HAWK

“Hawk! You're sitting up!” Alessa bursts into the room after Doc grudgingly gives her the okay, and shuts the door behind her, leaving us alone. Fuck, the way she's looking at me, like I'm a goddamn invalid. Like she cares about me. It's fucking embarrassing.

“It was just a fucking gunshot. Calm down.” I try not to wince as I shift. For being “just” a gunshot, it fucking stings.

“Are you even listening to yourself?” She stops right in front of the bed, her fists on her hips and her expression disapproving.

“You can ask Doc if you don't believe me. In one side, out the other, nothing important in between.” I shrug. The last thing I need is her to think I'm some kind of goddamn hero. “No big fucking deal.”

“Did it ever occur to you that you're important? The bullet hit you, and you took it for me.” Her face softens like she's about to fucking cry. “Why did you do it? You hate me.”

“What the fuck?” Does she really think I'm a big enough asshole that I'd let her die? The mother of my child? I can’t tell if I’m horrified or pissed off. Maybe both. “I'm not a fucking monster. Jesus Christ.”

She comes a step closer. “I know you're still pissed at me, but I want to hug you. Can I?”

Fuck, she wants to what? “No.” I wave her off and regret it right away, pain shooting up from my ribs. Her face falls at my rejection, and for a moment I feel like even more of an asshole. But what the fuck does she think? That we’re besties now?

“What can I do?”

“About what?”

“About us. About Izzy. About making this work. I understand you're mad. I understand I've hurt you, but if you refuse to explain it to me, what can I do? How do I fix this?” Her bottom lip quivers and she's blinking like she's doing her best not to cry.

“Fuck.”

“Yeah, fuck. You can swear all you want, like you always do, but it's not going to get us anywhere.”

Is that what she thinks? That we’re headed somewhere? Together? “Well, see? There’s your problem. The other guys are all over you. Isn’t three enough? I'll do anything for Isabella, but there’ll never be an us. You can't ever give me back what you took away, and you know damn well that if we hadn’t found you, we wouldn’t be here right now.” Maybe now, she'll get it.

She gets her expression under control. Her lip steadies. She looks determined. “Fine. But I'm still going to hug you.”

“Fucking what?”

“Well, if you’re going to be mad at me anyway, what do I have to lose? Hate me, if that's what you need.” She leans in and wraps her arms around my torso before I can stop her. Taking care not to press on the bandage, she puts her face against my bare chest and even kisses it. “Thank you for saving my life.”

It'd be fucking easy for me to push her away.
