Avalon: Ha! Ha! FunnyI would love to see you try, short ass BUT you’re right I had to have been blind to deal with Colton’s shit for as long as I did

Madison: Fuck yes! And STUPIDso tell meDid he pee his pants or at least cry this tiers

Avalon: Unfortunatelyno But yours truly did knee him in the balls Soyou’re WELCOME!

Madison: YES! My life is coe, I look up fro driveway My heart begins racing

"Please be Royal Please be Royal," I chant softly, while standing up to get a better look

My heart about leaps out of my chest with excitement when I see that it’s Royal’s black truck, but then quickly sinks at the realization that he e over an hour ago and he never responded Hemy candy bar from my mouth, I wrap it back up the best I can and watch as he exits his truck, sla the door behind him

He stands on the other side of the truck for a fewthat I notice as he steps around his truck is that he’s wearing a black hoodie and his hands are stained in what looks like dried blood The second thing I notice as the blue lighting hits his face is that the area underneath both of his eyes is bruised and slightly swollen

I toss my Snickers aside and rush down the porch in a panic,to take care of him and pull him into ently run ers over his beautiful face as he stands there breathing heavily

"Holy shit, Royal What happened to you? Are you okay?"

He looks at, and it feels likeripped from my chest Only Royal has the power to le look

"My hell is what happened Nothing that you should be concerned with"

Sing, I pull my hands away from his face and drop them to my sides I’m afraid to know this next part, but ask it anyways "Did you hurt so for an answer "Not as h forout without"You shouldn’t have stopped then"

His eyes widen a bit as if he wasn’t expectingat me Unable to pullback every tiainst the door

He brings his bloodied hands up to press against the door, pinningabove mine, only a small breath away His voice is thick with emotion as he stares into ?"

I nod h the thick fabric "If he hurt you, then yes"
