Hailey Jordan
I ever been here before but I don't know yet where is his apartment. As soon as Dylan take me with him, we arrive in the apartment building, I remember this place before. We both get in the lift and Dylan always beside me.
I take a look at him while we already standing in front of his door's apartment.
After awhile, I hold up my hand into fist and start knocking the door. I can hear Navy barking inside.
"This boy" Dylan hissed and step closer to the door, I see he touch the door and input password code on it and it unlocked.
"You know the password?" I asked him.
"At first just wondering, but he always put his mother's birthday as his password. And it works" he smile and open the door slowly.
"Brant.." Dylan called and Navy just run into him and I could see that he laid on the bed and turn around looking at us.
"What you guys doing here?" He speak with his raspy voice and try to get up from the bed.
"Oh my God! What happened with your arm?" I could see a smudge of blood on his right arm. Dylan hastily come closer and sit beside him.
"How many times I told you to let me know if something like this has just happened?"
"Relax grandpa... why you bring her here?" he said looking at me.
"I should listen to your aunty to drag you into my house long time ago.. "
"Stop scolding.. why everyone on earth scolding me." He said and lean back on bed.
"Can you take care of him awhile? I need to get some medicine?" I just nodded and Dylan left me and closed the door.
I walk closer and see his jacket and also gun! Gunnn the real gun! Seriously he has a gun? I look at it in horror and still walk closer and sit beside his bed.
"What happened?" I asked and he just open his eyes and look at me.
"Not your business younglady."
I ignore him and touch his forehead, oh my god he got a high fever.
"What are you doing?" he looking at me like I did something weird. I ignore him again and try to find any medical kit in here.
I just find nothing. I came back and sit again beside him. He still sleep and sweating all over his body because his fever and Dylan came in with a little plastic bag.
"Let me help you." I look at him while he let me took a bandage. I really wanna ask him what did just happen with Brant? But I think this not the right time to know about. Hold yourself Hailey!!! I just have to concentrate to help Dylan take care of him.
I see Dylan has injecting something to him and he seems start to doze off.
"Don't tell aunty about this." Brant said while he closed his eyes. I still doing my work, change his bandage carefully and gently. I gasped while I could see the bullet wound on his right arm. Okay stay calm! Carefully I wiped all the blood stain and change the bandage.
"I call Mario to take you home." Dylan said to me.
"No.. Let me stay here.."
"I need to bring my wife for check up to hospital. I need someone to guard you."
"No.. I'll have him."
"He's not-"
"You just get your wife to the hospital and I'll be here I promise. I'll be waiting you to pick me up and go home with you."
"Hailey-"
"Please Dylan... I won't go anywhere..you also need someone to stay with him right? Let me do something then."
"I'll be back soon."
"Okay.." I nodded and walk him out.
I walk closer and touch the gun. Why the hell he has a gun? What happened? That bullet wounds? Ryan at hospital? I walk closer and sit beside his bed. Brant has sleeping soundly, maybe because the injection that Dylan gave to him. I touch his forehead, his fever not burned as before, he's getting better.
Navy come closer and snuggle into my lap. I don't know what I did, I just stay still looking at him. You're full of secret Brant.. After hours I check again his temperature and the fever almost gone but he still sleeping peacefully... I get up and make my way to kitchen. I open the fridge and try to find something to cook. This guy have quiet enough ingridients to make some meals in his small apartment. I took the ingridients and start cooking a chicken soup. Chop some chicken, a bit vegetables, a bit salt and pepper.. hmm It smells good... It's been so long after I'm not cooking for awhile.. I usually cook with my mother, she also teached me how to cook.. her food always amazing and I always want her to cook for me or cook together with me... I want to taste her food again.. but it would never happen anymore.. Mom.. I missed you!
"You're not going to make my chicken soup being overcooked right?" I fidget and back from my trance looking at him. Now he standing with a bottle of water and drank all of it.
"You're awake" I blink to ease the tears to cover up my eyes from the thoughts before.
"You're not expect that?"
"You wanna eat?"
"You made this for me right?"
"have a seat sir.. let me serve you then." I said sarcastically. I turn off the stove and start pouring the chicken soup. I take the bowl and put in front of him while I was standing across him.
"Here" He look at me quizzically.
"What?" I shrug.
"Never thought you can cook"
"Taste the soup, you will be surprised." I cross my hand on the table, waiting him to eat the soup.
He eat the soup silently, without any countenance. Does it good?
"how?" I asked.
"Taste like.... Chicken soup" he give me an innocent look.
"Thank you for the compliment." I said.
"Your welcome." He smile and continue digging his soup.
"Brant.. I want to know what happened with you? The bullet wound? The gun?" I'm asking carefully.
"It's not your business" he keep eating.
"Enlighten me then." This make him stop eating and look at me.
"You didn't know what you wish... Hailey"
"I know.. I'm asking you to enlighten me then."
"I'll take you home now." He stop eating and leaving me to take his jacket.
"I know what I asked."I keep staring at him and we just interupted by sounds someone has knocking the door repeatedly.
