For The Sake Of Him {Clan Mafiõso Series II} On Hold

Chapter-16: Dumb and Dumber.

"Uh...nothing. She's just mumbling...you know just random shit." At that moment, I was thankful that my hands were around Sylvia or I would have scratched my ear and Adrian would've caught my lie.

"She's in shock. Let's just take her to the hospital and then we'll drop her home if she's fine." I nodded to Adrian's suggestion.

"I'll take her." Dante pulled Sylvia towards him but I pulled her back.

"No! You... You sit in front with Adrian. She's a bit heavy, you won't be able to pick her up." I said.

"How do you knkw she's heavy, you haven't even picked her up, yet?" Danye narrowed his eyes at me.

Fuck Dante's Sherlock abilities.

"Just get into the car, guys. Alejandro pick her up, let's not waste time." Adtian ordered.

With one hand under her legs and the other behind her shoulders, I picked her up.

Fuck! She was heavy.

Her eyes had closed by now and her head lolled against my chest. Adrian was already in the car and Dante walked ahead of me.

It's the second time this girl has been hurt because of me and I can't help but feel guilty. I was actually on phone with Eric, who managed the dirt track with me and Ilian. He was talking about starting up the ring again since the drama with police had died down. I think I was too engrossed in the conversation and didn't realise I was walking backwards onto the road until Sylvia pushed me aside and the car sped past us.

Dante opened the door of the backseat of Adrian's car for me. "Be careful with her head."

"Yeah." I bent down a little and placed Sylvia on the seat and adjusted her legs so I could sit beside her. 

"I don't know why but seeing you and Sylvia together reminds me of what Paco, that black magician said." Adrian turned back and said.

"He was a tarot reader, Adrian. I don't think black magician's exist. Stop talking like grandma's friends." Dante smacked Adrian's head and earned a few profanities for himself.

At the mention of Paco, I couldn't help but remember what a shitty day that was. He made me feel like I was some sort of a beast who was just born to cause misery to people. Whatever happened between me and Sylvia were coincidences, at least this one was. 

"Let's take her to Speciality Hospital, Downriver. That's closest from here. Plus, we've evaded Jamie and his team and they wouldn't think about looking for us at a hospital." 

After getting Sylvia checked out, we decided to drop her to her house. Dante had asked Phillip for her address. He seemed a little vary before actually telling him the address.

The doctor said that she had just fallen unconscious due to the shock and apart from a bump on her forehead and a few scratches, she was fine. Thankfully, her parents were not home and we were greeted by someone whom I assumed to be their housekeeper. It was kind of nostalgic as we had dropped Janet in a similar way a night before. 

We had left her house soon after. But I couldn't help but think of how the year was turning out to be too dramatic for all of us, well except for Dante. His life still seemed the same- simple and boring as fuck.
