Watch & Learn: Book II

Chapter Twenty-Five: The Beginning of the End

As this book comes to a close with only one more chapter remaining, I would like to thank everyone for supporting this book series.

A third and final installment of the Watch & Learn series is in question at the moment but will not be guaranteed.

Until a decision is made, enjoy ✨

"What did the doctor say?" I asked Tron while sitting beside his hospital bed. Teddy and I had left the dinner party early to meet up with Kev so that we could all see and talk to Tron while he was in the hospital.

"They got the bullet out and bandaged me up. I should be out of here in a couple of days. They're gonna do some more checkups to make sure I'm not bleeding internally. And they're gonna give me a few more dosages of medicine to help with the pain." Tron informed us while Kev nodded his head and Teddy stayed quiet in the corner with his head down. He hasn't said much of anything since I told him that Caleb knew about what happened. I knew all of this was fucking his mind up.

"So where do we go from here?" Kev asked after a brief silence.

"Rome, you gotta call off that ceremony." Tron told me in a worried tone.

"It's tomorrow and everything's already paid for. I can't just call it off." I shook my head.

"He's after you and Teddy! And clearly he's not with the small talk, look at me!" Tron practically yelled while motioning to his elevated leg.

"He's right." Teddy finally spoke. "Who knows what he's capable of. He might try to try something tomorrow. It's too risky."

"So what am I supposed to tell Candace then?" I questioned, starting to get irritated by this whole situation.

"Tell her everything that's been happening. Tell her about the blackmailing, tell her about Tron being shot, all that." Teddy told me while everyone else nodded their heads in agreement.

"I don't understand why all of this pressure is being put on me." I looked down while shaking my head.

"Because that's your wife and that's her family. You chose to be affiliated with all of this." Kev responded with a shrug.

"Should've just let me have her." Tron muttered, but it was clear enough for me to hear.

"Almost ten years later and all you're still worried about is who ended up with Candace. At the end of the day, it was her choice!" I reiterated to him. "I don't know why you're still so pressed over that situation. Get the fuck over it."

"Let's not start this today. We're getting off topic." Teddy spoke in an attempt to calm me down.

"I don't even know why I'm in the middle of this shit. I'm not the one who killed the man!" I exclaimed, standing up from my seat.

"But at the end of the day, you were there when it happened." Tron told me while I smacked my lips.

"I was there telling Teddy's dumbass not to do it!" I told them.
