Wrestling with Love

Chapter Eight- Palimony

~Talia's point of view~

It's been two weeks since we came back from Vegas. The boys weren't happy they have a sister, and they don't like Farrah. I honestly think it's just because she's not me. I haven't been feeling well. I have a super bad cough; I rarely get sick. This is the first time in two years probably.

Casey: "Damnit, Talia."

Talia: "What?"

Casey: "Please go see a doctor. You need some antibiotics or something for that cough."

Talia: "I'm fine."

I'm not fine. That sentence came out as a wheeze.

Henry: "Tay, don't make me call one of your men."

The bell rings over the door. All three of us look to the door.

Henry: "Can we help?"

Constable: "I'm looking for a Talia Hendrix."

Talia: "That's me."

He sits an envelope on my desk.

Constable: "You've been served."

I go into a coughing fit.

Casey: "I'm calling Jaxon."

I continue to cough as the guy leaves, and I open the envelope.

Talia: "Ga ~cough~ rr~*cough~ et ~cough~

Casey: "Jaxon is on his way. Garrett, what?"

I hand her the papers.

Casey: "He's suing you for Palimony?"

(A/N- Palimony is real. pal·i·mo·ny compensation made by one member of an unmarried couple to the other after separation. "she is suing for palimony" One of the guys I grew up with really did got sued for this.)

Talia: "Yes."

Casey: "You don't have money."

Talia: "I do. Jax and Cage made sure I did."

I go through another coughing fit.

Talia: "They have both putting money into my account for years."

Jaxon comes in.

Henry: "My heavens Talia. You are one lucky bitch."

If I laugh, I'll cough.

Talia: "You know I can't laugh, Henry."

Henry: "I can see. I have eyes."

Jaxon: "What's going on?"

Casey: "The first thing is you need to do is take your girlfriend to the doctor; something isn't right; she's about to cough up a lung. Secondly, jackass is suing Talia for Palimony."

Jaxon: "You're serious?"

Casey hands him the papers.

Jaxon: "Fucking stupid idiot."

I start to cough again.

Casey: "Take her to the doctor. Y'all can deal with the other later."

Jaxon: "Let's go, Talia."

He shoves the papers back into the envelope. I go to stand up and get dizzy. I grab the desk to keep from falling.
