Chapter 2 - chapter 2: exposed

2am I woke up to my phone blowing up, i abruptly jumped out of bed and checked only to see Damien messaging me, why would my enemy be messaging me at 2am. I checked the messages and most if them said help me lilly. I quickly put some shoes on and brushed my hair before rushing to the location he sent me.

Right before me lays his body unconscious, I run to him and shake him screaming "d-damien!?" I started to tear up because although we called ourselves enemies he was one if my oldest friends. He slowly opened his eyes and he could barely lift his arm but he wiped the singular tear that had fallen down my cheek. I smiled slightly and he closes his eyes dropping his arm, I shook him again and yelled "no no no what do I do?! Speak to me!" I managed to barley pick him up his legs dragging along the floor. I rushed him to the nearest hospital and they took him in.

I was seated in he waiting room as I waited for a nurse to tell me he's okay, tears continued to fall down my cheek when this group 20-25 guys walked in they all looked to be around 20-40 and they all followed this one man. The man that looked to be a leader drawer his weapon from his waist band and yelled "where's Damien?" I could tell by the tone in his voice he was going to shoot if he didn't find them. I stood up and walked over to the man and said "who are you?!" The man smirked and his members took a step back as the man stepped closer to me "we his brothers" brothers? What he's never told me about having brothers let alone like 25. "He's never told me he had brothers" the man's face dropped and he leaned in closer to me when Damien came running down the hallway with a gun limping with a walking stick in his left hand, he pointed the gun at the man and yelled "touch her and I kill you"

I looked at disbelief my eyes wide with shock and fear when he pulled me close, my chest touching his, "what happend" I said my voice barley audible from shock, he looked down at me in disappointment due to our height difference. "It's better if you don't know" he said his voice shaky from the operation, he looked at the men that were stepping back, "what have I told you boys about messing with random people! That's no what we do, and if she had left with even a scratch I would've killed all of you's!" At that point the hospital staff were surrounding all of us and the men backed up as the people in the waiting area retreated.

The men bowed, it was clear they knew who was in charge here and it was clearly Damien, he ran to me with a walking stick he was covered in stitches and had black eyes, he must've gotten into a big fight. One of his men looked at me and said "it's clear he hasn't told you but he owns the city, he's a massive CEO and and is in the towns biggest mafia" I looked at him in disbelief and he looked away in disappointment, he pushed his gun into my chest and I grabbed it looking him in the eye. I was left there his hands around my waist and my hand around a gun.

"Why didn't you tell me" I muttered too stunned to talk, when he replied with "I thought you were going to leave me, I wouldn't be able to handle it" his voice was low and suddenly everything made sense. That's why he never stayed around me for long, that's why he's always injured it makes so much sense.
