Chapter 255: I never wanted you to see that
Denalii POV
I come in my room and I see River grab something and run to the bathroom. That was weird, I look around the room and I see a flask on the couch. I grab it and take a swing. I knock on the bathroom door. No answer.
"River?" I say with question, now I'm questioning myself. Maybe it wasn't her but I'm pretty sure that running blonde streak was her. I knock again and again "River!"
Marco comes walking in and looks at me weird.
"Are you alright boss?" He asks me. I nod then a blood curdling scream rips from the bathroom. It's so loud, gut wrenching and long. "River!" I yell loudly. I try and slam my shoulder into the door but it doesn't move. Marco runs over and nicely pushes me to the side as he lifts his leg and kicks the door in hard as fuck.
"River!" I say dropping to floor next to her. Her face is super pale and she threw up on her self. I grab the laptop and see what she watching.
"Oh god baby. No, oh god." I close the laptop and cup her face. Tears are running down her face but she doesn't speak. Her body is shaking so hard. I wrap my arms around her and pull her to me but she doesn't move her arms around me or anything. I brush her hair out of her face a little.
"River baby can you hear me?" She just stares forward nothing else, she is barely even blinking.
"Go grab me some of my sweat pants and a tee shirt. Find someone please a doctor maybe. Fuck I don't know. Fuck!" I yell. He runs and grabs the clothes tossing them to me as he heads for the door. She's in shock.
I caress her cheek "Hey sweetie I have to change your clothes okay? I'll do my best not to look." I tell her waiting for a response. I take the hair tie from her wrist and pull her hair up then I move her arms so they are sticking up, she still hasn't moved. I lift her shirt and start carefully trying to get it off without getting puke in her hair.
Her phone is blowing up it draws my attention as it rings again. I look down trying to grab it from her hand, my eyes wonder and I look at her body. The first thing I notice is she's not wearing a bra I hurry and move my eyes but damn. Next thing I notice is the scars. They're so much worse then I thought. They are lucky they are both dead already!
I pull the shirt over her head, I look in her eyes "River can you hear me? Oh sweet girl. I never wanted you to see that." Her eyes start to tear up again. I use my crutch to stand. I grab her hand as I brace myself against the wall.
"Baby girl I'm going to to pull you up to me so I can change your pants okay?" She doesn't say anything but as I pull her to her feet she doesn't resist. I pull her pants down some and try helping her out of them. Finally I got them off, I help her step in to my sweats. I tie them so they don't fall off of her "River can you look at me?" I ask as I look at her. I brush my thumb down under her chin as I lift her face to mine.
"I'm so sorry my love. Come lay with me okay." I say. Moving slowly with one crutch and holding her hand with the other we make our way to my bed. I climb in and reach for her hand, she looks down at my hand. Finally she moves a little on her own "River, can you hear me love?" Tears start running down her face again. I pull her on the bed with me. I quickly pull her tighter against my chest as I pull the blanket over her shoulders and back.
I just caress her face and hair as she trembles against me. I kiss the top of her head "I've got you Amorina." I freeze I really hope she didn't catch that. That's all she needs is to have that on top of what she must have seen. "Shh it's okay I've got you and we'll get him back." I hear her start to sob. I tighten my hold on her "Shh it's okay." She cries harder. The doctor and Marco comes running in a second later. He looks her over and says something in German to the nurse as she hurries out the door.
She comes back in with a wheel chair, I shake my head "She's not leaving my arms tonight." She grips my shirt as she cries harder. The doctor nods his head and starts to examine her.
"She's fine physically for the most part. I cleaned her cut on her cheek, I also cleaned her hand up she might need a stitch or two but I'll look at it again after she's a little more relaxed. She needs fluids after all that alcohol and some rest. She's in shock and it's up to her, when she's ready she'll let you know. I'm holding her for the night for observation and I'll check on her in morning."
"Thank you Doc. Can she stay in here with me?" I ask him. My dad made huge donation and I have this huge VIP room it has a freaking couch in it.
"Yes. A Nurse can bring in another bed." He says calling over the nurse. I shake my head "No need she's fine here with me." I tell him.
"We will give her a little something to help her rest, not a heavy sleep just for rest." The nurse tells me as she starts setting up her IV.
"Why I'm here anyway, let's check the leg." He tells me. I nod.
I move a little over so I can pull my nub out more and pull the blanket away, as soon as I move River jumps and yells "No!!" Gripping my shirt and part of my skin. I almost moan when she digs in to my chest like that. I shake the thoughts from my head, not the time jackass. I kiss her head "Shhhh I'm here I'm not going anywhere." She lifts her eyes to me and my heart skips a beat, there's no way she didn't feel it she's laying right on my heart. I just let her stare up at me for the whole exam almost. I kiss her forehead.
"Is it sore after the prosthetic fitting today." He asks me. I nod my head not looking at him.
"It has some blood so rest for the night and I'll bring some pain meds for you." I look at him then down at my stump.
"Is it going to always bleed after I wear the leg?" I ask him.
