I Belonged To Him

Chapter 20

L O G A N

Hope's been in the hospital for 43 fucking minutes. "Why couldn't you make out that shit huh?" The guy looks at me guiltily. Better that way, but the other girl is staring at me the whole time, what was her name again? Avery? Oh, I don't fucking care. Mia sits on a chair in the corner and looks at me with wide eyes. God why am I even here at all, I don't give a fuck about that.

Thats what i thought.

And that's the damn problem.
A nurse comes out of the room where Hope is lying. About time.

"You're her family, then?" she asks questioningly.
"We're friends from her but her brother is on his way right now" says Avery or god knows what her name is.

"Sorry then I can't let you in or give any information about her current condition." Without thinking I step forward and start speaking "I'm her fiance, may I see my fiance now" the nurse looks at me and raises her eyebrows skeptical. "Aha, then just follow me" I follow her without looking back.
She opens the white door with 246 written on it in silver paint. "I'll leave you alone then." I give her a nod and then walk to her bed. She looks up and then looks at me in surprise. Yes, I'm surprised too.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" I ask myself that too.
"Checking on you? How are things otherwise?" She looks around the room in surprise. "I don't know, she just said that only families are allowed in, so I was expecting Samuel"
"Samuel is on his way and I said I'm your fiancé"

"What?!"

"I dont repeat myself"

"Anyway, how are you?" She looks overwhelmed and tired . She is currently wearing a black headscarf but it is only tied around her head.
"Oh, I'm fine,its not that bad"
"Of course it was bad, a pot full of hot water fell on you" She just smiles, her left dimple sticking out, another beautiful rarity on her, just a crumple placed on her left cheek.

"I know, I was there." She just wanted to say something, there came a guy with straight blond hair, white t-shirt, light blue jeans, white cap and white sneakers. He looks up and down at me, frowning.

"And who are you?" The guy asks me in a dangerous tone. He can't do anything to me, he's probably 1.90 tall, but he can't get close to me. "I would like to ask you the same?" I answer calmly. Hope looks between us and before the guy could say anything else she starts talking.
"Samuel this is my boss and also a friend of mine and Logan this is my older brother" Aha, this is her brother.
"Hope, shit man, what happened?" He walks over to her and leans towards Hope. "Nothing, just a little bit of hot water fell on me, oh and Mason and Ava are there, did you see them?" Her brother smiles at her and nods. " One day I'm not at home and something like that happens." Hope giggled happily and hugged her brother, while he kissed her on the forehead.
"Come on, the nurse said you can go home, I got you some clothes so you can change, ok?" Hope nods and that's my signal to get the fuck out of here now.
"I'm gonna go, then"

"No, wait, we'll meet at my place first." I also nod to that, while her brother looks at her sternly. I walk out where I meet my sister, Mason and Ava.
"She's fine and can go home, she said we should meet at her place." Mia comes up to me, ava and mason walk beside us too. They drove with me because they don't have a car here. When everyone has boarded there is a certain stillness in the air.

The ride is just as quiet.
Arriving at the door, Mason lifts the flower pot from the dock to find a key underneath with which he locks the front door. Not a minute later the door opens again because Hope and her brother come in. Hope looks like nothing happened. She just smiles, if only I could smile away my problems like that. "What kind of mood is that, come on, I'll make noodles to cook, Samuel be so kind and get the games from the drawer" I walk directly to the stove. "I can make the pasta and you make the sauce"

"alright"
I can make noodles , i mean its the easiest thing there is, just put water in the top of the noodles and a little salt. It can't be that difficult.

Said and done .

An hour later we are all sitting at the dining table while everyone is talking restlessly to each other, I look at Hope and she is sitting in front of me and is just covering her mouth with one hand. "No shit, the sauce tastes great," says Mason. Hope looks down at her food nervously.

But then she lifts her eyes and looks directly into my dark green ones with her light gray eyes. She doesn't smile this time, but she doesn't scowl either, she just looks at me the same way I'm looking at her. Her cheeks are slowly getting red and she just smiles at me and then pokes at her food. I honestly have to admit the sauce tastes really good, I haven't eaten anything so good and homemade for a long time.

Mia smiles carefree and talks to Samuel. Hope is good for Mia, she hasn't been around people like that for a long time, partly because of me but also simply because I don't trust anyone. It's not that I trust hope but I think she's a good person, I didn't do anything wrong to buy her the cafe, she deserves it but sometimes she's a little too good. I had to hire this skater guy at the coffee shop because of her.

[...]

Now we're sitting in the living room, the others are playing Monopoly and I'm just sitting and looking through a case on my phone to decide whether I'll take the case or not. It's about a guy who robbed a bank, he's supposed to get 10 years in jail but his older brother is a old friend of mine and he asked if i could make sure that whatever it takes he only gets 5 years or less. I don't doubt that I won't make it, I will make it, I haven't lost a single case so far, but I don't feel like dealing with it. If I accept it I would have to start working on it tomorrow.

I was about to turn away from my cell phone when it started ringing, unfortunately I don't save anyone except close people, so I don't know who it is and now I have to answer the call. I get up from the couch and immediately get irritated looks, but I don't let that irritate me and walk out the front door. The cool night air hits me. It's already dark outside and it's now 9 p.m.

I put the phone to my ear.

"Hello?" Someone cleared their throat on the other end of the line.
"Hey Logan, it's Blake" Speaking of the devil, Blake Williams is Ian Williams' big brother.
"What do you want ?" He sighs.
"Logan I know you don't owe me any favors but Ian is my little brother and he threw himself into this shit I beg you as an old friend to help me I owe you if you need anything you know you can help report me" damn. I have everything I want and I don't need anything anymore but I can't do that to him.
"I'll see what I can do" he lets out a relieved sigh. "Thanks man. See you"
Then it's probably decided, I'll take the case. I walk back in and see Mia standing in front of me. "Hey, who was that?"
"blake"
She gives me a slightly shocking look.
"Blake Williams?" I nod.
"And what did he want?" she asks me curiously.
"Do you remember Ian? he robbed a bank and I'm supposed to represent him in court," I tell her succinctly.

"But why?"
"I reall don't know Mia, but we have to go now." I bend down to her 1.59cm and kiss her on the head. She nods and walks in, Me right behind her.
"Hey Hope, we have to go" Hope immediately jumps up. "What? But you haven't been here that long! You can stay overnight if you want"

Now I step in "Mia and I really have to go now, thanks for letting us come"

"Okay" She gets up from her seat and hugs Mia and then she walks over to me and stands there a little awkwardly so I just step in there. I wave my hand. "I'll see you tomorrow then." She nods and turns back to her friends who are already watching us. I take Mia's hand and then walk out with her.
