That's not who I am!

Chapter 6

JANE'S POV

"There days Jane, Three days you have refused to speak to anyone. But I need you to speak to me so I can make the correct decision if it's safe for you to travel. So you need to talk to me, Jane. Do you understand?" Dr Vanguard says but I just close my eyes and pretend she isn't there. I don't want to talk to anyone. I don't even want to be here. I'm sick of it all. Since I read what people had been writing on social media, my face was plastered everywhere. I didn't want to talk to anyone. Just being related to murder was bad enough, but people saying I deserved to be raped and karma got my family before the monster struck. It was too much and I hated that everyone wouldn't leave me alone. I wish they would then I'd take myself out, I wouldn't be someone they had to deal with and no longer a problem. I'd be put out of my miserable perfetic life.

"Jane, please just talk to us" Layla pleads again but I don't bother responding. I hear Layla sighing followed by Cara saying "Okay, we get it you don't want to talk to anyone. That's okay, you need time to process stuff. But we are not going anywhere and you will get through this".

"Okay, well if you have no objections then we will be travelling in a few hours when nightfall happens. There isn't anything you need to worry about and I'll be with you every step of the way" Dr Vanguard says patting my hand.

"Baby girl, it's going to be okay," Liam says.

I open my eyes and grab my phone deciding I don't want to entertain anything. I open up f*******: to see if the local paper has a new post up. My face is plastered as there heading picture with a caption saying "Jane Nelson house targeted in an arson attack" Great I think that's going to lower the sale price.

"Don't worry about it. We got it under control" Luke says who is standing leaning on the bed rail next to my head of the bed. He watches over everything I read and that spot has become his spot in the room.

"Worry about what?" Liam asks "Jane just see the news about the house" Liam says as I scroll f*******: deciding I ain't going to read the comments this time. There all be the same anyway. But then I see an advertisement for a really pretty baby pink knitted woollen blanket I instantly like and want. I open it up and put it in the basket like a habit. I go through the checkout process until it says address and realise I ain't anywhere to send this. Not anywhere that's my own home. I know I'm going to stay with Layla she said so. But it's not my home. My life isn't my life anymore Tears well up in my eyes and I do my best to fight them off like I do each time. But this time they fall, and I can't stop them.

"It's okay" Cara says noticing first and takes my hand. Everyone stops chatting and looks at me as Dr Vanguard asks "Are you in any pain?".

"I looked after him after our parents died and this is how he repays me. destroyed my life!" I say as anger fills me up again and I dash my phone across the room. It's about to hit the wall when Aaron somehow manages to catch it. "I know, it's okay to be mad, it's okay to be upset. But we are here" Layla says.

"Then you're all stupid, you don't think when people realise your with me they won't come after all you too?" I say.

"That's what this trying to push us all away is about, your worried about us?" Layla asks.

"Sissy, you know who we are. You really think that's going to happen? It won't, trust me" Luke says. "Baby girl, no one is going to get to you. The police arrested someone who tried to gain access to you yesterday and one of my men had a word with someone else too. No one has come through that door" Liam says.

"And it's staying that way, your so used to handling things alone. It's time you leaned on us. You can't do this alone but with all of us, you're going to be okay" Cara says.

"It's not okay, I'm not okay" I shout.

"And that's okay, you can be not okay, you are allowed to be not okay. But one day you will be okay again. You just need to fight. Don't let the low lives win! Fight Jane, keep going" Dr Vanguard says.

"I'm tired of fighting!" I shout.

"I know baby girl, but remember what I said the first night you woke up.. remember what you told me about your parents and what they said. Believe them, lean on us and I promise you in time your see that everything will be alright again" Liam says

"I need something to get rid of this headache. It's there all the time" I say and with that, I close my eyes again.

"I can sort that, but I need you to tell me these things, Jane. Tell me when you are not feeling good well. Your body has been through a lot like you have. Be kind to yourself and let us help you" Dr Vanguard says before she turns to a nurse and runs off a list of instructions.

LIAM'S POV

"Okay we're all ready to go," My dad says walking into the room with Jack.

"I can't do it" Jane says and she sounds scared. If her voice didn't portray her then her eyes certainly scream fear.

"What's wrong?" Layla asks as I take Jane's hand. "I can't leave this room. Who knows who is hiding out there ready to take me out? Your all be at risk of being hurt" Jane says. "Baby girl, look at me" I say and she does so I continue saying "No one is going to hurt anyone. No one is going to hurt you either. Your be safe, keep hold of my hand and I swear you'll be safe"

"Joe may have been a crapoy brother but your my sister to. I've never given you reason to doubt me Jane. You know I haven't so trust me when I say we will all be safe. I take being a brother seriously do you understand?" Luke says.

"And I take father duties even more serious, we are all going to be okay" My dad says.

"And I've got the best team put together undercover. I think you have enough people to get you out of this hospital safely. No one will do anything" Jack says.

"Okay, let's go before I change my mind" Jane says and with that me and Layla help Jane get up and go get into the wheel chair. But Jane declines the wheel chair saying "It will just draw more attention. Layla your help keep me up right?"

"Here, take my arm. I'll definitely keep you up" I say and to my surpise Jane links her arm with mine.

Half hour later we are getting into a car that's at a delivery entrance avoiding all main exits completely. Chase texts saying everyone is waiting to link in to the parade of cars and everything is all good.

"How are you feeling?" I hear Dr Vanguard ask Jane as I watch my parents get into the car with Luke behind. The undercover police are ahead already in the car.

"Tired, but okay" Jane says "Okay, lay down rest your head on my lap if need be. There's pillows and a blanket if needed" Dr Vanguard says.

"Can we have music?" Jane says. "Of course baby girl, what would you like?" I ask followed by Layla saying "What avoid heating?"

"Anything just not the radio and the geating would be good" Jane says so I put my playlist on as Layla sorts the heating

"Okay, everyone ready?" I ask once the music is set up.

"I'm ready" Layla says.

"Yeah, we are good" Dr Vanguard says as I look in the rear view mirror and see Jane give a thumbs up. I flash my headlights to give the signal we are good to go and then wait for the car ahead to start moving with that we are on our way.

The first hour into the drive everyone was lost in there own thoughts. mine was mainly on the surroundings as I stayed focus making sure no one was following us.

My phone ringing broke through the music and I see it was Luke.

I answered it saying "Your on loud speaker" So he knew weather to speak in code or not.

"Good, I wanted to see how Jane is feeling" Luke says

"I'm okay" Jane says "Thats great Sissy, let us know if you need to stop through. We are not far from a service station if you need a break" Luke says.

"I'm fine" Jane says. "Everyone else good?" Luke asks and everyone says there good.

"I'm going to try and sleep. You all stop if you need to" Jane says

"You sure your okay?" Layla says. "Yeah Sissy, no lieing we can stop if needed" Luke says. "I'm fine, please stop asking me that" Jane says. "I can give back to asking for a date baby girl" I say trying to listen the mood. "I'd prefer than over being asked if I'm okay every ten minutes" Jane says which makes layla laugh as I smile and Luke says "In that case, Liam you better plan tge. Best date ever!" "I didn't say I'd say yes" Jane says as Dr Vanguard settles a pillow and Jane unbuckles her seat belt to lay down.

"Thats true. But still Jane I won't allow my son to do no half dates" my mum pipes in.

"I know, you raised good people Cara" Jane says

The rest of the journey Luke stayed on the phone and we all chatted away between cars. Jane and Layla both had a little nap. Dr Vanguard had us stop half way for everyone to have a breather whilst doing some checks on Jane they were all good. But I was relieved when we reached the driveway and the guards let us through the gates. I know then I could relax knowing my baby girl would be safe for sure here with me.

I park the car outside the entrance as I say "Were here" Layla stirs but Jane is still sleeping. We know she is sleeping because she is snoring slightly. Dr Vanguard taps ber arm gently as she says "Jane, it's time to wake up and get you settled inside".

"The nurse should be there waiting if you want a break" I say "No, I'm good" Dr Vanguard says as Jane stirs saying "I'm awake. I just need a minute to wake up.

"Take all the time you need" I say as I see Luke and my parents getting out the car behind us followed by Jack then getting out the car ahead.

"Dr Vanguard I've got you set up in the bedroom next to Jane's bedroom. If you require anything I'm opposite Jane's bedroom. I'll have go on and have us all drinks made" Layla says then she opens the door to get out as Dr Vanguard says "Thanks" followed by Jane saying "Can I have the famous got chocolate please?" which makes Layla say as she says "I'll have luke make you the famous hot chocolate. Then Jane slowly sits up and I take that my cue to get out the car.

Chase is then pulling up as he was behind the police cars which left us at the entrance.

"I'll deal with chase" Luke says "After drinks" I say knowing my baby girl wants his got chocolate and what she wants she gets.
