Craig POV

I looked myself in the mirror at my swollen eye, it wasn't as bad as it felt. It felt like I was hit in the face with a brick. Looking down at my throat, I gritted my teeth at the dark marks beneath it.

Shaking my head, I remembered how June lifted me up like a child, held me in the air like I was a baby doll.

The embarrassment was unreal as I used my hoodie to cover my neck. Slipping on some sweats, I closed my bathroom door as Olivia stood at my bedroom door. Sucking my teeth at her, I walked further into my room as she stayed at the door.

Olivia: how are you this morning?" she asked.

Me: please, like you give a fuck." I snapped, cleaning up my room.

Olivia: I do, genuinely. That's why I am at your door." she said. I turned to her slowly as she stood there.

Me: who sent you?" I blurted.

Olivia: Nobody-"

Me: oh please, your Case's sister and Will's girl. Who sent you?" I repeated harshly. She looked over her shoulder before folding her arms. Fanning her off, I turned to my bag and began packing it as she stayed there.

Olivia: My brother." she said.

Olivia: He wanted me to check on you." she said softly.

I snorted a laugh as I zipped up my bag and turned to face her again.

Me: now why would he send you? When he can send someone else. I don't answer you." I smirked.

Olivia: He thought I would be a better fit to come and ask you." she continued.

Me: well I am doing swell, and you tell your brother not to send you again because the last time you tried to "help" me, things didn't go well." I snapped. She shook her head as I swung my bag over my head.

Olivia: I mean I think things went exactly how you planned." she said.

Olivia: besides getting caught, you were able to get to Cynthia right?"

Me: yeah, but not long enough for me to do what I wanted to do." I spit.

Olivia: what did you want to do?" she asked, coming further into the room. I opened my mouth to tell her, but slowly closed it as she looked at me. Shaking my head I turned and grabbed my phone and turned my lamp off. Heading for the door, she backed out of it as I closed it.

Me: stay out of my business." I snarled close to her. Glaring at her, I walked down the steps and out the front door.

Closing it behind me, I got in my car and started it off quickly, before she could babble her mouth that I was leaving. Backing out the driveway, I caught a glimpse of Ray looking at me from his window. He smirked as I pulled off and down the road.

Lucas POV

Ronica: how does that feel?" she said as I lifted my arm up.

Me: it ain't too bad. Just a little sore." I mumbled looking at the back of Cyn's head.

Me: how is her face?" I said.

Ronica: better." she smiled small. She finished patching me up, before stepping back and looking at it.

Ronica: all done." she said.

Me: thank you sis." I said kissing her forehead. She nodded and left my bathroom, rubbing Cyn on the face as she walked downstairs.

Cyn hadn't talked since the other day, not a word. She had not eaten or slept, she sat up at night and stared at nothing and I would have stayed up with her, but the meds Ron had me on made me so sleepy.
