BRUISES AND THANK YOU'S
MIA'S POV
"Nick? What the fudge happened to you?" I gasped in shock.
There stood a really badly beaten up nick with his hands in his thin hoodie and blood flowing down from the side of his lips.
He seemed as shocked as me as his eyes widened and he just stood there gaping at me.
"Nicky..." Will's voice boomed throughout the house as he came running and hugged nick.
"You're Will's brother?" I asked him in shock.
"You saved him?" he asked shock lacing his voice as well.
A cold breeze blew and he shivered due to his thin hoodie.
"Just come inside before you die of cold." I pulled him in and closed the main door.
After leading him to the living room and settling him down on the couch I quickly ran up to my bathroom and took out the first aid kit then went back down.
"Here let me clean you up," I told him and sat next to him.
He gave me a slight nod and I began cleaning his cuts and whipping of the blood.
I gently rubbed the lotion on his right eye which was now swollen and turning blue.
"Here all done."
"Thanks" he awkwardly mumbled.
We sat there in silence for a couple of minutes until he decided to break it.
"You are not going to ask me why am I covered in bruises?" he asked and I just shrugged.
"It's none of my business actually. I am just glad you are ok." I gave him a smile which he returned with a pure look of shock.
"So I should get going. Again thank you very much for taking care of Will and maxwell." He said while trying to get up but failed miserably.
"You are not going anywhere! Have you seen the condition you are in? You can't even stand let alone drive. So why Don't you just spend the night here and leave tomorrow when it's safe for you to drive to avoid accidents right now?"
He hesitated but nodded none the less.
"Good. Just sit here while I bring you some painkillers and hot chocolate" I told him and went to the kitchen to make some more of my famous hot chocolate.
"Here you go." I handed him two painkillers along with the mug.
He gulped down the pills quickly and sipped the hot drink.
"This is really good." He complimented.
"Well thank you very much."
He drank some more while I stood there awkwardly.
"Are we leaving Nicky?" Will suddenly came maxwell on his trail.
"Sorry kiddo but I can't drive right now so we'll have to stay here." nick mumbled.
"YAAAAAAYYY" Will shouted and hugged me. His small arms wrapped around my waist.
"So just stay here while I put will and maxwell to bed then I'll come help you up the stairs?" I asked him and he nodded.
"Let's go take a nap handsome," I said and picked up Will and told maxwell to follow me.
He's a really smart dog! I'll talk to luke to get me one too one he gets back.
I took him to one of the guest room in front of my room and gave him one of my brother's clothes of when he was little.
Luke is really a weirdo. He kept all of his and mine stuff of childhood. From toys to clothes. EVERYTHING!
Will lay on the bed maxwell beside him and I put the covers on both of them and kissed both of their foreheads and came back downstairs.
"Common I'll help you go up," I told nick and gave a hand for him to take and get up.
"I really appreciate you saving Will but you really don't have to do this." He told me as he took my hand and tried to stand up.
"Shut up. I am not doing you any favor I am just trying to prevent all you guys from getting in an accident. I am in love with that kid and the dog." I told him as I wrapped my arms around his waist to give him support.
We somehow managed to get to the room and I gently laid him on the bed and ran to luke's room and got a T-shirt and track pants.
"Here get changed into these and don't worry about Will he's just in the room right beside you with maxwell and the room is joint so just go through that door and you'll be in his room," I told him pointing to the door on the right.
"Also if you want any help don't hesitate to call me. I am in the room in front of yours." I said while smiling and turned around ready to leave when a warm yet firm hand clasped around my wrist.
I turned to nick and he gave me a genuine smile.
"Thank you so much."
"No problem. Good night nick." I said and left his room.
But I did hear a faint "Goodnight mia" from the door
Thank god it's a Sunday tomorrow.
But where did nick got those bruises from? Was my last thought as sleep consumed me into a deep slumber.
