Why couldn’t he be a dick? Why did he have to slip into nurse mode and make me feel like a helpless child?

By the time I was sitting on his couch with my legs up on the chaise, I was so angry my hands were shaking.

“Here.” He handed me a bottle of water.

“I’d rather have coffee.”

“Water first. You need to hydrate.”

“I’m not a child. If I want coffee, then I want coffee.”

“You might not be a child, but you’re acting like one.” He put the bottle on the table next to me. “Drink that and I’ll make you a damn coffee. I never said I wouldn’t, just that you need to hydrate.” He shoved my phone into my hand. “This went off, like, ten times before I got up.”

I gripped my phone as he turned and headed into the kitchen area.

Still itching for a fight, I cycled through the texts.

Kai: how are you feeling?

Kai: answer me

Kai: I’m giving you another hour before I call your brother

That text had come in forty minutes ago.

Gray: just woke up. Feel like shit but I’m not dead so leave Eli out of it

I went to the next thread.

Nick: are you okay????

Nick: I’m kinda freaking out

Nick: omg are you dead? I thought Zane was being dramatic?????

Gray: Im not dead. Just woke up

He read the message as soon as it sent, and the little bubbles appeared.

Nick: thank god! You scared me!

Gray: didn’t mean to. I’m okay

Nick: are you lying?

Gray: I’m fine. Just some sprains nbd

Nick: did you hear about what happened after you left?

Gray: what?

Nick: c & r went apeshit on us and said they were going to fire everyone and shut down the club

Gray: what? Why?

Nick: c’s been skimming our tips!

“What?”
