Protected Love

Chapter 23

Augusts P.o.v

....most awkward moment...ever.

I... I don't know what...I mean I ... I should've done something. I could've maybe talked to Mike.

.....feels useless.....

Mike left for a walk. maybe to cool down I don't know. It's been a while. "I'm gonna see if I find Mike" Vic said grabbing his sweater as he left.

I'm alone...

I checked my phone in hopes Tony would have  messaged or called me.

nope.. where is he? I'm worried about him.. But what if he just wants space... But what if he needs help.. But what if I get him help.. and all this time he wanted to be alone... then gets mad.

No. I'll just wait it out.

I depressing-ly grabbed a tub of chocolate ice-cream and ran up to my room. I locked the door. I have no reason to go anywhere right now.

I popped the ice-cream open and pulled out my phone. I'll send summer a message to see how she's holding up... But what if she didn't want to be bothered... I'll take my chances, even though she might hate me for just sitting there and not helping... Ugh.

I wrote in a weird code type thing just in case she was too pissed off to talk to me and she would think it was an accident.

I sighed. that was a pretty stupid idea what an I doing with my life. I dug my spoon into my ice-cream until I heard my phone ring.

it was a payphone???

I questioningly answered.

" Hey August?"

My eyes widened and I dropped everything.

"T..Tony?!" I asked on shock.

"hey, um do you have your brothers car right now?"

"uhh yeah... Why?"

"I'll explain later, can you pick me up?"

"Yeah! Where are you?"

"I kinda unsure all I knew is that I'm on 42 Orange st."

"Okay, I'll see you then, bye" I was about to hang up till...

" Oh and August... I love you......beep beep beep"

" I love you too." all I heard was beeping. "Tony! Tony?!"

" I am sorry. there is no more time for this call add 25 cents to continue"

I pouted he probably didn't hear me. I hung up and grabbed Vics' car keys. I began to drive until I reached 42 Orange st. I think I see him... No. the can't be him. But.... it is!

He looked all beaten up and his clothes were ripped. I spotted the car, got out and ran to him. I jumped into his arms. He whimpered in pain. "Oh my fucking God Tony you don't even know how worried I was"

I kissed him.

"let's get to the my place and we can get you some better clothes and you can tell me what the fuck happen" I said as I helped him into the car.

On our way to my house he explained to me how he woke up at some unknown place. his wallet and his phone was missing. he was jumped several times and was beat up afterwards for not having anything on him.

I felt my heart drop as I had to watch him in discomfort with pain.

when we finally got to my place he took a long shower. I pulled out the first aid kit. he walked out in his boxers just as I had asked him to.

I gasped in all the bruises and cuts. I helped him onto the counter. "Okay this my sting just a little" I cleaned a deep cut across his abs.

"ah" he complained.

I put down the cotton swabs and kissed him. He's been gone for way too long and I missed him. we began to get deeper into the kiss and... "Ah" he squirmed. "goddamit, I'm sorry "

" No, I'm sorry. I should've been more careful than that." I smiled.

I finished cleaning his wounds and I got him clothes to wear. After that I let him rest in my bed.

I stood at the kitchen sink and ran my hand under the hot water. I was caught up in my thoughts again. I switched the hot water to cold and I filled up a glass to bring up to Tony.

I grabbed the glass and got up to my room. I put the glass of water on my nightstand near Tony. I felt something pull my arm. I turned to smile at Tony.

he moved the blanket gestering me to get in. I kicked off my shoes and for under the sheets with him.

Mike's P.o.v

I had no place in mind of where I was going, I just kept walking. " Mike!"

did someone call me? no it was nothing.. just my head.

"Mike!!!" I heard it even louder.

I turned around to see Vic. He ran up to me. once he reached me he bent over, catching his breath. "man I've been trying to catch up to you all day."

I just stood there, silently watching.

" Mike, we have to talk." Vic said sincerely.

"About?" I asked annoyed.

we continued walking.

"Your anger is out of control. your going to end up doing something else then what you did today." Vic sighed. " You need some type of therapy man."

"What the fuck?!" I yelled "no...NO!"

"Mike your uncontrollable, you need help" Vic said calm. " You went talk to anyone so  where going to try this. Okay?"

" is there anyway I can make you reconsider" I sighed with clenched fists trying to be calm.

"No, Mike" he shocked his head. " not this time."

I sighed.

"I'm gonna leave you to yourself, but make sure you come to the house in one piece" he half smiled " please don't do anything stupid"
