Book 2: In the Life of Mia: College Chapter 63
After they finally let her in, she had calmed down enough to do so she was at my side holding my other hand and squeezing it. “I don’t understand why her… none of this has anything to do with her, for fuck sake she’s a 19-year-old girl from the US” she did her best to keep her temper down. Lola finally spoke and was cool calm and collected even though her voice begged to differ “she is going to be ok just a few broken ribs and the bullet was a through and through. The Dr. is still looking over the CT with Bailey but what it sounds like is that it’s all psychological and we just have to wait for her to wake up on her own.” The voices started to fade again and his time I was feeling trapped even more and finally just let it happen hoping that it would help in getting me back to where I needed to be. I found myself outside the pub we had all been out at many time and this time I was there with the group, but I was not truly there, yet I was there watching as they all went their separate ways. Violina was now riding her bike towards campus and when she crossed the main street leading back a black car came speeding towards her clipping her back tire causing her to flip over the handlebars. The person in the car got out and watched as she crawled towards safety or so she thought it would be once she was able to be seen by the campus police.
The gunshot rang out loud again and this time directly into the back of her head “YOU DUMB BITCH…YOU JUST COULD NOT STOP DIGGING… YOU THOUGHT LEAVING CANADA WAS A GOOD IDEA YET YOU FOUND YOURSELF DEAD FOR AN ENTIRLEY DIFFERENT REASON” the man’s voice was so harsh. I did my best to record the sound of the voice wanting it drilled into my brain so that I could remember it when I finally woke up. I felt my body jerk back when I tried getting closer as the man in the trench coat turned out of sight and headed back to his car. I just wanted to get a peek at his face, however I only got the side of it which was so quick that it was like a flash of light blinding me. I was jolted so hard that I woke gasping for air and pain rushing through my veins and finding myself in a dark room with a little light in the corner that illuminated just enough for me to see that Leona was in the chair next to me. I was not hooked up to anything but when I tried to move the pain jolted me back against the mattress “FUCK!” I yelped out and up popped Leona to her feet. “I’m here….. relax I’m here….” she whispered getting close and sitting on the edge of the bed.
Leona lifted her hand and was coming towards my face, but just as she was about to make contact Bailey walked in “I heard yelping and thought I’d come make sure things were ok in here… Mia darling good to have you back… do you remember anything that happened?” he asked. Leona moved her hand and got up off the bed taking the seat next to me again waiting for me to answer. “I remember it all and to be honest I’m pretty sure I know where to start looking deeper into all this… it has to do with the professor…before he was the professor that is. What did he do before becoming a teacher… because that’s where it all lies… who was the next victim because I know I was just a distraction in all this” I begged for an answer and Bailey looked at me with wide eyes. “HOW….. do you know there is another victim….” “Just tell me what I want to know now that I’ve told you where to look” I begged. Bailey took a step back and sat down watching me as though he was not ready to tell me who it was “It was the professor…. But not that killing him was a big deal since he only had about a year left to live after being diagnosed with stage 4 cancer a couple of weeks ago” he frowned even though a life was still a life.
Bailey left me when I asked to be left alone and needed time to think while him and the rest of the team got started on the professor and what it meant since he would be dying soon anyways “it was a mercy killing…” I whispered to myself. Leona was back at myside and asking me to repeat what I had just said. “Nothing just thinking out loud not a big deal… You should be home resting….” “Fuck that I’m needed here more… you’ve been out for a good 48 hours and we’ve been racking our brains about this whole thing. Why you, you have nothing to do with any of these deaths that are as old as you are from the first one anyways and then every two years after… just why would they think you’d be able to solve it when a professor who was once a lawyer, and a judge not be able to?” she asked, but not to me more to the heavens above. I was just trying to breathe through the pain as my ribs felt so tight and finally lifted my tank top that someone had put on me and wanted the ace bandage off, me. “GET THIS OFF PLEASE…” I begged feeling my anxiety getting higher and panic start to set in quickly. Leona touched my hands with hers as my hands were at the bandage trying to get the damned thing off. “Relax…. You need it this tight to keep your ribs supported. Just take a few slow breaths in and focus ok, you can do this I’m right here to help you ok!” she brushed the back of her finger tips against my side where pieces of my tattoos were showing.
The contact she made with my skin in both areas caused me to shiver a little and close my eyes as the feeling of it sparked something in me. I hated that I liked it so much and she did it again to the other side as I opened my eyes wide to see Leona watching me and tracing my tattoo with her finger. “These are amazing works of art… your girls were very tiny as I could see by the prints on your side when they were rewrapping you and changing the bandages. I also saw the one that you did on this side for Maddie, that was very brazen of you… do you regret getting it now though?” she asked in a calm whispered tone. I put my hands over hers and pulled my shirt back down over them not wanting to talk about it at the moment. “NO, I don’t regret either of them or these here” I slowly pull the blanket down a bit and showing her my hip bones. “LIPS… hmmm ok well that’s interesting, and stars well I guess it’d be hard to put hugs since how do you draw hugs besides putting the signs of X & Os” she whispered so softly that I was for sure she was about to do something. She surprised me when she moved her hand downwards and went from side to side touching them and making sure to touch all the dips along my muscles. I was feeling my heart race and groaned a little feeling a sudden cramp hit me which told me I was about to go through the cycle of the monthly womanhood that always seem to come at the wrong time.
Leona moved her hand back thinking it was her that caused the pain “Please keep touching me.. the contact is helping me and my anxiety… I’m just getting cramps which means I’m about to ummm cycle soon” I whispered with a soft giggle. Leona smiled and continued to touch me but stopped promising to start again once she was comfortable again and found her comfort lying on my chest and on the side that was at least not injured. I didn’t stop her and even found comfort in it and felt she had too. “You scared me so bad when I got a call about you lying lifeless on the ground and were carried away in the back of your fucking truck… then Bailey finally had Lexi and Paxton bring me here…” “Shhh don’t think about it any longer I’m right here not going anywhere anytime soon it looks like since I’m prisoner here until God knows when. I really need my bag to do my schoolwork, so I don’t at least flunk out and have to move home” I begged and pleaded with a little laugh regretting it immediately.
Bailey came running into the room startling me as he sat the laptop on the table and pulled it over and sat next to me wanting answers on how I knew what this all meant. "We are going to have to go back to the US, this is an urgent situation and now we have already contacted the university and asked that you be sent all your assignments by email due to a family emergency. Your professors are fine with that, they have also given you an extension, so I called the pilot and he's ready to go in about 45 mins. In the mean time I need you to do what you do and just help figure this out, I put more detail on Catherine in Cali and Sharene even though she’s not in direct danger as of now. I am not going to take this lightly and unfortunately we have to talk with your father due to this somehow has him involved and I am still trying to uncover it and it's buried deep..." he trailed off which I had already started to tune him out. It took forever for him to finally leave the room when his phone kept going off and Leona had helped me by getting him to take it outside in the hall and let me rest.
