He took the things off Pedro, and before he could thank him, he was told that his man just called, the ambulance would arrive shortly. Pedro was excused and Hector began to look over his face with the small mirror. He let out a slight groan as he saw the damage done to his nose, he hoped they would be able to straighten it out, he didn't like how crooked it now was. He began to wipe away at the blood covering his face, and was whimpering as he did so. Once his face was clean the gashes on his forehead, eyebrow and cheekbone was noticeable. So was the swelling literally everywhere on his face. He was angry, he wasn't going to look so good for a few weeks at this rate, he figured.
Ramon had been studying Hector the entire time, and was still very angry, but also annoyed. He waited until he had placed the ice against his head before he spoke.
"You are in pain yes?" He said simply. He immediately noticed how Hector straightened up, trying to act tough he thought.
"Not really, its looks worse than it is."
"Then it can't be bad at all." He said coldly. "But with those pathetic noises you were making I would have though their was something bad happening to you." He tried to keep his temper in check and kept reminding himself that Hector was his brother, so don't go too hard on him.
"Well, I have a broken nose, and I wouldn't be surprised if more wasn't damaged under the skin, you know." He said, again trying to act tough, Ramon noticed. Is this what he always does? He thought, did he do this tonight to look good to me?
"So, if you are making those stupid noises because of your face, just think of how bad they are going to feel." He snapped, allowing his anger to get the better of himself.
"She never should have said those things! She was being disrespectful Ramon, I thought you would understand that!" He also snapped his words, hoping it would get his point across.
"You know what Hector, I am starting to believe that the only reason you made this mess, was to impress me. But you didn't." As he said the words he saw how much they had hurt him, but he tried not to show it.
"Ramon, when have I ever been able to impress you since he came along?" He waited a beat, to watch the ambulance approach, its lights and sirens were off but it was driving at a very fast speed. "You can deal with this!" He said hurtfully before getting up and leaving. He walked across the dry ground and into their luxurious home. He climbed the staircase and went in his room looking the door behind him. He sat down on the edge of his bed and finally allowed his tears to creep out down his face as he sobbed quietly.
