Worth Fighting For

Revelations Are A Bitch

"When you try to inspect an animal..." The professor continued speaking pointing to the board behind him explaining the new chapter. He looked at his pocket before digging into it grabbing his phone. He stopped talking about the lesson reading something on his phone. "Class dismissed" He dismissed the class grabbing his briefcase before leaving the room. The class stayed quiet looking around before getting up and walking out.

When I got home almost like on cue I got a text from Rio to meet him at the warehouse. "Hey youre back so early" Beth popped up from upstairs playing with the kids.

"Yeah the professor let us out early but im about to head out for a study session for our exam"

"Oh okay do you want me to save you some dinner?" I told her yeah before going upstairs to get dressed.

I looked inside the room seeing Rio using his phone. " What's this?" I asked him making him look up.

"I got a special guest for you" he smirked yelling the go ahead. Two men including Carlos came lifting a guy into the couch before putting him there. When the guy lifted his head I almost fell from shock. I thought I was seeing a ghost.

"Eddie?" Those clear blue eyes were hard to miss but they were in pain. I looked down seeing the wound, it was again in his lower abdomen but on the other side. I ran up to him grabbing the leaking bandage before looking up at him. "I thought you were dead" I grabbed some supplies starting the stitching.

The commotion died down with only now being us three in silence, Eddie flinching every couple of times. I turned to Rio beaconing him over. He walked towards me standing behind me. "What happened"

"Im the one that spread around that he was dead," He told me watching how I tended his wound. "when I found out that he wasn't talking to the police a couple of us tried to help him" Eddie looked at Rio before talking.

"Im dead... Technically" I looked at him bewildered.

"You faked your death?" He nodded putting his head down. "Aand you helped him?"

"I take care of my own" He retorted. After a bit of silence, Eddie spoke again

"How's your sis?" I looked up at him remembering the favor he did for her.

"Yeah she's doing good I think shed want me to thank you for helping out Sadie"

"I didn't mean to break the fingers it kinda got out of hand" My phone started ringing I couldn't answer it since my hands were kinda busy. You looked at the caller ID

"Can you answer and put on speaker I dont want anyone speaking" Eddie answered the phone putting it on speaker for me.

'Hey sister yo" Annie yelled from the other side. I immediately regretted putting it on speaker but I can't turn back now. "So I was thinking for your birthday we could go to the bar or maybe to a club" I flinched not looking at Rio, I felt the smirk radiate from him. "Come on baby sis what do you think?"

"I dont know Annie I was thinking maybe all of us can just a have a girls night in, watch some movies have some wine, you know what I mean" The other line was silent for a second.

"Come on it's your 28th birthday, live a little youre always studying and being a nerd and I say nerd in the most loving way" You smiled calling her name. "OK fine we'll do the boring one but one day in your life you will be getting something extravagant in your life" I looked up to Rio seeing him mouth "Birthday?" I shushed him going back to the suture.

"Are you with someone" Annie gasped talking again. "Are you with great sex guy" My eyes almost bulged out feeling my cheeks warm up. "Come on spill I'm super bored"
