It started with a whisper... {COMPLETED}

Chapter 11 - Unfamiliar place and people

I woke up with a sharp pain in my side, and in a room, I've never been in before. I looked around, it was nice, quite dull and boring though, it needed a touch of colour. I heard a small knock on the door.

"Come in?"

The door opened and in the doorway stood my brother, with a girl, it was Alexia, her light fawn coloured hair was pulled back into a tidy bun, glasses sat on her face, framing her blue eyes, a year older than me. Daughter, of the Greek mafia leader Kyros Biros, and really nice. My brother has a huge crush on her. she walked in and sat at the end of the bed, I haven't seen her for years, she moved away to a different country for her uni training.

"Hey shortcake"

"Hi chicken nugget, d-do you know what happened to me?"

"sorry, grim I don't... I would say ask Quade but he's talking to your dad, so I'll say ask tom"

"hm... that's ok... I'll ask Quade when I see him"

we talked for what it felt like hours on end, it was nice seeing her again. I missed her company. we were interrupted when I saw a few more people walk in, one I was hoping never to see again. that same gorgeous smile, and same killer eyes. that person who broke me... I looked away and kept my mouth shut. I looked at Alex and she knew what happened. 

"Uh... I'll leave"

my eyes widened and I shot her a look saying 'don't leave me please, why you do this to me' her smile grew as she left with my brother, the only people left in the room were me, tom and my father. the silence was deadly and the tension was high. I took a deep breath and spoke up. 

"what"

I looked over to them, and my heart dropped when I saw the hurt in toms eyes. I looked at my father and bit my lip. 

"w-what happened to me last night?"

I saw daddy hold his breath and look down. 

"Uh... well Blair called you as you know... he called to tell you that you were being followed, by Charles, Samantha and that, but you hung up on him, later that night you shot her and bet him up but there was also a third... Danniella"

"HIS FUCKING SISTER?"

"yes... she shot you as you shot one of his men... he was a"

"decoy..."

"correct"

I looked at tom and bit my lip again, drawing blood. 

"Thomas?"

I saw him hold his breath and clench his jaw, was he mad at me?

"Harvey can I please have a word with grim alone, I need to dress her wound"

I saw daddy look at him, nod and walk out the door, I sat up flinching at the pain that shot through my body, a tear slipped out of my eye and down my cheek. he stood on the other side of the room. 

"Thomas?"

"what?"

"What did you need to tell me?"

he looked away and held his breath. 

"Who are you? like who are you actually, I've never met someone as confusing and complicated as you"

I stopped and looked away, no one needed to know who I was, that's for my friends and family to know and others to never find out

"that's for me to know and you to never know"

I pulled the bed covers off my body, revealing my shorts and bra, a bandage covered my stomach region, I planted my feet on the soft carpet, I stood up carefully, making sure that I didn't open the wound, even more, I grabbed my side and winced at the discomfort in my body, tom rushed to my side encasing me with his arms, he picked me up and carried me bridal style to the bathroom, he sat me up on the bathroom counter and started looking through the drawers. 

"Thomas..."

"yes"

"where am I?"

"at your new home... or at my work"

"I made it clear I wasn't going to live here didn't I?"

"I'm afraid after last night you don't have a choice"
