Third-person POV
Sophie was still confused as she hears the loud thump of doors opening. The bright lights passing by in a flash made her feel disoriented and uncomfortable.
"Why are they so bright?" she thought to herself as she became a little annoyed at all the people dressed in scrubs talking extremely loud for her liking.
"Sophie. Sophie can you hear me?" she looks over at a doctor who flashes a tiny but so damn intolerable bright light in her eyes making her squint. She grunts, trying to move, but her hands, as well as her feet, are fastened to the stretcher being pulled away to God knows where.
The stretcher finally comes to a halt, and she grunts in pain as the adrenaline starts to fade and she's transferred onto a different bed. A pair of nurses begin by cutting away her clothes, taking her hand to check her pressure, and placing an ice-cold stethoscope on her chest.
"What's happening?" she whispers, as the pain in her stomach becomes more intense.
"Sophie, can you tell me what day it is? Do you know where you are, sweety? Can you recall what happened?"
Too many questions were making her feel dizzy. She closes her eyes, almost hoping she was dreaming and could wake up soon.
The sharp pain goes through her arm as a nurse pierces her flesh with a needle to administer the IV.

Logan's POV
I rushed through traffic like a maniac. I could feel my heart beating on my chest, and if it wasn't for my damn lungs and flesh, I swear my heart would pop out of my fucking chest. I felt as if my damn car couldn't be going fast enough for me to get there.
I finally reached the hospital and rushed towards the reception where everyone was already waiting. Thank God for my mom. She acted quickly, getting Nancy to take care of Nate while we were here. My kiddo would have been so fucking stressed if he saw his mom in that hospital bed the way she was right now.
"Logan. Thank God you're here, son." Mr. P says as he sees me run towards them.
"How is she?" I ask, and mom gives me a tight squeeze around my shoulders. "The doctors were able to stabilize her, she suffered a minor concussion, and a fractured rib, her left arm is broken and she has a few cuts and scrapes, but thankfully she's fine now, baby. I'll let the nurse know you're here so you can go in and see her. She gave us quite a scare but she's finally coming out of it."
Steven gets up quickly, and he gives me an apologetic smile, but I can read him better than he knows. And I know damn well he knows who was in that other fucking car.
I'm going to make them pay for what they did. I clenched my jaw, and walk straight to him. My hands closed into tight fists, as my nails dig into my own palm's flesh. I can see his Adam's apple going up and down, evident he was nervous.
"Who?" I said in a menacing tone making his eyes go wide. He's seen me mad before, but never this pissed off.
Whoever it was, they just fucked with my family, and they were going to pay.
"Logan, relax, buddy."
I grabbed him by his shirt, fisting it in my hands. I didn't give a fuck that he was still dressed in his sheriff's uniform, I needed answers.
"WHO?" I raised my voice making everyone startled. His partner got up, placing his hand by his pistol, but Steven quickly gave him orders to stand down.
"Logan, honey, relax. Please, Sophie is fine baby. She's resting, and she wants to see you." mom tried to calm me down.
My veins were engorged, and I could feel my blood boiling at how fucking pissed off I was.
I didn't look away. I stared intensely into his eyes, and his expression softened when he sees my eyes water. "Who. Was. It? I won't ask again." I said in a low tone, his hand went over mine, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"I'm sure you already have an idea who it was. She was not in her right state of mind, Logan. She's really sorry,"
That's all it took for me to lose my shit. "Where is she?"
"She's here at the hospital, she was pretty shaken up too, Logan?" he yelled after me as I went to the reception to ask for her fucking room number. She was going to have a good ear full before I began processing the paperwork to make sure she rots in jail.
Soon as I knew where she was, I went straight to her room, the cops stood by her door and were ready to stop me, but Steven told them to let me through. He stood by my side the whole time, I guess he thought I was going to hurt her.
"L- Logan." she was surprised by me coming to her room. Her neck was in a brace, her right eye bruised, and her leg in a cast with small cuts here and there.
"You fucking piece of shit. You went too far this time."
"Logan, I swear. It was not intentional. I was drinking all night, I've been going through so much lately, and I,"
"Save it. I don't fucking care what I have to do, but I'm going to make sure justice serves you well this time and you will rot in jail for the rest of your fucking pathetic life, you understand me?" I said as I came down close to her face, placing pressure on her broken leg.
I was too infuriated to care that I was hurting her. She yelled out in pain and began to cry, trying to take my hand away, but I pushed her back harshly against her bed with my other hand.
"Please, Logan, I'm telling you the truth, I didn't mean to. I, I was distracted, I couldn't stop crying, it all happened in a second. I didn't mean to."
"Does it look like I fucking care? You asked for this, Rox. You'll rot in jail for the rest of your life, and so will your daddy."
Her eyes go wide as I reveal a piece of evidence she was unaware of. I smirk evilly at her and clench my jaw.
"Oh yes, sweetheart. I already know about all the frauds your daddy and that other guy did to frame Mr. Davila to try and take over his business. Your daddy was just as stupid to fall for Roman and ended up in the streets like the coward he is."
I came closer to her face, making her eyes get wider as she sinks into her bed, "I am going to make sure the whole world knows what a pathetic-backstabbing piece of shit you and your daddy are. And I will make sure you spend the rest of your life in jail." I said as I pushed on her forehead and stood up straight.
I fixed the folds of my suit and walked away. I needed to get out before I ended up hurting her.
I will never, ever let this one go. I need to make sure she gets stopped this time, and I need to make sure I protect my family.
She wanted to see the beast in me, now she has, and the beast just awakened. She will see what's coming to her, and believe me; she will not like it.
