“We know you’re upset with them, but we asked them not to tell you.” Dad has been talking in circles for the last few minutes.

I’m hurt by Dad and Kel as well. The most frustrating thing is that I know I’m making a big deal out of the fact that everyone wanted me safe.

Deep down I know there’s more to it than being lied to, or rather not being told everything. They didn’t exactly lie, but they didn’t tell me the truth either.

It’s that my feelings for them are bigger than anything I’ve ever experienced. Now that this is over, what comes next? Are we together forever?

We are too young for that, right? I mean they’ll get bored of me at some point and then the break will be worse and the hurt unfathomable.

It already is. Keeping them away will hurt now, just as it would later.

I take deep breaths and am unaware of my fallen tears until suddenly Ash is catching them with his fingers.

He sits on my bed and brings me to his chest. “I’m so sorry,” Ash whispers against the top of my head.

“I did what I wanted. It was selfish, I know that, but I was so deathly afraid of something happening to you. I’ll leave you alone forever if I have to. It will be hard, but I’ll do it. I love you, Cas, for now and forever. There are things I need to tell you, but they have to wait until you’re better. Can you give me later?” Ash backs away to look into my eyes. His amber ones are blood shot and desperate.

The guys appear behind him, and I nod. Before I can say anything back to him, a nurse comes in the room, yelling.

“Unbelievable. You two have been out for two days and as soon as you wake up, you’re already causing trouble. You can’t just leave your bed when you please after what you’ve been through, Mr. Harlow.” Ash pays the nurse no mind as he kisses me with a chaste, soft peck on the lips.

He gets up and follows her out. Not before looking at Kel. “Sorry about your hand, man.” His words draw my eyes to Kel’s hands. One is missing.

Ash is gone, but the others are still standing around the end of my bed. “What happened?” I ask. Kel laughs.

“Had to cut it off to escape.” He holds up the arm with the missing hand.

“Ash must have seen it in the warehouse room I was kept in.” My stomach churns as I vaguely remember seeing something that resembled a dead animal.

“That’s what that was?” the guys say while I’m still thinking about it. Kel chuckles and nods. I fail to see why he finds this so funny.

Although Kel and I do use dark humor to survive mentally. I suppose I shouldn’t be shocked, but I’m upset for him.

“It’ll be fine. I can still fight with one hand and I’ll teach myself to fight with my forearm. Let’s not make this about me, okay?” Kel presses.
