Addicted

Chapter 18

DeAndre P.O.V

As I sped my way down Faucet Rd, all I saw was steam rising from my ears. I couldn't wait to get my hands on Andrew. And I couldn't wait to finally help Raylen get clean.

I walked up to the front door, and kicked it down. I yelled Raylen's name all through the house and I never heard a response. Until I reached the closet.

There laid Raylen, eyes shut, purple bruise on her left eye, 3 long scratches on her right cheek, a big red bruise on her left arm, and dry blood on her left leg. I just prayed she was only sleep, and not worse.

"It's going to be ok" I soothed her as I laid her down in the back seat. I shut the door and made my way back inside the house, with a new mission. Once I found him, all hell broke loose.

I punched him dead in his face, kneed him in the stomach, and manhood area , and repeatedly kicked his side, until I thought that was enough.

I left him laying in the middle of the bedroom floor, and went back outside to the car, and drove to the hospital.

Once I arrived there, I picked Raylen up bridal style and frantically ran through the front doors.

"Please help me! somebody!"

"What's the problem sir?" a nurse approached me.

"My friend has been abused and she needs help" She nodded and sat Raylen down in a wheel chair and rolled her away from me. After about 5 long hours of no information, a tall white man, with black slick hair, and glasses on, walkes towards me, Cassandra, and Jaden, who I managed to call in those 5 hours.

"May I speak with you all?" He asked. We all nodded as he continued to speak.

"Ms. Ora has a fractured rib and a bruised arm. However, she is doing ok, but we're going to keep an eye on her for the next 2 days. When she eventually does return home, she needs non stop attention".

"Ok, but can we see her?"

"Yes, but one visitor at a time"

"Cassandra you first"

Cassandra P.O.V

"Hey" I said as I approached Raylen's hospital bed and saw her hooked up to the iv.

"Cassandra, why did this have to happen to me? I'm a good person. I make good grades, I have a nice career, and then I just had to ruin it!" She suddenly started to cry, and that's when my sister senses kicked in.

"Raylen Serenity Ora, don't you dare blame yourself. You did nothing wrong. Andrew knew what he was doing by sucking you into this deceitful game. Your beautiful, smart, strong, and will get over this".

"How do you know"

"Because I know you"

"What if I can't get cocaine out my system, and I become a crack head"

"We're getting you help as soon as you leave here"

"I'm scared"

"I'm never going to leave your side"

"I love you so much Cassandra. I'm lucky to have a best friend like you" She stopped crying and smiled.

"I love you too"

DeAndre P.O.V

"Hey" I said stepping into Raylen's room, once Cassandra left out.

"Hey"

"How you feeling"

"Numb" She giggled.

"Oh"

"Thanks DeAndre"

"For What?"

"For caring enough about me, to save my life"

"Oh, no problem"

"I'll never be able to pay you back"

"It's ok, really" I chuckled. She got off the bed and grabbed the rolling iv, machine thingy and walked towards the bathroom.

"Need help?" I asked.

"Jeez, DeAndre, I'm not cripple" We both laughed. When she finished in the bathroom and walked out of it, the iv cord was right in front of her foot, and I knew she was going to trip. So right before she began falling I held her back by her waist and turned her around to face me.

"Just can't get enough of saving me, huh?" She whispered, since we were face to face, and it was no point in speaking in a regular level voice.

"I'll save you forever, if I have too" And with that being said I leaned even closer until my our lips reached each other's. She took no time in kissing me back. My grandmother always told me "When you find a girl that gives you headaches, makes you want to shout at her, is beautiful on the inside and the out, and whenever you see her, you just see a wedding ring; Make her yours" And I swear that quote fits Raylen perfectly, but there was one thing missing from Grandma's saying. I parted from Raylens lips.

"I want you to be mine"
