Coltons pov.
I was sitting in a meeting with my brothers and dad as we tried to pinpoint a person who happens to owe us a lot of money when my phone vibrated. Now the only people who would be texting me are one of my brothers, dad, Ace or one of our men but seeing as all my brothers are with me and so is dad and our men usually contact levi or dad and not to mention Ace is pissed with me since I didn't go to school for the past two days. I was confused as to who the hell was contacting me at ten at night.
When I pulled my phone out of my pocket to check I was confused to see an unknown number and then even more confused when I read the message
Unknown number - colton sorry to text you so late but I am in need of some help - silent killer
When I saw the end of the message I cursed getting some looks from my brothers. I quickly texted her back ignoring them.
Colton - hey kid what happened, you ok? Where are you?
Kid - I am not doing too good. I'm trying not to pass out at the moment. Got into a bit of an altercation.
Colton - ok, I am going to send someone to go get you kid try not to pass out.
I cursed again when I got no response. I quickly took my brother's laptop from him and started trying to track her phone using her phone number. As I was doing this my brothers were just staring at me looking as if I had grown two heads. "you ok bro?" Matteo asked "No, I can't pinpoint her location, what the fuck" I said while I tried again to pinpoint her location "who's location are you trying to find?" Matteo spoke again confusion evident in his voice "this girl from the ring she moved to around here recently I had met her before though and she is always looks so beat up so I gave her my number to contact me if she ever needed help" I answered as I typed away at the keyboard. "Why are you so worried about some scars and bruises she fights, wouldn't she get them from there?" Xavier said, sounding like the smart ass he is. "She is ranked number one and the way they look there is no way they are from fighting" I said no one spoke after that. Finally I got her location and I immediately called Ace even if he is mad at me he always picks up.
"Hey Ace, I need your help man" I said as soon as he picked up
"Sure what you need?" he said sounding a bit confused
"A friend of mine is in some trouble and I need you to go pick her up there is a high chance she is passed out at the moment. All i know is she is hurt I don't know the extent of her injuries" I said
"Ok man whats her location"
"I will send it to you in a second, call me when you get her to your house ok" I said then hung up. I sent him the location and then got back to the meeting I was currently in.
Ace's pov.
After getting the location from Colton I quickly made my way to whomever this person was, since the dumbass did not tell me her name. After about ten minutes of driving well to be honest speeding I got to the street he gave me and slowly started to drive down it. Just as I was about to get to the end of the street I saw a tiny body laying on the ground. Assuming this is the person Colton was talking about, I got out of my car and ran over to the person only to be surprised when I saw it was Charlie and not only that but she was covered in blood and looked like she got the shit beat out of her.
As carefully as I could, I picked her up and placed her in my car. I then quickly got in and started the drive back to my house but the whole time I was driving I was wondering what the hell happened to her and also, how did she know Colton?
After about a twenty minute drive due to the fact I was trying not to go too fast and cause her any pain by the movements of the car. Normally I would be speeding but her wounds don't look like they will kill her anytime soon. From what I can see she has a few deep gashes but they are not bleeding that bad. But the big gash on her forehead is what worries me because depending on how she got it she probably has a concussion.
As soon as I pulled up to my house I went to her side and carefully took her out of the car.
I brought her upstairs and placed her on my bed before going to the bathroom to grab my first aid kit.
As I was opening up the kit I saw her eyes start to flutter open. After a few seconds her eyes opened then immediately closed due to the lights in the room. Once she had finally adjusted to the light she did something I was not expecting she spoke.
"Wh-where a-a-am I" she said with a stutter that was honestly really cute in my opinion.
"Hey you are at my place colton sent me to go help you, my name is Ace if you don't remember I helped you out in the hallway when you had that panic attack also I have almost all of my classes with you" I answered kinda blabbering a bit but immediately shutting up when she spoke again.
"O-oh" she answered looking around the room
"Um you have a few gashes that need to be stitched up" she nodded and went to sit up but I stopped her "just lay down it will be easier to stitch them up"
"y-yeah" she answered, fixing her position.
As I was cleaning up the gash on her forehead I decided to ask what happened to her.
"Hey charlie I was wondering what happened to you to look like this" I asked as I was placing the bandage on the freshly done stitches.
"Wrong place wrong time" she said going back to using sign. I am pretty sure she was lying but I just let it slide for Colton to deal with later. Speaking of Colton, I have to call him once I am done.
-tad bit later-
Once I had finished I asked if she needed anything. All she asked for was a glass of water which I easily got for her. But when she sat up to drink it I noticed her clutching her ribs.
"Can I see" I asked pointing to her ribs
"They are fine just a bit bruised" she furrowed her brows trying to think "they are not that bad don't worry" she said wincing when she accidentally bumped them when putting down her cup
"You sure" I asked unsure about her answer, she nodded in response.
"I have to go call Colton to tell him I found you, why don't you get some sleep?" she nodded her head and I took that as my time to leave the room.
Once I left the room I immediately called Colton. It only took him like ten seconds to pick up surprisingly, he usually takes forever to pick up.
"Hey Colt I got her" I said as I plopped down onto the couch in my living room
"How is she doing?" he asked
"she said she's fine, she's got a few cuts here and there and her ribs are bruised at least that's what she told me, she wont let me see them and I don't want to push her."
"Ok try to keep her there and I will come see her in the morning unless she wants to leave. Dont force her. I will probably see her eventually in the ring."
"Ok, also just so you know I have met her before"
"Really? How?" he asked surprised
"She just started at our school, I helped her when some kids were picking on her in the hallway, she had a panic attack and I helped calm her down. I actually wanted to talk to you about her but you never came to school." I said the last part with a bit of an edge
"That is so unlike her, she seems so confident in the ring." he trailed off a bit before speaking again "wait why did you want to talk to me about her?"
"Well for starters once you see past the hoodie she looks almost identical to Gray and looks like you guys" I said, sounding a bit unsure of what I was saying.
After I said that there was a long pause before Colt took a deep breath and spoke "wh-what's her name Ace?" he asked me his voice sounded a bit unsteady
"Her name is Charlie" when I said her name I heard him take a big breath of air
"Um, new plan: keep her at your house, don't let her leave, but also don't scare her. Please just say to stay so I can come and make sure she is ok. Because if this is who I am hoping it is I won't let her out of my grasp again." This got me curious as to who she could be. Because I have never heard him talk with so many different emotions in his voice.
'Wait didn't he have a sister named Charlie?'
