In The City


Part Six

"So you're going to marry a bad girl huh? Way to go bro." Zac teased tossing the latest newspaper their way. "You want to find out how bad." Naomi teased getting in his face. "Oh God that's cute. Look she's got little freckles. Did you see them Ike? I mean have you even looked at her face yet or are you still stuck gawking at her butt." Zac teased. "Isaac Hanson did you tell them about the tiny pants?" Naomi turned accusing, shaking a finger at him. "No he didn't. What about these tiny pants?" Zac asked, adding, sounds interesting you know, butt gawking and the tiny pants, news at eleven." "You are like so dead if I get my hands on you." Naomi squealed as Zac took off running. "I have to see these tiny pants. Are we talking pants or panties here." Zac asked circling around and heading back into the gameroom. "Grab you woman when she comes by I'm getting tired." Zac asked heading out the other door. "Hey babe. I'm suppose to grab you according to Zac." Isaac shared. "Did he say where? Knowing the little perv and his butt fetish." Naomi asked and the room roared. "I am not a perv and I'm really not a butt man like Isaac." Zac insisted. "Oh a breast man huh?" Naomi asked. "No, no I like a nice personality doesn't everyone?" Zac said straight faced. "Really a nice personality, hun maybe we should buy him a dog instead of introducing him to Jessy." Naomi suggested. "Yeah if all he wants is personality, Jessy is way to pretty for him then. Who else do we know her age? Hey maybe Ash's younger brother. What do you think Tay?" Isaac asked. "Jimmy no way. I want to meet her. Naomi I'm sorry I teased you it wasn't funny and it wasn't nice. Okay? Please?" Zac pleaded, adding, "I didn't tell him to grab you, I asked him to grab his woman cuz I was getting tired of running." "Well that's no fun. I'm going to go call Jimmy." Isaac teased. "You can grab me anytime." Naomi offered heading towards Isaac who covered up the newspaper. "Isaac Hanson." Naomi accused. "Naomi it's a rag and I don't want you to look at it okay?" Isaac explained. "I can't believe you're treating me like a child. Who do you think you are? You sound like them. Do this, don't do that." Naomi ranted, getting angrier and angrier. "Babe I didn't mean it like that." Isaac tried to apologize. "If you dare say it's what's best for me, I'll scream. I just may scream anyway." Naomi warned, sighing loudly and throwing her hands up in the air before turning and running out of the room, to the entryway and out the door. Before he could reach her she was backing his car out of the driveway. "Now what do I do. I made the statement you don't control me. Whoopie, now what do I do with me." Naomi thought. "Ah ha. I'll shop." Naomi said pulling into the parking lot of Zats, her favorite place to shop. "Congratulations. I wondered if you'd come back now that you're famous." a clerk she recognized greeted. "Hey Mary. I'm famous huh? Because I'm engaged to Isaac Hanson?" Naomi asked. "Nah you're the Blue Rose Skater." Mary teased and they both laughed. "I just got the swimsuits in but I haven't unpacked them yet, you still interested?" Mary asked. "Sure am. I'm holding out for someplace warm for our honeymoon." Naomi insisted. "I have two racks of summer stuff right over there." Mary said pointing in the right direction before heading into the backroom. Naomi was looking at the summer wear, picking out items to try on when she first noticed the four girls staring at her and she figured they recognized her from the newspaper articles. "Yeah it is you. You ain't marrying him. You hear me." the biggest one warned. As Naomi tried to back away she found she was surrounded by the other three. "You ain't going no where." one of them said pushing her back to the first one. "I don't want any trouble." Naomi said as the first blow landed and suddenly the whole side of her head hurt and she felt something warm running down into her ear, dripping down her neck. "Uhhhh."she moaned as she fell backwards feeling the second blow to her back, followed by one to the side as she was pushed back to the first girl who lifted a knee shoving it into her stomach before someone grabbed and arm, flinging her into the wall. "Urghhh." Naomi moaned hitting the wall. "What is going on? Help! Help!" a customer entering the store screamed pulling the fire alarm before racing back to the street scream they were trying to kill her. The fire alarm brought the attention of everyone on the street and a passing police car. "You have to help her, there's four of them. They're killing her." she screamed frantically and the police called it in as his partner headed to the store noticing the four through the window. As his partner joined him he covered the back door and as soon as he was in place the officer entered with his gun drawn as ambulance and two more police cars arrived. "This is the police everyone put your hands up so I can see them. Everyone." the first police man ordered as back up arrived and soon the four were detained as the witness identified who was doing what. The store clerk identified Naomi but not by name by the fact she was engaged to Isaac Hanson and the Blue Rose Skater. A car was dispatched to the cafe to see if anyone could identify her. "Walker you have to come. The police are here and they say Naomi has been hurt. She's on her way to St. John's." Bill called the Hanson house. "Oh my Lord please let her be okay. We're on our way." Walker said loading everyone into the van, racing to Naomi's. "Pick up." Walker fretted dialing Naomi's house and the machine answered. He waited to leave a message, "Isaac? Boys? Anyone pick up the phone, this is your father." he repeated over and over. "Yeah Dad it's me Zac. We didn't hear we were in the gameroom. What's up?" Zac asked and he relayed what he had been told ad that they were almost there. Taylor and Zac stayed with the kids as Isaac loaded into the van and they made their way to St. John's emergency room. "Yes Naomi Merchant where is she?" Isaac asked at the front desk. "Yes Mr. Hanson, Office White, your fiance is listed as Jane Doe until she has been identified. She's been worked over pretty good, are you sure you want to do this, I'm sure your father would do it for you." the officer suggested. "No I want to see her now." Isaac insisted as his parents joined him for support. "Oh my God why?" Isaac gasped as he entered the room and raced to her side. "She hasn't gained consciousness yet son, so we haven't been able to ask her that." the officer shared. "Oh babe you have to be okay, please come back to me." Isaac pleaded bending down and kissing her sweetly. "Owww" she moaned. "Naomi wake up babe. Please babe wake up?" Isaac pleaded. "I, I....saac." she finally whispered. "Yeah babe I'm here. Wake up babe, please." Isaac pleaded again. "It hurts."she mumbled. "Good she's responding. Dr. Richards we need a few xrays to see what damage has been done. If you'd step back." the doctor ordered. "No Isaac." Naomi gasped as he let go of her hand and she drifted back into unconsciousness. "Isaac get that hand in yours and get her to wake up. She needs to stay awake and alert so we know what is going on. Our only other means is xrays. Try and wake her again." Dr Richards asked. "I'm here babe. Naomi you have to wake up. Wake up hun." Isaac asked. "No they hurt me." she mumbled. "Naomi you have to wake up and tell us what happened and where you're hurt." Isaac insisted as he stroked her hand. "Sweetie it's Mom. It's important for you to wake all the way up. Try baby." Diana said moving to her other side lightly touch her forehead the only thing not bruising. "Hey baby it's Daddy. You need to wake up. Talk to us sweetie." Walker asked. "It hurts." Naomi moaned. "What hurts sweetie?" Walker asked. "My head by Mom's hand. I hit the wall when the threw me." she whispered. "Anything else baby?" Walker asked. "My tummy. I think she kneed me or kicked me." she whispered. "Oh my poor baby." Diana gasped leaning and lightly kissing her forehead as she fought the tears. "Baby how many?" Walker asked. "Four girls. One big one in front and three behind me." Naomi answered. "Do you remember what they looked like?" Walker asked. "My head really hurts. The big one, short blonde hair, heavy set. The three all about my height, two brunettes, one long, one shoulder length. The other was a blonde, long hair, bad complexion like the long haired brunette." Naomi remembered as tears flowed. "Babe it's okay, you're safe now." Isaac promised as he kissed her tears away. "Oww." Naomi whimpered as his hand glided across her stomach. "Babe what's wrong?" Isaac asked lowering the blanket, pulling up her gown exposing a large reddened area. "Excuse me, we should get photos. I'll call the station and arrange it." the officer explained. "If you'll excuse me, I need to examine her." Dr Rchards insisted. As he poked and prodded, "I'm going to be sick." Naomi said as she began gagging. Diana grabbed a bucket just in time as Isaac ran to the bathroom for a wet rag. "Baby we're sorry but do you hurt anywhere else?" Walker asked and Naomi slowly rolled towards Diana as Isaac's eyes grew gazing at the reddened areas a total of six, until he noticed something higher and untied her gown revealing even more marks. The doctor quickly poked and prodded, "Is he done it hurts." Naomi asked. "Yeah babe." Isaac answered tying her gown back up and she slowly rolled back, cuddling into his arms. "Hold me?" she asked. "This I can handle." Isaac answered holding her gently as she relaxed. "Can't go to sleep babe." Isaac insisted. "I'm not. Just relaxing in my special spot." she answered. "What is it?" Isaac asked as she tensed up. "Isaac she, she said I'd never marry you." Naomi whispered as she began to cry. "She's wrong. We're getting married right away. Babe you don't go anywhere alone no matter how mad you get at me, promise me." Isaac pleaded, adding, "I can't lose you now that I finally found you." "Who is she? Do you know her even?" Naomi whispered. "Have you detained the four?" Isaac asked. "Yes sir. Arrest on the premise, identified by a witness to the head blow, knee to the stomach and wall slam sir." the officer answered. "Can you get me a picture so I can see if I recognize the person who threatened her then beat her?" Isaac asked. "Certainly sir. I'll take care of it right away." the officer said leaving the room. "I'm concerned about the blow to the stomach and one of the blows low on your back in the vicinity of your kidney." Dr Richards shared who then explained to Diana what to look for. "Mom thanks for letting me get out of here." Naomi said as Walker brought the van around and they headed home. Naomi stayed with them for the next couple of weeks as she healed and got stronger. The first few days it was impossible to separate Naomi and Isaac because he felt so guilty over what happened, he did know her attacker. At first she felt so poorly all she did was sleep in his arm but as she got stronger the more she insisted on her privacy. "You do blame me or you wouldn't ask me to leave." Isaac insisted. "I can't take anymore." Naomi said throwing her arms into the air storming into the bathroom. "What are you doing?" Isaac asked following her. "Umm let's see, she's standing naked in the bathroom. Isaac why are you doing this to me? I came in here to shower yes but mostly I came in here to get away from you." Naomi blurted out regretting the words the minute they parted her lips. The bluntness of her words was like a slap in the face and she could see the hurt in his eyes. "Then I'll leave you alone." Isaac barely got out before turning and walking back into the bedroom, heading for the door. "No Isaac. Please don't leave?" Naomi called out as he opened the door. "Why not it's what you want, me to leave." Isaac replied slamming the door. She heard the entryway door slam shut as she raced to the window watching him get into the car and drive off. He naturally headed to Naomi's house. "Who's car?" he wondered as he pulled into the drive. "Who would know the gate code and have keys to the house?" he mumbled parking next to the blue Ford pickup, dialing the house. "Mom let me talk to Naomi, someone's a the house." he explained. "Son she's asleep." Diana said finding Naomi sprawled across the bed in her towel as she covered her up, adding, "You be careful." "Yeah Mom. They have the gate code and a key, they must know her." Isaac shared. "Maybe you should wait until she tells you who is stayng in the house. Come home." Diana suggested. "I didn't think of it that way. I guess I am snooping. You're right, I'll be right there." Isaac answered getting back in the car and heading home.
