Everything at Once -- (Animal Kingdom -- Craig/OC)

Chapter 5

Baz and I pulled up to the same store that he had left Craig at, the day before looking at me with a half smile as we got out of the car. I stood there rubbing my hands together nervously before following him through this maze of a building before heading up some stairs. "You sure you want to see him like this?" He asked me.

"I need to see that he's ok." I told him as he nodded. Baz and I walked into a room, it was dimly lit and it honestly scared me that anything medical at all was going on in this place.

"Uh, yea no. Sorry, Doc. Can't do it." Baz said to something I had clearly missed being said. "We got to go." Baz told Craig as I stayed behind him like he had told me to on the way up here. Which ultimately meant that Craig didn't even know I was here.

"Where the hell have you been?" Craig asked him, "Does Cat know where I am? Fuck she's probably losing it." He told Baz as I rolled my eyes and began looking at the accouterments around me in the room. "He needs at least six more hours on the I.V." The doctor told him.

"Well, I don't know what to tell you." Baz told him before looking back at me.

"Who did you bring? Smurf? Come on man..." Craig practically winned as Baz continued to ignore him. "Fuck it, we'll just take it with us." Craig said his voice in obvious pain.

"I talked to Marco this morning, I told him we'd meet him on the beach." Craig told Baz.

"No. I'm not doing this with you. That and I highly doubt my travel companion will want to help either." He told him as he moved me so Craig could finally see me. I waved at him awkwardly before I made my way over to him and hugged him lightly as to not touch any of his bandages. 

"You came?" He said sounding surprised as I kissed his cheek. "Should I not have?" I questioned him my voice growing upset.

"No, no I just. I didn't think you would. I no offence figured you would have bailed." He told me as I sighed, "Fair enough. Baz brought me with you two as he took you here, do you not remember?" I asked him as he shook his head no.

"No, but this is a more than welcomed sight. You want to go to the beach baby?" He asked me, already with the pet names. Classic Craig.

"I mean, I am dressed for it, I suppose." I told him, beige shorts and this white lace tank top. I felt underdress yet, Lucy told me I looked great so I left in it.

"You are dressed for a great many things." Craig said looking at me with hunger in his eyes. "Your sick." I teased. "Why are we going to the beach?" I asked him but looked at Baz.

"We're not." He said again, "Smurf wants us home. We are going home." That was when it hit me, I missed a photoshoot. Shit, I'd just text my agent later and see what he could do about it.

"I almost died." Craig told him, "Ok..." Baz told him as he made an attempt to move me away from Craig. "I gotta seize the day, bro. Besides Cat's never been to Tijuana." He told Baz.

"Yes she has, many times." Baz countered as Craig looked at me as I nodded slightly giving him a 'sorry babe' look before laughing slightly. "But, never to the beach." I added as I could hear Baz sigh heavily.
