Onwards;

He continued to constantly punch the bag on the wall, despite the shocking pain traveling up his arm. He'd been at this for the past five hours and sweat stained his muscle tee to the point where it was dripping in sweat and he had just ripped it off. Now, sweat dropped down his bare body from his face which was stricken with pursed lips. His dark wet hair stuck to his forehead as he jumped around the punching bag.

Left hit.
Right hit.

His mind suddenly drifted to Allegro and he hit the bag harder and harder. His fists reddened, they had been already bruised from the encounter with the wall in the hospital and this wasn't helping.

Anger.

Was one hell of a thing; but he had no reason to be angry- she wasn't his-
Alejandro suddenly thought back to Kela; and what he said, but shook his head. He leaned his head against bag, ignoring the throbbing pain in his fists.

He felt a sudden touch to his hand and he instantly recoiled. His head turned to see blue eyes peering down at his bloody fists. Her hands small held his tight examining it. He didn't say anything but let her-
He let her touch him.

"You need to treat them" her voice soft.
Alejandro was indignant, what did she care?
"I'm fine" he stepped back and continued to punch the bag.
He heard her sigh and in the corner of his eyes saw her fold her arms.
"Alejandro, I don't know why you hate me..."
He didn't hate her-
"But you really should fix your knuckles... at the rate you're going you'll damage them permanently."

He stopped punching the bag and walked over towards a chair and sat down. Lilly smiled at her win and headed towards the cabinet pulling out what she needed to treat him. She looked into his eyes and held her gaze. She was wearing sweats and a large shirt.
"The shirt. Who's own is it?"

She took out the disinfectant and tilted her head at his question, "Allegro's"
Alejandro scoffed, "So he did sleep with you" he whispered softly.
Lilly had stopped what she was doing and looked shocked, "What? Is that what he told you?"

"Is that why...." she mumbled, "I didn't sleep with him..." she whispered.
Alejandro felt a relief leave him, "We just talked and.... and he lent me clothes."
Alejandro shook his head, "Talked about me.."
Alejandro saw the red rushing to her cheeks and looked away dabbing the disinfectant blindly.

"Does this not sting you?" She changed the subject.
"I'm used to the pain."
He looked her over, his eyes lingering on the bandage around her waist and stomach.
"How does it feel?" He asked.
Lilly looked up at him surprised.

"It's getting better.. I think."
"I can limp walk as I told you before but it still hurts in some places. Harley says I should still be bed ridden but I get bored easily" she smiled.
Alejandro moved his hand to touch her stomach and her breath hitched but he ignored it, "Its getting better... but it is still sore."

"When last have you changed the bandage?" He asked both his hands touching her now.
Lilly put her hands on his own, "Yesterday and please your still bleeding..." she trailed off.
Alejandro shook his head, "You're suppose to change it every few hours!"
"Alejandro..." he stood up going towards the cabinet for new bandages.
"I'm supposed to be treating your knuckles...."
