Very familiar voices argued in the background as my mind felt hazy and I resisted the urge to tell them to shut the fuck up because I hated waking up this way and I hadn't woke up like this since I lived with Marie and Landon now it felt very foreign to me.

 

I adjusted to much this life I realize. I needed to keep my guard up especially against Cherry. I clench my fists tightly at the thought of her another thing I had to worry about.

 

"Mom! I just saw her hand move."

 

In a instant the bickering stopped and footsteps ran toward wherever I even laid, definitely was not my bed,

 

Waaaait ! Then where was I ? A soft, warm, slender slid their hands through mine and clutch it as if I was going to leave. I force with all my might to open my eyes the blackness was scary me and once I did the light flooded through my eyes and I squinted; blinking. The moment I saw the monitor, white walls, the sanatize clean smell, and the beeping of my heart...

 

"I'm at a hospital."

 

"No shit Sherlock."

 

"Shady !" Marie scolded.

 

"What ?!"

 

"Why am I at a hospital !" I snapped almost not recognizing it as it came out as a croak my voice was  really dry.

 

I groan at the head ache that was forming and had to go pee really bad.

 

"Shutup ! Toad face." Sneered Shady and I glare at him.

 

Shutup , shutup, shutup ! I freeze and suddenly I remember something very important that must've triggered me being at the hospital. That little bastard !

 

"Mom can you please get me a glass water and something to eat ?" I say coughing and turning on my side to face her. I took in her appearance, she looked as if she hadn't slept in days, bags lined her eyes and her hair was in a sloppy bun and dressed in sweatpants. I didn't even want to know how I looked right now.

 

She looked shocked maybe because I wasn't screaming and showing how pissed I was on the inside about being at the hospital and about Shady. But ohhhh don't worry their would be time to show that later.

 

Marie nodded and leaned down to press a kiss to my forehead, "I'll be back okay ? Shady please watch your sister."

 

He groaned and I smiled sweetly at Marie, as she left the room closing the door lightly behind her. Shady sat slumped in the maroon chair directly in front of the hospital bed. I stared and he stared back filling the room with awkward silence. Bags laid beneath his eyes and for once their was no smirk or glare. His eyes only held confusion in them, I struggled to keep the growing temper inside of me I wanted to lash out.

 

"Do you remember anything that happened yesterday ?" He finally asks raising a eyebrow.

 

I pretend to ponder over it and finally shake my head as in no.

 

His face looked relieved and that familiar glare was back his face already hard to read my confused face turned into the look when I was pissed when people watch me when I eat. Like you little weirdo !

 

"Nah I'm just shitting you dumbass, I remember everything." I snap. "And don't even fucking think your going to get away with it."

 

Outside I was calm and fierce but underneath I was raging with anger a memory flash backed.

 

- Flash back -

 

"Evangeline wasn't there a better way to handle the situation, like walking away ?"

 

"No." I snapped. I sat in the foster home counselor's office frustrated and hurt. As Destiny lectured ne about what I needed to change about myself. I had been walking home from school when a group of boys thought it would be fun to tease me and gang up on me. I held my tears and my head high at the time refusing to show I was scared. I was pressed against a run down building away from anybody's view, their was 5 of them and all older by a few years. Looming over me I figured was the leader of the little gang his eyes were cold and a dark blue a smirk wore on his face. He grabbed a younger boy and shoved him forward roughly toward where I stood against the brick wall. The boy stumbled into me and I quickly move to the side.

 

Snickers fell from the other boys, "Prove it Sanders. That your not a soft ass pussy."

 

The boy gulped and put on a determined face, without warning his fist swung toward my face I ducked and it connected with the brick wall. "Fuck !" He yelled in pain cradling his fist. Once I was certain the others weren't going to jump in I left my fist go and feel the sharp pain of my fist connecting with his face since he was still down. I realized it was a gang initiation and was not proving he was tough enough to be apart of it, if he was getting his ass kicked by a girl. Blood spilled from his nose and I realized that I must've broke it. I turn to leave the leader stood in front blocking my way eyes showing amusement down at me. "Now wait, I don't think Sander's is done with you yet."

 

A hand grabs my hair roughly from the back and tugs on it driving me back, I kick and flail and I''m dropped roughly on the glass- littered ground. Sharp pains hit me everywhere I struggle to fight back my vision is clouding over and I kick sharply one last time before curling into a ball and protecting my head.

 

"Stop."  

 

"I said stop, Sanders."  The heavy weight  on top of me that kept me pinned down is gone and I don't remember anything else, before my body went limp and I was out.

 

- Flash back over -

 

My eyes open with shock and I leap up sobs escaping my mouth a arm quickly  held me down preventing me from getting up as my breaths come in sharp rasps.

 

"Shit ! Calm down Ev, I got you." I look into those cold blue eyes that held me and snuggle into Shady forgetting everything that happened between us. The only thing that stayed in my mind was why had that terrible memory begun to come back ?

 

 

And once again I was high alert when the door pulled open revealing a tall red head-

 

Cherry.

 

 

So I know I took long enough to update I been lagging and shiet but I hope you like it <3 Ezadopee

Cherry walked slowly and with the fakest smile I ever seen she said, " I hope your feeling better Evangeline. " I cast a glare at her and Shady just stares I had the sudden urge to lean back into him protectively away from her hateful gaze.

 

I nod slowly, "I've been better."

 

She laughs throwing her head back, "Shady you mind leaving me and Evangeline alone so we can talk ? "

 

I will him not to leave seeing as I could barely get up let alone defend myself from her, hell I didn't trust her.

 

His arms slide away from waist quickly as if suddenly noticing what he was doing and slid off the bed casting me one last glance. This time it was once a glare again as if to not expect anything from him in my eyes I was going to always be alone I just still needed to remember that.

 

I stare straight ahead as I hear Shady's footsteps walking out the door it slams shut and out the corner of my eye I see Cherry walking toward me with a sneer.

 

"I see you don't love Annabel enough or your life." I ignore her and fix my glare at the plain white wall directly in front of me.

 

"I'm talking to you ! " She spat out with annoyance in her voice.

 

I stay silent.

 

Her hand grabs my tangled hair roughly and gives it a sharp tug I hiss in pain and a smirk lands on her face as Cherry finally gets a reaction from me. It doesn't last as I lash out and strike her roughly in the cheek.

 

"Let.Go."

 

She snarls, and in one motion yanks the cables hooked to the machine away. I gulp inwardly and look around for something to attack her with, come on ! Evangeline think !

 

My gaze falls on something in her hand it lay a needle with a clear fluid, Cherry laughed once again, "Prepare to die ! Any last words Evangeline ?"

 

"Yeah ! That I think your a crazy bitch !"

 

And then I lunged at her.

 

 

2 days later ...

 

I sat in 5th period gazing out the window, I was bored. But it was waaaay better than staying in the hospital, I shudder at the thought. When I had lunged at Cherry we both had tumbled roughly to the tiled floor. I landed above her with a loud crash. With my body still being weak I was having trouble fighting her. Cherry got a hold of my neck and squeezed, I flail my arms around struggling to pry her long nails away from my throat. No air was coming and the world was suddenly dizzy. I shove one last time and her grip lessens I cough and cough. I stumble to my feet and spot the button to call the nurse I click it desperately and a arm hooks around my leg dragging me down. I fall face forward, directly on my elbows with a hard sting. I kick my feet back and feel them connect with a jaw, Cherry hisses in pain. I hear the door opening and in a flash Cherry is up and helping me from the tiled floor.

 

The doctor stood at the door with a concerned look on his face, clipboard in hand. "Is everything alright in here ?"

 

Cherry digs her nails sharply into my back and I hiss inside. I glare at her but give a fake smile toward the doctor.

 

"I'm okay. I just fell out the bed, can you have my mom come back up here ? "He nods and with a grunt I'm sliding back in the uncomfortable bed. As he turns to leave I say coldly. "I'm not a snitch." And then I punch Cherry in the face with a sickening sound following.

 

The bell rings and I'm snapped out of my thoughts I get up with a groan. My body ached in pain I walk slowly out the door, rubbing my eyes.

 

"Ev !" A figure crashed into me with
