A low, menacing grow erupted, and Gyth was now standing beside me, no longer sitting as he had been. Everything started slowly coming back, and all the people around me came into focus, just before I heard Gyth’s next words.
“I’m going to kill the son of a bitch!” he shouted with a look of hatred etched on his face, as he stepped back from me.
His outburst should have scared me, but he wouldn’t hurt me, and I didn’t have time to think about it because of the pounding in my head.
I must have whimpered or made a noise because his face softened as he came closer again, and grabbed my hand in his for a brief second.
“Let me grab a nurse.” His hand left mine and he walked away. Alley and Jurnee then took his place at my side. That’s when I also realized where I was.
“Someone get me out-t of this damn-n hospital!” I shouted but my words still had trouble coming out completely clear.
And then it dawned on me, I didn’t know what happened after the seizure hit. Pain pierced my bottom lip, as my teeth bit into it with worry. A taste of blood touched my tongue and Jurnee reached out to calm me.
“Hey, sweetie, it’s going to be okay,” she said softly.
“How do you know-w? Don’t even-n remember-r what happened after I fell. What did he do-o to me?” Tears streamed down my face at the awful thoughts running through my mind.
“That’s what we will figure out—” Alley started, but was cut off by a voice I didn’t know.
As my head swiveled toward the door, a man in uniform stood there with Gyth, Braxton, and Kace flanking his sides.
“That’s exactly what we are going to find out, ma’am,” the officer said.
That crazy sound vibrated all around us again, as Gyth’s pissed-off energy took hold and he spoke.
“That’s if I don’t kill the motherfucker first.”
The cop looked at Gyth and Braxton quickly grabbed his friend and pulled him from the room.
“Now, do you think you can answer a few questions for me?” the officer asked.
I didn’t want to go through the terror again, but I wanted to go home.
“I’ll try-y,” I found myself saying.
That’s when Gyth strode back into my room, to the other side of me, gently cupped my hand in his, and looked at me with calmer eyes than just before and said, “That’s my girl.”
Chapter Nineteen
Gyth
I couldn’t endup in jail for murder, or I wouldn’t get to spend the rest of my life with Summer.
That fucker, Lawson, had my girl to thank right then for him not being in a pine box, ten feet under a pile of dirt, buried somewhere that nobody could find his damn body.
My mama taught me how to treat a lady, and you don’t ever put your hands on them in anger or against their will.
Especiallymine.
Chapter Twenty
Summer
You would thinksince I worked at the very hospital I was in, that I’d know how to work the system so I could get out faster, but that didn’t happen.
The smells of the hospital room filled my nose, and I was perplexed at the fact they seemed so much more potent to me as a patient than when I was working. On top of that, I could have very well won an award for the most difficult and crankiest patient.
As a nurse, I wouldn’t even like myself.
