Brave Angel

Chapter 8

Happy Reading loves. XO.

I feel my right ankle crack a little, and i didn't need a nurse to tell me that it was sprained. I look up and see Lynn standing over me smirking. Her face was still bruised and cut from when we fought.

"Well look at you" She crosses her arms and kneels in front of me "It isn't a rumor after all. You are fucking Eric." She says while laughing a little.

"What do you want Lynn?" I say keeping my voice as normal as i could not letting her get to me. Just yet.

"Just checking up on my favorite future new leader or who knows maybe co-worker" She says getting up. She steps on my injured ankle before she starts to walk around the apartment. I bite my lip refusing to let one single groan escape my mouth. "You're stronger and smarter than i thought you know. I give you credit for that. And also for bagging the hottest unattainable guy in dauntless. Is he as good as he looks in bed ?"

I ignore her and stand up making sure not to put any weight on my injured ankle. "Get out." I say pointing at the opened door.

"So unwelcoming" She says walking to the door. "I guess I'll just have to find out myself, since you didn't answer my question" Just as she exits the apartment, she stops and looks at me. "Or i'll just tell Marlene, she'll be more than happy to do it." I slam the door shut on her as hard as i could. Was that her way of intimidating me? So pathetic. 

I make sure to lock the door before i limp to the couch and sit down to check on my ankle. I take off my combat boot and sock to reveal the already swollen ankle. I sigh getting up from the couch and limping over to kitchen to get some ice, but find nothing. "You've got to be kidding me? Who doesn't have ice?!?!"

Just then there's another knock on the door. I groan and limp over to it. "Who is it?!?!?" I make sure to scream as loud as i could so the person on the other side could hear me.

"It's Dylan!!!!" the familiar voice responds and i sigh in relief while opening the door.

"Hey, can i come in ?" He said looking around as if to make sure Eric wasn't around. 

"Sure come on in, Eric is not home"  He walks in but instantly takes notice to how i'm standing and looks down at my foot. 

"What happened?" He kneels down to take a closer look at it.

"I tripped and fell."  I say closing the door. Dylan stands back up and gives me a look i have never seen before. "What?" i say smiling a little. 

"You're lying" He crosses his arms and frowns "I saw Lynn leaving the apartment, she has something to do with it, doesn't she?" 

I shrug my shoulders and sit down on the couch not answering his question. 

"Haze, answer my question" He sits down on the coffee table in front of me with his elbows resting on his thighs.  

"Why? you already know the answer" He sighs and pats his left thigh signaling for me to place my injured foot on it. 

"Why haven't you put some ice on it?" He finally changes the conversation.

"Eric doesn't have any" I say sitting back relaxing.

"Why? Doesn't he ever get injured?" He looks at me frowning. 

"Maybe he ran out?" I shrug my shoulders.

"You're making up excuses for him" He squints his eyes a little and smiles. He really is cute.

"No i'm not" I say kicking his shin with my healthy foot. 

"ouch, okay i get it" He says rubbing his shin "Come on i'm taking you to the nurse" He says getting up and picking me up bridal style. I giggle and wrap my arms around his neck.
