Darkness Chapter 50
CandiceIt's been two months since my break down with Laynie. Two months of constant work, two months of getting closer and closer with mom and two months of missing Austin. Every fiber in my heart is broken because of that man but I have found other ways of making each and every day worth getting out of bed.Mom and I have grown closer in all this. She is starting to accept that her leg will just never be the same again. We spend a lot of time talking with each other. She has learned that I've kept myself from her most of my life. At first she beat herself up over it, and when she noticed that I refrained from telling her more, she stopped feeling pity and just started listening. We cried, we hugged, we laughed. We healed. Mom even started seeing her physical therapist. One day, Rodger just came by the house and flat out asked my mother out. It was actually really cute, grandma and I had noticed he stood on our front porch for about ten minutes giving himself a pep talk, it was so w

CandiceIt's been a week since Jared and I rekindled. He calls every day to ask how I am and to make sure I made it home alright. He hates the situation I'm in with Nicholas, but he knows it's a work in progress. He told me last night he was going to start therapy and I'm excited for him. I don't know the details behind him and Laynie's split, but I can tell it affected Jared pretty bad. I told mom about our relationship and surprisingly she couldn't be happier for me. Apparently Rodger knows his stuff."Earth to Candy." I hear a familiar voice coming from the doorway.My shift just started at work and I am currently working on putting a patient list together for the girls. I look up from my screen and see Melissa standing at the hem of the door with her head sticking inside the room. I stand up and walk over to her. She looks awful. Her make up is all smeared around her face like she's been sleeping in it for days, her skin is pale, she looks weary and tired and her eyes are comple

Austin"I don't know anything about that piece of shit."I rub my hand roughly down my face. We have been at this for over an hour and this bitch still has not given us any information. She is sitting on our couch looking comfortable as fuck while all I'm thinking about is hitting something. Max, with the help of Snake, was able to track down Miranda, A.K.A Psych's baby mamma. I thought she would be timid and nervous around a bunch of angry brooding bikers, but she was quite the opposite. Strolled in here with her two kids and demanded "One of us stupid ass bikers" watch them while she had a smoke."When was the last time you seen him Miranda?" Snake demands in a coarse voice.That seems to startle her a bit, but she quickly applies her mask of defiance back on. She's hiding something, I fucking know it. I stride over to her, get down and close enough to her face and shout."Did you fucking hear him bitch? Where the fuck is he? I know you know something and you ain't saying shit,

CandiceI've always thought I had a high tolerance of pain. It's one reason why I chose to become a nurse. It never bothered me too much to see the sight of blood or a twisted arm. I've even had someone come in with their finger in a pickle jar with ice, but right now my tolerance is escaping my mind. Psych has me tied to a chair, I am straddling it from the back and my hands are tied with zip ties onto the arms of it. There is a video camera in front of me and Jesse is smirking behind it. She looks completely fucked out of her mind. I've seen enough patients that come in just looking for her next fix, she is defiantly on cocaine. I take a deep breath and prepare for the impact of the whip hitting my flesh again. I'm sure my scrubs are drenched in blood. He's been going at it for about half an hour.The first few minutes I refused to give into to him and bit down on my lips every time the coarse whip struck my delicate back but after he noticed what I was doing, the whipping came i

AustinI pull up to the hospital not long after the phone call with Shane. All he told me was that I needed to get my ass over to the hospital as soon as possible, so that's what I did. I left Max to deal with Miranda and Snake. I know I shouldn't have done that, as president it's up to me to see out another president from my club but for once the club and all its rules are coming second. Hearing Shane's distress was enough of a kick in the ass for me to see that this woman was made for me and I have no intension of letting her go again. I just hope I'm not too late. Shane meets us half way up the emergency entrance and I stop so we can walk over from prying ears and eyes. Cops are usually in this area and I don't want them even getting in my way. Especially if my girl is danger."She showed up at work a few hours ago but Doc says she left early. Took her car. Got a hold of the security camera, she wasn't alone." Shane says when we are far enough away from people."How the fuck di

CandiceFamiliar voices wake me from my deep slumber. My whole body feels hot and my back is extremely tight. I try to move around but am met with intense pain on my side. I take a deep breath and wait for the pain to subside. Right off the back I know my ribs are at a minimal bruised. Ben comes into my view and I've never been so relieved to see him. "Hey you." His calm voice says."He..." I clear my throat and try again. "Hey. What happened?""Was hoping you could tell me. You were brought in yesterday, a broken rib, fractured orbital bone, back is covered in slashes and you have quite a rainbow of bruises all over your body."I close my eyes at the description of my injuries. Psych and Jesse really did a number on me, but I know that Austin and the rest of the Warriors rescued me. It would have been a lot worse if they hadn't come when they did, but part of me is still very angry with Austin. If he hadn't treated me the way he did when he found out about my father, I would hav

CandiceIt's been six weeks since everything went down and so much has transpired in that time. I was in the hospital a total of six days and when I was finally released they gave me three weeks off work. During that time I had a physical therapist help me move my back and arms better. I was still in pain because I did indeed get an infection, but after two weeks, I was able to move around easily. Rodger happened to be the one I was referred to and I was happy about it because it allowed me to get to know him better. He really is a good man and mom couldn't be happier. Jared ended up coming to the hospital once he found out what happened to me. I told him everything and apologized for not letting him know I was safe. I just wasn't used to anyone else in my life other than mom and grandma, but he showed me that I did, I had a big brother that wanted to help and protect me. I introduced him to mom a few days ago and at first mom was a bit taken back but she soon realized that I needed
Darkness Chapter 57: Epilogue
Candice"How's this?" Max asks from above me."A little higher.""This?""Perfect, keep it right there."I turn and grab the staple gun and pass it to him. He is high up on the ladder, so I have to go up a few steps to hand it to him while he holds the string of lights. I move back down the steps and bump into a very firm and familiar body. I turn around and smile up at Austin as he helps me down the last step. He places his arm over my shoulders as we both look up at the completion of decorations around the club. There are green and red lights everywhere. A large Christmas tree in the center of the room where the dance floor normally is, and about two hundred wrapped presents for the local children's shelter that Chance sponsors. We will all drop them off tomorrow morning. Turns out I was right; the warriors are making the community better. I had asked Austin right after thanksgiving if we could do a Christmas party at his club for all the members and their families. After spen
