Remember When - Ace Merrill (BOOK 3)

Fine

Oceane flopped against Eyeball as she slumped back from the toilet.

Her loud breathes and heavy pants worried him as he gently pulled her closer.

"He wants to kill me doesn't he?" She asked as she tried to catch her breath.

Eyeball was silent as he wanted to say no but the evidence was pointing to yes.

"You're quiet." She panted out.

"I don't know what to say Artois..." Eyeball mumbled out. "I'm actually scared."

Oceane forced herself to lift her head and look at him.

"I thought you guys were the loud ones?" She forced a laugh as she coughed again.

Eyeball tried to fake a laugh. "Artois you've literally been poisoned and you're joking?!"

Oceane shrugged as she flopped her head down on him again.

"I love you Eyeball." She panted out.

Eyeball shook his head. "Please don't say that."

"Ace won't hurt you." She forced out a laugh and coughed up once more.

Eyeball shook his head again, "I meant don't talk like you're dying!" He tried not to snap at her.

"Dying for your children seems like a pretty good way to go." She breathed out heavily. "Don't you think?"

Eyeball shook his head. "Wouldn't know."

"You'd be a great dad Chambers."

"Stop talking like that Artois, I'll fucking poison you myself."

Oceane brought her hand up to her face as she wiped at her nose. Looking down she saw blood as Eyeball quickly grabbed the towel from the side of the bath and held it up against her nose.

"Where's Ace?" Oceane's muffled voice came through the towel.

"Outside waiting for the ambulance and trying not to kill anyone." Eyeball mumbled as he let her flop against him again.

"Hey Eyeball..." she pulled the towel from her face.

"Yeah Artois,"

"Remember when... when I told you about my first kiss?"

Eyeball nodded. "Salvatore made the guy piss himself."

"Promise me you'll look after Hero the same way?"

Eyeball shook his head. "We ain't doing this so fucking shut-"

His sentence was interrupted with the ambulance's arrival.

"I'm really beginning to dislike this place you know." Vince.

"We all are dipshit now shut up and move over." Seth.

"She's gonna be okay right? Like she'll be fine right?" Charlie.

"As long as she doesn't look at your face, I'm sure she'll survive." Nico.

*****

"Do you think we can go in and see her?" Eyeball.

"Well judging from the door that just slammed in your face when you tried to enter, I'd perhaps say no." Marco.

"Are all you guys arseholes when your worried like this?" Jack grumbled as he looked around ag them all.
