She Hides While They Seek

Chapter 3: Do we leave?

Once dinner was finished Levi was cleaning the dishes while me and Apollo were brushing our teeth 

I tried not to make a big deal about how I couldn't even hold the toothpaste but Apollo saw right through my acting

"Whats wrong with your hand?"

"Nothing" I say quickly 

"Don't lie to me"

I gulp and turn away from him but he grabs my arm and pulls up the sleeve revealing the bandage 

"What is this Kayla" He asks me calmly but I can tell he is anything but calm 

"Okay its not as bad a it seems" I try and tell him but he has already pulled off the bandages revealing a extremely swollen hand that is also badly bruised

"This is definitely broken" He exclaims glaring at me 

"It doesn't really hurt" I lie but as soon as he presses lightly, tears flood my eyes and I yank my hand away from him

"Kayla what the fuck!" He says loudly 

"You need to go to a hospital or something that looks really bad" 

"This is exactly why I didn't say anything" I groan "Its not that bad your making a big deal out of something that isn't important"

"No, don't put the blame on me" He snaps "You need medical attention for that shit"

I shove him lightly out of the way and walk out of the apartment closing the door gently so I won't break it since it was a really thin door

I wasn't going to be out long I just needed some fresh air, I exit the building and walk outside into the dark

Just my luck that Tom was outside too smoking, I stop in my tracks and turn to leave but he had already seen me

"Ah Kayla, how are you?" He asks me like he hadn't broken my hand earlier which hurt like hell

"good" I say coldly 

"Where are your brothers" he asks curiously walking closer to me

I told people they were my older brothers and it was easier then explaining why I had their last name

"They are coming down soon" I tell him confidently which makes him take a step back

"Well since we have time together I have a proposition for you" He whispers and I stiffen 

"Okay and what is that" I refuse to let my emotions get in the way of how I speak, he didn't need to know I was scared shitless

"I know you need money and I have a way for you to earn more money" Suddenly his finger tracing circles on my shoulder

I can smell the cigarette on his breath and I wrinkle my nose as he blows the smoke in my face 

"Uhm... what way is that" 

"I want to fuck you" He tells me bluntly 

My mouth drops open shocked, before I recompose myself and put distance between us

"No, I have much more self respect then to be sleeping around with you" I emphasize the word 'you' with as much disgust as I can 

"Such a shame" Tom sighs disappointedly and opens the building door to leave

"You know where to find me if you change your mind" He calls before he is gone

I sink onto the concrete floor and just sit there with my hands on my head, I really had bad luck when it came to everything
