Gangs

Chapter ten

You are hurt

            I run after him, he walks down the stairs around a few corners and into a back room. There’s music on low and lights flashing, what is this? Atom throws someone into the wall, I switch my attention and walk up behind him

I thought I told you to stay up there Lina

Stop please

Aww did baby run and tell you

No, she would not tell me

So, you are assuming

Do not need to Mason

Your injured man, you cannot win

Do not need to

Fine, I knock you out ima r**e her

            Atom stares at me and his fist tightens around my hand, I stare into his eyes

Hey, it is not even a fair fight, he is hurt

Who said anything was fair princess?

            Atom pushes me farther away from them, he wants me to leave he knows he is not going to win. Masons gonna try and r**e me. Atoms is gonna get hurt worse

What if ya guys do this in the morning

Why?

Well, it is kind of week to beat someone up that is already hurt

I will win either way

Prove it

Get out of here, see ya in the morning Atom

            I rap my arm around his and pull him back, he lets me pull him back, but I can feel the tension and power in his muscles he really wants to fight him right now. This should not affect him so much; he needs to still be smart about it. Soon as we leave the room I turn around and walk back to mine. He stays there. Shelby looks surprised when I walk in.

Not staying with Atom

No

            I change into spandex and a tank top then sit down on her bed next to her

I can heal you.

You can

YA, it is a gift, but you cannot tell no one, alright

I will not I promise

Thanks

Thanks, Shelb

            She nods and grabs my arm healing me, there is a knock on the door, so I slide off the bed and let Atom in. He catches me arm before I walk away an hugs me.

I am sorry

Me too

For what, you did nothing wrong

I should not have told you

No, he f*****g touched you, you need to tell me Lina and he deserves to f**k die

Your hurt Atom

Shelby?

YA ya I got it

            She grabs his arm and heals him, he nods at her then looks back at me, anger in his eyes. What did I do now?

He has no right to touch you and he will pay for it

It wouldn't have mattered if you weren’t hurt, he would have hurt you worse

I do not care

Promise me something

What

You will not do that when you are hurt ever again

I cannot promise that

            I slip on my shoes and slide past him outta the room. He sighs and follows me out. leave me alone I left to get away.

Lina stops

            I turn to face him still backing up.

That was stupid, Atom you would have lost you knew that

I was pissed, I did not think about it until he brought you into it

I do not wanna see you get hurt, you need to think

Stop walking away

promise

No

            I turn around and keep walking away, Damon steps in front of me and I freeze. Demand respect, i'm screwed.

You need to listen to what he tells you sweetheart, disrespect is not accepted

Atom stops right behind me, pressing his arm to my back to let me know he is here. Damon nods at him

Take care of its Atom

He whispers in my ear “Ima slams you into the wall watch your head Lina” He throws me back into the wall, I lock my neck, so my head doesn't hit so hard, but I still wince from pain. Then he throws me forward to the ground.  It does not hurt he’s being too soft, and his dad is going to know. I nod at him and he looks really freaked out but nods and kind of softly kicks me in the gut. It does not hurt as bad as it normally would specially from him, but it still breaks my ribs. I scream to add effect, it almost made me scream in pain anyways, so it was not fake. Atoms hands shake as he pulls me up and slaps me. I drop to the ground again covering my stinging face.

Good boy, finish up somewhere else so you are not scaring anyone

            Atom yanks me up making me wince and holding my upper arm pulls me outside and away from the doors into some trees. I slide to the ground still covering my face, He punches the tree making me jump and wince from the broken ribs. Quickly he drops down next to me concerned.

Lina?

I am good

Move your hand please

Are you gonna freak out?

He shakes his head stressed out and moves my hand, I slowly open my eye, blood runs into it and I try to blink it out, give up and close it again. Atoms hands fist over mine, he is really pissed now.  He softly pushes my shoulder down then rolls my shirt up revealing my bruised stomach. He gets up and paces, I pull myself back into a sitting position and put my head on my knees watching him. After what seems like forever he sits back down and I lay down on his lap, he rubs my back his hands still shaking. he slides his shirt off and starts cleaning the blood of my face.

Atom?

what?

I think I have a concussion

Look at me

            I pull myself up to look at him, my head pounding as I sit up. He looks into my eyes moving my hair outta my face.

Your eyes are dilated

If thats soft how hard can you hit

You do not wanna find out

Ya, haha I do not wanna

I am sorry, I really messed up, today didn't I?

Not the whole day

Oh ya?

I had fun today actually

i'm glad

Did you not?

I have never been so happy before

Least tonight’s almost over

YA, then I get to fight Mason

Promise?

How about I promise if i'm hurt I will not get up and start a fight, but if i'm hurt and someone is hurting you I swear I will be up fighting

Okay, I love you

Are you sure? After that?

Ya i'm sure

He rubs his head; his hand is still shaking on me. I smooth out his tense hands and rap them around me. My eyes start to close, and he shakes me awake

No sleep, bad for a concussion babe

Right

I don't ever want to touch you like that again, so if you decide you want to argue with me, we keep it in your room or a long way away from base. Promise me?

No, ima argue if I feel like it

Lina, I will not do it again so if you do, it will not be me and it will not be this light 

I was kidding, I promise

Thankyou

Can we go to bed?

I will find Shelby, do not go to sleep Lina

Be fast please

You scared

There might be bears

Come on, but my dad cannot see you

Alright
