Chapter 69: Closure

"OH MY GOSH!" I ran up to Damien, Rocco, and a few other guys who had just entered the cage.

"I'm fine, darling," Damien said in a hoarse voice. He was bleeding everywhere. There was dirt all over him. His hair was disheveled and his clothes were torn.

"He's not fine, Naya. He refused to go to the hospital with the others, and said he wanted to see you first." Scar explained. Without Scar standing next to him, Damien would probably be sprawled out on the floor right now.

"And I was stuck in the same car as him, so I couldn't go either." Rocco groaned as he sat down.

"Idiot!" I smacked him and he groaned. "Why would you not go to the hospital?"

"OW! I'm still injured!" He yelled out. "Is it so wrong for me to want to see my girlfriend?"

"Yes. When you look like Prince Philip reincarnated, you need to go to the hospital." I crossed my arms over my chest.

"Wow. I nearly died and you don't care at all." Damien took a seat on one of the chairs. He peered over my shoulders. "What's Violet doing?"

I looked over at the girl whose eyes were fixed on the computer screen. "I don't know. She's been glued to that thing since you left." I turned back to him. "But more importantly. YOU ALMOST DIED?"

"It was nothing," Damien said.

I rushed over to the bar to get some wet paper towels to clean the blood.

"Wes!" I yelled out to the man who wasn't too badly hurt. "Can you bring your car around to take these idiots to the hospital?"

"Sure thing." Wes exited the cage.

"Nothing?" Rocco scoffed. He also looked badly hurt. "Damien, you were this close to seeing the light." Rocco made a tiny space between his thumb and pointer finger.

"WHAT?" I yelled out. "Are you ok?" I touched his face and looked at all his features.

"I'm fine, Belle." Damien looked at Rocco. "Do you not shut up?"

"You can't hide something like that from someone you love. Imagine if the roles were reversed. You would want to know." Rocco told his best friend.

"What happened?" I grabbed another paper towel to wipe his face.

"Come here." Damien tried to hug me, but I pulled away.

"You're hurt." I put my hands on his chest and pushed off. I grabbed the chair next to him and sat down on it, continuing to clean his wounds.

Damien reached down to grab the leg of the chair and pulled me closer to him. "Matteo's dead."

I raised my eyebrows. "Really?"

Damien nodded. "Chuck too."

Instantly, I sat straight up and my face was probably glowing. My mouth was slightly open in shock. "You killed him?"

"I killed him." Damien grabbed my hand. "He can't hurt you again."

I slowly smiled and grabbed his hand and smiled at him. "I love you."

"I love you more."

"Impossible." I dabbed the tissue on his knuckles. "Tell me everything."

Suddenly, the outside door to the cage burst open. I heard screaming and grunts. In came three people.

Leo and Max, with Zoe in between them.

I quickly stood up at the sight of her. She looked terrible.
