done here, Levi. I can’t do this anymore. Brian just wanted me on the stage and he found a way to make me. I want to go home.”
I tried making plans in my head; calling the airline, packing our stuff and making sure Nix didn’t get sick.
“I’ll let you sit here okay. Relax here while I fix everything, and then we’ll leave, okay?”
She nodded as I sat her in the bath.
I got the few things we had taken out the luggage back inside and found dry clothes for both of us. I had never noticed her Sons of Anarchy underwear before. She loved watching that show, enough to buy lingerie, I guessed. She had packed my dark blue jeans and my Seahawks t-shirt. I never wear that shirt, I wondered why she picked that one. I bought it when I went to see a game with my father.
I heard Nix’s phone vibrate and I sure as fuck knew who it was. Brian. I grabbed her phone ready to yell at the fucker. His name appeared on the screen.
“Don’t ever call this number again, you fucked with what’s mine and I won’t let you get near her again. Your daughter battled with drugs before and spent some time in rehab and now, I don’t know what’s going to happen because of you. What a fucking asshole. Don’t ever call her again.” I pressed end and restrained myself from throwing the phone at the wall. So many things I wanted to tell him, I kept it short, but I think my message was clear, to the point.
“Lev?”
Shit, she heard me. “Don’t worry about this baby, it’s under control. It’s okay.”
I took the last of my coffee cup, even cold I liked it, and I took a bite of my croissant. I was starving but too stressed to eat much. Everything’s going to be fine , I kept telling myself.
Walking around in wet clothes wasn’t exactly comfortable. I undressed and packed my drenched clothes away.
I heard a noise coming from the bathroom. “Are you okay in there?
The sound of her heaving and vomiting made me feel helpless. I rushed to her side, held her hair, and rubbed her back. She groaned in pain and I knew that her migraine was a lot worse than she let on. That or her stomach was ill.
“I’m fine, now. I’m fine.” She didn’t sound too convincing. Her eyes were bloody red and her hair had some vomit in them. I felt bad for her, she looked in pain.
She sat on the floor two seconds and hurried back to vomit again.
“Take your time, Nix. I didn’t call the airline yet. We have all the time you need.”
“My stomach hurts, I have nothing left in me.”
“Do you want some water?”
She declined. “I’m going back in the bath, I need to clean up. I stink.” I saw a hint of a smile on her lips.
She walked to the bath with water dripping from her hair. She stepped in and sat. I stayed right next to her and I stared at her. My heart was breaking for her, I wanted to help, but I didn’t know what to do.
“Are you going to change your mind?”
“About what, Rock Star?”
“About marrying me.” Her eyes showed me a mix of emotions. They told me how scared and lost she was, how much she loved me and how much she regretted last night.
Marrying Nix was the best decision of my fucking life. “It doesn’t change anything, Nix. I knew you had some issues before I asked you to marry me. It doesn’t matter to me, I love you.”
Her bottom lip quivered and she bit it to make it stop. “I’m sorry, Levi.”
“It’s okay, Phoenix, I’ll help you. Bekka will too. You are surrounded by people who care. Don’t worry about a thing.”
“Last night is like a blur in my mind. I remember being hyper and extremely happy but everything else, I don’t remember.”
“Let’s forget about last night, focus on the present. Keep your head concentrated on the good things, okay?”
“I love you, Levi, so much. Thank you for coming here with me. Thank you for not leaving me.”
“I’ll never leave you, Nix. Never.”
Phoenix meant everything to me. She was my life.
