What??
Lucky for her she made it to her apartment. She winced and cursed herself for living in the top apartments.
Not lucky for her, someone had broken in and left the door ajar.
"Shit" Maggie whispered what the hell what she gonna do now she couldn't just barge in there. What if the robber had a gun, she was fucked. Thinking of what to do she remembered that she hand a gun in her pack. She didn't even know she still had the satchel on her shoulder.
She removed it and unzipped the pack and pulled out a buretta nano ' thank you god' Maggie thought. The gun now in hand she positioned it to the door.
Slowly walking in staying alert she pushed the door more open the gun still pointed straight. She turned on the lights and she gasped when she saw John in the middle of her living room just in shock.
"For fucking.....sake john" she said putting her nano down. "I Could have shot you" she signed and placed the gun on the key bowl.
John still shoked he recovered when Maggie shut the door while she stood looking at him.
What.....in the....HELL HAPPENED TO YOU." he panicked and was clearly still in shock his eyes were wide and his mouth hung open.
Oh great know she was gonna have to explain, she was not going to get out of this one easily.
"Nothing.....just a little scratch" she said as if she had lost all her anger and was finally relaxed.
"NOTHING!!!" He yelled and stepped in front of Maggie. "Maggie this is not nothing" he said taking her arm and looking at the long cut between the middle of her arm and almost all the way to her top side elbow.
"OW what the hell....jonh" she snatched her hand back and held it. John had gone speech less what was he supposed to do know. she took a deep breath. "Anyway....john why are you here." She snorted in a calmly way.
"don't change the subject maggie....tell me what happened." he said worried. The cut has not stopped bleeding. Maggie was starting to feel weak again and shook her head. She passed by jonh, clearly not answering him, she stopped in front of the cabinet in the kitchen she reached for the whisky.
John didn't say anything but, when he saw Maggie getting the stuff he knew she was gonna take care of it herself. "Maggie". He crossed his arms over his chest.
Maggie was now face to face with john." Well are you going to help me...or...do I do it myself." She said with a smile, holding up the bottle, trying to lighten up his worried face.
John nodded at her and followed her into the restroom, john sat down on the toilet, just looking at her. When he saw Maggie moving to the tub to sit down John got up and helped by grabbing her elbow. Maggie snatched it away. He flinched at her movement.
She faced him and said "sorry....jonh...but I can do that myself." She snapped as she put the whisky in between her legs. John just shrugged, Maggie felt kinda bad, looking at his face. he was trying to help her but, she was to stubborn.
John still standing in place. Maggie was now seated in the bathtub. she then spoke "jonh you can just....get me the supplies...you think I need" she pointed at the drawers.
John smiled in response and went into the drawers he got the gauze, sissors, and a rag to clean of the blood.
Rolling up her sleeve while john got the stuff Maggie winced at how the cut was long "fuck" she hissed. she leaned back catching her breath.
Jonh stepped in front of her putting the supplies on the floor next to the bathtub and then looked at her "anything else you need" he said as he stood up.
Maggie turned her head still leaning against the tub " get me....a needle and the thread" she said knowing how he was going to react.
"ARE YOU CRAZY" he yelled and Maggie flinched.
"Just go to the hospital....Maggie." He said more calmly now.
"You know....it's not that easy?"she said
"What do you mean.... not easy" he was confused." We just say that you got hurt by a mad man...." Maggie interrupted.
"And then what...jonh....the mad man does not even exist."she scoffed along with a scowled look.
John stood there thinking of what to do in this sort of situation, he got it. "We can say that he ran off and that you couldn't see his face because....he was wearing a black hoodie with holes so he could see." He said in a enthusiastic way.
"Not hating to break it to ya....but who in the hell is going to believe that" she stated her voice crumbling for all the breath she's taking in and out and clearly dehydrated.
John was thinking again but before he could think any further Maggie's voice made the idea go away.
"John.... just do this for me....okay" her voice serous as can be.
John kneeled beiside her and looked at her. She felt he was staring at her for an eternity. "jonh" she hissed.
He wasn't even helping her get better. He knew she was still gonna say no to anything he said so he just let it go. John took a deep breath and then let it out and said" fine...okay".
Maggie smiled at his response and john stood up. " there in my bedroom....on the nightstand." She said.
John nodded and was out of the bathroom. While John looked for the items Maggie felt a little sleepy and then her thoughts went to Alex ' how the hell was she going to hide this from her? ' 'what would Alex say or do?' She sighed and then winced every thing hurt. 'should I even tell her?' Maggie thought.
'No....no....no Iam not even that hurt' she reasured herself. 'If I tell her Iam just going to worry her, and she's gonna wanna Know how it happened, when it happened, and get in huge fight, because Iam stubborn to let her help me...oh great god just don't tell her Maggie.' She smacked her head with her good hand.
Getting mad about what to do with Alex she clenched her teeth, grabbed her side she had to do it know before John came and realize that she was hurt even more."ahhhggg". she sat up, her back still touching the inside of the bathtub.
John came back with the items Maggie requested, jonh handed the items to Maggie and said "jonh are you ready....to...um stitched me." She breathed out. Johns eyes go wide again.
When he didn't reply Maggie started "Oh come....on jonh your not scared of a little blood are you" maggie said grabbing a rack and cleaning off the blood that had now stopped. Maggie smirked.
"Oh....please it's gonna take more than a little blood to scare me" jonh shook his head and chuckled.
"Ok....fine do it" Maggie gave him a competitive look.
John nodded grabbing the thread and putting into the little hole of the needle, tying a knot so the thread slide out. While Maggie cleaned up the remaining blood that was dry.
He looked at Maggie ready for stitching. He hesitated "Maggie are you sure you wanna do this".
"John....just do it" she was getting annoyed.
"I know....but" john was interrupted.
"John...do it...NOW" she raised her voice and he leaned back a little, clearly startled.
The cut wasn't deep but not all of it was a scratch, she just needs a few stitches. But john was taking to damn long to get this over with.
Jonh nodded "fine" he said giving up his argument. Maggie moved her arm so it was now on the edge of the bathtub. She grabbed the bottle and gulped once. this was going to hurt.
Jonh put his left hand on Maggie's arm to hold it in place and started stitching. Maggie winced as she felt the needle poke through her skin. She drank the whisky again.
Jonh looked at Maggie's face teeth gritted, eyes with few tears. At some point john thought she was going to pass out but, she didn't.
Maggie drank a gulp of whiskey while John stitched the last stitch on her arm. She was glad this was almost over she had been trying to hold her yelling and cursing at john but she held it with the help of the whiskey of course.
John had finally finished after 2 intense minutes. "Ok all done" john put the items aside and stood up stretching his legs.
Maggie placed the now half filled whisky on the floor next to the tub. "thanks" Maggie said looking up at John.
John looked at her. "Well at least your not injured anywhere else" john said as he sat down on the toilet. " I don't think I ever want to do that again." He laughed.
Maggie laughed. She was hurt even more than the cut on her arm, her side was aching really bad and the hard bathtub was not helping. She made her 3 attempt to get up but she was to exhausted and a bit tipsy.
She got up forgetting the pain on her side and stepped out side the bathtub, john just looked at her.
"We're do you think your going" john said she was at the doorway when john spoke.
"Um...kinda tired.....as you can see" Maggie said gesturing to her body. " and hungry". She pointed to her growling stomach.
"Yes....I know your tired....and hungry but you owe me an explanation" john said not willing to let it slide.
"I don't owe you sh... ok fine" Maggie said she clearly was tired and she just wanted to sleep. So she gave up. And moved into the living room and sat down of the couch.
John followed her and sat down arms crossed with a frown. "Maggie...what happened." He asked calmly.
Maggie sighed loud, well she had to tell him, he did help her after all. "ok...i crashed into a car." Was all she said she tried to get up but a hand stopped her and she fell back on to the couch.
"That's all.... really Maggie.... just that." John squinted his eyes and then after a moment his eyes widened "omg....did you kill the person."
"No...jonh I did not kill him you idiot." Maggie crossed her arms over her chest. Glaring at John.
"Ok then tell me so I can understand" john said unfolding his arms letting them fall on his thighs.
Maggie explained to John what had happened. When she was done all john did was widen his eyes and told Maggie that she was stupid.
John was shocked but it broke when Maggie spoke. "Ok since I told you what happened...it's your turn." With a grin.
John looked confused and spoke" what do you me...ohhhh right." Now remembering what he was doing here. He had broke into Maggie's apartment because he wanted to make up to make so he brought pizza and beer along with him.
"Um...about that" john said in embarrassment and smiled shyly at Maggie
"John why did you break in" Maggie eyed
him.
"Um...I..I came to apologize... about the whole thing earlier... so when you left I had an idea...another way to apologize so I went to go buy pizza and then buy beers." He said quickly.
"iam sorry john... and I forgive you" Maggie said in all seriousness.
John looks at her" Iam sorry to Maggie... I shouldn't of said that" jonh looked at his feet.
"No.... I can be a little over bored sometimes" she said smirking.
"A...little" john said giving her an arched brow and laughed.
Maggie laughed with him "whatever john" she rolled her eyes. " so this... pizza and beer I heard about so much..." she was interrupted.
"Wow..really...it's on the table and the beer is in the freezer." He chuckled at her when she got up almost falling and heading to the kitchen table.
John checked the time on his watch and jumped up realizing it was 11:50 he had to be home for work tomarrow. John got up and walked to Maggie sitting on top of the kitchen table, eating a slice of cold pizza.
John grabbed a slice and said " well I have to go get some sleep and so do you" he said before biting the slice.
Maggie just nodded in response she had a mouthful of pizza so she couldn't talk. John chuckled.
"Night Maggie" John said crossing the room she turned around when Maggie said something.
"Night... ass face" she cracked a smirk and then chuckled.
"Don't make me... call the police" he gave her a devilish smile and left out the door.
Maggie knew he was joking and finished the last bite of pizza and slid off the table wincing again mound know that john was gone. She walked to her bedroom ready to just die there. She rapidly went to sleep. The other problems start tomorrow if no one finds out.
