Part 17: "Let it go"

Annie ran through the long front yard trying to catch the mysterious guy.
He was way too tall to be her foster brother and she doubted the two events were even connected.
Her brother always vouched to come back and ruin her life after he was taken away to jail for beating her.
She didn't keep up on his sentence, so he could be out of jail for all she knew.
Annie ran harder to try and catch up with the guy, when she got no more then six inches away she lounged at him and latched onto his ankle forcing him to tumble to the ground.
The person grunts at they fell to the ground, they quickly kicked her into the shoulder with the arm she was holding onto.
She winced in pain as the person got off the ground and ran off.
Annie got off her feet holding her shoulder, she felt as if it was dislocated.
She stumbled back to the back of the house and met where Jayden and Carson were.
They were both drunk and laughing, didn't even hear here when she yelled at them to call the police.

"Can someone please take me to the hospital?" Annie asked her breath being taken away by the agonizing pain.
Jayden looked up at Annie and burst into laughter.

"Girl your asking the wrong person. I'm drunker then a skunk." Jayden slurred through hiccups. Annie rolled her eyes and walked back to the house holding her shoulder.
Everyone was still inside partying, no one had even realized that they could have all been set on fire within minutes.
Annie knee exactly who wouldn't be drunk, she made her way through the crowded living room and saw Hayden sitting on the couch holding Anna's hair while she barfed all over the floor.
Annie scrunched her nose at the smell, but quickly snapped back.

"Hayden can you please bring me to the hospital? I dislocated my shoulder." Annie asked holding her shoulder. She tried to refrain from crying, it wasn't the first time she had dislocated something. Being an Agent is a rough business.

"Of course. I'll have to get Matt, Johnny and Asher. They road with me." Hayden said quickly dropping Anna's hair and standing.

"Alright, but please hurry. I'm in agony." Annie said walking towards the front door. She found a porch swing to sit on for the time being. She wasn't going to enjoy the car ride to the hospital.
Not after seeing what she saw. She was so close to admitting her feelings, giving up the fight with Asher and putting down her pride.
But then she saw that he was back with Kenzie. It changed some things, but then she remember what he said to her when she was caked with makeup. "Love sucks", she played that over and over in her mind.
Did he love her?
How could he ever love someone like her? She's such a hard person to deal with. Annie shook her head, she was hear to focus on the mission! Not worry about frivolous things such as love.
Love had no place in her life. And she almost believed that, until she saw Asher step out of the house and her stomach got those same butterflies.

"Alright, I got them gathered up." Hayden said. Annie stood up and she noticed Asher staring at her arm.
She didn't know if he could even understand what was going on. He looked totally drunk and she wondered if tonight he was going to have another episode.
And this time she wouldn't be there to take care of him.

"You can ride shot gun." Hayden said getting into the drivers seat. Annie said a quick thanks and got into the passenger seat.
Her shoulder throbbed, but not as bad at the tug or war in her mind.

She knew in a few weeks she would be gone anyways, the case would be wrapped up and she would never see them again. That made her sad for some reason, she enjoyed them as friends. She quickly made a little friend group and for the first time in years, she trusted them.

When they got to the hospital Annie told the boys to wait out in the car, no need to have the boys falling all over everyone and creating a scene.
She walked inside and quickly told them the situation. They brought her into a back room and waited for a bit.
It didn't take long for a doctor to come in and she almost fell to the ground in surprise when she saw the doctor.
