Carla glared "no way! my daddy could beat him up any day!" she hissed back. She wouldn't be hearing from anyone! Not if she could help it. She sat across from Jessa, folding her arms as she went silent for the ride to the hospital. What neither girl were aware of, though, was that Grace had taken the time to call both Nick and Ben and inform them that their daughters were involved in an accident and were being rushed to the ER. She wasn't about to tell Nick what Carla did to Jessa. No, she did that once already with February. She wasn't going to do that again.
Shayne closed the front door, locking it "sit down" he said quietly. He went upstairs to where that dreaded strap was. He held it in his hands for a moment before grabbing a new bar of soap and going back downstairs. He went into the kitchen, grabbing a wooden spoon. Finally, he set them down on a chair in the living room and folded his arms, facing his sister.
"When I got involved with Damian last year, I thought I would never see you again. You know that? Every day, every night in that juvenile detention center, all I could think about was how I wanted to get out of there and not have to face prison because my little sister needed me. Do you know how hard drug addiction is to stop? That's right, I said it, drug addiction! You didn't know that, did you? I kept that shit from you so you wouldn't worry. I was stealing, I was dealing, and I was doing. I almost got involved in a fucking gang war. And that shit is hard to get out of. But you know what? I did it. I got out of it safely, and I did it all for you!"
He stepped closer "and now you're going to get in the same shit with the cops? You know what would fucking happen if Uncle Damian found out? Do you know how quickly your name would be on the goddamned roster for a boot camp? We are NOT going to get separated, you hear me?! I lost mom and dad, and I'm NOT going to lose you! Not again!" his tears welled up in his eyes as he dropped to the floor, sobbing.
Arms crossed around his waist, he shook with sobs "I-I couldn't-I couldn't save you. H-he was going to--Mrs. Manning. He killed her. A-and Jessa, and Ulyssus, and Megan. All those people. and you were missing. A fucking Jane Doe. I thought--they told me you didn't make it. Do you know what that feels like? To be told that your sister's dead??"
Ben received the call and frowned. Jessa? An accident? Oh, no. Ben stopped stirring the cake batter and left, forgetting to turn the oven off. He rushed to the hospital and when he got there, he went straight to the front desk "My daughter! Where's my daughter?!" he yelled.
"Sir, if you could just wait--" the lady behind the desk told him, putting a hand up.
Ben reached forward, grabbed a handful of pens and threw them at her "no! I cannot just wait! Where is my daughter?!" he had pure panic in his voice. But really, how else was he supposed to react? Jessa had CIPA. Anything could have happened. And Ben was prepared for the worst.

Jessa had just rolled her eyes, ignoring Carla for the rest of the ride to the hospital. She did not want to deal with her. And she would give anythin to seek her revenge. But she wasn't sure if that would be the best idea. So instead, she kept her mouth shut and looked down at her hands.
When they finally reached the hospital, Jessa was taken straight to triage. She bit down on her lip and looked around. God. She hated to have to be her. Again! She could not stand hospitals. She wasn't even listening to what the adult was saying to her. Her mind was racing and it would not slow down. Right now, all the girl really wanted was her daddy.
And that was when she heard it. Jessa's head shot up. "Daddy?" she whispered, getting to her feet. But the adult tried to get her to sit back down. She pushed her away. "No!" she screamed. "Don't fucking touch me! I want my daddy! Leave me alone!" She pushed the adult away from her and ran to the door, opening it. "Daddy!" she screamed.
Swallowing, February didn't question him. She just sat down and waited for her brother to get back. And the whole time he talked, she remained absolutely quiet, looking down. She never wanted to hear some of the things that he was telling her. She just wanted to be anywhere but here right now.
Finally, she looked back up. "I know, okay?! I screwed up! But you know what? At least it's not as bad as what you fucking did! And you know what else?! That bitch deserved it! In fact, I think Jessa deserves way worse than what she got tonight!" She shook her head, getting to her feet. "No, you have no reason to cry. I'm here now. Who fucking cares about the past."
Nick had been cleaning up around the house when he got the phone call. Immediately he grabbed the keys and left the hospital, speeding towards the hospital. Once there, he parked and ran inside. "Where's my daughter? I need to find my daughter. Her name's Carla Nash."

Shayne looked up with his tear-glazed eyes. Suddenly, he lunged at her, grabbed her arms and slammed her into the wall. "shut up! Just shut the fuck up! You weren't there! You haven't been seeing what Jack did, from Hannah to Megan and now you?!" he growled.
He raised his arm, pinning her to the wall. "you are going to learn a lesson, February! Starting with that filthy mouth! And if you dare tell Uncle Damian or Aunt Liberty that I did one thing to you, I swear I'm going to give it to you way worse, AND I'll tell them what you did!" he glared daggers into her "got it?!"
Ben's head jerked up "Jessa!" he ran to her, pulling her into his arms "is she ok? tell me she's ok? she has to be ok! Is she ok?!"
The nurse stood up "she seems ok, but we need to do some x-rays and a cat scan to make sure"
Ben nodded "o-ok. Do it. She's hurt. She-she has a heart...a thing. She-she can't let her heart beat..I mean, not hard. It's a thing!" tears welled up in his eyes as he punched a wall with a growl, knocking some things off the wall
Carla had been cleaned up and given pain medication while they waited for the X Ray machine to be freed up. The medical assistant typed in her name and looked up "she is in ER room four. A technician will show you the way" she said

"J-Jack?" She whimpered out, tears filling her eyes. She had know idea of who had hurt her. And honestly? February never wanted to know either. It was worse knowing. Or so she figured. The girl shook her head, looking up at her brother with wide eyes. "I'm sorry!" she cried out. "I-I-I never meant fo it to go that far." she swallowed. "And-and-and you-you cant punish me. You aint my father." she insisted.
Jessa hugged her dad. She didn't want to let him go. "Daddy...I told tem I was sorry. I tried to make friends. This isn't my fault!" she cried out. "They-they tried-they tried to kill me daddy! I'm sorry. So very sorry."
Nick nodded. "Thank you." He followed the technition to the room and walked inside. "Carla, sweetie, are you okay? What happened?"

"No, I'm not. He fucked up too. Remember how I told you that dad died on duty and he was a cop? Yeah, I lied. He drank and drove, Feb. On mom's fucking death anniversary. He crashed a car and killed two families. But I guess you know all about crashing cars, don't you? So yes, I am going to punish you. Because if I don't, I will leave, Feb. You want that? Who else do you got, huh? We don't belong in this family. We both know that. Remember at the funeral, huh?! I promised I would always take care of you. Well, this is involved in taking care of you"
Ben stroked her hair "shh. It'll be ok. I'll deal with it. Right now, you need to go with these people and get your X Rays and cat scans done, ok? We have to make sure that you're all right"
Carla looked up, holding her arm. By now, it was starting to ache. "daddy. It was supposed to be a stunt car. We weren't supposed to be in a real one" she whispered, looking down at the floor.

"What? But-I-" February shook her head. He lied to her? How could he lie to her? But then again, February really did not want to know the truth either. She loved both of her parents very much. She swallowed, looking down. "No..." she whimpered. "You can't-you can't leave. You're right. Otherwise-I'm alone. Noone else cares about me. ot even the kids at school. You're all I've got." Tears welled up in February's eyes as she looked at Shayne. "Please..." she whimpered. "Please...I'm sorry." She shook her head. "Don't-don't hate me. I don't want you to hate me."
Jessa nodded. "Okay. But don't leave me. Wait for me. You-you left me once, daddy." She shook her head. "Promise you won't leave me again."
Nicholas folded his arms and looked to his saughter. "What do you mean? Carla, what did you do??"

Shayne shook his head "never. I could never hate you" he pulled her into his arms, kissing her head "god, I love you so much. You mean more to me than anybody. I mean it. You will always come first." he pulled away "and right now, making sure you learn a lesson you won't forget for a long time is more important than homework. Grab that soap and go into the kitchen. Now"
Ben shook his head "never again. I'll be here. I promise" sure, he'd be here. Just not in the same room.
Carla bit her lip and looked up at him "Jessa....sh-" she closed her eyes. "We just wanted to scare her. We never wanted to hurt her. We thought we had the stunt car. A-and Aunt Ellie said we could be there"

February swallowed and nodded. She hated this. Not once in her entire life had she ever gotten into trouble. By anyone. And not once had she ever been hit. Never. With a sigh, the young girl grabbed the soap and walked into the kitchen.
Jessa smiled, softly, before leaning in and giving him a kiss on te cheek. "I love you, daddy."
Nick shook his head. "When we get home, you are gonna be beyond grounded young lady!"

Shayne swallowed and took a moment to compose himself "give me the strength, mama" he whispered. Taking a deep breath, he grabbed the wooden spoon and followed her. "Open it" he instructed her, grabbing a clean rag and turning on the water, he got the rag wet and held out his hand for the soap
"Love you too. Be safe!" he said and nodded. As he watched the tech walk her down the hall, he swallowed and called out "be careful with her! She's just--" he sighed "just a baby" he murmured that last part. Seconds later, he was storming down the hall, looking for Carla. When he found her, his eyes narrowed "you!" he growled, walking in. "You little bitch! Do you realize what you could have done?! NOBODY tries to kill my Jessa!" he grabbed her collar
Carla sighed and looked down. "Da-" she was cut off by Ben. When he grabbed her, she whimpered and flinched, not wanting him to hit her. "I-I didn't! We didn't wanna kill her! I swear!" she whimpered out, covering her head with her arms

February swallowed and nodded, not looking at her brother. She opened the soap before handing it to Shayne.
Jessa nodded and followed the tech down the hall. She watched the ground as she walked, staying silent.
"Hey!" Nick yelled at Ben. He ran to his daughter's side and grabbed Ben's arm, pulling him away. "Don't touch her!"

Shayne took it and got it wet before scrubbing the soap against the rag. Setting it down, he cleared his throat "sit down in that chair. hands in your lap, mouth open" he instructed her, before pausing "actually. Bend over the chair and open your mouth"
Ben glared "don't touch her?! She tied my daughter up so she couldn't seatbelt and crashed it! If you're not man enough to take a switch to her bare ass, then I am!" he grabbed the arm that she had been favoring.
Carla let out a scream of pain "don't! It hurts" she said, tears brimming in her eyes. "It was supposed to be a stunt car! Yes, it was all my idea and February just went along with it! But--we thought it was a stunt car. The storm worked! I'm sorry, ok, but she's been a big bully and we felt like she needed to be punished!"
Ben glared "good! I hope it's broken you little bitch!" he shook his head. "you are not her parent! I ought to whip you till you're black and blue!"

February whimpered. She hated this. So much. She had never been in trouble. She was the good one, damnit! She really hated this. So much. He was her brother. He shouldn't have to punish her. But the girl had no parents. She swallowed and nodded. "Y-yes sir..." she whispered. February walked over to the chair and bent over it, opening up her mouth.
Nick glared at Ben and pushed him away from his daughter. Now, normally Nick is not physically a fighter. But this was his daughter! "And you know what?! You're not Carla's parent! I'll be dealing with it!"

Shayne made his way to the front. Shoving the rag in her mouth, he forcibly and rigorously scrubbed the roof of her mouth and her tongue. Finally, he rested the rag on her tongue, soapy side contacting it. "Keep that in your mouth until we're done in here" he said. He then started pulling her pants down
As soon as Ben was pushed away, Carla whimpered and cowered behind her father. She bit her lip as she held her arm. God, it hurt so much! And Ben had made it worse. Just then, she heard a knock
"Carla?" the technician stepped inside "hi. I'm here to take you to the x-ray machine"
Carla bit her lip and hugged her daddy's leg. She knew she was too big for that but she was terrified by Ben. "I don't want to. Not without my daddy"

February whimpered when the rag was put inside her mouth. She squeezed her eyes shut. She was sorry! She really was! She had gone along with Carla. Which, okay, she admits was very stupid. But she had never meant to literally hurt anyone. February bit down on the rag, whimpering, as he went behind her and pulled her pants down.
Nick picked up his baby girl and held her close, with her legs wrapped aroundhis waist.
The tech nodded. "Of course. He can come too."

Shayne swallowed and closed his eyes. He thought about everything he was going to have to do for her. Everything he already had. He made so many sacrifices, and she never even knew it. Swinging back, he hit her as hard as he could Carla dug her face in his chest, whimpering as she held her arm carefully. She felt like she was five again. Ben rolled his eyes and went back to the waiting room to wait for the news on Jessa
