Maggie

After the weekend Nash and I had together, I couldn't stop thinking about it. My thoughts had gotten me all hot and bothered. I had to wonder if everyone had experienced their hormones raging. I needed a cold shower.

I started the shower and changed my mind about a cold shower after the water hit my skin. Yeah, a cold shower was a big fat no. I climbed into the tub as the water cascaded all over my body. The door opened and closed with the lock clicking. What the hell?

Someone let their clothes fall to the floor while opening the shower curtain and stepping inside the shower. I turned around and flinched. Nash stood in the tub in his full glory.

I smacked him. "You scare the crap out of me!"

Nash placed his hands on my waist, pulled me to him, and gave me a deep kiss. He grabbed my butt and squeezed as a soft moan escaped my lips. He trailed kisses to my ear. "We'll continue this later."

I arched a brow as Nash smirked, and I groaned. He was a tease.

We washed up, and he kissed me. We finished showering and dried off.

"I'll pick you up after school."

"Okay."

Nash pulled on his clothes as I got dressed. He kissed me and left the bathroom. I finished getting ready for school.

After breakfast, the brothers and I made our way to school. I got my books out of my locker.

"Oh, look, we have the girl with an undying love for someone she'll never get."

I glanced at Bryson and Tiffany. "You're such a tool." I shook my head while rolling my eyes and turned back to my locker.

"What did you say?"

"I said that you're a tool."

As I turned my head, Bryson's fist collided with my face. I fell to the ground while groaning.

"You should keep your mouth shut. Next time, I won't take it so easy on you." Bryson and Tiffany walked away.

I held my nose while groaning. I noticed blood and needed to get to the bathroom. When I tried to stand, I fell. The punch threw off my equilibrium. I crawled to my locker, trying to get to my phone.

Then someone said, "Jesus! Maggie!"

I saw two fuzzy people.

"Stay here. I'll get Nix," a shaky voice said.

The person must have been Nolan.

I grabbed my jacket and placed it on my face. Why won't the bleeding stop?

"Maggie!"

People rushed to me.

"Come on. You need help." The person helped me.

Another person said, "Call Nash."

*****

I sat in the emergency room while the doctor helped me. The doctor got the bleeding to stop and x-rayed my nose. Yep, Bryson broke my nose. My head throbbed as my eyes turned black.

"Sir! You can't go back there!" A nurse said.

"Like hell, I can't!"

I sat on the bed with the doctor standing next to it.

Nash walked up. "Jesus!"

"Here are two prescriptions. One is for pain. The other is an antibiotic. I want you to take them as soon as possible," the doctor said.

I nodded. The doctor left Nash and me alone.

"Oh, Mags."

"Can we go home now? My head is killing me."

"Yeah, come on." He helped me.

Nash brought me home and took me upstairs. I wanted to lie down. I walked to my room, but he guided me to his bedroom.

"Lie down on my bed. That way, I can watch you."

I didn't care what bed I was in at home. I wanted to sleep. Nash got me situated, and I closed my eyes. A broken nose was not fun and hurt like hell. You can't breathe. I wouldn't say I disliked Bryson, but I hated him.

Nash

I came out of my room as my brothers walked up to me.

"How is she?" Nixon asked.

"In pain and tired. Can you get these prescriptions filled?" I handed Nixon the scripts.

"Yeah, sure." Nixon took the pieces of paper from me.

"What happened?" I asked Nixon.

"We don't know. Man, there was so much blood. Nolan found her because he was on his way to the bathroom."

I gave Nolan a look.

"To go pee," Nolan said.

"I want to know who hit Mags."

"What will you do?" Nathan asked me.

"I'll beat their ass."

"Sounds fair," Noah said.

My brothers left. I laid down with Mags.

Maggie

I woke up, and my head throbbed.

"Easy. Here, take these." The person handed me two pills and a glass of water. I took them. The person took a seat next to me. "I would ask how you're feeling, but I can guess."

I glanced at Nash.

"Mags, who hit you?"

"Bryson."

"Why?"

"Because I called him a tool. Nash, I didn't see it coming. I turned, and his fist connected with my face. It happened so fast."

"Shh, it's okay." He tried to soothe me.

I leaned into his chest as he wrapped an arm around me. Tears fell down my cheeks.

"Lie down."

"You won't leave me, will you?"

"No, I'll stay with you." He laid next to me and pulled me to him.

I snuggled into him. At that moment, I felt safe.

Nash

The following day, I went downstairs to get Mags some breakfast.

"How is she?" Ma asked.

"In pain." I seethed with anger.

"Who hit Maggie?" Dad asked him.

"Bryson sucker-punched her. Ma, can you prepare a plate of food for Mags?"

"Sure, Hun." She grabbed a plate, put food on it, then handed me the plate. "I'll call the school and tell them that she won't be in for the remainder of the week. Can you boys collect her homework?"

"Yeah, sure," Nixon said.

I left with a plate of food.

Pat

"This animosity has gone too far," Nate told me.

"I agree."

"You and I should pay a visit to that school."

I nodded in agreement.

Maggie

Nash brought up a plate of food and handed it to me. "Here, eat."

I didn't want to eat but didn't want to argue either.

"Ma called the school and told them what had happened. She said that you're staying home for the rest of the week. My brothers will collect your homework."

I protested.

But he put his hand up and stopped me. "It's Ma's orders."

One thing about the brothers, they never argued with their mother on essential matters. When they did, they found out that she was right. I was okay with it.
