Chapter 197: Shut up assholes

Pickle POV

My arm and chest hurt, my head feels heavy and I can't get my eyes to open. I moan as I try to lift my head up but it's too heavy, I need water my mouth is dry like I've been eating sand and my throat hurts.

"Hold on baby, I'll help you" Is that River? That's her voice I hear! I relax for a minute then I tenses trying to open my eyes. She shouldn't be here, where am I? My head is too foggy. I try to remember what happened. How did she find me?

I was squeezing that guy with my thighs killing him, then Gio got that other guy. When I was fighting that last guy I felt fire and pain explode through me. I remember hearing Lucky scream my name as he shoots the men running toward me. I was kick ass waiting for my brothers to come find us. Oh god the kid and Gio, are they alive?

I remember trying to talk to Lucky but it was getting to hard to speak I felt like I was choking then just nothing. I take a deep breath in, it smells like a hospital and old fries maybe. River's here I can smell her shampoo vanilla and strawberries. It is really her, I'm at the hospital I'm guessing. I can't talk my throat hurts and my mouth is too dry.

"I need a nurse! He's awake. He's finally awake!" River yells to someone. I can feel her by me holding my hand. I hear her crying now.

"River" I try to moan out.

"Ohhhh honey, I'm here honey" I feel her warmth in my hand. I take a deep breath taking in her sweet scent left from her shampoo.

"Your beautiful" I say trying to lift her hand to my mouth but it hurts like a mother. I can't raise my arm up.

"Your eyes are closed and if you saw me you wouldn't be saying that." She says with a small laugh. I feel her lips on mine, I try to move my arm to pull her face to me more "Fuck!" I moan out. The pain is excruciating. It must be the one that's dislocated.

"Your not supposed to use your arms. Just hold still and they'll come give you some pain meds and some water. Hold on my love.

Your shoulder muscles are torn in one arm and you were shot in your chest on the same side. You need to hold still and move really slow or not at all" she kisses my lips again and puts her head to mine "I love you." She breathes in my face.

"I lov....yo" I try to say as the darkness takes me back. Nothing but darkness but now I'm dancing with River with a single light on us. She looks so beautiful she's wearing a beautiful white gown, a wedding gown. We're dancing at our wedding, I've never felt more happy in my life, then darkness.

I can hear Lucky and Ryder arguing over something. They are both bitching about some dumb shit. They're always fighting about something stupid, they're fighting about the TV I think.

"Shut up assholes" I say as loud as I can. It comes out horse and husky.

I hear feet coming to me and rolling sounds behind that.

"Hey brother, welcome back" I hear Brain's voice.

"What do you need?" And there's Lucky's voice. Where's River I don't hear her this time.

"Quit bitching, my head hurts and my back is killing me" I moan out, the pain is excruciating.

"What time was his last pain meds given to him?" Brain asks. I hear him moving away from me as he's talking probably to check on the pain meds.

I try to open my eyes again, it's a little bit better, less heavy feeling but it's still blurry. I can see Brain trying to get on the hospital computer and Lucky filling a cup with water at the sink.

"Hey your almost there. I can see some of your eyes." Lucky says waving at me.

"Yep you still look like a asshole" I say trying to laugh "Ahhhh Ohh that fucking hurts. Don't make me laugh you dick." I moan out.

"Okay Mr.Smith what's your pain level at?" A soft female voice asks. I try to open my eye a little but I can't see that far from me.

"What ever the high one is the 10 or the ugly cry face emoji" I moan out. Lucky burts out laughing at me.

"I'll have some meds being brought in to you. I'll let the doctor know your awake. I'll have them bring you in some broth and jello too. Only small slow spoonfuls please" she says clacking on the keyboard.

"Other Mr. Smith my number is 67842 use that instead of hacking in. You make the system wig out so please use my password I left it on the keyboard for you. Keep it on the down low please. I don't want to get fire but I also don't people suffering because you messed up the system again" Lucky and Brain laugh out loud as I hear the door close behind her laugh.

"Are we going to have to tip the staff extra for putting up with you two?" They both laugh looking over at me.

"You don't tip the hospital staff that's a waitress" Brain laughs out. He starts feeling my head and looking under my bandages. "Stop" I tell him, if I could I'd smack his hand away.

"I know that. I just assumed we were in the private wing since I came in with a gunshot and obvious torture signs and no police have been in here to question me. How is the kid? They took his eye out. Yeah so shit like that I think would get some attention. So yeah I think big ass money was thrown around here." Lucky chuckles at that last part.

"Well that's a lot of thinking so I guess we know now your brain wasn't fucked up to bad." Brain laughs.

"He's still ugly though to bad all that money couldn't fix that." Lucky says laughing.

"Okay you comedians where's that beautiful girl of mine when my eyes are able to work all the way I don't want to see your ugly faces first"

They both laugh harder throwing stuff at me.

"She'll be back soon. She went to shower and to spend some time with Annie." Lucky says.

"Flame will be back too. They will be glad your awake." Brain says.

"Mr. Smith I have some pain meds and antibiotics for you to take and some light food will be up in shortly." A pretty little nurse says walking over to me.

Lucky stands and moves out of her way, she giggles when he winks at her. Brain laughs "Baby brother don't let my sister see that or you might be in a bed next to him." The nurse looks at us and blushes.

"Anything else Mr. Smith?" She asks as she's typing on the computer across the room.

"No, thank you sweetheart." I say.
