Cash’s POV
The Hawkson siblings fought all of the time and I mean ALL THE TIME, but I’ve never seen Royal so pissed off at his sisters.
“YOU FUCKING LIED TO ME ABOUT OUR MOM BEING FUCKING DEAD! YES, I’M FUCKING PISSED OFF!”
We had rushed into the hospital doors waiting to see his sisters cuddled together and crying about their mother. Instead we found the girls laughing and playing around with their mother… next to their fathers hospital bed. Once the confusion stopped Royal went off.
“TECHNICALLY SHE WAS DEAD THEY JUST
RESUSCITATED HER!”
“A FACT YOU JUST CONVENIENTLY LEFT THE FUCK OUT!”
“COME ON, ROYAL! WE BOTH KNOW YOU WOULDN’T HAVE COME IF YOU KNEW IT WAS FOR DAD!”
“Oh, I wonder why,” he wasn’t really mad at his sisters and I knew it. He was just pissed off because of their dad and was just taking it out on the girls. He brushed Natalie to the side and walked up to his mom, completely ignoring his father, “should you really be up and about right now? You did technically die for like 3 minutes.”
“No need to worry about me. Plus, I’m sitting down.”
“Well, I’m not going to worry about him,” he jerked his head towards his father who was lying in bed with a broken leg, 3 broken ribs, a broken collarbone, and a mild concussion.
The girls were mostly fine just a few cuts and bruises and Mrs. Hawkson had a huge, gaping gash on her side that had just gotten done being treated when we got to the hospital. Mr. Hawkson definitely got the worst of it, but I highly doubt Royal would care if his father was dead at this point.
I was waiting in the doorway when I felt a tap front behind. It was the same guy I saw with the Hawksons before. Which is weird because I’ve never seen him before the ending of the game.
“TÃo!” Emma yelled running into the man’s arms.
As the girl’s greeted their ‘TÃo’ Royal slipped out and I followed.
“That’s our TÃo Carlos,” Royal filled in the gap when we exited the hospital, “the girls love him.”
“You don’t?”
“I used to…. I don’t know if I still do,” I placed my arm around his shoulders and brought him closer to me.
“That’s okay. I know you have to reevaluate things now that everyone knows,” he smiled at me and I kissed him gently, pulling apart as we heard claps and wolf whistles.
“You guys are dickheads. You know that, right?”
“Yeah, yeah,” Marcus, Jasper, and Tristan had stayed behind when the bus left the hospital.
Marcus and I watched as Jasper and Royal walked away to find some food before turning towards Tristan and who had just gotten off the phone with someone.
“So, when are you going to ask him out?” Marcus broke the silence, while placing his elbow on my shoulder and leaning against me.
“What?” He continued to look at us while bringing his drink up to his mouth.
“Come on, T, it’s obvious that you and the Joker over there are crushing on each other,” after choking on whatever was in that cup Tristan looked around to make sure it was just the 3 of us.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Jasper and I are just friends.”
“I didn’t bring up names.”
“Well, I have no doubt in my mind Cash would kill both of us if you were talking about Royal.”
“Not the point. Plus, it’ll be fun if I was the only straight one in the group. Y’all would get the inside scoop from the girls and then pass it to me.”
“Aren’t you going to ask Royal’s sister out?”
At the same time Jasper said, “What made you think we’d help you?”
He completely ignored my comment, “because our boys are dating, so we’re best friends now.”
“I didn’t consent to this.”
“Too bad. Anyways back to the topic. I could give you advice I’m a dude, so obviously I know what dudes like to date.”
“You do realize I’m also a guy, right? Plus if I was going to ask for advice to ask another guy out I would ask the two who are actual boyfriends.”
“So, you admit you want to ask him out. I do give excellent advice after all I’ve got the hottest boy in school,” I poked fun at him.
“I’m not asking anyone to do anything, especially not asking Jasper out. I could never date him. And of course you’d think Royal is the hottest guy ever.”
“What about me being fucking sexy as fuck,” Jasper and Royal had snuck up on us apparently.
“I said hot not sexy you big headed bitch.”
“Same thing.”
I pushed Marcus off me and pulled Royal towards me taking one of the drinks he was holding.
“Anyways while we were at the vending machines,” Jasper spoke up for the first time sounding a bit upset, “we called an Uber. We’ll have to switch Ubers about halfway through, but other than that we’re set.”
“I’m going go say goodbye to my sisters and mom make sure they don’t need anything before we leave. All of you stay here,” with that he walked away.
“I’m going to walk somewhere over there,” Jasper motioned towards an area with benches, “I’ll come back when Royal does.”
He started to walk off before Tristan grabbed his wrist, “Are you ok?”
“Fine,” he snatched his arm away a bit too harshly and walked off.
“What was that about?” I stood next Tristan watching Jasper .
“I… I don’t know.”
“I’ll never understand bottoms.”
“Shut up, Marcus!” We coursed.
Couple hours later
We had stopped at a hotel for the night at the midway point and had just checked in. Royal’s card was canceled, but he still had a shit ton of cash so he payed for a room with that, while I put my card as the security deposit just in case. We all decided to pay Royal back once we got back though.
We could only afford one room, but it was fine since it had 2 queen sized beds and a pull out couch.
“Dibs on the pull out,” Marcus said as soon as we got to the room.
Royal laughed at him saying something along the line of who wanted to sleep on the couch while throwing his backpack down and heading to the shower waiting for me to join him. The room was tense still with the fact Jasper had been obviously ignoring Tristan the entire ride.
“Well, why you guys figure out whatever bothering you guys imma go take a shower with my boyfriend.”
“Better not keep us up with the sounds of fucking,” Marcus joked as a reached the bathroom door.
I stuck my tongue out at him and walked in.
“Why are Jasper and Tristan pissed at each other?”
“I don’t know it just kinda happened when y’all got back from the vending machines.”
“That’s weird. Jasp, found T’s favorite snack that you never find anywhere and was so excited that he ran ahead.”
“Can we please not talk about your friends relationship drama in the shower,” he just chuckled at me and finished taking off his sling before getting in.
I followed being careful of his arm and cast, but at the same time started kissing him… wait, “did you say Jasper ran ahead?”
“Yeah, why? I thought we weren’t talking about our friends drama in the shower,” he kissed my chin trying to reignite the making out.
“You guys arrived at the same time though?”
“No, he was there, but you probably didn’t notice him,” he mouthed my neck, “He did look a bit upset.”
“Ugh.”
“What?” He finally stopped kissing me.
“I know why Jasper’s pissed.”
“Okay, but we’re in the shower, so pay attention to me, your naked boyfriend, you can deal with their drama later.”
I smirked and switched our positions to where he was against the shower wall and we started to make out.
