Max
“No. We aren’t going anywhere.”
I leaned my body toward the wall and slipped my arm away from Dani’s shoulders.
“Max, stop being so damn stubborn. We need to get you upstairs.”
I sighed. “Do you have a car?”
“You have to lay down. I think you have a concussion.”
“Yeah, I know I do. I think. I have to go home. I have to get home. Where’s that car of yours?”
“Max, please.”
I glared at her. “Car. Now. Or I’ll find it and steal it myself.”
Her nostrils flared with frustration. “Fine. Yes. I have a car. I’ll take you to it.”
“Good. I’ll tell you where we’re going once we get there.”
“Fan-fucking-tastic.”
I grinned. “Cursing sounds good in your voice.”
She scoffed. “Asshole.”
I chuckled. “Pretty much.”
She took my hand and tossed my arm back over her shoulder. Then we started the hefty trek across campus. Holy shit, how far away was her car? With every step I took, my head pounded even more. It grew worse by the second, and I knew I needed someone to check it out. But not a doctor in a hospital. Not in a place where the police would be called to investigate shit. No, I needed the doctor the crew had on speed dial.
Once I was in the comfort of my own bedroom.
“Where the hell is this thing?”
Dani sighed. “This was your plan, so you can shut up until we get there. All right?”
“Well, look who’s a bit testy tonight.”
“I wouldn’t be if you’d just accept help.”
“This is me accepting help. You’re helping me to your car so you can help me get home. See? Help.”
She sighed. “You’re relentless.”
“And you’re very cute w
hen you’re upset.”
I watched that frown turn into the smallest grin and I considered it a win. I also took the lack of nausea as a win. My head really fucking hurt, but it didn’t come with anything else. No throbbing. No body aches. No fever. No nausea. The world didn’t feel as if it were tilting onto its side, nor did it feel like I was floating around on air.
It’d be nice if I didn’t have a concussion, that’s for sure.
“Almost there. First level of the parking garage across the street.”
I grunted. “Finally. Come on, Bambi.”
“I hate you,” she murmured.
