The Expendables Girl

Harley POV

i could hear the roar of an engine faintly before i was back in darkness. Later i could hear voices talking to me reading a book. romeo and juliet. one of my favorites. it sounded alot like derek but that makes no sence.  Darkness consumed me again. It was some time before i hear my dad's voice asking me to come back to him. Then i heard christmas saying he would take over watching me. was someone constantly with me? i had to wake up i just had too. i started to move my hands then i cracked open my eyes.

"i'd be nice to see that glow in your dad's eyes again. to see you up and moving again. calling me uncle. and saying you know what time it is and im suppose to say." he said.

"christmas time" i croaked out. He jumped up and lean over me to i can see him.

"your up" he said with a smile.

"yeah..where's dad?"

"want me to get him?"

"nah i got it?"

"what do you mean?"

"DAAAAAAD" i yelled. Heavy foot steps echo into my room and the door swings open. Dad looks tired and drained.

"come here and hug me already" i say playfully. he runs forward and brings me to his chest. He runs his hand over my head and i can feel his tears soak into my hair. I hold onto him just as hard as he is holding me.

"i missed you kid"

"i missed you too dad..and my uncles" i say looking at christmas who's on the phone telling the rest of the boys. 

Dad lets go and sits on the side of my bed.

"how long have i been out?" i ask.

"thats the thing...its been five days. you had lost quite a bit of blood."

"but im fine now daddy"

I lay back down and look out the window. the sun is shining and i notice romeo and juliet on my window sill.

"where'd this come from?" i ask dad.

"that boy from your classes came over and read it to you. he says you had to read it for one of your classes and insisted he read it to you to keep you caught up"

"weird" i mumble. Then i hear the roar of motorcycles pulling up. Rushed footsteps echo in and i see the boys. Gunner comes over and dad moves. he sits down and i hug him. he gives me a camo teddy bear with a p 90 attached to its arm.

"i love it gunner thankyou"  i say and hug the bear.

Next is toll. he hands me a camo beanie."gotta match the bear" he says and we hug.

I put it on and caesar comes over. I hug him and he gands me a box. i open it to find the bullet cleaned up and hanging on a silver chain.

"gotta save your first" he says with a smile.

"thx caesar..so gonna wear this"

Yang comes over and we hug. he gives me a black hoodie that says expendables on it with a skull and raven in white. on the back it says harley in white on the back with the number 00.

"thx yang..never gonna wanna take it off."

christmas comes over and hands me a cd.

"play list so you can dance to better music" he says and i hug him tight.

"not gonna listen to anything else fo a while"

"guys thankyou..you didnt have to do that"
