"Paisley, are you okay?"
Do I look okay!
"Well it is your fault for giving Brit that dare"
Paisley forced her neck to turn to Zachary's side and glared at him with all the hatred she could muster, even if she was wearing a neck brace, sitting in a wheel chair and had her left hand bandaged, Zachary was still afraid of what she could do to him and that made me laugh to see a six feet one man cower in fear but my laughter turned into whimpers when she glared at me
I was afraid too
"Paisley, here's your soup so you won't go hungry and also not stress your throat. It's warm so you don't have to worry about it burning you and I made sure to add little bits of chicken so it wouldn't be bland. Just the way you like it!"
Kayla bowed slightly (a habit she picked from watching too much anime and Korean movies) and placed the bowl on the tray attached to Paisley's wheelchair, smiling shyly when Paisley used her none-broken hand to write a 'thank you' on her clip-board
"So Brit Brit, why did you take so long in Wyatt's room?"
I scratched my head at Zachary's question and thought back to yesterday's event
~~~
After I had called the paramedics, I watched them roll Paisley into the van and tried not to vomit at the sight of Paisley giggling while she played with her dislocated fingers that were coated in blood, probably out of it since they gave her anesthesia to put her to sleep
"Hannah, come here"
I looked at Wyatt and walked to him with my head down, blushing when my head chose to pop up the images of him and that girl, and refused to correct him again with my name
"Yes?"
"I don't want any of your friends to find out about this, especially Paisley"
"Why?"
"Just listen to me and don't tell her anything. Okay?"
"I-I'll try"
"Give me your phone"
"Okay, but why?"
"I want to put my number on it so whenever I need you, I'll just call"
~~~
"W-we were... umm... I! I, I didn't see him sleeping o-on his bed s-so I checked around his house to see i-if he was sleeping anywhere else! But I didn't see him and... well... I was getting ready to j-jump back in the room when Paisley did... that"
Kayla nodded her head at my explanation and helped Paisley tilt the bowl into her mouth when she saw her struggling but Zachary didn't believe me as easily as Kayla and Paisley did but chose not to ask me about it when he saw my pleading eyes
"Brit-"
Kayla was cut off by my phone ringing, I looked at the caller ID and nearly dropped my phone when I saw it was Wyatt
What did he need me for?
"Sorry, I-I have to take this bye!"
I walked out of Paisley's bedroom and outside the house, pacing back and forth when my phone kept on ringing
What should I do?
Should I answer it? Should I not answer it?
So many choices! So little time
Before I could make my choice, the phone stopped ringing and I sighed in relief, placing my hand over my chest and walking towards the front door but shrieking when my phone rung again. I flung my phone in the air by accident and watched as it landed in Paisley's dog's poop, silencing the ringing but somehow managing to pick up the call
Oh geez
"Tiffany, are you there?"
"I-It's Brittany"
"Whatever, anyways where are you? I need your help"
"I'm a-at Paisley's where are y-you?"
"Do you know where 'Big Joe's' is?" (Don't search it up cause I don't know if it's real)
"Yeah, why?"
"Just come"
Before I could say anything, he cut the call and I stared at my phone that was currently sinking in the filthy abyss. I bent down and slowly inched my fingers towards it, grimacing when my phone made a squishy sound as I dragged it out of its 'captor'
I'll just give this to Zachary to wash for me
I ran up the stairs and barged into Paisley's room, ignoring the shocked looks I got from Zachary and Kayla, I threw my phone on Zachary's chest and ran out the house, ignoring Zachary's shouts of disgust and jumped on my bike, peddling as fast as I could to get to (the probably fuming) Wyatt
15 minutes later...
"Sorry I'm late!"
I barged into 'Big Joe's' and smiled nervously when all eyes fell on me, walking towards Wyatt's disappointed self and also trying to avoid the roaming hands of a few mean looking people
"Y-you called Wyatt?"
Wyatt groaned and slammed his hand on the table, standing up and coming a little too close to my face while I tried not to faint from how good he looked up close
"Oh so now you grow balls just because we have guests!?"
"W-what?"
"Is this how your servants normally call you by your name babe?"
"No! She just thinks she is one of us just because I called her to a meeting"
I looked at Wyatt and nodded my head when I finally caught on with his message and he sat down with a sigh. I looked down and bit my lip, shifting from one foot to another while apologizing under my breath
"S-sorry s-sir! I-I didn't m-mean to!"
"Just shut up and do what he pays you to do!"
"Y-yes ma'am"
"Leave her alone Josie, she works for me not you so I am the only person that orders her. You got it?!"
"R-right but it's Ellen-"
"Anyways! Let's get started"
A few minutes later...
Wyatt dragged me out of the room and pushed me inside his car, locking the door before turning towards me with a grin on his face
"You did well for your first time little one"
Little one!?
"W-what was t-that in there?! Are y-you the le-leader of a gang?!"
Wyatt broke out laughing and my face became red when he started hitting the back of the driver's seat with his hands
"O-oh. Oh my"
Wyatt looked at me after finishing wiping his tears but continued to laugh when he saw my angered expression
"W-what!"
"Your facial expression! That was actually a good joke you made, now, Josh, you can drive us home"
"Wait! I got here with my bike plus! I wasn't making a joke, I was serious"
"Really? Fine, I am currently going to take over my father's business since he has retired so all we discussed was what I was going to take care of and who to fire and who to hire because we are the top of the business 'food chain' and I would like to stay there"
"Then why did you need me?! You obviously had everything in control"
"I called you so you could help me tell that Josie girl to get off me and act as if you were my girlfriend but you had to take it the other way"
"How was I supposed to know?!"
He just shrugged and looked out the window, the car starting as 'Josh' reversed out of the driveway but he ran over something that made the car jerk harshly. I grimaced at the crunching sound the object made and felt bad for whoever's stuff it was but when I looked back, I realized something
"That's my bike!"
