I wake up and instantly feel cold where Drake was lying next to me moments before. I’m alone now and I’m in my pj’s. Drake must’ve put clothes on me. I try move but pain shoots through my shoulders and back, I let out a cry. I try move slowly to the side of the bed, my whole body is stiff and in pain.
He must’ve hit me really hard against the door. I think I need to take a shower to loosen the muscles or something; my mom probably has pain meds somewhere I could take.
I eventually stand and slowly walk to bathroom. I hear people talking in the lounge and I instantly recognize Ronny and Jax laughing and chatting to each other. I walk down the passage with my hand leaning on the wall just to help me walk, my back really hurts.
“Hey! There’s our little spitfire! Drake explained to us where you were, you should’ve just told us when we asked.” Ron shouts from the sofa she’s lounging on.
“Yeah I know... sorry guys.” I’m in too much pain to stand and argue with them. I don’t see Drake, only Ronny and Jax are in the lounge watching old episodes of South Park.
“He had to help out at the house with something but he will pick you up for school tomorrow Lexi. Your mom let us in before she went to work, said you were in your room.” Jax says obviously seeing that I was looking for Drake. I’m kind of relieved he’s not here.
“We checked on you and you were out cold so we just waited for you out here.” Ronny says.
“Thanks guys,” I say as I walk slowly to the kitchen to get some water and find some medicine to take for the pain.
“Even though I know the full story now, I still want to throw you over my leg and give you a good spanking for disobeying me.” Jax says creeping up on me in the kitchen.
“I’m sorry Jax…” I say as I look down at the glass of water on the table praying that he’s teasing me, I think if Jax did hurt me he might just break me completely.
I don’t see him come around the counter because I’m so deep in thought.
“It’s okay Lexi, I just missed you that’s all.” He says as he comes up to me and pulls me in for a tight hug, I yelp out in pain. He quickly releases me and holds me gently keeping me from falling to the ground.
“I heard a cry? What happened?” Ronny yells as she comes running into the kitchen looking at me confused.
“I’m not sure, I just hugged her and she screamed, what’s wrong Lexi? Are you hurt?” Jax asks clearly worried about me.
“No…it’s nothing… I’m fine…” I stutter, I don’t want them to know what Drake did, as I try to move away from him and get back on my feet I hit my hip on the counter.
“Ahhh... fuck…” I cry out again leaning over the counter trying to hold myself up.
“No, something’s wrong Lexi! Tell us so we can help you!” Ronny shouts at me, I shiver and grimace at her anger bringing back the memory of how mad Drake was with me.
I start to stand but Ronny comes up to me and rips my shirt open, buttons fly everywhere causing more pain, I shudder and cover my chest even though I have a bra on as she pulls the shirt off my arms.
How the fuck did she do that? The material was thin but not that thin…
“What the fuck Ronny!” I shout at her.
“Oh… my… God …” I look over at Ronny as she whispers, she’s staring at my back, now she has tears in her eyes.
I look over to Jax whose face is red with anger, he’s tensing his jaw trying to control himself.
“Who did this to you baby? That friend of yours? Did they do this? I swear I will kill them for touching your body!” he shouts and I wince again at the power radiating from him. He holds my cold body against his warm chest in a protective stance.
“Please just help me, it hurts so badly.” I cry into Jax’s chest.
“Okay baby I’m gonna pick you up now okay?” I nod into his chest.
“Ronny go run a bath so long while I bring her through.” I hear Ronny’s footsteps down the passage.
“Baby you trust me right? You know I won’t hurt you, let me take care of you, I’m going to help you into the bath okay? I won’t look and I’ll just help you where you can’t reach. Is that okay Lex?” he asks me so kindly. I know he would never hurt me and I feel so protected in his arms. I know he’s waiting for me to ask if Ronny can rather do it but I know Jax and I know he wants to do it so he can show me that I can trust him and I do trust him completely. It’s funny how Drakes version of taking care of me differs from Jax's.
They seem to be the total opposite of one another, Drake who seems like the sweet gentle boy wanted to take care of me by being intimate and sexual making me forget about the pain he caused then there's Jax who seems to be the bad boy sexual type yet he's so gentle and even though the way he wants to take care of me is indeed intimate, it’s definitely not on the same level that Drake handled me with.
