Chapter Seven

Della

The smell hit me as we walked into the emergency waiting room. I would have backed out if it wasn’t for Finn’s hand in mine. Parker strode through the doors that led to the emergency area. He stopped in front of us, his brows low, his face scowling. “Lan wants to get outta here, even fuckin’ knowing they’ve suggested he stay the night. They’ve patched him up, but the dickhead won’t listen to me, so I’m bringing the car around. Elvis is still in surgery.” He glanced at his watch. “He should be out shortly, and then a doctor was gonna come out to let his family know. Once you’d said the women were coming, I told them Della’s his sister. They’ll talk to her.”

Me? I was Elvis’s sister? I guess it didn’t matter who Parker picked. They needed someone to help, and I was it.

“Right, thanks, brother.” Dallas clasped him on the back, then Parker made his way to the sliding doors, grumbling under his breath about Lan being an idiot.

We took our seats in the waiting area. It wasn’t as busy as I thought it would be. Lissa and Dallas sat opposite me, talking softly. Finn chose to sit in the seat next to me. He glanced down, so I did and noticed my leg bounced up and down. I stopped it, though I hadn’t even realised I’d been doing it.

“You all right?” he asked in a quiet, gruff voice.

“Sure.” I nodded.

“Del?”

“I just, um, hate hospitals.”

“Why?”

“Well, not really hospitals, but doctors… needles.” Jimmy, when he’d had me stripping back in Sydney, used to inject me on some occasions with some concoction, so I was more pliable and wouldn’t fight back.

“You hate needles?” He paused, his teeth grinding together. “That fucker drugged you?” he guessed.

“Sometimes,” I whispered. I hadn’t told Lissa how much he’d done it. I didn’t want her to worry so had fought the withdrawals on my own. That was another reason that after we were safe, I’d been so moody and out of it at times.

“Fuck,” he clipped. “That why you didn’t want to get checked out after?”

“Some of it.” I nodded. “Another part, I didn’t want to be touched.”

Why did I admit that to him?

“You haven’t seen a doctor since before?”

“I know I need to, should have, but… no, I will one day.”

My leg started to bounce again. Finn’s hand came down on it, and I stopped. “Want me to come with you?”

Did I?

“Um, maybe?”

He studied me. “Be back.” Then he got up and went to the nurses’ station. What was he doing? I hoped he was up there to just find out about his brother, but I had a feeling he wasn’t. When the nurse looked over his shoulder at me, I was certain he wasn’t. I almost swallowed my tongue from sucking in a deep breath as fear filled me from my toes to the top of my head.

I watched as the nurse nodded, then disappeared out the back. Standing, I took a step towards the exit.
