Prisoner- Chapter 57
After the day we'd had I decided to get a hotel room. That way we'd be comfortable and somewhat safe. I really was beginning to think this was one of my better decisions that I've made for the flock's best interest. I guess we'd know for sure by morning tomorrow.
"Here it is." I said standing in front of our hotel room door.
I slid the key in and pushed the door open for the flock.
There were two beds and a rollaway and a chair in the corner. Perfect for us.
"Angel." I said turning to my baby. "You take the first bath, don't be long."
She smiled them disappeared into the bathroom.
Nudge sat on one of the beds, Iggy sat on the other. Fang was standing with his back against the wall and looked like he might be in pain. It's hard to tell with Fang.
"Gazzy, come here." I said motioning for him to walk over to the chair in the corner of the room that I was waiting by.
He sat down and I immediately began looking him over.
"We need to keep you off that knee." I said letting out a breath I seemed to have been holding. He looked unhappy, very unhappy, so I ruffled his blond hair.
"You okay?" I asked feeling my heart break as a tear slid down his cheek.
"It hurts." He said looking up at me and quickly wiping the tear from his cheek.
"Knee or is your back still hurting?" I asked cocking my head to the side.
"Both."
"Stand up."
He did as told and I pulled his shirt up a little to see a large bruise on his back. I slowly closed my eyes at the sight and regained my composure. I put on a fake smile and lowered his shirt.
"There's a bruise, but not too bad."
He nodded then sat back down in the chair.
Angel came out of the bathroom and I motioned for Gazzy to go take his bath. He made his way over to the bathroom slowly and finally disappeared behind the door.
"Ange, come here." I said waving her over.
She walked over to me looking nice and clean.
"Does anything hurt?"
"Just a couple bruises and this cut." She said looking down at a medium size cut on the palm of her small pale hand.
"It's clean now." I said with a smile that she returned.
"Fang, can you grab a bandage out of your bag?"
"And Total?" Angel asked.
Fang lifted Total out of the bag.
"Bout time." He muttered walking over to Angel and I.
"Shut it." I warned and he did.
Fang gave me a bandage then returned to his spot against the wall.
I laid it across Angel's cut then kissed her hand.
"All done."
"Thanks Max." She said putting her arms around my neck and giving me a squeeze.
"You're welcome."
Gazzy popped out of the bathroom.
"Nudge, your turn." I said turning to look at her. "And remember, be quick."
She nodded and I was surprised at her silence.
"Ig." I laid my hand on his shoulder.
"Hm?" He asked looking like I'd snapped him out of thinking.
"What hurts?"
"Nose." He said simply.
I smirked, "Well, I think that's because you broke it."
"That would explain it." He said with a nod.
I let out a small laugh.
"Yeah, it would." I agreed.
I cleaned the blood from his face and checked to make sure no other bones in his face had been broken, which they hadn't.
Nudge emerged from the bathroom.
"Your turn to clean up." I said to Iggy as I walked over to Nudge.
He smiled then made his way the bathroom carefully, so he didn't run into something.
"Nudge, how you feeling?" I asked kneeling in front of her.
"Okay, but my shoulder hurts. I hit against the wall and now it's swelling." She explained all in one breath of air.
"Try not to move it too much." I said standing up. "There's nothing we can do for it."
She nodded and I made my way over to Fang.
Iggy walked from the bathroom.
Fang smirked then walked toward the bathroom.
I rolled my eyes. He thought he'd escaped from me looking him over for injuries, but I'd just bug him about it later.
"Bed time." I said to the younger flock members.
Nudge and Angel shared a bed and Iggy and Gazzy shared the other.
The flock was fast asleep five minutes later.
Fang walked out of the bathroom and made a motion for me to go on in.
After I was done with my shower I walked over to Fang who was sitting in the chair in the corner looking out the window.
"What hurts?" I asked him, now standing looking down at him.
"Nothing." A lie.
"Fang." I said narrowing my eyes on him.
He looked up at me looking like he was having a debate on whether to actually tell me what was going on or not.
"Neck and ribs." He said looking away from me.
"You're lucky I don't break your neck for lying to me." I said with a small smile.
I lifted his shirt and felt my breath catch.
I felt my cheeks heat up as Fang's gaze rested on me as I looked over his stomach. His perfectly molded abs were partially flawed by a large bruise. I pressed gently around the area of the bruise, then lowered his shirt.
"So?" He questioned.
"Two broken." I said standing up and moving to check his neck out.
"Great." He muttered sarcastically.
"Your neck looks pretty banged up too." I said seeing bruises across the whole back side.
I moved so I was in front of him again.
"You need to start telling me when you're hurt." I scolded.
"Before you lecture me, how about we treat your injuries." He said standing up making his jaw tighten and his eyes wince the slightest bit. He was in pain.
He put his hands on my face and turned it so he could better examine the cut on my cheek.
"Doesn't look too deep." He said pulling his hands away.
"I'll get a bandage." He whispered moving over to his bag and pulling one out.
He came back and gently placed it on my cut.
We were close and I wanted to kiss him so bad right then.
"This bruise on your forehead must have hurt." He said gently sliding his fingers across it.
"Probably what knocked me out." I said with a sigh.
"You were knocked out?" He asked looking concerned.
"Yeah, funny isn't it?" I asked noticing he wasn't seeing the humor, so I guess I'd just have to spell it out for him. "I mean the fact that you and I were the only ones that were knocked out and we are two of the most hard headed and stubborn people in the world."
He smirked. "So you admit you're stubborn?"
I gave him one last glance then sat in the chair in the corner.
"I've got first watch." I said looking out the window. "You can have second."
He looked at me, crossing his arms.
"Don't argue." I said looking at him.
He held back whatever he was going to say and laid down in the rollaway.
