The City of Astan [2]

Ace

I tighten my jaw and vow to make the kid pay for that, nodding.

Bella

I nod back and hesitate before trying to move my arm, finding I can but it hurting. Probrably just sprained.

Ace

I stop her, "Don't do that. Keep it still."

Bella

I nod and keep it still, sighing.

Ace

I take her hand and take a deep breath, releasing it when a doctor walks in.

Bella

The doctor walks in and I swallow, glancing at Ace before looking back up at the doctor.

Ace

I study her, taking her good hand again while he looks over her arm, keeping my eyes on her.

Bella

He touches me and I kick him in the gut, "I don't like it when people touch me."

He raises an eyebrow and looks at Ace.

Ace

"Bell, he has to touch your arm to see how bad it is," I tell her. "It's alright."

Bella

I moan, "Fine."

Ace

I flash a smile at her and sigh.

Bella

I glare at the doctor all the while, sighing.

Ace

I make her look at me, keeping a hand on the side of her face while he splints her arm.

Bella

I smile at Ance, setting my good hand over his.

Ace

Maybe I do love her. Maybe what this is. When the doctor finishes, I look up at him, "Tell Marco that he and Edy gotta take care of the kid who did this to her. They'll know what I mean."
