Revenge

Chapter Nine

Chase's POV

I was getting impatient waiting for the doctor to come out and inform me on Amy's condition. As if reading my thoughts, the nurse came out and told me that I could go in and see her now. I jumped out of my seat and walked as fast as possible to her room. I sat on a chair next to the bed she was in and held her hand. It fits perfectly, like it's meant to be in mine. I was informed that she has broken ribs, vaginal tears, dislocated jaw and one busted eye socket; along with bruises all over her body. My eyes were burning as I fight back the tears that were on the verge of falling out.

"I would like for her to stay overnight to monitor her."

"She needs plenty of rest for the next two weeks to help everything heal properly."

"Okay, doctor. Thank you."

With that said, the doctor and nurse left the room.

Jane's POV

I placed my bloody clothes along with all of Amy's in the fire pit in my backyard before taking a quick shower. I was exhausted, the bed was calling me name. I woke up the next morning from my slumber hearing voices downstairs; Chase and Amy must be back from the hospital.

"Good morning" I greet them as I head down the stairs to prepare breakfast.

"Good morning, Jane"

"I'm going to bring Amy upstairs to rest, I'll be right down afterwards."

I nod my head to Chase in understanding.

Amy's POV

I wake up and feel well rested, like I've been asleep for years. I turn to my side and see that it's 9PM. I rub my swollen eyes to get the crust out of them. Upon opening them again, the little girl is by me bedside.

"H-hello,Victoria?"

"Help me"

"What?"

"HELP ME!"

And with that, she disappeared.

I got out of bed, turned the light on, and searched for her. No luck.

What could she need help with? My thought was interrupted by a knock on my door.

"Hello sleeping beauty" Chase greets as he walks in with a tray of food.

"Please eat as much as you can, then call me to help you outside. We're going to have a bonfire tonight!"

I nod my head and give a weak smile before he walks out. I can't stop thinking about Victoria as I slurp on my soup. How could a dead girl need help? How did she die? Why is she asking me to help her? I think I'll have to explore the house for clues tomorrow when Jane leaves for work. At least trying to solve a mystery will keep me entertained since I have to wait two weeks before returning to the diner. 

I ate as much as possible, taking a long time due to my jaw still hurting. I text Chase and tell him I'm ready to go outside. It doesn't take long before he is standing in my room, placing one of his hoodies on me.

"I have my own clothes, you know?"

"I know" He smirks.

"I like when you wear my stuff though. It's so sexy."

And as always, he doesn't fail to make me blush. 

I shriek as he picks me up bridal style and carries me outside. Jane has the fire going and it looks so beautiful among the dark, chilly sky. I snuggle up against Chase and can't help but notice the smile on his face. He puts his strong arms around me and brings me closer to his chest. 

"Okay kids, this old lady is going to bed. Goodnight."

"Goodnight" We say in unison.
