Saved by the stranger- ch. fourteen 

Brett's pov:
"NOVA!!" I tackled her and made sure to protect her head while we both rolled out of the way and onto the grass on the other side. The car zoomed by showing no sign of stopping and in the middle of the day.

Are fucking they crazy?!

I quickly put my full attention on Nova and began to check on her for serous injuries. Thankfully there were none and only a few minor scrapes. I put my hands on her left wrist. "Nova, do you feel any pain when I put pressure on it?" She shook her head and I continued to go up that same arm. I was just lightly pressing on her left arm and then repeated the process on her right arm. "Did any of that hurt?" She again stayed silent and only shook her head.

She quickly stood up, only to let out a painful yelp and fell back down. "Nova?!" I looked at her worriedly, but looks away. "I'm fine.. just leave me alone already.." I grit my teeth. I put my hand under her jawline and made her look at me. "You know I'm not going to do that." Her eyes widen and she slowly nodded.

I pulled off her left shoe and she squirmed around trying not to cry out in pain. I looked up at her. "Are you ok?" She nodded and I put my attention back to her high knee sock. I began to slowly pull it down, being careful not to hurt her. I could tell something was off though. I looked up at her to see her all red in the face. "Nova? What's wrong? Are you running a fever?" I quickly put my hand on her head, making her face heat up more. She pushed my hand away. "I'm fine just focus on my foot please." I sigh and nod.

I got the top of the sock down to her ankle and I could see serious bruising already. I take the sock of making Nova cry out in pain. I looked up at her quickly to see her eyes full of tears. She looked like she was crying a river. I think quickly and wipe her tears away. "It'll be ok." She nods and I look at her now exposed foot. Her ankle was badly bruised and swollen. Nova gasped at the site and so I cover her eyes with one hand. "Don't look at it, idiot." She puffed her cheeks out and pouted. "Who are you calling idiot?!" I chuckled and just responded with "You" I took my hand away and saw she looked pissed now.

Her being pissed is like a Chihuahua being pissed. She's harmless. She sighed and looked up at the sky. "The park behind us. Can we go and sit on a bench?" She asked. I nod and was about to pick her up when all of a sudden she got jumpy. "What?" I asked bluntly. "You can't just pick a lady up without telling her first!" I laughed and picked her up bridal style anyways. "You a lady? Ha! Give me a break" she gasped and slapped my shoulder. "How dare you!" I snickered and walked into the park.

I set her down on a bench gently and then sat down myself. We eat there for awhile in silence until she spoke up. "I never told you huh?" I looked at her confused. "Told me about what?" She slightly smiled and looked at the ground. "My past.." I look away and also look at the ground. "You don't have t-" she stopped me. "But I promised you I would one day." She looked at me and then quickly looked away again.

"I was 6 when my mom died.. after she passed.. my dad was mad at the world.. he beat me, blamed me, and more. It was everyday.. before I'd leave to go to school and then when I came home. He did such horrible things to me.. then one day I snapped. I.. I-" she began to cry and sob to the point she wasn't able to speak right. I quickly hug her and rub her back. "Sshhh... it's alright... I'm right here." She calmed down only a little to where she can speak. "I... I took a kitchen knife and stabbed him when he came running at me after school. I stabbed him 57 times. I was overwhelmed with so many emotions and I couldn't stop. Though he was dead long before 17 stabs, I just couldn't help it." She continued to sob and cry.

But when she came to Natsu's family she was only 12.

"How old were you when you did that?" She tried to wipe her tears away, but new ones kept replacing them. "I was 11.." she sniffled and I once again hugged her to comfort her. She chuckled. "Wow, never knew you'd be the hugging type." I smiled. "Well, how could I not. You are sitting here crying your eyes out, but don't think this will become a normal thing." She smiles. "Of course not." She stopped hugging me signaling I should stop to so I did. She looked up to the sky with a bright smile. "Brett, I'm sorry for yelling at you.. I don't hate you at all... I was just spouting out nonsense. Lucy.. her past is so much like mine.. I am just happy she didn't snap like I did.. she is so much stronger and stable then I could ever be. She spent 14 years with her dad abusing her and I spent 6 and easily snapped..."

At that moment I felt the need to hug her again and comfort her.. so I did. Out of nowhere Keely and Hadly jump out of nowhere. "GUYS! THERE YOU ARE!" Hadly yells. "Lucy is awake! Com on!" Keely yells right after, but then they both stop, look at each other and then back to us with smirks. "So~ what's all this huggy huggy stuff?" Nova blushed like crazy and pushed me away, causing me to fall off the bench. "THE HELL NOVA?!" She looked away from me and Keely and Hadly giggles. I sighed and stood back up.

"Alright, we're coming." I picked Nova up bridal style without thinking twice. Hadly and Keely looked shocked as well as Nova. "W-why are you just picking her up?!" Hadly yelled in shock. "Look at her ankle. She couldn't walk by herself." Nova hid her face in her hands as we all walked back to the hospital. Keely and Hadly were behind us smirking away.

WASH YOUR GOD DAMN HANDS YOU FILTHY SINNERS!
