Fuck!

Fuck!

I thought I could handle being in a car with her right now, but I can't.

I was just supposed to drive her straight home in silence. Instead, I asked if she was okay.

Why did I do that, you ask? I don't have a fucking clue.

Maybe because you still love her.

Well of course I still love her but it doesn't matter. She can't know what happened.

Ever.

I pull up to Birdies house and hop out of the car before I can say anything else that I'll regret tomorrow.

As soon as I enter the house with Temperance by my side I hear the sound of a sob rip through the air.

My first thought is someone's crying but I quickly realize it's Birdie.

We turn the corner and enter the living to see a distressed shaking Birdie putting pressure on a wound on Cades arm.

Temperance runs over to her and attempts to stop her shaking and calm her down.

She pulls her away from Cade and strokes her arms.

I walk towards Cade and examine the stab wound.

Most of the bleeding had stopped and it wasn't a deep wound, but it would need some stitches.

"lisa," I paused after I caught myself calling her that nickname for another reason then to piss her off. "Can you go find me a first aid kit."

She looks down at Birdie who is still looks a little terrified, "I'm not leaving Birdie."

"It's okay Temp, I'll be fine. The first aid kit is in my bathroom." Birdie says around a shaky breath.

Temperance nods then runs up the stairs to our right.

Still putting pressure on Cades arm I ask, "Are you alright Birdie?"

She looks shocked that I asked. "Yeah I'm fine. Just a little shaken up."

"What happened tonight?"

"Cade,"She gestures to the half unconscious Cade. "Was walking me home since it was late and he didn't want anything to happen to me cause of the stalker. But I guess the stalker wasn't after me because as soon as I went into the house I heard a scream." She paused.

"So I ran back outside a-and that's when I saw-saw him on the f-floor." She lets out a shaky breath.

"Did you see who did it? The stalker?"

"No. They were already gone." She brings her hand up to her eye and wipes away a tear.

Cade bleeding has mostly stopped so I get up and give her a small hug. "I'm not the best at giving people comfort but I'm sorry you had to see that Birdie.

"It's alright. I'm glad I found him in time, even though the wound wasn't to deep it still scared me." She sniffs and wipes more tears away.

Before I can say anything else Temperance comes back down the stairs.

She hands me the first aid kit and sits back next to Birdie.

I take out the stitches and begin sticking up Cade wound after I clean it.

He stirs a little then says, "Is Birdie alright?" His voice is low, strained.

"You got stabbed and you're worried about her? A girl. Since when do you care about people besides the kings and your parents,let alone a girl." I cut the remaining extra string and put the rest of the supplies away.

He props himself up on his other arm. "I just do. I've never felt this way before. I don't know what it is."

"Pussy whipped." I mutter under a laugh.

But he is right he's never liked a girl a before. Sure he fucks them but that's about it.

He only sleeps with a girl once and he never gets emotionally attached because well...idk it's just always been that way.

"I haven't slept with her."

I think the shock on my face is apparent because Cade laughs a little and lays back down.

Before I can say something to that ridiculous thing he just said, Birdie says something.

"He can stay here."

"Are you sure your mom wont mind?" Temperance asks brows pinching together.

"She just texted me that she won't be home today tonight."

"Okay. Do you have a guest room I could carry him too-."

"I can walk dipshit. It's an arm wound." Cade cuts me off.

I back away and put my hands up in defense, "Calm down buddy. I was just being a good friend and offering to help you up stairs." I laugh. "You know sense your in critical condition."

He rolls his eyes and waits for Birdie.

She gives Temperance a hug and says, "Bye Tempie."

Then she looks over at me and smiles. "Thanks Jax."

I wink.

Birdie and Cade head upstairs and me and Temperance let ourselves out.

I prepare myself for another awkward car ride.
