Punch in the Gut 🥊💔

You collapsed when it was all over with, not telling anyone you were wounded. You just wanted to get back on the chopper and get out of that hell hole. As soon as you sat down and heard the blades whirring everything went blurry and you were too dizzy to even say anything. 
You woke up in the medical bay, the worst pain you have ever felt. Things were still blurry as you tried to focus, and you could hear the voices of your team whispering in the room. You felt someone grab your hand…”Love? It’s me…I’m here. Are you ok? You scared me.” You were trying hard to focus your eyes but your heart took over for you and responded to the man holding your hand and speaking gently to you.

“I’m ok Simon” you croaked out and the room suddenly fell silent. Simon squirmed uncomfortably while all eyes turned to him. He wasn’t the one at your bedside holding your hand. It was Price, your boyfriend of two years. But you had betrayed him…with Simon.

It wasn’t supposed to happen but it just did. You and Simon both knew it was wrong and you both felt guilty for betraying Price…but you couldn’t stop…you both let it happen too many times.

Price dropped your hand and stood up, crossing the room and going straight to Simon. The whole room stood in silence waiting to see what he would say. Neither Price nor Simon spoke a word, but Price let a right hook to Simon’s jaw say everything for him. Price walked out, not even looking at you on the way out.

Simon stepped over to your bedside and reached for your hand…you pulled it away. “Don’t” you whispered. “Hand me my phone please” you ask. You immediately text Price please come back so we can talk…
