Mase

I locked the door front door just as Lizzy Adilin pulled up. She hurried to us when she seen the woman gripping my shoulder for support and her thigh bandaged. "Kia what happened?" The woman, Kia, smiled weakly and started explaining.

When she was finished Liz took Beth from me and set her bag in the back seat. I gave her Beth's carseat and said to Liz "Call Grant and tell him you have Beth and that an emergency came up on my end." She nodded and watched us as I pulled my truck out of the driveway and drove towards the ER.

•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

I never realized how far the emergency room was from Rush's place. It seemed like it took forever. Half way there I spoke up "Is Kia a nickname or your real name?"

"It's just a nickname. It's really Kiara. Kiara Michaels." She said. Her long brown hair was bleached at the ends. It hang low around her shoulders. Clear down to her lower back. Her bright blue eyes were round and her eye lashes framed her cheeks perfectly when she closed them. Her lips were full with a shine but no lip gloss. Her shirt was a silvery tank top that fit her snuggly. Her cut off jean shirts framed her long legs.

She was an angel. But the way she held herself said it all. She didnt know she was beautiful. I sighed and asked "Hows your leg? Is it hurting you?"

"Just a little. But it's fine."

I started to say otherwise but the ER came into view. I pulled into the lot and climbed down from the truck. When Kiara started to climb down I grabbed her waist and lifted her up. She made a startled sound as she went up in the air. I sat her down and helped her inside. I filled out her form and thankfully they got us back sooner when they seen the bandages on her leg seeping blood.

I held her hand as the nurse stitched up her leg. I bought her a soda while we waited for her prescription pain meds. All together we were there for the rest of the day. As I drove Kiara home my phone began to ring. I looked at the screen. My gut twisted. Claire Alexander my neighbor was calling. I glanced over at Kiara. She wasn't looking. I quickly declined the call and the screen went black.

Then it rang again. I started to decline it until I seen it was Grant. I answered and put it on speaker.

"Hey Liz told us what happened. Is everything okay?" In the background I heard Nik and Liz. They were concerned for Kiara. I couldn't blame then. The woman was a goddess.

"Yeah everything's good. We just got out of the ER. I'm taking her home. I'm staying with her tonight to make sure the stitches stay in place and she doesn't overwork herself till her leg heals a little." I said turning into her apartment complex.

Kiara squeaked and laughter erupt from the other side of the phone. Kiara quicky said an apology and clicked off.
