I rolled over on my side and stared up at the man watching me. He had been sitting on a nearby chair for a while now and hadn't spoken a word. I was grateful for him saving me and I recognized him as the same man from the bar.
It was an awkward silence and the more he stared the more the tension grew.
"Why would you be so stupid?" The man asked glaring at me.
"Stupid?" I asked confused.
"Screaming and hollering after all the shit you caused you thought they wouldn't come for you?"
I let out a whimper and hung my head.
He was right. I shouldn't have left their watch or been out on my own. I knew they'd come for me, but I ignored it. Apparently, the guys who hurt me had been arrested so at least I could leave without getting hurt.
"Sorry... I just wanted the picture..." I said letting out a sigh.
"Is that picture really that important?"
I shrugged my shoulders and looked down at the sheets.
"If you got that picture what would you do with it?"
I dropped my head back against the bed and looked up at the ceiling.
After everything that just happened I needed a break from the news and stories, but what would I do.
"Let's say you could magically get that photo you've been so bloody obsessed over, then what?"
He was right. Now that I was taking a break from photography and news what would I do with it? If it let it out to the press I could make a lot of money, but it could also cause a lot of problems. Technically because of my latest story, I got quite the amount. Even so, I was still curious to know who exactly was behind everything. Even if I couldn't show the world after all this time I spent trying I still wanted to know.
"Maybe I'll just keep that secret to myself," I said while twidling my fingers.
"Really? You would really keep it to yourself after trying so hard? After bugging and pestering them for so long?" He asked not believing me.
I crossed my arms and looked away.
I couldn't blame him for not believing me. No one would believe me if they heard what I was saying.
"I guess so. I mean I don't know... maybe I should just leave them alone..."
"Leave them alone?? Now you decide that?!"
A small growl left my lips and I shot a glare in his direction.
"LEAVE ME ALONE I'M DEALING WITH TRAUMA!"
That's when something clicked. The man that had saved me was him, but how did he save me? I couldn't exactly remember how he got me back here but something felt odd. Almost like a big piece of my memory was missing.
He rested his hand against his forehead, staring down at the ground he sighed.
"God damnit... you're an idiot."
I huffed in response and rolled my eyes.
"I don't want to argue, I want to eat!" I said clapping my hands together.
"Forget it I'm dropping you back off with Brawler.."
"Huh??"
He glanced up towards me with an annoyed expression.
"You're too stressful to deal with."
"Nooo please don't he'll beat the shit out of me for pulling a stupid stunt like this!"
But he didn't listen.
Getting up off his chair he began to walk towards me.
"H-Hey hang on! We can talk this through right? Heh we're friends righ—EEK"
He reached out towards me and grabbed onto my waist. My face flushed pink and I grabbed onto the headboard.
"No no no please I'm sorry! I'll stop talking see! See!" I shut my mouth, but he only raised an eyebrow before dragging me closer to the edge of the bed.
I held onto the headboard for my dear life.
This went on for another 5 minutes till he eventually stopped trying. His hands stayed rested on my waist as I leaned my head against the board.
"Fine..."
"YAY!" I cheered out and let go of the headboard.
I turned back to look at him and a shiver ran through my body.
His cold hands were still on my waist. One of his hands was extremely cold. Not just cold but metal?
"Your hand?" I reached my hand out to grab his metallic hand.
It felt frozen to the touch.
His eyes widened for a brief moment and he retracted his hand.
"D-Don't do that." He muttered.
"A-Ah! Sorry!" I looked away in embarrassment.
There was a short awkward silence before he finally spoke up,
"I know it's a bit early for you to be moving around, but would you like to go outside for a bit?"
