I'll Fight For You
Seventeen
I haven't left my room much. Mom told me she doesn't want me going to school. I've been eating up here. I haven't been downstairs in a week. Jaime has been spending time with me after school. He says that Vic is really worried. It's the longest we've been apart for months. I feel like I need Vic. Without him I'm so weak.
I don't know what to do. I spend all day just listening. I can hear Mom downstairs and her talking to Jaime's dad. I can hear Jaime trying to reason with them. I sat down onto the floor by the window with my back pressed up against the wall. I heard a bang and stilled.
"No!" I heard Jaime yell. He never yells. "You stupid bitch!" he spat.
"Jaime!" his dad warned.
"She's sick!" Mom screamed.
"You're not taking her!" Jaime shouted. I got to my feet and looked out of the window. I saw it. The van parked outside in front of our house. I've seen it before. They've come for me. To lock me up in a padded cell. I tried to open my window but it wouldn't budge. I ran to my door but it was still locked. I took out my phone and called the only person I wanted.
"Han'!" Vic sighed in relief. "I'm sick of this. I can't do it! I don't care what they say, I'm coming to see you."
"They've come for me Vic." I cried.
"No! You're not going to die!" he exclaimed.
"Not the bad people. The doctors. Mom phoned them. They think I'm crazy!" I sobbed down the phone.
"I am coming right now. I'm in my car, just hold on. Don't let them take you, baby." Vic rushed. He sounded like he was desperate.
My door opened and I dropped my phone. I saw two men with my Mom and Jaime's dad standing behind them. I shook my head and cried harder. "Please," I begged. "I'm not sick."
"Hannah, can you come with us please?" one of the men asked.
"No." I shook my head violently.
"We won't hurt you." he told me calmly.
"I don't care," I muttered. I looked to my side and saw Lauren sat next to me. I felt my hand turn cold as she took it. I swallowed hard and looked back up. "I'm not going anywhere." I told them. They started to come forward but Jaime pushed through them. He stood in front of me and glared back at them. I stood up and went behind him.
"I am not going to let you take her away just because you're too narrow minded to believe the truth!" Jaime spat.
"Jaime, move out of the way." his dad told him.
"No." Jaime said through gritted teeth. Jaime's dad came forward and grabbed Jaime's arm. He tried to pull him away but Jaime brought his fist back and smashed it into his dad's face. He let go of Jaime's arm and stumbled back.
The men came forward too. I gasped when one held Jaime as the other went for me. I struggled against him and kicked out. "No!" I screamed. Jaime was fighting against the man. Jaime's dad punched Jaime in the jaw, knocking him onto the floor. Jaime touched his jaw and winced. The other man took my legs and they started carrying me out. "Jaime!" I cried. His dad was holding him back. "Lauren!" I screamed. "Make it stop!" I could see Lauren close by me but she couldn't do anything.
"I'm sorry." Lauren breathed.
"Hannah!" Jaime called.
I couldn't fight them. They took me through the house. Then they took me outside. I saw Vic's car and cried harder. "Vic!" I screamed. "Please!" Vic rushed out of his car and ran to me. He kicked one of the men and pushed him up against the van. I fell down onto the floor and Vic pulled me close to him. I cried against his chest and he pressed kisses all over my face.
"I have you," he whispered. "I promise."
"Vic!" Jaime yelled. He was outside now. I looked up and saw one of the men. He pulled Vic off of me and pinned him to the ground. The other grabbed me and I screamed. Vic was trying to get free.
"Let me go!" Vic spat. Mom was coming forward. "You deserve everything Hannah has to suffer! You old, sick bitch!" he hissed at her.
"Stop!" I screamed. "Let him go!" They opened the van and I was thrown inside. Vic managed to get free and ran to me. He grabbed my hand before the doors closed, before he was forced away. "Don't leave me." I cried through the window.
"Never." he promised.
The van started driving and I saw Vic pace. Then he smashed his fist into a tree in my garden. I slumped up against the side of the van and curled up into a ball. Lauren was next to me. "I'm so sorry, Hannah." she told me.
"I'm going to die. I don't even have a chance," I muttered. "How long can you be here?" I asked.
"As long as you want."
"They'll pull you back."
"No," she shook her head. "Not while you're like this. You're too powerful."
"I'm a wreck!" I exclaimed.
"You're out of control," Lauren said excitedly. "You're dangerous. The power is seeping out with your emotion. I can smell it," she said and inhaled deeply. "They're scared you'll beat them."
"They beat you." I said.
"Yeah." she frowned.
"I'm sorry."
"It's over with." she said heavily.
"Don't leave me."
"As long as you keep me here." Lauren said. I nodded, I needed her here.
