Sequoia

I groan as I look at the damage done to my car, it will cost me money I barely have to get it fixed. Now, I was furious, The note was nothing, the damage was even worse. Folding the paper up and stuffing it in my pocket, I decide to pay Penelope a visit. I figure she's still at the hospital with Justin which makes it easier for me.

The drive to the hospital happened to be quiet uncomfortable since I was receiving an ample amount of wind coming through my back window, it seemed like a long trip but in reality it only took a few minutes. I pulled up to the hospital in which I received a few stares at my busted back window, ignoring them I stomped into the automatic doors. Visting hours weren't over yet so I was able to go straight up to the third floor, I cursed at the walk down to the end of the hallway; these heels are killing me but they were gorgeous.

As I knocked on the door , I reached in my pockets and fished out the note. I looked up as the door swung open, Penelope looked surprised at my sudden arrival but I didn't care. Pushing pass her, I angrily held up the note in Justin's face who looked surprised also. "She knows, look."

Justin looked stunned and snatched the note out of my hand, I folded my arms over my chest and glared at Penelope who looked "confused". "What's going on?" Penelope asked, standing closer to Justin as she tried to look at the paper. "what happened?"

I scoffed and shook my head, she knew what was going on. I'm tired of that clueless façade of hers, "you happened," I hissed, Penelope looked stunned as her big blue eyes widened. " your crazy ass threw a brick at my car because you found you that I'm -"

Fùcking your man

"Sequoia!" Justin snapped at me angrily, I shot him a dirty glare and he returned it. "She couldn't have did it, she was here the whole time."

"What do I know, what happened?" Penelope pleaded to know, I pursed my lips together before turning to her completely readying to tell the whole truth.

"Your husband here has been sneaking around with me for the last few months," I told her truthfully, I was tired of this life and once I told her it felt like a weight has been lifted off of my shoulder. Justin hissed and threw his head back, Penelope didn't look surprised at all, she looked more in pain than anything but their was also a physcotic glint in her eyes.

Penelope sighed before dropping her shoulders, I almost felt bad for telling her like that but the fact that she caused damage to my car was overpowering my sympathy for her. "I knew that, I've known since the dinner party and I kinda walked in on you two the other day." she admitted, playing with her hands. But she suddenly looked up at me with anger in her eyes, she actually looked crazy. "I'm pissed it took you two so long to admit it. I'm not stupid now and I am not gonna take this shít lightly!"

"Pen, I'm sorry but you knew it was coming" Justin finally said, wincing as he sat up in the bed. He was still in pain, my baby. "This marriage has to come to an end now, I can't keep living like this. I'm happy with Sequoia. " he told her, but that's where he fùcked up. Penelope started to grab her hair and pull it, mumbling words under her breath.

"I'm sorry for telling you like that too, I -" I was cut off by Penelope's piercing scream as she clawed at her hair, she started to yell no over and over, each time was louder. I furrowed my eyebrows and moved closer to the door, just in case she decided to take her anger out on me.

She started to cry loudly, causing her mascara to run down and stain her cheeks black. "I'm supposed to make you happy!" penelope whined, pulling at her hair some more repeatedly saying me. God, she's crazy right now, I see why Justin was sort of afraid of telling her. Justin shook his head but he still looked at her with wide worried eyes. I looked down and saw that he had the remote to call a nurse in his hand , just in case. "Me! I was, I've been dreaming about our marriage since I was 16! Why her?"

Justin looked scared to say the next line as if it would set her off but he opened his mouth anyway, and god did I want to slap him for it afterwards. "Because I love her Penelope, a lot." before I could even blink I was being tackled to the ground by a screaming Penelope, she tried to grab my face but I came more aware and pushed her off of me. "Penelope! Leave her alone!" Justin yelled, I couldn't see if he got up or not but I didn't care. I was so close to kicking this girl in the face with my heels on, no one could stop me.

But as soon as I lifted my foot to strike I was lifted up and thrown on Justin's bed, multiple security guards were crowding around Penelope as she screamed. I hadn't calmed down either, "No! Let her ass go, since she wanted to fight I'll give this hoe fight!" I started to take off my shoes and tied my hair up, "Let her go!" I yelled getting up but I was yanked down by Justin who looked pissed.

"Calm your little ass down, she's not worth it." he all but growled, hovering over me, with all my power I tried to move out of his grip but I couldn't. For someone to be injured he sure had a lot of strength. Wait! He's injured, my eyes widened and sensed my panic. "Don't worry, I'm fine. I just need to be bandaged back up. " he said, his anger somewhat dissolved and had been replaced with an amused smile.

I feel Justin's grip loosen and I quickly slip out of his grasp , sitting up to see Penelope thrashing against the restraints of the security guards. Her eyes were wide , she looked as if she was an escaped patient from a mental asylum. I turned away from her and looked at Justin who pulled me into his chest , shielding me away from her psychotic glare.

Moments later, after more threatening words from penelope, she was finally escorted out of the building , Justin was told by the nurses to lay back down and he hesitantly did so. They replaced his bandages and left the room quickly, leaving Justin and I to discuss everything that happened a few moments ago. The security guards had left with their statements to put in the hospital's files long ago, so I just laid next to Justin for a while after calming down. We avoided talking about Penelope for the time being, I didn't want to describe how her stare made me feel.

"You know you're gonna have to stay with me until you make a full recovery, right?" I asked teasingly even though I know he wouldn't mind one bit, he'd only have a problem with me taking care of him.

" if that means I get to see you everyday I don't care, but no babying me." he scolded me , I rolled my eyes and ignored his warning. I was gonna be his care taker and he was going to love it. "I'm serious doll, you seem to ignore me now that I'm injured but you forgot what I can do to you."

I rose an eyebrow at him, what could he do? He was basically physically disabled for the next few weeks,I couldn't take his threat seriously. "I'm not sure what you can do, as I recall you're handicapped for right now. " I snickered, propping my chin on my hands and smiling at him teasingly.

He rolled his eyes and wrapped his arm around me, pulling me on top of him slightly so I wasn't laying on his wound. " I can and I will fùck you into listening to me, you know that right? " he huskily said, making me bite my bottom lip slowly. He always manages to turn any situation, no matter what.

"Do you ever stop?" I questioned softly trying to get the image of Justin fùcking me senselessly into submission, we had other things to worry about! He only shook his head then gripped my chin softly and placed his lips over mine, pulling me into a deep sensual kiss that almost made my toes curl. I let out a moan into his mouth then pulled away because I was close to losing control. "Okay that's enough, I better get going."

"Stay with me, I'm being discharged tomorrow. "

"I can't, I have to go get my car fixed tomorrow " I scowled, crazy ass bítch. I swear she reminds me of one of those women I see in lifetime movies, I bet even after the divorce goes through we'll still be seeing her.

"I'll go with you, I'm paying for it anyway." he shrugged slightly, I shook my head to no. "its the least I can do since someone I know did that to you."

"Penelope."

"No someone else, I don't want to jump to conclusions yet but I know that it wasn't Penelope. " I scoffed and got up from his bed to gather my things, "Are you mad? Just think about it. She said that she has been found out about us, don't you think she would've did that shít sooner? "

If it wasn't Penelope, then who did it? I didn't know that many people in Florida and I would be aware if someone was targeting. I hadn't pissed anyone off, here but back in Europe there are some people who probably want to fight me. They wouldn't follow me always the way back to America to get revenge.

Who's after me then?

***

I ended up staying in the hospital bed with Justin's arms around me, it was actually very comfortable but I kept worrying about Justin. He stayed up and watched me sleep, every time I would briefly wake up; his eyes were on me. It wasn't creepy at all but when the nurse came in to wake us up, he looked refreshed like he wasn't watching me all night. Weirdo.

I blink my eyes as I stretch my body, letting out a small gasp as I did so. Justin was already up sitting on the edge of the bed with a carton of orange juice. "Once we get out of here I'm getting some real food." he grumbled, I nodded in agreement. Hospital food wasn't the greatest, I would know. "I'm going to get in the shower, " I opened my mouth to ask if he needed help but he beat me to it. "And no I don't need help, I'm a grown ass man."

"Well shít, " I said to myself as he slowly walked to the bathroom, he scowled at me as he passed. Justin knew he was going to need my help soon, all I had to do is wait it out. I plopped down in the bed and looked at the TV mounted to the wall, reaching for the remote that was connected to the bed by a white wire. Before I could even change the channel justin was calling my name, I smirked victoriously and slowly got up from the bed. "Yes, honey?" I call sarcastically as I step into the bathroom.

Justin's head peeks out around the curtain, he looks at me before asking "Can you- can you , please hand me a wash cloth?" childishly might I add, I nod and hand him a small white wash cloth that was sitting on the counter.

"What do you say?"

"Thank you." he mumbles.

"huh?" I ask purposely, now I was being childish.

"Thank you, shít! " he shouts, I laughed before exiting the bathroom, leaving him to shower on his own. I look down at my clothes and immediately feel disgusted, I hate sleeping fully clothed. I feel disgusting afterwards, my lips purse and I realize that I always keep clothes in my trunk. The trunk of my car was like my own personal closet, I have shoes, tops, jeans, underwear, almost half my wardrobe.

I grab my keys , slip on my heels, and walk out the room. Many nurses and doctors pass me, and I can't help but wonder what it would be like if I actually decided to major in pre-med. I chose a whole different path by choosing to get a job that involves photography, if I even still have one, when in reality I don't even have a degree in that field, I have a political science degree. Good mix, right?

Nope.

Bringing myself back from my own thoughts, I realize I'm just standing in front of an open elevator like an idiot. A few passing nurses give me a weird look , I ignore them and step into it. I notice a tall man standing in the corner with his hands in his pocket, his eyes on me but I try to ignore them. I felt uncomfortable under his gaze, he was looking at me like he knew me but I've never seen him before.

When the elevator opened on my floor, I quickly rushed out. The man from the elevator began to follow me , panic rushes through me as he starts to shout at me. I turn to speed walk out the door but I bump into someone else, I'm knocked on the floor and the man catches up to me. "Miss, you, wow you walk fast." he chuckles out of breath, I quickly stand to my feet and turn on my heel but I feel an arm on my elbow. "You dropped this."

He holds up my rose gold iPhone and I literally sigh in relief, he wasn't trying to attack or kidnap me. He was actually returning something, god I'm so paranoid. "Oh my gosh, thank you so much. " I laugh a little, I can't believe I thought he was out to get me. "lord knows I would've been searching high and low for this, thank you...?"

"Jeremy." he gives me a wide smile, it almost makes my skin crawl. I nod and give him a small smile before thanking him again, then turning in the direction of the exit.

Well that wasn't creepy at all.

Note my sarcasm.

Before I get far, I see Jeremy standing in the same place I left him, Staring intensely at me. Uneasiness washes over me, and I can't help but feel like something wasn't right or something was going to happen. I wasn't sure what it was but I didn't like it,

What was going on?

Justin

With a towel in my hand, I walk out the bathroom dressed in light washed jeans. I hadn't put my shirt on yet because I was told a nurse was coming in to change my bandages again. I furrowed my eyebrows when I noticed Sequoia was gone, where did she go? I walked over to my bed and sat on the edge, she wouldn't leave with out telling me so I decided to wait.

I covered my face with my towel and laid back against the bed, letting out a deep sigh and pulling the towel off of my face. My eyes fell on a familiar face at the foot of my bed, how the hell did he get in here? How come I didn't hear him come in? I'm that stupid, huh? "What the fùck? " I hissed, sitting up quickly but soon regretted it when pain shot through my body. I held the side of my body while Jeremy had a smug smirk on his face, he thought this shít was amusing. Bastard

"Easy there, son. " he said almost mockingly, god I wanted to get up and lunch him in his teeth. Why the hell is he here? "I don't want you getting hurt, again."

Anger pulsed through my body as he stepped around my bed and stood next to it, I wanted so badly to pull out my gun and shoot. "Why are you here?" I gritted out, Jeremy raises an eyebrow before chuckling. "What the hell is so funny? "

"Nothing, its just that you've gotten more angrier since I've last seen you."

Why wouldn't I be angry, you ignorant asshole!

"Maybe because my dumb ass father decided to pop up after years, comes to find out he was the one behind my shooting. "and threatening Sequoia. But I wasn't sure of that, he didn't need to hurt her.

Jeremy grinned and shook his head ,"You should know I didn't plan on hurting you at all, you showed up at the wrong time. My people and I only wanted to finish a drug deal." he explained, once again smiling with his teeth. What's up with him smiling? "But , I did threaten your girlfriend. " So it was him! Fùcking bastard, but why? What was the point?,"Their family is loaded, I mean, why would you want to leave that? Get rid of the girl Justin. "

"No." I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion at his logic, it doesn't add up at all. Its money that he wants, but he seems to have it all because of what he does now. "You want me to leave Sequoia because Penelope has money? That's stupid, I'm not doing it."

"Fine" Jeremy sighed then muttered some incoherent words , he turned and walked towards the door but stopped. "Its fine that you don't want to leave her but I'm not the one you should be worried about hurting the girl." he said then walked out. I was confused, why did he come here just to warn me ?

Why does it feel like he's helping me?

He's supposed to hate me, not help me.

I rub my temples and sigh just as Sequoia comes in, she was giving me a concerned look. Looking down at he clothes I noted that I would give her my jacket, "You okay Justin? " she asked putting a knee on my bed and leaning forward to put her small hand on my chest.

I sighed before nodding my head, even though I wasn't okay. I didn't know how to feel about all of this "I'm okay angel." I force a smile and she gives me a genuine one back.

"I know you're not okay but everything will work out fine in the end, I promise."

Hopefully.
