“I think we’ll be done here in about an hour,” Bellamy continued. “I’ll text you if we’re running late, sound good? Okay, talk soon.” She hung up and shook her head. “You are seriously stepping in it, big man. You need to pull your head out because if she starts collecting flags, you’re in deep shit.”
She whispered, “Deep shit,” so Mina wouldn’t hear her, and I frowned.
“You don’t know anything about anything.”
“You keep telling yourself that,” she retorted, picking up the paperwork. “I’m going to find Drea and get everything finalized. Are you good to stay with Mina?”
Mina grabbed my arm again and I rolled my eyes. “Yeah, I’m good.”
Bellamy nodded and walked out of the room, while I sat beside Mina on the bed.

Ihung up from Bellamy and took several deep and calming breaths. I discovered that being mad as hell was quite painful in my current state, so I forced myself to unlock my jaw and relax my body. It took me several minutes to retract my claws enough to feel as though I could resist the urge to kill him.
I could not believe he’d spoken to me that way.
Gah!
Asshole.
Red flag number one. I was going to collect those goddamn flags and make a banner out of them that spelled ‘fuck off.’
Once I’d calmed down a bit, the tears started which further pissed me off. I was so over feeling vulnerable and useless. I needed out of this bed, and I needed out of it now.
I threw my covers off and tried to swing my legs over the side of the mattress. The pain made it impossible, and I couldn’t stop a cry as fire shot through my leg.
“What the fuck are you doin’?” Jekyll growled as he rushed to my side.
“None of your business,” I hissed.
“Indigo, get back into bed.”
I glared at him. “What are you doing here?”
“Jesus,” he hissed, wrapping an arm gently around my waist which kept me from falling off the bed. “Let’s get you settled.”
