Derek's Reign

Chapter 4

-Macy P.O.V.-

“So, what are you going to do tonight?” Angel asks me.

I am currently swirling around in my chair at the desk. I have been answering all of Angels questions since she has been drilling me.

“I am going back to the hotel. I called up there on my break and I got it for the rest of the week.” I tell her as I am leaning back in my chair.

“What about your things?”

I sigh before I stop and turn towards my very worried friend. “I kept most of my things in my car along with important papers, so I have everything that I need. I also have money saved up so I can go and buy things that I need. I have always been prepared for this day.”

Angel looks down and sighs. I know she is trying not to cry because she does not understand how a father can be so cruel. I get up and go over to hug her to which she squeezes me back. I let her go and then shoo her away. I needed to go make my rounds and she needed to go home. I make sure all of my other patients are good before I go and check on Willow. She ended up scolding me for calling her Mrs. Because she said it made her feel old.

I walked in her room and saw that she was awake. I also noticed that Derek was in the room with Damien, Willow’s husband. “Hey, how are you feeling?” I ask her while she smiles at me.

“I am doing good. I must be honest with you as I am worried about you though.” I look at her confused wondering what she meant.

“What do you mean?” I ask her. While my eyebrow was raised.

“I am worried because of what happened to you earlier. I would love it if I knew that you were safe.” She told me and I found that she was being sincere. I wonder why she is worried about me though.

“I must ask, why are you so worried about me? I am just your nurse.” I ask her.

She chuckles at me while she shakes her head. “You are more than that, but you just don’t know it yet. Please take my sons number so he can be here when you come into work, okay?” She pleads with me.

I am not sure why, but I nod my head. There is something about her that makes me trust her. I know that she means well. I turn to Derek and he holds out his phone. I put my name and number in there and then call it, so he knows that he really has my number. I than take my leave as I head back to my desk.

Once I make my way back to the front desk, I see Brad waiting for me. I smile at him when I really want to tell him to piss off. We dated for about 8 months when I found out that he was cheating on me because I wouldn’t give it up to him. I am a virgin, and he gave me no reason to want him like that. He works in the hospital and that just means that he can come up here to bug me.

“Well, hey there sexy.” Brad says to me with a smile on his face. I roll my eyes at him while I sit down.

“What do you want, Brad?” I ask him harshly.

He smiles evilly at me as he leans on the counter of the desk. “I just wanted to come and say hey you.”

“Brad, when are you going to leave me alone? It has been about 3 months since I broke up with you and you won’t leave me alone. I want you to leave me alone.” I tell him with spunk in my voice.

“It may seem that I might have to break you down all over again.” He scolds me.

I freeze once he says those words because I broke up with him for more than cheating… He used to put his hands on me, and he would verbally ab**e me. It wasn’t enough that I was getting that from my father, but I had to deal with it from him. One day I found a backbone and left him. Ever since then he has been trying to get back into my life and I am getting sick and tired of it. I wish Angel was here so she could have my back.

He is making my skin crawl and I am starting to freak out a little bit. He has a way of making me feel smaller than I really am. I start to look around when his voice forces me to look at him.

“Why are you looking around? No one is here to save you.” I got up from my seat and he raised an eyebrow at me.

I don’t know how, but I made a run for it. He laughed darkly as he started to follow me, and I started to really freak out. I don’t want to know what he is going to do to me when he catches me. Then a thought went through my head. I bucked it towards Willows room since Derek hasn’t left yet and I know her husband there. I bust into her room causing her to jump a bit while Damien and Derek look at me wide-eyed. I than heard Brad’s voice.

“Help me, please.” I ask as tears start to stream down my face.

Derek jumps up and starts to walk over to me when Brad walks in the room. “Ah, I found you.” He sneered out.

I jumped and turned around while I started to take some steps backwards. I yelp once I hit someone, and I look up to see it is Derek. He wraps an arm around my waist which causes my body to shiver.

“I would like to know why you are in my mothers’ room and why you are scaring the nurse.” Derek questions Brad darkly. Before Brad could respond, Damien speaks.

“Yes, what are you doing in my wife’s room? If you know what is good for you than you will leave before my son handles you.” He also states darkly.

Brad looks at me and I could see the anger on his face. “This is not over.” He states before he walks out of the room.

That is when I break down in Derek’s hold and he holds me up. He turns me around, so my face is in his chest and I wrap my arms around him as I cry my eyes out. Why can I never catch a damn break??
