He claps me on the back. "You go, brother. Don't forget we have church again at noon though."
“Got it.” I pull out my phone and call a cab, then turn back to Carly. The way she’s hunched over, she really looks like she could have a broken rib. I need to see if Doc can come see her.
“Hello?” His voice sounds like I just woke him up which is great because he’s a cranky bastard on the regular.
“Doc, I need a favor.”
He laughs. "What else is new. It's not a favor though because it isn't free. I'll make my way to the clubhouse."
"No, I'm not there. I need my girl checked out but we will be at her place, and this is on my tab, not the club's." The last thing I need is for this to get back to Pres right now.
“Fine. Send me a text with the address.”
Carly’s cab pulls up, I look over at her, pissed off at myself for letting this happen to her. “Let me help you.”
She waves me off though. “I have it.”
As much as I want to fight her on it, I let it go. I just want to get her back to the apartment and have Doc check her out.
She needs to know how much I care about her and that after seeing her hurt tonight, walking away is no longer an option.
I gave her up once all those years ago because I thought she didn’t want a relationship with me. Knowing that she does and I’m the one pushing her away has been a weight on my shoulders.
I have never cared about anyone like I do Carly.
I understand now the way the brothers act when it comes to their old ladies.
I’ll do anything for her at this point.
