Well,shit.

“CAM!” Sadie is crying, sobbing as she tries to rip off her gloves.

Her blue eyes filled with tears as I sat on my ass wiping at my nose and trying to console her as she landed in my lap, tears falling down her face.

She’s acting like she’s the one bleeding.

Her concern is so genuine as she tries to touch me but the gloves on her hand stop her. Her sobs get so loud that all I can do is stare at her, wondering how she is making such heartbreaking sounds come from her pretty lips.

Omega distress scents around me and I hate that she is upset.

The guys are all around us in the ring now.

Paxton is trying to get Sadie up and off me but my arm wraps around her, the need to comfort her overtaking everything else.

“Hey,” her eyes are on me, “I’m okay. Look at me, Sadie love.” She sniffles hard as I tug off my gloves so I can touch her skin. I’m cupping her wet cheek in my hand as Jace moves closer with a towel for the blood flowing down my face, “You’re so strong. I’m proud of you.” And that just sends her off on a further sobbing fit.

Anthony manages to get her up and in his arms. He is scoping her up as she clings to him like a hysterical koala. It gives me a second to press the towel to my nose, looking at Jace with a nod to let him know that I’m okay.

On my feet, towel to my nose I rub Sadie’s back, watching her look up with puffy apologetic eyes. I go to. Her gloves, undoing them for her. Once her fingers are free she gently touches my face, checking in with me.

Sweet omega.

“I am so-”

“Sadie, relax. I am fine. I just didn’t expect it.” She looks miserable. Her eyes peeking out to look at me as her forehead rests against Anthony’s neck.

She’s breathing him in to try and calm herself. Her nose running up and down over it as she takes in the scent of chocolate cherries and coffee.

Her mouth parts and I watch her suckle on his scent mark.

We’re all just looking at her as she sniffles again, looking at me before her head gets buried in Anthony’s shoulder again. Her fingers slide into his hair like she is telling him to not let her go. It's both heartbreaking and endearing to see her like this.

I wonder if he is going to have a mark from where our omega is sucking on him. It makes me jealous it’s not me settling her down.

He rubs against her as he purrs. Scent marking her as she breathes him in and wants to calm down with him. The way he is purring makes her start melting against him.

Sadie obviously trusts him enough to hold her when she is at her most vulnerable.

“Why don’t we get you home, Sadie girl? Get you showered and napped. Gotta have our girl rested for dinner tonight.” Jace is trying to fix everything because he can see Paxton reeling from the way Sadie is crying.

He looks like he is losing his mind as he hears her distress.

If anyone can’t handle tears it would be Paxton. He wants to fix things and having Sadie upset is so out of his control. Where Jace can see that she is upset, know that she needs to process it, and can create a plan for that to happen.

That soothes him and me.

I’m okay with her being uncomfortable because it’s real. It’s needed. And I’m here. Anthony is here. We can handle this mess without worrying about cleaning it up.

Sometimes life’s messy and you just have to accept it.

“I want to go back to my apartment.” Her voice sniffles out the words that are a dagger to my heart.

She hates this date. I ruined everything. I pushed her too much.

I lost our omega for us.

“No.” Paxton finally talks.
