"What happened?..."

"Nessa!" I quickly sat up in surprise forgetting the small girl was here just to be put back down by Anna

"I will give you another black eye Y/N" Anna threatened

"Long story short" Riley started crossing her arms drawing Nessa's worried eyes to her "Y/N got slick with Josh, Josh threw beer at Y/N, Y/N got mad and beat the shit out of him" Riley laughed "you just had to be there"

I shoved Anna's hand off my head and sat up holding my nose "it wasn't like that"

"I'm sorry I couldn't find them" spoke the curly head boy entering the room "Nessa" Noah paused "hi" he gave her a bright smile but she couldn't return one. She instead ignored him and turned her attention back to me

"Are you ok?" She approached me kneeling down in front of me "what'd you say to him that made him-"

"I just told him to drink the cups I tossed balls into" I couldn't really open my left eye feeling the throbbing pain "I didn't say it nicely but he was hostile first"

Her worried green eyes traced my entire face not knowing what to say

"I'm ok" I said with a small smile

"I have a med kit in my suitcase I believe" she stood up "Bree makes sure I always have one, I'll go grab it"

"I'll go with you" I stood up to follow the small girl

"Here's a ice pack" Noah handed me before I left the room

"Thank you" I gave him a small smile along with a nod and followed Nessa to her room. She closed the door behind me as I walked over to her bed and sat down at the edge of it

"I'm glad you made yourself at home" I spoke watching the girl go through her suitcase.

She didn't speak.

She pulled a mini med kit from her bag and made her way over to me. She positioned herself in front of me causing me to slightly look up at her. She avoided my eyes and went through the little box in her hand finding a alcohol wipe

She sent the kit beside me and opened up alcohol wipe package. Her eyes fell to the gash on my jaw "your nose is swollen" she spoke

"I wouldn't be surprised if it was broken" I replied

I couldn't help but trace her face with my eyes. Was she upset? Why would she be upset? She refused to look at me.

She took another alcohol wipe from the kit beside me and gently wiped the blood from my nose. I squeezed my eyes such trying not to flinch

"Are you mad at me?" I asked, honestly not sure if I wanted the answer

Her green eyes finally met mine. "Why would I be mad at you?" She asked her voice so low you could mistake it for a whisper

"You won't look at me" I spoke. I could feel her leg standing between both of mine. My hands fidgeted with the ice pack Noah gave me

"I'm not mad at you Y/N" her eyes fell to my nose wiping off the last bit of blood left "why'd you instigate him?" She asked

"I don't know" I spoke but she stayed quiet waiting for a better response

"He was being a dick" I spoke keeping my head still for her

"So you hit him" she spoke and this time I stayed quite "I didn't think of you to do something like that"

"To what? Hit your ex?" I asked jokingly causing the girl to give a half smile
