. "How would you know." I say. "You don't know anything about me sweetheart." I sigh and pass out again.

I wake up in pain. I feel cold and I look next to me, L taking the bullet out. "Good morning to you princess." I grunt. "I said don't call me that." "Fine." He says. He takes a tweezer thingy and takes out the bullet and I scream loudly with pain.

"Shh." He says calmly. I quiet down as he puts the bullet on the metal tray. "I'm almost done I promise." After a while of sitting here in pain letting L close up my wound it's finally dark out. "Thank you L. I really do appreciate it." "It's fine I guess." I smile slightly and he walks out. "Goodnight." He says turning the light out. "Goodnight L."

It's the next morning and it's Sunday. I happen to think about it but I haven't done any of my homework. L walks in and checks out my shoulder. "It looks okay for now but I just wouldn't use it for at least a couple weeks." I sigh. "Okay."

"And can I ask what you did to your arms?" I gulp as he points to the cuts on my arms. "There's things you don't know about me either." He sighs. "Fine. Helda is making breakfast upstairs so let me go get you a change of clothes and we can head up." I yawn and try getting out of bed. "No you need to stay here."

"Fine." I say and he walks out of the room to go fetch me some clothes. I roll over and check my phone. I have one missed call from Jenny from 10 minutes ago. I call her back quickly and let the phone ring. "Becca you can not do that! You forgot to text me that you were going to bed and you didn't answer my call this morning!" I sigh. "I'm sorry a lot has been going on the past few hours." I yawn. "What do you mean? Is something wrong? What happened last night when you hung up? Are you okay? And what happened to the man?"

"I'm safe, for the most part. L protected me." She coos into the phone. "Can you guys date already?" I laugh. "Absolutely not." She giggles. "I'm calling it you guys are gonna fall in loveeee." I hear the door being open. "I gotta go Jen." "Is it your boyfriendddd?" Jen says giggling. "Shut up!" I say hanging up. "Who was that Ms. Cranky?" L says putting the clothes on my bed. "Jenny"

I have L take my shirt off and slip on the blue striped shirt he grabbed for me. I slip off the Nike shorts I was wearing and have L help me slip on the pair of dark ripped jeans.

He and I head upstairs to where Helda was cooking. "Good morning love, how are you feeling?"  She says smiling. "In a little pain but I'll be fine." I smile. Helda hands me a plate full of food-a bagel, eggs, waffles and a cup of orange juice. "I appreciate it Helda." I say and head my way over to a table.

Kaelyn sits down next to me. "Hey, what happened to your shoulder? I heard a shooting last night are you okay?" I sigh. "Yeah, someone shot my shoulder, it isn't that big of a deal." She gives me a tiny hug. "It is a big deal. It may not be to you, but it is to me." "I know" I say softly. "Has it already been taken care of?" I nod. "L took care of it." "Oh alright. Are you doing anything today? I was going to go the beach but I didn't want to go by myself." I sigh.

"Maybe another time. I just want to take a day off and relax. I've been through quite a lot this past week. And plus I've got home work and projects to finish, they're due by tomorrow. I'm just so stressed there's no way I'm going to finish." She smiles. "You're a really smart person Becca. I know you will finish but do you need help with any of it?" I shrug. "Probably. I'm going to start when I get back upstairs but I'll call you if I need anything alright?" She smiles. "Okay. Take care if that shoulder!" She says. "I will."

I head back to where Helda is and give her the empty plate. "You must've been hungry!" I laugh. "Yeah I haven't ate in a while." She smiles. "Glad to see you okay Becca." I smile and head upstairs to my room.
