Secrets Worth Keeping (Finding my Home #2)- Nikita Parmenter Page 0,8

what to expect from Christmas if I’m being honest. The last few have sucked balls so I’m definitely more excited for the cabin” I admit chuckling.

“We’re going to make up for all your shitty Christmas Ever” Cash vows.

“Too fucking right we are” Jensen agrees loudly.

“How did you guys catch up to us so quickly?” I ask, trying to stay awake.

“Well you can thank Jensen for that” Rafe chuckles.

“How so?” I ask.

“Well this isn’t our first kidnapping. Jensen get’s himself kidnapped for fun by Waverly because he gets bored” Trick explains, sounding like a weary parent.

“Hey, you don’t know I did it on purpose!” Jensen protests as we drive through town.

“Didn’t you?” Rafe asks and I can picture him raising his eyebrow at Jensen.

“You were always far too happy when we found you bruised, beaten and covered in blood most of it not yours” Luc says his tone amused.

“Alright fine!” Jensen huffs indignantly.

“Jensen?”

“Yes Angel?”

“Never again ok? I couldn’t handle it if you got taken” I say firmly.

“Ok, Angel, I promise. I won’t deliberately get myself kidnapped anymore” Jensen agrees sincerity ringing in his tone.

“Wow Ever, we’ve been asking him to cut that shit out for years. You ask once and he instantly agrees” Cash grumbles amused.

“You guys just aren’t pretty enough” he jokes back.

As the guys continue to joke my mind spins with the events of the last day. Not even a day actually just the last few hours. So much has freaking happened. First Selena trying to stir shit at the dance and getting those girls to continuously ask the guys out. Then that stunt with showing every fucker my scars and Jensen and Trick kissing me in front of everyone. Then running away from the guys when they bought up that we need to talk about it, which in hindsight was a ridiculously stupid thing to do, but I am coward enough to admit that I won’t be bringing it up with them again. I do promise myself that if they bring it up before I do, I will not run away this time.

Of course then I was kidnapped by a psycho and now my entire body hurts and all I want to do is curl up between my guys and sleep this awful shitty evening away. Before I can do that though I’m going to have to go to the hospital and get checked out.

“Has it always been this long a journey?” I ask.

“What?” Trick asks sharing a concerned look with Riot.

“To the store, I mean hospital?” I mutter. “Why did I say store?”

“I think it’s safe to say you absolutely have a concussion, Baby girl” Rafe says.

“Don’t go to sleep, Il mio Cuore, ok?” Cash asks concerned.

“We’re almost there” Trick says.

“We’re pretty damn good at looking after people with concussions now, again Jensen’s clumsy ass has ensured that” Riot chuckles, trying to make conversation and keep me awake.

“Hey!” Jensen exclaims, “I resent that statement, it’s not my fault. Walls move deliberately in my way, and the floor tries to trip me up. It’s a goddamned conspiracy I tells ya!” Jensen yells putting on an accent so ridculous that it has me laughing.

“What the fuck kind of accent was that dude?” Luc scoffs.

“I dunno it made Ever laugh though, which means she’s awake and we’re here!” He sings in reply.

The guys somehow manage to find parking and we all get out of the cars together, Trick and Rafe both step up to my sides and support me as I stumble.

Chapter Three

We walk through the front doors of the hospital, the guys pretty much holding up all of my weight at this point. I’m just so fucking tired and everything freaking hurts like a bitch.

“You must be Ever?” a kind older looking female nurse asks me. “My grandson called and told me you were being bought in, he’s a paramedic.”

I nod tiredly.

“Hop in sweets, lets get you checked out so you can rest” she says.

I sit in the wheel chair that I hadn’t noticed the nurse pushing, my tired body instantly grateful.

“Ok boys you can’t all come with us whilst she’s being examined and normally I wouldn’t let even one of you but these are extenuating circumstances, so you young man can come. The rest of you wait here” the nurse instructs as she points at Cash.

“Come on man, sit down Cash has got our girl” Trick says quietly to Jensen as he goes to protest.

I try to give them all a reassuring smile as Cash comes to my
