Adopted By SwayLA --> On Hold

Chapter 15

Quinn's Pov:

1 Hour later:

It has been 1 hour since the incident...

Dixie was rushed to hospital in an ambulance and has already had her surgery to remove the bullet from her thigh. But, she still hasn't woken up. Griffin insisted that he stayed with Dixie until she wakes up and that I had to go home. I kind-of put up a small argument with him about staying but in the end, the boys dragged me out the hospital and into their car.

When we arrived at the house, I ran straight to my room where I found my school bag which contained my phone. Luckily, it had some charge (39%) so I could use it for awhile. I wanted to be alone for some time and just think about everything, about everyone.

Would the boys be happier if Griffin never adopted me?

This is all my fault...

Everything...

My fault.

If I wasn't such an idiot, non of this would have happened...

Why can't I just be-

My thoughts were interrupted by someone knocked on my door and asked me to open it, after they spoke, I could tell it was Kio.
"Quinn, are you okay?" He asked as he opened the door and walked inside. If I'm honest, I didn't know how to respond: I hated talking about my feelings.

"I'm fine," I ended up saying but he could tell I obviously wasn't. I turned my head towards the ground and faced my back towards him.
"Bullshit," He shut the door and made his way over to me.
"Quinn, it's obvious you're not fine. You can tell me anything y'know." He said as he came up behind me and hugged me from behind. I wanted to pull myself from his grip but something was telling me that I shouldn't.

I guess I kind-of liked it, having his arms wrapped around me.

I felt safe...

Kio places his head in my shoulder as I debate whether to lean my head on his.

In the end, I tilted my head and rest it on top of his.

"So..." He said, wanted for me to explain why I'm 'not fine'.
"It's nothing Kio," all I wanted was for him to give up on getting me to talk about my feelings.
"Please tell me, I won't tell anyone anything," he assured me, I sighed in defeat. Guess I'll just talk since he won't give up nor go away.

"Fine," I started, "everything, is my fault. If I didn't storm out the house for some stupid thing then non of this would of happened. Dixie wouldn't be in hospital, everyone wouldn't hate m-" I got cut off my Kio...

"I don't hate you," he replied as he grabbed my hand with one of his hands and intertwined our fingers. For some reason, I didn't feel the want to stop him nor turn around and punch him in the nose.

I don't know why but it brought me comfort. It also brought butterflies to my stomach which confused me, Kio is a great guy but I couldn't like him. He won't even like me back, anyway, he is 17 and I'm 14. He was just doing all this to comfort me, right?
