My enemy. My everything.
006
Gerard let go of Kitzie’s arms once Mikey discovered the truth about what happened that night. Kitzie didn’t try to get away from them she just sat on the couch looking down at her lap with a totally blank face. Mikey took a long breath and looked up at her face. Mikey scanned his eyes over the bruises, cuts, scrapes. He stared at all the wounds the men left when they were doing sick things to her.
In the moment no insult or shove or name calling mattered, Mikey knew that making her ok was the only thing worth anything. They could wake up and hate the very existence of each other but not right now. Now to Mikey she was an innocent victim of a shocking crime that she would never forget and maybe she would never get over.
“Kitzie…” Mikey said gently but couldn’t get her to look up. He put on the most gentle voice he could. “Kitz honey. Can you look at me please?” Kitzie looked up at the boy in front of her slowly with tears running down her face and Mikey’s face softened so much she barely recognised him. She tried to say something but all she could come out with was a long and deep and shaky breath. “I’m going to take you to the hospital now. And we can call the police and you can report this ok?”
Kitzies eyes went wide and she told him no. But Mikey wasn’t going to accept it. “Come on. Let’s get you in my car and you can think about it on the way.” Mikey stood up and held his hand out for her but she would take it and sat still, only shaking her head. “You have to go to the hospital ok? Your hurt and I don’t know how bad it is…. Inside.”
“He’s right. You have to go and make sure everything is ok.” Gerard said. Kitzie just shook her head in defiance.
Mikey sighed “Don’t make me force you ok? I really don’t want to upset you any worse but you aregoing to the hospital.”
Kitzie’s face told them that she was disgusted at the thought of going anywhere where people were. She bit her lip trying not to cry. Then she glanced up at Mikey and back down straight away. “I d-don’t wanna go Mikey. I just want to sit here. And then. I can… go away. Later. Not now. Please.” She looked into his eyes and Mikey almost stopped pushing it. But he knew he couldn’t and she had to go so he had to close his eyes for a minute.
“Kitz I’m going to take you out to the car now. And we’re going to the hospital to see some doctors and nurses ok?”
Kitzie began to cry softly. She knew she couldn’t argue with Mikey anymore. He could hurt her, he could throw her out of his house and he could tell everyone that she ran to his house and into his arms in a bra and underwear… And he could tell everyone why she did that. Kitzie knew he didn’t care about her at all he just wanted to get her to the hospital so she would be someone elses problem. Why wouldn’t he just leave her there?
“Kitz?” Mikey asked and she looked up at him, wiping the tears away with the back of her hand. “Everything is going to be ok.” He told her but her face told him that she didn’t believe him. “Do you know why everything is going to be ok?” She sat still for a moment and then shook her head while looking down at her feet. “Because I’m going to make sure everything is ok.”
Kitzie didn’t know what he meant or why he would say that. It was confusing and it made it seem like he didn’t hate her at all.

Mikey and Gerard helped Kitzie to the car even though she didn’t need much help walking. Mikey didn’t worry about trying to find her a pair of pants that fit since she was wearing his long t shirt. He just made sure the blanket was wrapped around her body warmly and clipped her seatbelt for her and got in and started the car. He looked over at her frightened face once more and then began driving to the hospital.

It took 15 minutes to get there and the whole trip had been basically silent except for a few little winces of pain when they went over a speedbump too fast. Once Mikey parked the car when they arrived he tried to think of the right thing to say but nothing came to mind. He just opened the door of the car and went to her side to help her out.
He put his arm around her when she was out of the car and walked her slowly inside the waiting room and sat her down on a chair while he went and talked to the emergency staff. He waited at the window while the woman paged some of the doctors and Mikey turned around to look at Kitzie and check on her. She looked so broken and defeated. He saw how she scanned the emergency room and looked at all the men in there warily. And worse, Mikey noticed all the creepy men who were looking at her. Mikey’s face went sour when he saw some dude in his late 30’s wink at her and lick his lips. Mikey hoped she didn’t see that, but when her looked back at her and saw her expression a look of fear and disgust, he knew she had.
Once he was finished with the staff nurses were already coming out to take her into an examination room since her situation was so awful. Mikey went through the doors with her and followed where they were taking her. They laid her down on a hospital bed. Kitzie was terrified. She was shaking like a leaf and wouldn’t make eye contact with any of the staff and kept flinching whenever they tried to touch her. Mikey was getting angry at them for not paying attention to how much they were scaring her with all their questions and getting too close and surrounding her. She was tearing up fast and her eyes were searching for Mikey in between all the hospital staff.
“What happened to you hon?”
“Where does it hurt?”
“What time did they attack you?”
“How many were there?”
The questions were incessant. “Enough!” Mikey yelled and caught everyone’s attention. He shoved past a doctor and went to Kitzie’s side and took her hand in his. She turned on her side towards him and hid her face in his side. “Can’t you see you’re scaring her to death?” Mikey looked down at Kitzie and ran his hand over her hair and down her cheek gently a few times. “Its ok baby. Shhh.. its ok.”
The doctors and nurse were quiet a moment while she calmed down then one doctor gently asked Mikey. “Can you please tell me what time your girlfriend was attacked?”

Notes
Sorry about how long it took for me to post this. This one is short than usual.Please comment and tell me what u think.
I don't know if Mikey will always be nice or if he will go back to old ways. What do u think?
Why do I always get caught up in the books updated years ago? I'm intrigued and it hasn't been updated since 2015...
