"...oh." I could see he was starting to get worried too. "When?"

2016-06-20 03:45:21

●

"Just a few more minutes."

2016-06-20 03:45:50

🌀

"Okay." That wasn't long to Zane. To me it felt like forever.

Of course, after a few minutes Lance couldn't stand their impatience and moved upstairs to retrieve Ivory.

2016-06-20 03:50:53

🌀

I restrained myself and remained waiting in the kitchen, clutching my mug.

Ren was huddled in the corner with their face covered, hand slightly extended towards Ivory and twitching intermittently. They wanted to. But they couldn't move.

●

Lance said nothing as he entered to room, picked Ivory up, and carried her downstairs bridal style.

2016-06-20 03:54:17

🌀

I moved off the counter and towards the stairs as he brought her down. "Ivory?" Zane looked at her and his face fell at the redness around her eyes.

2016-06-20 03:55:23

●

Ivory turned her head towards Zane and Madison. "...Hi." She spoke.

2016-06-20 03:59:08

🌀

"Are you okay? Did they hurt you in any way?" Zane stood up and took her from Lance.

2016-06-20 03:59:38

●

"I'm fine. They didn't hurt me." Not really, but there was literally nothing more that she could do.

2016-06-20 04:02:04

🌀

Not really? "What did they do, Ivory?"

2016-06-20 04:05:28

●

"Nothing. They didn't do anything."

2016-06-20 04:06:09

🌀

"You're lying."

2016-06-20 04:08:25

●

"Not really."

2016-06-20 04:17:20

🌀

"Yes you are. At least tell the truth about what's going on with them."

2016-06-20 04:18:09

●

"They're doing the same thing they're doing when you were in there. Except no biting."

2016-06-20 04:19:54

🌀

"Being completely silent with their headphones on and unplugged? I doubt it. We could hear the yelling."

2016-06-20 04:20:52

●

"Well that's probably what they're doing now." She wanted off this subject.

2016-06-20 04:22:53

🌀

...I sighed a little. Fine. "Here." I handed her the other mug.

2016-06-20 04:23:36

●

She took it and sipped the tea slowly.

2016-06-20 04:25:25

🌀

Zane carried her carefully back to the couch and sat down, hugging her.

2016-06-20 04:31:17

●

She did her best to return the hug, trying to not spill her tea.

2016-06-20 04:32:11

🌀

He moved the tea to the coffee table. I rubbed my nose. Should I just...leave? Talking to her is just annoying her, and Zane has everything under control.

Finding a clinic that required no insurance was one thing, but finding one that didn't background check you was another thing on its own. Eventually she found one. Whether the guy was ALMOST finished medical school didn't matter to her. No. What REALLY angered her was when the test came back positive for chlamydia. At least she had a job now to afford the treatment. She slipped into her apartment that she shared with Beckett. "Oh beckyyyy " She called into the place. "How many people have you been sleeping with?"

2016-06-20 04:46:43

🌀

Beckett was looking through the paper for /actual/ jobs. "Eight max at one time. Why?"
