CHAPTER 7
As I heard those words ring out in the room, I heard the nurse leave and I put my head down, knowing that the three guys were looking at me but I desperately wanted to disappear right now. I didn’t want anyone to know about that. If I did then I would have told them myself. But the doctor just told them what my father had been doing to me and that was it.
It still doesn’t give them a right to use it against me.
“Skylar. The doctor had to examine you when you were brought in. Not just external but internal as well. He had to do some tests after he saw all the scars on your body.” Jax explained. But I didn’t answer him. I just sat there with my head down, not looking at them as the tears got worse but I tried not to make a sound. I tried not to let them know that I was crying, but it was pretty obvious that I was. “At first they were trying to contact your father, but he wasn’t answering.” Jax said.
That’s when I snapped my head up and he would have seen the panic on my face immediately. If he was on his way here then I had to get the hell out of here. I needed to leave.
I started feeling around my arm for the IV, wanting to pull it out but one of the other guys stopped me.
“You don’t understand. I have to go. I can’t be here. I have to leave. Now.” I said.
“You can’t even see anything. You can’t go. Listen, after they saw the scars and bruises on your body, they stopped trying to call your father. They thought it would be best to stop him from coming here.” Jax said.
I felt my heart start to slow down when he said that, but it wasn’t enough. I just knew that he would find me. Dad always knew how to find anyone or anything that he wanted. I wasn’t safe. No matter where I was, I wasn’t going to be safe.
“He’s still going to find me.” I said.
“But he’s not allowed in this room. And we’re going to make sure that he’s not going to come anywhere near you.” Jax said.
“Why do you three care so much? You don’t even know me.” I said.
“I do.” Jax said. And I looked in his direction.
“You were pretending like you didn’t know me at school.” I said.
“I didn’t. Not until I saw that scar on your stomach. That’s how I knew that it was you. You do look a lot different than you used to.” He said. But I shook my head.
“No, I don’t.” I said.
“Listen, we’ve already talked about it. Harry said that we are perfectly capable of taking care of you and protecting you while the detectives investigate your father about the abuse. We don’t know how long it’s going to take and we don’t care.” He said.
“Why? Why would you do that?” I asked.
“Because no one should have to live in fear like that every second of the day.” Harry said.
I was surprised to hear him finally speak. He hadn’t said anything to me and they were letting Jax do all the talking. But I guess he was serious about taking me in until everything got sorted out.
“It could be a long time while they investigate.” I said.
“And that’s fine. We can handle it. You’ll live with us and go to school with us. It’s not really going to be putting us out.” Jax said.
“You all live together?” I asked, confused. And there was a moment of silence before Jax cleared his throat.
“Yeah. It’s a really long story, but we do all live together.” Jax said.
“Don’t tell me you’re gay. I never would have picked up on that.” I said and Jax started laughing.
“No. I’m not gay. None of us are. It’s just more practical for us to live together since our parents are out of the picture.” He said.
I knew that there was a story behind that, but I didn’t really think it was my business to pry. He did bring it up but I knew that it wasn’t my business to ask a lot of questions about it.
I sat there thinking about it for a moment and so far, Jac was the only one talking to me. Harry had briefly spoken to me but it was just all matter of factly. Nothing too warm and concerned or anything. Like it was his duty to take care of me.
All I knew was that I didn’t want to be taken from one hell to the other. And I don’t know what they had planned for me when they got me back to their house.
With my past history with me, I became a little fearful of what they actually wanted. Why were they so willing to help me? No one has ever wanted to help me before.
And they were doing all of this without my consent. They never once asked me what I wanted. That was something else that scared me. Just another man or men telling me what to do.
Harry did seem genuine about me living with them, but from what I’ve learnt about men, they are great at deceiving people when they want to. They are master manipulators. They could have all sorts of ulterior motives that I wouldn’t know about until they had me in their house.
I didn’t realize it at the time but I must have been getting another fearful look on my face. Jax leaned over and tried to grab my hand again, but I pulled it back.
I wasn’t going to keep playing the victim my whole life. And even though I couldn’t see anything, I knew that I had to find a way to get the hell out of this hospital.
I had to find a way to get past these guys who haven’t left since I woke up and get away without dad finding me either.
That was going to be the hard part. But I was determined that I was going to make it happen.
