Chapter 14.

Alida's POV

I woke up alone as usual. This girl really doesn't know when to sit still. I'm still in a lot of pain but I don't want anyone to worry, it gets annoying after everyone keeps asking the same question. I'm actually getting kinda hungry, the last thing I ate was that drugged up food. I pressed the nurse button and patiently waited for a nurse to come in. 5 minutes passed so I pressed the button again. 10 minutes later I pressed the button again....and again...and again. At this point I was getting annoyed, what kind of hospital doesn't have any nurses available at all? I gave up on calling for a nurse, I'll just go look for food myself. I slowly got up from the bed and held on to the IV pole, I took a few steps and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I started to move further until I was half way to the door. I was about to take another step when my legs gave out on me and I started to fall. I braved myself for the impacted of the cold floor that never came. I looked up and saw Alex who shook her head.

"I always come at the right time." I rolled my eyes and let her help me back into the bed.

"What were you trying to do?" She asked.

"I'm hungry."

"Why didn't you call a nurse?"

"I tried but no one came so I was going to go and find my own food." She nodded.

"Well luckily I left and got some egg sandwiches for us." She pointed to the bag on the floor.

"Thank you!!!" I said while attempting to give her the tightest hug in my state. She laughed and looked up at me.

"You're pretty strong for a crippled girl." I giggled and stared at her. I leaned in closer and I felt her stop breathing.

"Can I get that sandwich now?" I whispered in her ear.

"Y-yeah let me get it." She said with a shaky voice. She gave me the sandwich and pulled out hers. It was quite for a while until Alex broke the silence.

"So um, did you hear anything last night? Like after you fell asleep." I knew what she was talking about, at least I think I know. I could've been dreaming.

"No why?" I acted like I didn't know to see if she would say it again.

"Are you sure? I'm pretty sure you responded to what I said."

"I was probably sleep talking. What did you say?" She was quite for a second.

"I-never mind. It wasn't important." She looked down and started picking at her sandwich. This girl can nearly die for me but is too scared to show her feelings. Looks like I gotta be the brave one this time.

"Hey." She looked up and I quickly caught her lips with mine and she responded just as quick. I pulled away and looked at her.

"I didn't realize how much of a püssy you are." She rolled her eyes.

"You are what you eat." She smirked as I rolled my eyes this time. There was a knock at the door and shortly after a nurse came in.

"Good morning Ms. Santos how are you feeling?"

"Still have some pain but other than that I feel fine." The nurse nodded and she wrote some things down.

"Well I've got some good news. You get to go home today but you have to stay off your feet for a couple of weeks." She turned and looked at Alex. "You too Ms. Green you don't want to rip those stitches out." We both nodded and she left.

"I say we get some snacks and rent a movie tonight then since we're going home." I nodded and smiled. I'm happy all of this is over.

Alex's mom came later on and got me and Alex out of the hospital. They made me take some pain killers which are making me sleepy so I don't think I'm going to last long during that movie. We pulled into the driveway and Alex got out and tried to pick my up out the car but her mom stopped her.

"Not today Alex, you're still injured and I don't need you ripping out those stitches."

"Then who's going to take her out the car? She's half asleep." I felt myself being picked up but it wasn't Alex.

"You're my daughter remember. You get your strength from me." Her mom said. She was actually surprisingly strong, I didn't think she could lift me up.

"Get the stuff out the car for me while I put her in your room." I heard Alex sigh. After a while I felt the soft bed I got so used to sleeping in.

"You're safe now." I heard her mom say as she lightly ran her thumb across my forehead.

"Alright, I got to head back to work but watch her and yourself too. Call me if you need anything." I heard the door close and felt the bed dip.

"Can we watch a movie now?" I shook my head with my eyes still closed.

"I'm too tired to watch a movie now. But we still didn't finish our conversation from last night."

"What do you mean?"

"Alex don't play dumb. What did my father tell you."

"Well for one....he isn't your father." My eyes shot opened and I got up but regretted it after getting a sharp pain through my body.

"Relax Alida don't hurt yourself."

"What do you mean he's not my biological father?" Alex sighed and started telling me the whole story. My whole life was a lie. My mother is still alive and I don't even know if my biological father is alive and I could be fücking dead right now if my fake father didn't take me. I don't even know if it's safe to leave the house anymore.

"What happens now? Since my "father" is dead. Are they going to find me?"

"Well he said that you're mother went back to her husband crying and making him believe that you died so we should be safe. I mean nobody has tried to hurt you besides your "father."" I nodded but was still shocked about everything. Alex came closer and wiped my face as she held me. I didn't even realize I was crying, I guess this was just the breaking point of everything I've been holding in.

I felt safe in her arms like always so I started to drift off to sleep. I could never catch a break can I?

Unknown POV

"Boss, she's being discharged today." I smirked hearing such good news.

"And what's the status on our mistake of a worker?"

"He's dead sir."

"That's great to hear. Let's give the girl a break for a couple of weeks. You know, to recover, it would be boring if she couldn't run. But keep an eye on her and her little friend too."

"Yes boss, is that all."

"Yes, find someone to watch there every move." He nodded and walked away. I turned and looked at the picture of the girl I have with her mother when she was a baby. I turned the picture over and looked at the hand writing. Alida Santos 4.24.02.

"You will get what you deserve Alida."
