Life With Falling Gravity

~Chapter 3~

~Chapter 3~

Donivan’s POV:

Our driver stopped the bus for some gas at some local filling station, or gas station if you will.

I was bullshitting with Nico, when something in the corner of my eye caught my attention. And that’s when I saw her. She was so simple, and yet, she was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen in my entire life.

I couldn't help but stare at her. Her beautiful red hair feathering over on the side of her face, the most kissable lips ever known to man, bright aqua eyes, they shine even brighter under the filling station lights. everything about her was so angelic. so mezmorising.

Her outfit, so simple, but it fit her beauty perfectly. She wore black knee high leggings, they hugged her thighs perfectly. black and pink skater sneakers, with a black tank top with lace trimmings.

she was even wearing the necklace i got her. it laid lightly against her skin just under her neck.

“Dude! What's up? What happened?” Nico said while snapping his fingers in front of my face.

“I'm sorry, what’d you say?” I replied without taking my eyes off of her.

I just felt electrified just by looking at her.

Nico looked to what my eyes were glued on, and he said “ah, I see now.”

I said “thats her man, that's Arina.”

“really? she's cute. she must be on the way to the show just like us.” Nico said.

“I want to say something to her, but I can't move." I explained.

Nico just looked at me as if i was crazy, but he knew why. I was the guy every girl wanted; I was ‘the bad boy’. my reputation was horrible. I went to prison in the past, i used to be on drugs, and drink, the media loved making a foold of me, and back then i didnt care. i had one night stands, but I never settled into a relationship.

hell, i've never even gone on a real date with anyone, just fake ones for publicity.

I was a singer of a really well-known band, Falling Gravity, and a lot of girls just look at me because of fame and fortune. I wanted something real, but i was scared to trust anyone. but i trust Arina, and i didnt wana screw it up with her. i was magnitized to her.

With my sights never leaving her, I noticed she was walking into the filling station building, and that's when my gut twisted; something was wrong.

Two guys with cigarettes looked at her, I knew something was going to happen. when she walked past them into the building, they looked each other with an evil look, as if with an evil plot.

“hey, did you see that?” I asked Nico.

“see what?” he asked, looking out the window.

“you see those two guys?” I asked him, and he nodded. “they looked at her in a weird way, I think they’re gana try and do something."

“You got that from a look?” he asked skeptically.

“Alright then, let’s wait and see.” Nico continued with skepticism.

Not even a minute passes and she comes out of the building and turns past the two men. They both drop their cigarettes to the ground, and start walking after her.

“See man, what’d I say?" I said panicked as I got from my chair.

When I made it to the door, I looked out the window as I was trying to unlock the door, and saw one guy pick up a loose brick from the ground.

When she opened the side door of the building, the guy tapped her shoulder, she turned around, and he smashed her face with the brick. I knew by the way her body fell, that she was out cold.

Panic flooded through me, and I started kicking my bus door so I could get to her. {the lock was jammed}

it felt like forever before the bus door finally swung open. i kicked it so hard it slammed against the bus itself.

Nico and I ran full speed to get to her. I reached the door first.

There was blood everywhere; on the floor, the sink, her face, her top.

her face was unrecognizable, her clothes were torn, and her pants were around only one ankle.

and thats when i noticed it, the older guy had his d**k out, as the other one was holding her down in case she came to.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing. they were going to rape her!

I started wailing on the one with his d**k out. That is one fight no one ever wants to be involved in; fighting someone while their d**k is out, you dont ever want that s**t anywhere near your face. If that ends up happening, you will end up being the one screaming because you are eye level with some guy's hard on, and not all of them are as pretty as mine.

As the other guy jumped on top of my back, Nico pulled him off of me, and began to wail on him. that’s when

Rhett,

Ambrose, and

Makihe showed up.

Ambrose and Makihe joined in on the beating, and Rhett slid her body outside of the bathroom onto the grass. Once he did that, he called the police, and our trusty ‘on call doc’, aka Dr. Cayson.

Dr. Cayson is the only doctor that we bring along with us, he is our on call travel doc if you will. Where we go, he goes. We trust only him. and we pay him generously.

The police showed up, as did Dr. Cayson, and they immediately broke up the fight, and asked what was going on. as soon as I told the police what had happened, they immediately pressed charges against the two guys. They then sent an ambulence for Arina. Dr. Cayson agreed to follow the ambulence, and i insisted on riding with her.

Her face was so swollen, and she had a big gash on her head.

Come to find out, they hit her several times with that brick while they were inside of the bathroom, those bastards.

All i could do was hold her hand.

As soon as we got to the hospital, they took her for testings.

I felt hopeless. I felt like I was going to cry if she didnt make it. I was worried out of mind, and I didnt like it. This was the first time in my life that i actually cared about someone.

A nurse came in asking for her ID and information, the police found her wallet, and handed it to me for information purposes for the doctors. So i handed the nurse her ID, and she asked for her insurance card.

"Here just bill me for everything." i gave her my information instead.

I was incredibly wealthy, and had no worries about cash. If i wanted to, i could retire 50 times over, and 50 times again, and still have a wealthy life style each and everytime. But i was simple, and didnt spend alot of money like most rich people did. It doesnt take much to make me happy. sit me front a game system, and some snacks, and im good.

about 3 hours later a doctor named Dr. Garinson came in and walked twords me,

"are you with Arina DePinto?" Dr Garinson asked

My band members; Ambrose, Makihe, Nico, and Rhett all stood up with concern.

"yes" i answered "is she going to be ok?"

"well..." the dorctor began "As far as i can see, this is going to be a long journey to recovery for her, those boys really did a number on her. We gave her about 43 stiches to her head. We took full body x-rays, and found that she had a fractured ankle, a fractured nose, wrist, thumb, fractured eye sockets in both eyes, and a fractured skull. 3 broken rips. Her face is completely swollen and we had concerns for internal injuries, so we sent her to get her head checked. She has been diagnosed with Traumatic brain injury, which includes a massive concusion. This is the part thats going to take the longest during her recovery. When she wakes, she may have amnesia, she may not be able to speak right away, so just give it time. she may have trouble understanding things or even words, she maybe very confused. she may laugh or cry for no reason, or she may be angry for no reason, but dont worry this is all completely normal. she may have anxiety, so i will perscribe you meds for her anxiety episodes to help, also some pain meds. She may have trouble walking or opening things for a while, that too is normal; muscle stiffness is very common. she may also vommit, so just keep an eye on her until her healing process is complete since she has no one else to watch over here. or if she is lucky, she may have little symptoms. and sir?" Dr Garinson asked.

"Yes?" i said

"now this poor girl has an uncomfortable history of a sensitive condition in her cornias, her injuries will make that 100 times worse, so i sudgest that she remain blind folded for at least the next 6 months, if not more. Do you think you can handle taking care of her for the next 6 months or so?"

"Sir," i said without second thought or hesitation, "I will make her my top priority."

"good" he replied. "what's your relationship with her? unfortunately we have a strict policy of only family seeing patients in her condition."

at that moment Nico stood next to me with concern.

"I'm her husband" i said, i couldnt controle it, the words just slipped out. Nico just looked at me in disbelief.

"Great, follow me" the doctor said. I looked at Nico and just shrugged.

"and I'm her brother, may i come aswell?" Nico asked

"brother, there's no record of a brother." the doctor said.

"adopted brother." Nico said.

"oh, then of course. follow me please." dr Garinson said.
