Eighteen

The next morning, Angelica awoke early to the sound of an alarm clock going off. She looked around, spotting the alarm clock on the bedside table next to her. She reached over and switched it off, turning off the annoying boy-band song that was blaring from it. She looked at the time, which was 6 o'clock on the dot.

She looked down at Blaise, who apparently wasn't woken up by the blaring music. She turned back on her side so she was facing him again and pulled him closer, wrapping her arms around him.

He moved a little bit, making a small moaning noise as he moved closer to her, resting his head in the nape of her neck.

She smiled, resting her head on top of his. She could feel his breathing, luckily even again.

When she heard a small noise, she looked up to see Bailey in the doorway.

"Bailey?" She asked softly, moving away from Blaise a little. "Do you need something?"

"I've got to get ready for school," she said, walking into the room. She got a pair of pants from the dresser and a shirt from her closet, also grabbing her phone from the bedside table. "Sorry I forgot to turn my alarm clock off last night, it woke me up from the living room."

"No problem," Angelica said, "I should probably wake him up soon anyway, the sooner we get his pills, the better," she said, looking down at him.

"He didn't wake up from the alarm clock?" Bailey asked, looking at him.

"I know just how to wake him up," Angelica grinned, looking back at him. She ran her fingers through his hair, then moved closer to him and kissed him. "Wake up, love," she cooed, keeping her voice down.

He opened his eyes, looking at her and smiling a little. "Hey," he said, his voice rough.

"Hi Blaise!" Bailey said, smiling a little.

Blaise looked up at her, confused. "Why are we in Bailey's room?" He asked weakly, looking around.

"Pyro healed you last night, we needed somewhere to stay," Angelica explained softly. "We're taking you to the doctor today so we can get you more pills."

"Who is 'we're'?" He strained, looking at Bailey. "She's coming?"

"No," Bailey laughed, "I've got school, silly. Pyro said to call Rin when you guys were ready to go."

"Did Pyro already leave?" Angelica asked.

"Yeah, she leaves at four," Bailey explained, looking at the clock. "It's 6:08."

"I'm aware," Angelica said, looking back down at Blaise. "We're leaving as soon as I call Rin."

"Tell him to bring a shirt," he strained, looking down at himself.

"Alright," she laughed, standing up.

"Have you got a phone?" Bailey asked, looking at her.

"You can use mine," Blaise said softly, knowing that she didn't have one, "it's in my pocket."

"Alright," she said, leaning over him and taking his phone out of his pocket. Surprisingly, it was clear of blood. She turned it on, then typed in the password. He'd already told her the password, since she didn't have a phone she just used his.

She brought up the call screen and found Rin's number on the caller ID. She pressed it, holding the phone up to her ear to hear the ringing.

Bailey walked out of the room, and Blaise looked up at her, his eyes still glossy and dull looking, she noticed.
