Page 89 of Grace of Spades
The lights flicker again for longer this time as my arms don't seem to work properly anymore. I'm at least going out with a big fuck you.
"Screw you, pencil dick." I gasp before the world goes black to the sound of violence.
Liam
I see Keir and his buddy, Alek, at Grace's locker. I'm surprised they're still there. Usually, they leave once Grace gets there.
"Hey fellas. What's up?" I ask.
"Waiting for Grace." Keir shrugs. There's a buzz of excitement and tension in the halls. I wonder who broke up? I dismiss it until I see Kennedy and my heart stops.
She's crying and looking panicked as she runs through the hall. What the fuck happened?
"Kennedy!" I shout and she looks positively relieved but not calm.
"It's Grace. Hurry." Three words and my entire world crumbles. All three of us are running after Kennedy. Something snaps inside of me at the sight before me. Tyler fucking Moore hasGrace pinned against a locker by her throat. She looks like she's passed out. She's barely struggling anymore as he snarls in her face. She comes to enough that I hear her gasp out a fuck you as we storm over.
"Screw you, pencil dick." Before she slumps in a temporarily victorious Moore's grasp. My fist hits him square in the jaw. How dare he?! Keir has Grace and Alek is taking care of Cuntington thoroughly.
I look over to see Grace limp in Keir's arms and blood on the locker where she was and I lose it. All I can think of is Grace and how this fucker tried to take her away from me. From us.
"Liam! Liam! He's out! You gotta stop. Grace doesn't want you in jail. She needs you in the nurse's office." Kennedy's voice breaks through the fog in my mind. She's right. Grace needs me with her. I leave Moore a bloody mess dragging Alek with me. Cuntington is looking rough as well. Good. I see Kennedy throw a kick into each of their ribs and I smirk. Grace will be so proud.
Grace isn't in the nurse's office. The nurse said they had to call an ambulance and my heart feels like it's being shredded in my chest. I need to get to her. I haven't told her that I love her yet. I was going to wait until the restaurant tomorrow. I never should have waited.
All I have is my bike. Kennedy got a ride with Grace and Alek came with Kier. Fuck!
I pull out my phone and call Christian.
"Bianchi." He greets.
"Grace is in the hospital. We need to get there can you pick us up at the school?" I ask.
"Why? What happened? Is she okay?" He rushes out panic clear in his voice.
"I don't know if she's okay. They called an ambulance. Some asshole attacked her. I took care of it for now." I explain.
"Be right there. Call Jai. I'll deal with Andras and the others."
"Got it." I hang up andcall Jai.
"Yo!"
"Grace is in the hospital. Get there."
"Turning around now. Is she okay?" He says stiffly, his mood taking an abrupt one-eighty.
"I don't know. Keir is with her."
"Okay, at least she's not alone. See you there." He hangs up and I see a Lambo peel into the parking lot. A Lambo? A fucking two-seater? Ugh! Why doesn't he just drive the damn truck all the time!?
"Alek, go with him. Kennedy, you're with me." We run to my bike and race to the hospital. I feel her hands shaking but her grip is strong on me as we pull into the parking lot.
The smell of antiseptic hits me as I spot Andras, Jai, Richard and Ruby arguing with a nurse. We charge up to see what's going on.
Keir
I don't know if this is worse than when she was kidnapped from the funeral. She looked so small in my arms as I took her to the nurse. She had a pulse so she's alive but she wasn't responding to me at all. The nurse paled at the sight of her and immediately called an ambulance. Now I'm in the back with her holding her hand as the EMTs hook her up to beeping machines. They put a neck brace on her just as a bruise was starting to form. Her knuckles were bloody from fighting back. I want to kill those fuckers for even touching her. I trust Liam and Alek to deal with them but I kinda hope they leave a piece for me too.
