I could feel Peter's body shaking under the heavy blankets. Recovering addict's have the hardest time getting back on their feet. Peter probably feels all sorts of wrong under his skin. I made my way into the kitchen and filled a glass full of ice, and made my way back to the bedroom.
Peter took over my bedroom while I stayed on the couch. I figured it was better for him to be semi-comfortable while doing his 24 hour detoxing. I gently opened the door and stepped inside. Whimpers could be heard falling out of the male's mouth.
The smaller male seemed to be covered in sweat if his body odor was anything to go by. I sniffed at the air before walking over to Peter's side. "Here." I whispered, pressing the cool glass of ice against the side of his head. Peter let out a soft groan but didn't move an inch as the coldness helped with his headache.
"You doing okay?" I questioned.
"I feel like I'm going to die. Everything hurts, everything, just, feels." Peter mumbled.
"Yeah, that's how life is. You feel, deicide if that feeling makes you feel good or bad and you deal. You hungry yet? Or are you going to do this for longer?" I asked in a flow of words.
"I'm going to die in this bed." Was Peter's response.
I close the bedroom door behind me and took a seat on the sofa. Peter and I had agreed that if he was going to stay with me he would have to get sober. He must've not realized that being sober hurts.
"Foggy. Foggy. Foggy. Foggy."
Snapping out of my thoughts, I fumbled for my phone, "Yes, he's still here." I answered with a sigh.
"A lawyer taking in a druggie. I'm starting to think you want bad company to come your way. Has any of his friends come by for cash?" Foggy shot back.
"It's not like that Fog, he just has himself. None of his relatives want him, he hasn't talked about any friends so I'm guessing he doesn't have any. Plus, he's doing to detox. All long as he keeps sober and stays out of trouble, both Matt Murdock and Daredevil will protect him."
"Wow. You do sound like an asshole. Fine go fulfill your hero complex. But if he does something, I won't hesitate to bring him in. Sometimes Matt, you have to think about yourself."
The line then went died and I dropped the phone onto my lap. I clasped my hands together and hoped I was doing right with Peter. And not making his life even worst.
