I was losing blood, that much I could tell, I was feeling dizzy and weak as hell and I knew I had to get out of here fast but I couldn't lift myself from where I crouched next to this bin even if I tried to.
It was like all energy was sucked out of me. My heart rate spiked when I heard footsteps approaching i didn't testify against his brother so why were they after me?
I said a quick prayer when they found me. I'd never felt this vulnerable laying helplessly not being able to move a finger.
"Fuck man boss said alive she ain't gonna make it" Voice 1 said, I was drowsy and couldn't see their faces
"She's lost too much blood but we gotta try man i can't be the cause for Salvia's Anger"
I was floating on fire, water, air? I didn't even know. I couldn't register who was with me or where I was anymore only I was been lifted up.
We were moving and someone was whispering to me, jolting my abdomen every now and then also stinging my stomach.
It went on repeat before we came to a halt.
I couldn't place any voice but I knew they were talking and dragging me whilst stinging me with what would probably be a needle. Were they drugging me?
I could hear hush whispers and I swear I felt the panic state of the people around me, why were they panicking aren't I the one dying?
D-dying ?! is that what's happening, Am I dying? Is this what the line between life and death is? Will I see my parents? What about Matt? Matt! Oh my god Matt? What will happen to him? How will he cope?? I'm all he has,
Will he follow in my footstep to wherever I go??
The thought of my brother spiked my heart rate and I could hear a loud beep from my right side directly in my ear, successfully making me deaf.
"She's——-respondi—- barel—— alive—-b——shock—
I couldn't keep track of what was going on, i felt like I was high, I'd never taken drugs before but I could swear this would have been similar to whatever feeling I would get from it.
"1,—3, sh—c—"
My eyes were itchy, I tried to open them but they were heavy, way too heavy.
I felt lightweight getting pulled towards an imaginary light. I smiled liking the feeling of being afloat but in an instant I remembered Matt and jolted awake crashing down from my mental high.
my vision was blurry but I could hear so much commotion in the room.
A silver haired lady was the first to yell "she's awake" before the others grabbed unto me, one cleaning my bloodied stomach, another changing the blood bag, wait blood bag?! How much blood did I lose?
I was very much alive but I couldn't feel myself, I wanted to yell out 'would you please stop touching me' but my tongue felt busted
The room was crowded making it stuffy and it stunk with blood, m-my b-blood
My heart spiked and I could hear the loud beep of the monitor right by my ear yet again
I felt so uncomfortable, in a room of possible murderers I opened my mouth and closed it once, twice, thrice before screaming but seeing as none of them responded to it was soundless.
Why can't I move? Is this paralysis? O-or a COMA!?? am I in a coma?
I really shouldn't have taken that night shift, No money was worth this turmoil was the last thing I thought before I fell unconscious.
I woke up to the sound of a bang that was undoubtedly a gunshot.
I jolted awake my heart racing and my stomach aching the pain was enough to make me get a grip of myself getting aware of my surroundings and gaining full consciousness almost immediately, I was in a makeshift ward room. It wasn't standard enough to be a ward, it only contained a couch, a bed, a heart monitor and surgical equipments.
I didn't want to think the worst about where I was or who took me I was just falsely hoping it wasn't who I thought it was.
"I- I got shot" I said out loud as some kind of confirmation it was unreal
I never would have imagined in a million years I would make that statement. It really isn't as they make it out to be, it was way worse
It feels like every energy is being sucked out of me with every breath.
I looked at my arm where I was being injected fluids thinking of how to remove the needle, I'd watched too many Hollywood movies not to know how badly it could go.
I was no nurse but I should be able to do this much right?
I grabbed the end and pulled the needle out slowly with shaky hands when another bang jolted me pushing it all the way in.
My fear was a thousand times more than the pain because I barely paid it any attention and just unhooked the drip instead leaving the needle.
I shuffled towards the window clutching my abdomen huffing after searching and failing to see a phone.
I'd always known my luck wasn't anything to rely upon but I didn't know the universe was actively working against me . I wiped away my tears and tried to think rationally if he was going to kill me, he wouldn't have had me treated in the first place.
B-but what if he needs some sort of information, what information do I even have to offer.
The sound of another shot gripped me with fear and at this point I was sobbing hysterically.
I was on the third floor so i couldn't exactly jump down without having some serious injuries or possibly falling to my death.
So I just ran and hid underneath the bed frame pathetically sobbing for my life.
I never got to buy Matthew tickets to his favorite basketball game, I remembered the time I was in a terrible mood and shouted at him when all he asked was if I was hungry.
I didn't buy a cake for his previous birthday, I couldn't afford it and we didn't go see our parents even though I had promised we would.
"I-I'm sorry, Matt I'm so sorry" I cried hiccupping thinking about the days that were all bad, that I could have done better I was a really shitty sister
I stilled and snapped out of it when I heard the door open and I could hear two, three, four people come in
"Where is she?" A man asked
"S-She was right here sir, she was still unconscious" a lady said her voice quivering walking towards the bed.
"Then where the fuvk is she now" The same man asked
"S-sir I- she couldn't hav—
The lady walked to the window before coming back to the bed.
"She was being watched, so she didn't leave the room and she couldn't have jumped sir" She said her voice shaky and genuinely perplexed she was obviously scared.
"Then ho—
A laugh cut off their conversation and it chilled me to my core. It was dark and cold, sounded like death, i shivered it was Luca
"Come on out now darling" he said
I gripped my chest in fear
Is he talking to me? Have I been made?
"Sir?" I heard The other man asked confused
"You'll do well not to make me repeat myself" he said still chuckling humorlessly
I crawled out underneath where I was with my tears and snot filled nose shocking the lady who let out a gasp earning a dark look from all three men
I looked up and saw the guy from the court staring at me curiously. Luca's younger brother, Luca, and a man I do not know
"Aren't you cute" Luca said with a blank face
As much as I knew i was most likely taken by him, I had the littlest hope that my luck wasn't that bad but apparently it is and it was indeed Luca standing like the Boss he is.
I stood still speechless not daring to look at him
"What's your name?" He asked
I stayed silent terrified to say a word
I was so close to losing my shit and jumping the window, yes I'll take my chances with death and jump.
"You see, when I ask a question, I expect an answer" he said in both a cool and cold tone
I could understand that meant 'I'm not fucking around here'
"Name?" He asked again expectantly
"A-Alison" I replied my voice shaking and on the brink of tears
"I don't like the stuttering" he commented
"I-I'm S-sorry I'm sorry" I said finally reaching my limit, tears streaming down my face
Luca stood up and approached me automatically making me wobble backwards.
"Stay where you are" he ordered
Tears were fast pouring from my eyes at this point and I was visibly shaking
"Luca you are scaring the shit out of her" his brother spoke up
"Am I ?" He asked looking at me
Was this a trick question? Can't he tell by my tears? Or my staggering backwards or the fact that I hid in the first place? Or maybe the fact that I am currently kidnapped and in the presence of who runs the biggest gang in the country.
I looked at everywhere but him still crying profusely "y-yes"
"Look at me" he said lifting my chin
His hands were cold and harsh, I cried gazing up at him terrified "Please don't kill me" i said in a whisper
He looked at me before smirking yet again without humor dropping his hand "She's cute"
"And bleeding" his brother added nodding at my now swollen and bleeding vein
Luca lifted my forearm looking at the shoved needle before nodding at the silver haired lady "Fix it"
"What happened" the lady asked gesturing for me to sit on the bed
I sat down in a rush regretting it in an instant when I felt my insides squeeze, I bit my lip to stop me from crying out, gripping onto the railing of the drip.
" I-i uhm I tried to pull the needle out but it w-went all the way in" I answered panting
"This will sting" she said trying to pull it out
I bit my lip so hard as she did, I could taste blood sting? this wasn't a sting it was full blown pain
I blew out breath putting pressure on the punctured skin trying to hold both my pain from the needle and the gunshot wound. My insides was on fire but I held it in.
The lady disinfected before dressing it "All done"
I half hoped she would take forever so I could avoid any sort of conversation because now I was being stared at and awkwardly trying not to make eye contact with anyone.
"Get her a room" Luca's deep and dark voice filled the room
A what? Did he just say a room? as in somewhere to sleep in
"A-a room?" I voiced my thought in shock my eyes bulging out
"As in, as in here?" I questioned stupidly already knowing the answer
I stood up from the bed starting on another bout of tears "P-Please let me go home" I pleaded, he couldn't possibly be serious
"We have business" Luca said with finality giving me the do not say another word vibe. He stood up walking to the door before pausing to face the silver haired lady "her stitches popped"
I looked down at my abdomen and sure enough it was bloodied.
Of course it popped I was almost shitting myself with him in the room.
I dropped to the floor the moment the door closed crying onto the bed.
The other man left immediately after Luca but his brother stayed silently staring at me.
