Mae unbuttoned her shirt half way up, exposing the bandage covered in blood. She winced in pain and I grabbed her by the arm.

« CJ : Come with me. »

I gently led her to the bathroom where I had everything to clean the wound and change the bandage. She took off her pants that were stained by the blood and leaned against the bathroom sink, shirt open.

When I took off the bandage, we both noticed that some of the stitches had popped and I realized what could have caused it.

« CJ : Do you think that... last night did that? »

Mae looked at me but didn't say anything.

« CJ : I'll take that as a "yes". »

I cleaned the wound and stitched her up, again except this time, she didn't pass out but she was exhausted. Good thing I had her clothes here, that was gonna be useful. I took them out of the dryer for Mae to change into.

« CJ : Why didn't you wanna go to the hospital, the other day?
Mae : They keep records. With everything that happened with Tyler, I try not to go to the hospital when I can avoid it.
CJ : You could've died. »

Mae looked down as I realized that I probably shouldn't have said that.

As I was about to get out of the bathroom to give her some privacy, I heard her breathing accelerate as tears fell heavily on her cheeks.

« Mae : I'm sorry... »

I walked towards her.

« CJ : No, don't be. It's okay. »

I put hair behind her ear to get a better look at her face. I put a hand on her cheek and started rubbing it with my thumb. She looked up and put her arms around my neck to hug me. I put my arms around her and one of my hands ended up under her shirt, on her bare skin but it didn't seem to bother her.

« CJ : It's okay. »

She was holding me tightly as if she wanted me to stay here forever. We stayed like this until she felt better and she pulled away from me. Then, someone knocked on my door. I didn't want to leave her alone like this but I had to go check who it was. I had an idea of who it could be, actually. I looked into the peephole.

CJ : "Ha, I was right."

I opened the door and Oliver was standing there.

« Oliver : Hey, angel!
CJ : What are you doing here?
Oliver : I wanted to check if everything was okay after... »

I whispered at him before he could finish his sentence.

« CJ : She's here... »

He whispered back and we started talking in whispers.

« Oliver : Did you guys fuck?
CJ : Shut the fuck up and get out of here.
Oliver : Did you or did you not?
CJ : Yes and no.
Oliver : How can it be "yes and no"? It's either one or the other.
CJ : I fingered her in her office while her boss was there.
Oliver : Ew.
CJ : He didn't know I was hiding under the desk.
Oliver : Oh, now, that's hot.
CJ : And now she's crying, half naked in my bathroom.
Oliver : What did you do?
CJ : Nothing. Her wound reopened, I was helping her.
Oliver : You said she was crying.
CJ : Because of the pain?
Oliver : And she's naked? That's hot.
CJ : She's not naked, she's in her underwear and she has a shirt on... open.
Oliver : That's even hotter. Can I see?
CJ : Hell no.
Oliver : What? Can't you share?
CJ : No.
Oliver : Aw, you're protecting her, that's cute.
CJ : Get the fuck outta here. »

I pushed him away and closed the door. I went back to the bathroom and Mae had changed into the clothes I had taken from her. Her eyes were red from the crying.
