Andrew
It was my monthly day off again. I was sitting in the Dunnager with Jun, keeping my eye on the bar out of habit. She was not around. Yet, sometimes I felt like she was.
She had a long-awaited night out on the town with Asher. They had been fighting so much in the last months I wanted to hurt him badly for it. I had seen how much she was hurt by that, Asher was her mate. You canât fool me into thinking he hasnât seen the hurt on her face. To continue that was incredibly cruel and she didnât deserve any of it.
âYou okay, man?â Jun asked while sipping from his very expensive glass of Fae whiskey. A cigar dangling from his lips.
I grunted. I sipped from my glass of Fae whiskey and glanced towards the door again.
âShe isnât going to miraculously walk into this joint tonight, Andy.â He grunted while taking a long take of his cigar. âYou arenât going to have that happen a second time.â
âIâm not thinking about that.â
âYou know I can tell when you are lying right.â
I felt the urge to knock his ass out.
My Telvice pinged.
Lux: hey
I stared at the text. Instantly worried.
Andrew: Are you okay??
Andrew: Do you need me?
Lux: Relax, Iâm fine!
Lux: Donât worry.
Lux: Just wanted to say I probably wonât be making practice.
Andrew: Whyâs that?
Lux: Ash and I got into a little accident.
Lux; but donât worry, Iâm fine!
Andrew: WHAT?
Andrew: Where are you?
Andrew: Iâm coming over
Lux: No, please. Itâs your night off.
Lux: I shouldnât have said anything.
Lux: But Iâm still getting checked out.
Lux; Iâm probably going to take a day off from practice.
Andrew: Where does it hurt?
Andrew: Are you at the Rivellin Hospital right now?
Lux: Yes
Lux: My arm hurts and I slapped my face pretty hard.
Lux: but no real injuries
Andrew: Is he with you?
Andrew: Can I call you?
Andrew: Did he drink tonight??
Lux: No!
Lux: Heâs getting his head stitched.
Lux: Somebody ran us of the road.
Lux: he fled.
Lux: anyway
Lux: Iâll see you tomorrow, but not at practice okay?
Andrew: I want to see you now
Andrew: I need to make sure you are alright
Andrew: itâs my job
Lux: right
Lux: your job
Andrew: ?
It stayed quiet. I sighed deeply. I cannot sleep tonight without making sure she is alright.
An hour later.
Lux: Are you still awake?
Andrew: Yes
Andrew: You need me?
Lux: I hate to ask on your day off..
Lux: but, they are letting Ash stay overnight
Lux; could you perhaps pick me up?
Andrew: on my way
Andrew: stay there, donât leave the hospital okay?
Andrew; Iâll be there in twenty minutes
Lux: Thank you grumpy pants
Lux: Appreciate it
Andrew: Anytime princess
She walked my way sheepishly, keeping her head down. I took her chin in my hand and flicked her face towards me. It was bruised on the right side. Angry looking purple welts already forming. Her beautiful lip was also swollen to the right side, her eye a little shut. Tomorrow she wonât be able to see through it. I wanted to kill somebody.
She grabbed my wrist. âIt looks worse than it is.â Trying to comfort me. Seeing the anger in my expression.
âDoes it hurt?â
âThey gave me some sedatives so no. Not really.â
