Chapter Seventeen

Ivy

“He seems like a nice guy.” Each hour that passed, Ian seemed perkier, more energetic, but that wasn’t saying much. At least he was conscious and coherent.

By now his smirk had returned that I usually wanted to smack right off his stupid damn face. Now I just told myself to cool it. Ian was getting better. That was what counted. I shuddered to think how close I had come to losing him.

Shae had left the room a while ago, talking quietly into his phone, probably ordering one of his father’s security men to get to Ian’s room.

“He is,” I said quietly and without showing my true feelings after seeing confirmation in Shae’s eyes that he was the reason my brother had got his ass kicked.

Not even that was true, not really. I was angry as hell with myself because it was my fault for getting involved with a guy I met while he was thrown from a van in the middle of the night.

“Seems like it, you know because of the guys who beat the hell out of me just to get to him. Apparently.”

Oh that was rich, coming from him. “Guys who wouldn’t have been able to get to you if you hadn’t decided to leave the hospital just to have a little fun.”

And here we were again, my anger at Shae resurfacing, but clearly I was still pissed off at Ian, too. “Don’t even try to put this on me, Ian. You acting like a child is why you’re in this situation so don’t forget that!”

“Don’t you think I know that?”

As outrage bubbled out of me, his monitors went crazy, beeping and screeching and doing pretty much everything in their power to tell the whole world I was yelling at my brother. Who’d just woken up from a coma. Damn, I sucked at being a big sister. I needed to just shut up and be thankful my brother was awake.

“Actually I’m not sure what you know, other than I’m smothering you, Ian. Like you pointed out, you’re a grown man and free to do what you want. No matter how stupid it is. But if you want to prove that, maybe don’t do stupid shit like leaving the hospital to drink beer with your buddies before the doctor tells you to.”

“I got it, okay?”

“Everything all right in here?” Another nurse, a young black woman with an adorable pixie style cut stepped inside, a concern on her cocoa brown face.

“Yep. Just a little disagreement between siblings.” I smiled sweetly to alleviate her worry.

“Your brother needs to rest,” she said, her words stern and edged with something that sounded a lot like anger.

“You’re right. He does.” I turned to Ian and gave him one final look that was equal parts love and disgust.

“I’m leaving right now, so don’t worry, nurse. The patient is all yours.”

I picked up my bag and got ready to get the hell out of there. Home was where I needed to be. Alone with just me and my thoughts.
