The Boy Trapped

Chapter 33

Nyxon's POV
She stopped drinking and put the cap back on.

"I-I'm okay."

"You sure?"

"Mhm. Thank you."

I helped her get dressed. I looked at my phone and saw what time it was.

"Are you sure you don't want me to stay home with you?"

"You should go back to work. Please? You've missed enough days because of me."

"Alright. Okay. Take it easy today."

"I will, don't worry."

I got up and got ready for work. I walked over to Colette and kissed her.

"I'll see you later."

"Okay. Bye. I love you."

"I love you too."

Winter ran up to me. I crouched down.

"Hey! Be good to Cole for me."

Winter barked.

"Alright. I'll see you later."

I pet her then stood up. I grabbed my car keys then went to work. I walked in and it was quiet.

"Nyx! Welcome back!"

"Hey Elle."

"How is she?"

"Not good. She had a rough night. She didn't want me to stay home since, I've missed so many days."

"Awww. You could've stayed home for another day."

"She insisted."

"If you have to leave, let me know."

"Thank you."

"Nyxon?"

I turned around and saw Masie.

"Get out."

"I-I'm so sorry."

"You almost killed her."

"I-I know. I-I'm so sorry."

"You ruined our wedding day."

"I-I know."

"Do you though? Do you? I'm traumatized. My love was laying in my arms while she died. I had to watch her lie in a hospital bed, worrying about if she was going to wake up or if she was gone forever. I was told to start making funeral arrangements. Do you know how much that fucked with my head? Did you even think?"

She looked down.

"No. I didn't. I just wanted you to be mine...I didn't mean to do anything like that."

"Well, it's too late. I'm Colette's. I'll never be yours."

She started crying.

"Oh god. I'm not doing this."

I walked over to Elle.

"Oh god. I heard everything."

"I bet, everyone did."

Masie ran off. I rolled my eyes. I went and officially started my day at work.
