Forever Scarred Part 8
Last part from Haven: unravel. Please please please comment! Learning more about the only one Haven cares about is harder then he thought.
Hearing Boss say her name makes my stomach twitch again. I look up at her. "What about Macie" I say in a bleak voice. A petite little girl steps out from behind Boss's car. She has think dark brown hair, and her smooth tanned olive colored skin, is sprinkled with light freckles. I nodded at her. She can't be more then fifteen if that. "Kyra, show him" Boss continues to stare at me. The little girl Boss called Kyra hands me a folder. I narrow my eyes, "What the fuck is this?" I say turning my head to Boss "Just look at it kid" I look back to the folder to find her name scribbled on to it. Macie Shay. Twitch. My insides shiver as I take a deep breath and open the folder. Hospital records.... What the fuck? I begin to read out loud "Crack collar bone, November 18, 2009. Dislocated left shoulder, December 7, 2009... Cracked rib, February 21, 2009... What the fuck is all this!" My chest tightens in pain. "Kid, there is something up with this girl. She has been in the hospital a total of eleven times between October, and April. And that's only this year! 2008 she was in and out of the hospital just as much." My jaw locks, my teeth grind together "It's her fucking parents... I know it.
She said she had family problems! Fuck! I didn't think that this was what she..." Boss interrupted "Haven...We have records from child protective services, they said they're where no signs of abuse from the mother or step- father. Every time she came into the hospital she had a story, look." Boss pulled out another sheet from the folder and pointed to it. It said things like, fell down stairs, and hit by car, tripped over a soccer ball...All I saw was bullshit though. "There are also police records on her." I froze at that. Macie's face came into my head. "No. that’s not Macie" I shock my head slowly. Why should I care what Macie has done. Why should I be worried about her getting hurt? This girl is fucking with my head. "Riggs, I want you off this Macie case. I'm going to have Kyra go to Macie and offer her the job. We are going to make her a deal ok? Macie is going to be..." "NO! FUCK NO! WHY DOES SHE HAVE TO HAVE THE JOB!? HUH? LEAVE HER THE FUCK ALONE!" What the fuck did I just say? Holy shit! It just came out i didn't even mean to…Shit. Boss's face was still emotionless but her two body guards and Kyra where trying to pick their jaws off the fucking floor. I looked down "Look, just give me a few more weeks... please."
My eyes traveled back up to Boss's face. "Riggs, you know what happens when you let people mean something to you, they get hurt." She turned to the car and opened the back door. "You have a month." She said just as she pulled herself into the car. Seconds later, i was completely alone. Boss's words kept replaying in my head as i got into the car. Macie doesn't mean shit to me. My insides started to burn, I knew it was a lie, but I wanted it to be true. It's only 1:02 when i sit on my front door steps with a fresh cigarette and take my first deep hit. How could she have gotten so many injuries? Fuck! WHY DO I CARE! I never cared about anyone before. "Never" I say out loud and let the smoke travel out of my mouth. I shake my head and look down at the cig in my hand. "I really need to stop" ha I’m talking to myself. I take another long inhale and blow out four smoke rings. It felt like fucking days just sitting there. I pull out my cell to look at the time. 2:55. Fuck. Sprint to the car, half way into the car I realize that I just drop a lit cigarette near my lawn. "Ugh! Fuck!" I almost yell as i jump out to go stomp out the cigarette. Its 3:20 by the time I get there. My eyes dart threw the crowds of students to find her as, I pull into the parking lot. Then, I see her. My breathing gets deeper. She is with the "popular crowd" and Aden Fairview is trying to wrap his arm around her waist. I watch her eyes wandering through the parking lot as she unraveled Aden’s arms and slides away from him. Fuck I wanna stomp that guy. I try and calm myself down as a hop out of the car and make my way over to her. Her blue eyes haven't met mine yet, I can see Aden's hand touch her butt, she whips her head around and then... his lips crush to hers. Then and there I know I was going to go to jail for murder.
