Chapter 6 Six
Astra's POV.
My beating heart immediately quietened as I looked at my Savior in front of me. We might not see eye to eye because of Cole but I was pretty sure that he was the best person to save me out of this mess.
I didn't have to lose my life before I knew what was right and neither did he have to do too much before we came to a conclusion that he was the only person who could save me out of this mess
My head was spinning wildly as I tried to come to terms with the fact that there might be a lot of things that I was not just putting into consideration and that were not supposed to be.
I deserved to have the kind of love that was going to last forever. I deserved to be shown something different from what everybody had given me a glimpse of.
It wasn't because I didn't have enough on my hands. Instead it was because I just had not taken control of a lot of things and I was leaving it to chance.
There was only one thing that I could do and that was the fact that it was going to take a long time before I would ever trust any other person.
I didn't know what happened with that so that's backup came and a lot of bullets were spraying in the air but I knew that I was hoisted and dumped in a car and before I knew what would happening, everything was done
I also didn't have the time nor did I have the energy to ask many questions because I was still shaking from the entire incident.
I was only contemplating what this could have meant if he had not come at the time that he did.
I would probably have been dead forever and nobody would remember that I ever existed.
I looked him in the face and Drew him closer. There was only a limit to the amount of annoyance that I could feel about a person especially when they had been nothing but good to me.
Some people might think that I didn't have any iota of sense but I knew what I was doing and I was hoping for the best and nothing more.
There was no reason in hell for me to be angry at the person who had shown me nothing but care even while I was rebellious.
"How are you feeling?" Vincent asked, staring at me through the rear view mirror.
I knew that my brother would be almost pissing in his pants by the time he found out that I had made a colossal mistake. He wasn't going to take it to me that I could have done it on purpose but he had a way of always coming to terms with a few things that must have happened behind the scenes and I loved it.
"I'm fine. I'll be fine as Time goes on." I confessed.
I was not going to be a cry baby about the situation that I could have easily walked out of or which I have brought upon myself because then I would be nothing short of the same person that I was accusing others of being.
I wanted to process everything from start to finish and then only then would I be able to form a personal opinion.
In this case if I kept throwing any around it was going to be based on hearsays and not exactly what needs to be done.
"You don't have to be ashamed about any of the things that must have happened. The only thing that I need you to do is to focus your attention on what truly matters and that is getting to a hospital and..."
My head shot up. "What do you mean by that?"
"Exactly what I meant. I know that you need to see a therapist no matter whatever you say and I'm not going to budge on that. So we are going to the hospital and your brother will be catching up."
I looked him in the eyes, shooting him my meanest look. Just because I said that he deserved all the accolades didn't mean that he could just make choices while I folded my arms and watched.
At some point I was going to get tired if I was being honest with myself and I didn't want to take that risk at all. All I needed right now was some time to process everything that was happening and after that I could contemplate other things.
"You don't want to do that. You cannot take me anywhere without my consent. I am not your child nor your wife." I hissed.
In our world it was always A display of power and meeting people wouldn't think that they owned you was a luxury that I never thought that anybody could comprehend.
It was almost like the more you came close to them the more they wanted to possess and dominate everything that you represented but that was not going to fly with me so he better shoved that down his ass and listen to me when I said that I meant every word coming out of my mouth.
"I'm sorry that I'm not taking the risk with your life no matter what you say. If you are not pleased with it, when the doctor finishes assessing you you can leave. I have never struggled with anybody's will." He said.
I hated anything he was trying to put on me because it was just a way to get me silent and make me look unreasonable.
"Stop the car right now." I ordered.
He could probably hate me to the end of time but it would be written that one way or the other I managed to fight for myself. I wasn't going to fold my arms and just clap for him when I knew what was at stake.
"Now you are being dramatic. How the hell do you suppose that you'll be able to handle more of this? You don't need to prove anything to anybody!"
"Exactly the same reason why I'm deciding to take a break and just focus on what I believe is more important and that is getting to be treated with so much kindness and without judgment!"
"I'm not treating you without judgment. You are the one misinterpreting everything that I have been doing for you and making it look like it's something great. If you are not ready to play by the rules then by all means you can get the hell out. But I would rather you hate me than for me to see your blood splattered all over!"
