Red Flames (Mako x OC)

CH.5

Soon enough I felt dizzy because of the amount of liquor I drank in a rush. But two glasses wasn't enough to make me that dizzy and that's when I knew something was wrong. Then, my lids became so heavy and I didn't really care whose hands were on my hips and whose lips were on mine. All I wanted was to sleep and I probably did, against the wall in the arms of I don't know who, but a few minutes later someone was shaking me calling my name.

- Lucy what happened to you, Jesus, I'll go get Beifong just wait here and don't move, rushed Boilin totally panicked.

When I opened my eyes once again I was in a car and Mako was driving. My head felt like a mess and I probably look like one too. We stopped in front of a hotel and I dizzy again and I closed my eyes to make the bad feeling go away, but there was nothing to do. I let Mako carry me through the lobby and all the way up the stairs because I hadn't the energy to fight with him. He then put me down on something soft and took my hand in his.

- This bastard leaves a bruise on her wrist, he sighed.

- Thanks for bringing her upstairs Mako you may leave I will take care of her now, I will call you when I'm done, said an old lady.

- Thanks, Katara. he replied while walking towards the door.

It has been a week since the event and Boilin refuses to let me home alone when aunt Lin goes to work so I basically spent one week at the boys' apartment, of course with Beifong agreement. But it has also been one week that I barely sleep at night. This time I had convinced the oldest that the small couch downstairs would be perfectly fine and boy I was wrong. I was in the restroom administring ointment to the bruise on my hips and wrist, at midnight because I had nothing better to do with the lack of sleep when the same scream came from Mako's room. Even so, Boilin was sleeping peacefully without a care in the world for his brother. I decided to go and see if I could calm like the last time. But as soon as I saw him my heart shattered and I didn't know if I could take another step. However, I did.

POV: MAKO

Why is she in my room, asleep, next to my bed and why in the world did I hold her hand? I ask myself extremely confuse. However, I still tried to play it cool when I notice her waking up.

- So did you sleep well, you know you could just have slept in my bed, I wouldn't be mad, I said and then saw something flash in her eyes, while she was getting up of the ground.

- hmm... no, not a chance, she replied looking away.

Well, I am an idiot, it was way to soon to make that kind of joke, you dumb head! I mentally slapped myself. The morning went smoothly and the two of us didn't even look at each other while Bolin was still snoring in his Hammack.

- Hey, Mako, I was wondering do you have any family aside from your brother? She asked bluntly.

Oh I see so now we ask whatever we want? I thought a bit surprised at first.

- Hmm, no why?

- I was just wondering, she said washing a plate while I put the stuff back at his places.
