The Bad Boy Next Door

9: Visit

   I started to open my eyes and I yawned, when I focused on what was around me a started to panick , I didn't recognise where I was. I tried to sit up but I screamed when a pain shot through my stomach. I layed back down and tears streamed down my face. I continued bawling as someone burst through the door.

   "Clair, clair?!" The parson said excited and confused. I just kept crying, it hurt so bad. "Clarity!" the person yelled and I looked up with tears still streaming and he grabbed my hands. He wiped the tears off my face with his sleeve.

   "Where am I, what happened?" I asked. he sat the small hospital bed up and ran his hands through his hair.

   He looked like a mess. His hair was disheveled, like he had run his hands through it countless times, and he smelled like ciggeretts. He was wearing the same outfit he was wearing when I introduced him to Parker.

   "You're in a guest room in my house. The doctor sent you home with me taking care of you. You've been out for three days instead of two." He said.

   "Was there a specific amount of time I was supposed to be asleep? Wait, what even happened, and why does my stomach hurt?" I asked.

   "You don't remember?" He askdd, I shook my head no and he sighed running his fingers through his hair again. "Parker beat you, and you ran over here because he tore your stomach lining. Then the doctors put you under so that they could bring you home, and you were under longer than expected." He explained.

   I sighed and another tear made its way down my face. Adam gently placed his hand on the side of my face and wiped the tear off with his thumb. His hand didn't leave my face though, he let his thumb linger on my cheek slowly bringing it down to run across my bottem lip. I let my eyes shut slowly as his thumb gently ran across my lip and back. He slid his hand to the back of my neck and his other hand found its way to my waist.

   I could feel as he slowly leaned in towards me. Our breaths mixed and I brought up my hand to rest on his bicep. He moved in to close the gap, and our lips softly brushed together. Then he fully pressed his lips against mine and he gripped my hair. Right as I was going to respond, someone burst through the door and Adam shoved back away from me.

   My face turned beet red and I looked down and played with a loose thread on the blanket that was over me.

   "There's no time for making out Adam, Parker is here and he wants to know where his sister is." Flynn said breathlessly.

   "I-I don't wanna see h-him." I said.

   "Well he's fucking here, and he's pissed. " Flynn replied.

   "It's okay Clair, I'll be here with you." Adam assured me. I nodded and Flynn left then soon entered back in with Parker, but he didn't stay.

   "Where the hell have you been? " He asked me.

   "Well thanks to you I was in the hospital and unconscious for a few days." I said and his eyebrow chocked up.

   "Sluts get what they deserve." He said nonchalantly.

   "Hey,  don't call her a slut."

   "Has she told you about Alex?" He asked.

   Adam shook his head no and I looked at Parker with a pleading look. He just smirked and shook his head looking down.

   "She got her heart involved and and she killed him. He was not only a friend of mine, but he was one of my men." Parker concluded.

   A tear slipped from eye and I looked away towards the wall. Tears were streaking down my face and Adam walked over toe and grabbed my hand.

   "I think you've overstayed your welcome." Adam said, Parker glared, but left. "Babe, do you wanna talk about it?" He asked.

   I shook my head and he nodded. He climbed into the small hospital next to me and layed on his side. I turned on my side burying my head in his chest as I bawled.

   "I-I didn't m-mean to. I-I never wanted t-to k-kill him." I sobbed. "I-I miss him s-so much."

   "Shh, it's okay. Just relax. It'll be okay." He said soothingly running his hands through my hair is I gripped his shirt and bawled.

   I saw him as he grabbed a button attached to my IV cord and he pressed it, I guess I takes me tired because my eyes were drooping and my tears were slowing.

   As my eyes closed Adam kissed my forhead and hugged me closer to his chest and I place my hands on his chest and sigh. My eyes close and he starts to get up.

   "Don't leave." I said.

   "Let me just tell friends to go home." He said. I nodded and he got up.

   I layed there with my eyes closed and eventually I fell asleep.

[}○•°•○{]

   When I woke up Adam was nest to me, his arms tightly wrapped around me, one hand on my head weaved into my hair, and the other on my lower back. My arms were around his neck gripping his hair. His head was nuzzled into neck and mine was in his shoulder.

   I pulled my hands from out of his hair and tried to dishevel myself from him. I went to sit up but groaned in pain and Adam peeled his eyes open then shot up and helped me lay back down. I gripped my stomach in pain and tears welled in my eyes.

   "Babe, please dont cry." He said. He wiped the tears off my face and asked me if I wanted to change.

   I nodded and he left the room then came back in with a burgendy shirt and a pair of leggings. He had to help out of the hospital shirt and into the burgendy one, then did the same with the leggings.

   When I was sat back in the bed Adam slid his hand to the back my neck and with his other hand he tucked a piece of hair behind my ear. He let his thumb run from the corner of my mouth to my  cheekbone and back again.

   He leaned into me and out breathes mixed just as they did the day before. When our lips had just brushed together my eyes fluttered shut. His lips pressed firmly against mine and I lifted my hand to his neck. Then someone burst through the door.

   "Again dude, once again enough with the making out." Flynn said.

   "We weren't making out actually." He said.

   Flynn just shook his head and sighed. "The boss is here." He said and Adams face went white.

   "I-I'll be right back." Adam said looking at me.

   I nodded and he got up and left the room. I heard a quiet conversation coming from downstairs then there was someone walking up the stairs and Adam appeared back in the room.

   "My boss wants to meet you, don't tell him anything about your nrother, don't even mention the fact you know Parker." He said, I nodded and he went back to the door and let in a man.

   He was tall and had grey hair, he was wearing a black suit with a red tie and black dress shoes. He looked intimidating and by the looks of Adam, he was nervous.

   "What's your name young lady?" He asked me.

   "I-I'm Clair, and you?" I asked.

   "Call me Mr. James." I nodded and he smiled. "A little bird has told me that you art now dating my friend here, Adam." He said.

   "Yea, I care for him very much, and I can only hope he feels the same." I replied, the old man nodded.

   "You know he's in a gang right?" He asked.

   "I do, but I believe that he can keep me safe." I said, the man nodded and turned to Adam.

   "You keep this girl safe, I know she's Parkers sister. I know he did that to her, you are in charge of making sure no harm comes to her." Adam nodded and the man bid Farwell then left.

   Adam walked over to me and grabbed my hands, he didn't say anything, or do anything but sit there and hold my hands.
