Mated to the Alpha Twins

Tori’s Dad was really nice as far as Doctor’s go. While I still hated hospitals, I felt a little more comfortable.

Tori’s Dad had given me half of some little white pill. After about half an hour, the pain in my foot subsided to a dull throb.

“You have a fracture in your foot.” Tori’s Dad pursed his lips, obviously eyeing the bruise on my cheek. “Quite a fall you had.”

“Sure was.” I nodded, fighting to keep my voice relaxed and even. “I’m pretty clumbsy though so it isn’t a surprise.”

“Make sure to be careful next time.” Tori’s Dad nodded, seeming unconvinced.

“Will do.” I murmured, “My folk’s are renovating the house at the moment so it’s been pretty cluttered at the moment.”

I was just burying myself in lies at this point. Lying about my relationship with my family. Lying about my house. Lying about my bruises. I reminded myself it’ll all be worth it once I graduate and move the h**l out. All of the lies would be worth it in the end.

“You’re going to have to wear this boot for a few weeks.” The Doctor informed me, wrapping my foot up tightly.

My heart jumped at the thought of wearing a boot. If Melissa noticed it would be game over. She’d assume Frank hurt me, and would know I went to the hospital. But how the h**l was I going to hide a d**n boot? Tori would flip out if she caught me not wearing it. Either way, I was screwed. It was only a matter of time.

Alec, Kade, and Tori filtered back into the room. Each had a strange look on their face that made the knot in my stomach grow heavy. Tori wasn’t stupid, she knew something was up. Pair that with my crappy lying skills and she was almost half way there to figuring out the truth.

It’s not like Frank constantly abused me. It was few and far between. Mostly verbal abuse, which I could take with ease. It was a mistake on his part that caused my face to bruise, and a mistake on my own that led to my foot injury. I’m sure my torso was covered in bruises, but no one would have the opportunity to see those. The porcelain tub left my ribs feeling tender and painful, but I wasn’t about to bring that up.

“So, how bad is it?” Tori grimaced, her face matching Kade and Alec’s.

“Just a small fracture.” Tori’s Dad nodded, “Nothing a boot won’t fix. Just gotta let the body heal itself.”

My visit to the Doctor’s had taken almost all of the time I had. Hanging out with Tori definitely did not go as planned.

Alec and Kade drove us back to Tori’s house. The ride was silent, something I was thankful for. I refused to let either one of them carry me again, choosing to hobble along at an excruciatingly slow pace.

I was officially declaring myself done with the two of them. I’d have to muster up the willpower and hope they didn’t manage to get me alone again.

Kade could have fun with Grace, and Alec could have fun with whoever else. While my insides burned with jealousy at the thought, I wasn’t sticking around as some toy they could s***w with.
