Its the next day, angelica slept in my bed last night, I know Mateo was against it but she was clinging to me like a baby sloth and I couldn't get her off me. She was completely out of it, unable to walk or talk and her whole body was limp,

I wake up to her still beside me curled up at the edge of the bed with her knees to her chest, she looks like shes shivering?

I touch her skin lightly and shes ice cold and slightly sticky, I touch her forehead and its red hot, fuck she has a fever.

Shes still sleeping so I dont bother to wake her, I throw on a tshirt and go downstairs to grab some medical stuff.

I come face to face with a pissed off Mateo sat at the kitchen island, his eyes meet mine and I can feel them burning into my skull ''morning Mateo'' I try and break the tension by talking first as I walk around him to the fridge, grabbing 3 cold bottles of water.

''Dante'' I know hes mad but I cant deal with that right now

I head over to the cupboard and rummage around looking for anything to help angel.

I grab some painkillers, pills to help with nausea, an empty ice pack and a bucket in case she needs to throw up.

''Whats all that for?'' I grab some ice from the freezer and fill up the ice pack before turning my attention to Mateo ''its for angelica, shes got a fever.

Can you call Stefan and ask him to come by? '' Stefan is our private doctor.

when you do what we do you cant exactly go to the hospital without getting asked a thousand questions so we have a couple private doctors to deal with injuries and counselling for my men and their families.

''Is she alright? Is it the drug? Is she breathing?

'' I roll my eyes at his stupid question ''of course shes fucking breathing.

Do you think id be down here so relaxed if she wasn't?''

He doesnt say anything so I make my way upstairs with my supplies.

I walk into my room to angelica gone, before I can panic I hear noises from the bathroom and knock on the door ''angelica?

Are you in there?'' it sounds like shes throwing up, I open the door and kneel down beside her pulling her hair back ''n-no Dante dont watch this'' I dont move, I continue sitting beside angel holding her hair out of her face and stroking her back

When shes finished getting it out of her system I pick her up and carry her back into bed ''you have a fever sweetheart.

Stay in bed I got you some stuff to help'' I place the ice pack on her forehead and hand her 4 pills, 2 nausea and 2 pain killers ''here take these, and drink these.

I want all 3 gone by the end of the day'' I say handing her all 3 of the water bottles, she nods and swallows the pills and lays back down on the bed

I go back downstairs and to my surprise I see Ivan, leaning against the wall talking to Mateo ''Ivan?

What are you doing here?'' they both look at me and I see Ivan smirk ''ive been called to keep an eye on you'' what does he mean by that?

I raise my eyebrow looking over to Mateo who's stood there with his arms crossed ''I need to go to the safehouse but I dont trust you two alone so I called Ivan.

Hes here to watch you and make sure theres no funny business'' I can feel myself getting angry, he gave me a chaperone?

I roll my eyes and head over to the couch to watch some tv, ''really?

So why am I here?'' I can hear the smugness in his voice, hes enjoying every second of this ''I dont know either my friend, youre welcome to leave'' he comes round to the couch and sits down beside me shaking his head ''no can do boss, I'm here to watch you and I always do my job'' I dont respond and put on a tv show hoping to drown him out

About 40 minutes pass before either of us speak again ''so this girl, you like her dont you?

'' I dont say anything i just nod in response.

''Is this the girl you killed that Jordan kid for?

'' I feel the bile in my throat at his name, hes dead Dante let it go, ''yes he tried to assault her at school'' he nods understandingly and goes quiet for a few seconds

Before I can respond I see a small figure by the stares, shit angelica, did she hear all of that?

''Angelica what are you doing out of bed?

'' i rush from the couch to angel who's wobbling around as she stands, almost like she could pass out at any second.

I guide her to the couch and sit her down in the middle between me and Ivan ''Ivan this is angelica, angelica this is Ivan my childhood friend''
