Chapter Nine
Nia and Kyla helped get Jenna dressed while Trey and Travis checked her out of the hospital.
Jenna looked over her shoulder to see the men whispering over by the window as the girls helped her into her shoes.
“Are you really okay with this, Kyla?”
Kyla looked up at her from where she crouched on the floor. “Okay with what?”
“Living with Big Foot?”
Nia sputtered out a laugh while Kyla frowned at her. “He’s helping us, Jenna. I wish you’d be nice to him.”
“I thought I was.”
Kyla sighed and shook her head, and Nia just grinned.
Nia touched Kyla’s arm. “Don’t worry, girlfriend. Trey won’t let her run him off, and I’m betting he might get her to settle down a bit.”
Jenna snorted. “I wouldn’t bet your allowance, Nia. You’re going to lose.”
Nia chuckled. “We’ll see.”
“Are you girls ready?” Trey asked.
Jenna nodded. She wanted to get as far away from the hospital as she could. These places had always been a source of grief for her because she’d lost several family members in them over the years, and she hated them.
The nurse walked in with a wheelchair.
“I’m not fucking getting in that thing.” Jenna glared at the nurse.
Trey cleared his throat. “Thank you, nurse. I’ll take it from here.”
“Oh, all right.” The nurse turned and scurried out of the room.
She turned to glare at him.
He cupped her chin in his hand and tightened his grip when she tried to yank her face away.
“Listen up, pet. It’s a rule that you have to be wheeled out.”
“I don’t fuc—”
“I’d like it very much if you would be appreciative of all they did for you and follow the rules.”
She opened her mouth again.
“Let’s show them some respect. The same that they’ve shown you.”
Hell, when he put it like that, it made her feel like a total bitch. She nodded and let him get her settled in the chair. The others followed behind them until they got to the parking lot.
“I’m going to take Nia home. We’ll check in later. Call if you need anything.”
Trey shook Travis’s hand. “Thank you for everything you did. I can’t believe you got it all done within hours.”
“What he’d do?” Jenna asked.
Trey set his hand on her shoulder. “I’ll tell you about it on our way there.”
