talking outside the door.
“Listen, I need you to stay here and hold down the fort for me. I have to go back to Seattle and handle some issues. They found the fuck and you know I have to make sure my girl is safe. Please protect her and the rest of my family.”
“You know you don’t need to ask twice. Are you sure you are going to be okay going alone? I could leave Milo here to look after the girls.”
“No man, I need the both of you to look after all of them. I thought you would want to stay here. You seem to be spending a lot of time with my sister.” Oh my, Jackson noticed Mike’s attention to me.
“She’s a nice girl after you get passed her biting attitude, but no when the coast is clear I’m going back to Boston.” I stepped back as I heard that. I clutched my chest as it ached. I thought the tears I shed last night after his lack of concern were over, but the fact that he was leaving for good brought them back. I limped to the shower and got control of myself.
It took the rest of the day to feel normal again. It was late when my mom came into the room to tell me I had a visitor. She helped me down the stairs and down in the living room waiting for me was Rick.
“Hey Rick, what’s up?” I was glad to see him because even though he thought we couldn’t be together he still cared enough to stop by.
“I wanted to see how you were doing. I know we ended what we had, but I needed to see that you were going to be fine. I know your lug of a boyfriend isn’t going to let that happen, so I just wanted to wish you the best.” We spoke for about ten more minutes before my mom came and brought me my medicine.
It was about two minutes later that they hit me full force. I was suddenly so tired I yawned.
“I’m sorry I must be boring you,” Rick said in embarrassment. Actually we had a very stimulating conversation.
“No you are not. It is these pain pills.” I shrugged
“Yeah your mom did just bring you like five to take.” he chuckled. Why couldn’t I want the less confusing and frustrating guy? No I have to want the guy who wants me one minute then not the next.
“Well I’ll get going. Do you need me to help you up the stairs or anything?”
“No she doesn’t.” Growled an angry Mike, who magically appeared when I hadn’t seen him all morning. He avoided me all day and I was partially glad for it. I wish he would just leave already.
“No, I can handle it myself, but thank you. You are a true gentleman.” I kissed his cheek, and he blushed while I heard a rumbling growl coming from the big ass in the doorway. Rick passed by Mike, but I couldn’t tell what he said to Mike.
I slowly walked to the door, so I could go up to my room, but Mike wouldn’t let me pass, and before I could argue I was in his arms as he carried me up the stairs.
“What the hell is wrong with you, you big buffoon? You are going to tear your stitches.” I shouted out of concern.
“Don’t worry about me, little girl. You obviously didn’t when you kissed him.” He said with venom dripping from every word. We reached my bedroom door, he opened it, walked in before he decided to he put me down.
“You know you are a confusing ass. What does it matter if I gave him a kiss on the cheek? You don’t want me anyway. You are going back to Boston.” Before I could react he pinned me against the wall.
“I don’t want you? How many pills have you taken? I told you to make a choice about us and you tell me you are going to New York and saying our relationship would fail. I took that as your choice. What am I supposed to do, wait around while you have your lover boy with you, following you around like a lost puppy?”
“What am I supposed to do, drop everything for a man who thinks I have a bad attitude and can’t make up his mind? That isn’t a very bright thing to do.” I was starting to get tired from the pills and the heartache I suffered. Mike noticed the fatigue and carried me to bed.
“Sleep.” he
