C33 My knight in shining armor

Sofia's pov

I slowly started to open my eyes, my head still spinning and my breathing unsteady. The lights of the room irritated my eyes and the smell of antiseptics I was already used to was becoming sickening. I took my time to fully open my eyes and sit on the bed but my head hurt like never before so I just lay down and looked around.

And there he was.. Zack, my knight in shining armor. He was sleeping peacefully on the chair next to me, and from the scent of it he had been here for a while, his silver slick hair and his angel face were mesmerising, always making me remember how perfect and good looking he is.

He held a book in his hand which he was probably reading before asleep.

"Mrs Holmes?" A female doctor suddenly entered the room and asked "how are you feeling?"

"My head hurts a lot and my body is just an ocean of pain" I started to feel every synapse of pain in my ribs, bones and flesh firing more and more. Every part of me started aching more and more and I could feel my eyes watering up.

"You were on severe dehydration and the shock on your head caused more severe injuries than we thought. You will need a lot of rest and sleep from now on, no more physical trauma and also include better feeding habits"

"Of course she will doctor," Zack replied suddenly making me look at him and see how tired he was. I feel so guilty, I haven't allowed him rest since he came back, he was here the whole time by my side and I can't even do anything to thank him.

"Is there anything else she needs doctor? Medications? How long will she be here?" He asked his face still with a serious tone.

"Her prescriptions are on the table, we will carry out more tests but if everything is okay she will be discharged this evening."

"Thank you doctor." I answered and she nodded respectfully as she left the room. My gaze fell directly on Zack that seemed to have fallen back in reading his book.

"Hello, where is rae? And what happened to the family doctor" I asked but didn't receive any response from him, as though I didn't exist or he just didn't want to talk to me.

"Could you answer me please?!" I said raising my voice a little, thinking he probably might not have heard. This caused my head to hurt quite a lot but I didn't want to flinch in front of him.

"Oh so you can raise your voice huh? You can actually do that lady? You can request for respect?!" I spat at me obviously irritated and furious.

"Then how will you allow him to treat you like that? Look at you! What do you think you are doing to yourself?!"

His furror was growing, evident in his eyes. But I couldn't believe this, Zack shouting at me? Was he really trying to make me feel bad for the attitude of that monster?

"What was I supposed to do? Huh? Tell me? Complain? To whom? You were all gone and I couldn't bear the risk of dying in the hands of that monster!"

I sat on the bed, leveling my voice so he could hear the frustration in me. How could he say this to me? His brother almost killed me and he is here asking me to fight? My body is weak my bones are slowly giving up and all this motherfucker thinks he can do is asking me to fight for myself? Is this a joke?

"You could have left! Sophia! Leave! Why would you do this to you! Get away! Call the police! But staying in the house is signing your death before you realise it! Alex is evil, and will never do anything other than harming you Sophia! I am tired Sophia! You would be dead without me!"

His voice was raising more and more and all I could do is look at my prince charming turning into an ocean of rage that I couldn't understand. I thought he actually liked me, that I meant something to him, but looks like I'm just another damsel in distress that he is tired of saving

"Fuck you Zack! Do you have any damn idea of how much I want to leave? How much I fought, obeyed and cried in these past days? Fuck Zack do you know how much I wish I could run every single second passing but I would not live to see my dad in prison?!! I have been molested by a monster because of your god damn contract and now you're telling me this ?!!"

I looked at Zack straight in the eyes, my anger bursting out and sending my headache extra miles which caused rivers of tears to erupt from my eyes in pain, confusion and frustration. Zack looked at me shocked with a pitiful face, suddenly realising the impact of what he just said. He tried to approach me but I stepped my hand up to stop him right in his tracks

"Sophia.. I'm sorry I shouldn't have.. I just care about you and I'm trying to look for a better way for you "

"Well, Mr Holmes thank you for your splendid participation in my life but your actual worry and care can go fuck itself. Now leave my room and send Rae back to me."

I said on a cold tone, stiffing him instantly and sending a cold wave in the room. He looked at me in disbelief but I couldn't stand him right now. I was so hurt by what he just said and couldn't believe I would ever feel more abandoned than when my father gave me up but this was a masterpiece.

"I'm.. I'm sorry, I just..."

" I said leave Zack!! Get the fuck out of here! I'll continue handling myself from now on. And if my husband will be my breaking point then so be it"

He looked at me, sadness all over his face but my face was still and unwavering. He left without uttering another word and I did everything to calm myself down. My head was spinning and my breathing was getting heavier.

I had just kicked Zack out of my room and out of my life.. how will I ever survive now? I took the medications given to me by the doctor and fell asleep.
