I could do this.
“I need to go to the hospital,” I said, my voice shaking.
“I have everything to fix you,” he said tightly.
“Cole, please?—”
“Trust me.” We entered the house, and he took me straight back to my room and placed me in bed.
I whimpered, making him curse softly. He went to the fridge, quickly put together a baggie of ice, and returned to me. He stuffed some pillows under my foot to elevate it and put the ice on it.
“I-I need to go grab a few things,” he said. “I promise I’ll be right back.”
“Where are you going?” I asked, afraid he’d just leave me like this.
“I swear I’ll be back. I need to get something to wrap your ankle.” He took my hand in his and pressed a fierce kiss on my knuckles. “I-I’ll hurry, OK?”
I nodded, my throat tight. “Please. It hurts.”
His eyes wavered before he released my hand and backed away. It broke my heart to see the look on his face. He was hurting because I was hurting.
I didn’t like that. None of this crap would have happened if he’d just let me go. Or hell, not taken me in the first place.
Cole Scott really did piss me off.
But I was going to play on his emotions to get the hell out of here.
I just really hope it didn’t break me too in the process.

COLE
Iwas going to throw up.
I’d seen a lot of shit in my life. Hell, I’d been through a lot of shit in my life, but seeing Rosalie on the ground, hurt, and trying to escape me was a new kind of pain.
I drove quickly to the hospital and rushed inside.
“Doctor Scott, hey?—”
I pushed past a nurse named Josie. She was always flirting and trying to get on my dick.
Shit drove me nuts.
I went to the supply closet and filled my bag with everything I’d need to care for Rosalie before chucking it out the window to the ground below.
I left the room, and Josie was quick to catch up to me.
“A group of us is going out tomorrow night. I was wondering if you wanted to come with me?—”
“No,” I said, not bothering to entertain the idea.
“Well, you’re not on the schedule. It says you’re taking a few days off.”
“I’m busy.” I kept walking, and she kept pace with me.
“If tomorrow doesn’t work, I’m free all weekend.”
