Something was broken, that much she knew. Because just bruising a rib or two could not possibly feel this horribly bad. And if this is what a bruised rib felt like? She never wanted to break anything in her body. It wasn't just the pain, that she could deal with, but the sensation running through her body from lack of air was making her head swimmy and when she did take a breath... It felt like she was going to die.
So when her saving grace... Or better yet her saving god told her to stay calm and take steady breaths while he checked on the now passed out ric, she wanted to laugh, if only she could she thought.
"Ok" the man told her walking lightly back over to her, so he didn't ajar the bruised or broken bones anymore. " I think he's out cold for awhile..." He paused for a moment taking a deep breath, and crouching down beside her.
He wasn't sure what took place before he heard the voice and the hits this jerk had done. The guy was twice the size of the small brunette that was currently laying on her side holding her stomach. His fist clenched into balls on each side of this knees was he looked at her. The guy that she with was strong though that much he knew but he wasn't sure how bad she was hurt. and she couldn't be much older then 20.. 21 maybe he couldn't get a good look at her face, the guy she was with though.. He had to be a lot 30 or so. Shaking his head he knew they had to leave soon. That guy wasn'ts going to stay knocked out all night.
"Hey.. Don't worry" he tells the small women in pain. "I'm.. I'm going to call an ambulance ok?" He said nervously. He hated that he was going to have to deal with the questioned from the police that would come aswell but this wasn't about him.
"No!" Elizabeth said and then groaned as her eyes shot opened then. She coulnt let that happen. That's all she needed. Tons of fuss over something she didn't know how to do with yet. And cops, she swallowed that's all she needed.
Her response to his statement made his eye brows raise little. Here was this girl hurt and in pain from the way she was clenching and laying on her side and well she didn't want medical help? That didn't make sense this guy needed to be dealt with and the cops would be the way to do it for her.
" Look" he said softly starting again, rubbing his hand over his face. " Your hurt, I.. I don't know what happened before I came.." He paused taking a breath trying to control his anger. " But you.. You need medical attention.. Your ribs.. And well I heard the slap, your going to need x-rays.. Make sure nothing is broken" he countered.
she couldn't let that happen, she would have to bite through the pain till she got back to her place where she could then deal with this. There had to be another way. Shaking her head she bit her lip and tried to get up, but the pain was to much.
" No" she said softly to him " I can't.. Just no cops ok? No medics or anything ok?" She pleaded looking up at him for the first time since he saved her, her breath still catching when looking at him in the eyes.
He froze. His eyes locked with hers. Her eyes were amazing he thought as he tried not to fall on his ass from surprise. He didn't till now get a good look at her face. Her skin a pale white, and her blue eyes were like the water on the island. Warm, clear- so clear he could see the pain and pleading reflecting in them.
She sighed and smiled a little, she could see he was a determined man, she just couldn't let this happen, she didn't want to have to tell Carly and Sonny what happened at least not yet. "Look" she started out " mr...?"
"Jason" he said smirking little. Her voice was cute he thought.
"Jason" she went on " I have a friend who's a doctor.. I just.. I just need to get back to my place and ill be ok. " She said hoping he would go with it. When she could see he was about to say something she hurried on "please? Its ok really" she winced in pain. The cold from the night air was kind of acting as ice for her face but her ribs were another story.
Jason stopped and narrowes his eyes, if she didn't want the cops involved or if she didn't want to go to the hospital he could respect that. Hell he understood that. But he couldn't help but wonder why she didn't want to press charges againest this asshole.
Nodding at her he pushed she hair out of her face. He would help her go where ever she wantes to go. But his gut was telling him something was off.
"Ok" he nodded his head again voiceing his decision. " Ill help you go where ever you want to go. Are you sure though? You look like your in a lot of pain. Can you move?" He asked gently. Moving up onto his feet as she started to shift her body and groan in pain.
" Yeah I'm sure, I just want to get out of here."She answered biting her lip from crying out in pain as he helped her up.
"What about him?" Jason asked moving his head over his shoulder toward rics still un moving body.
Shaking her head Elizabeth looked down at the ground not meeting his eyes" just leave him" she said
"What?!" Jason answered before he could stop himself. " He hit you. He beat you!" Jason ranted before he could cought himself. He wasn't going to get into this. It wasn't his place.
"He's more trouble then its worth"
She took a breath and one last look at ric before putting on a smile and looking at Jason, who's body was holding all her weight at this time " I umm I don't live far from here. Just about a block to the right, right after the docks" she informed him.
Nodding that he heard her he started to help her move up the stairs still looking at ric. Something wasn't right. She was a young girl, pretty, on the docks at night with a much older man who was calling her horrible names and from what he heard was pissed about not getting laid. And now she didn't want to go to the hospital or get the cops involved. Didn't she want to press charges againest him? And to top it off a 'friend' would patch her up at her place? He didn't want to judge of jump to conclusions but...
"Are you in trouble" he asked her not knowing why he cared, but there was something genuine about her. He could see it in your eyes.
Elizabeth paused refusing to meet his eyes " no" she stated " just a bad night" she finished as she started walking again.
Her asnwer confirmed it for him. She was a stunning lookoing girl and from what he could sense from her she was nice, surely she could have found another job prefession. They walked slowly and gently till they got to where she lived. He should have known she lived somewhere around here as he stood in front of the bar/ rooms with a sign that said 'Jakes' girls in her 'line of work' frequent places like these all the time. Not that he was judging he understood bills had to get paid.
As he helped her to her room and un-locked the door she smiled and bit her lip. Not only from the pain but also from nerves. He welked her in and helped her onto her bed. " Umm thanks for helping my tonight... And for not calling the cops. Really I can't thank you enough" she spoke in a hushed voice. Less air she used the better she ribs felt.
" Are you sure you still don't want to go to the hospital? I can take you" he offers still not sure why he cares.
She shook her head, the bruise a nice bright purple on her cheek " no I'm going to call my friend.. He'll help me. But thanks" she finished
He nodded, not pleased with the answer " ok, well.. Here" he says walking over to her desk and grabing a pen and paper and writting something down. He walked back over to her as she laid on the bed and set down the paper. "If you need anything... If your friend cant come and help you. Or if that guy bothers you again... Just call me ok?"
She blinked she eyes a few times and stared up at him with a slight blush. There weren't many men who would offer that."Thanks" she smiles " but I don't think he'll be a problem anymore." She finished.
He nodded rubbing his forehead with his left hand. " Ok,.." He trailed not not wanting to leave her for some reason. " Do you want me to wait to see if your friend can come? I could wait till he gets here if you want. ". He pushed on. He wanted to see how this friend was and if she would be ok.
" No I'll be ok but thank you jason" she said taking his hand beifly in hers.
With a final nodd he left the room and walked down the the bar to wait. He wanted to make sure she was ok.
After about 20 he looks up from the booth he was in to see a figure he new all to well in a tailored suite and a bag making his way up to her room.
His eyes narrowed. This just got interesting.
So when her saving grace... Or better yet her saving god told her to stay calm and take steady breaths while he checked on the now passed out ric, she wanted to laugh, if only she could she thought.
"Ok" the man told her walking lightly back over to her, so he didn't ajar the bruised or broken bones anymore. " I think he's out cold for awhile..." He paused for a moment taking a deep breath, and crouching down beside her.
