Heartache • Tk Twin Sister (A Fox 911 Lone Star/ Fox 911 Fanfic)

Chapter 29

And then I can tell myself
What the hell I'm supposed to do
And then I can tell myself
Not to ride along with you

──────⊱⁜⊰──────

Today was the day that I was supposed to get a call from the Deputy Chief. Anxiety is radiating off of me with every step I take.

It was about 7:56 when I walked into the fire station, which since we are technically supposed to be on call by 8 means I have to get ready in 4 minutes.

As you can tell, it's been a rough morning.

Rough 24 hours.

Carlos and I haven't been in contact with each other since last night when I told him off, and when I finally went to sleep last night, I regretted the whole conversation.

But on the other hand, it was a little bit easier to go home to Myles after I told someone about what happened. My hand is still sore, and now extra bruised, and to add a cherry on top, Myles asked me what happened this morning when he saw my bruise. Good thing I was running late, and I didn't have time to tell him.

I snuck past Judd and Dad who were sitting down at the bar talking about something, and I made my way upstairs and into the locker room.

But I wasn't sure if I felt comfortable in there when I saw Paul rubbing lotion on Mateos's shoulder.

"Good Morning?" I asked skeptically and set my bag down in front of the locker.

"Raya!" Paul and Tk both throw their arms up and yell my name out.

I turn my head and lower my eyebrows to look at them with a confused look.

"It's me!" I say flatly.

"Raya, Why don't you come on over and look at Mateo's new tattoo?" Paul says as he wipes his hands on a stray towel sticking out of his locker.

"Dude, if it's something, Marvel, that would be so sick," I tell him and walk over to his shoulder.

"Wow, Mateo that's nice," I tell him and pat his other shoulder.

Paul and Tk are staring at me so I mouth at them. "What?"

Mateo starts pulling down his shirt but Tk stops him by yelling my name.

"Raya! Why don't you look at the detail in the tattoo."

Mateo lifts his shirt again and nods his head.

"Sweet right?"

"Yeah, I like—Wowza."I slap my hand over my mouth and look at Paul and Tk with wide eyes.

The tattoo is very nice and well done.

Except for the spelling.

Instead of saying, Guardian Angel

It says, Guardian Angle.

Like right, obtuse, acute, whatever.

Once I spit out the 'wowza' Mateo is quick to pull his shirt down and turn to us.

"What's wrong?" He asked and I lay my face as flat as I could.

"Nothing, nothing, I just fucking love it. It's nice. It's acute tattoo." Tk and Paul both turn around and hold in their laughs at my amazing pun.

"It fits you, Mateo." I pat his shoulder and walk away to my locker.

I side-eye Tk as I pull out my uniform and start to untie my shoes.

A few minutes of painful silence fills the room, but as the three of us watch Mateo leave the room the ache becomes almost unbearable. Once I think he's a far enough distance away, I turn to look at the 2 who are staring at each other and then look at me.
