We ate in relative silence, enjoying our meals. I was stuck in my own head again, thinking about my sister. I still struggled with what to do about the realization I'd come to earlier. It bugged me that I didn't pick up on her change in attitude towards me when I visited last and wondered why she didn't hate me for treating her so badly last time, or never coming home. I must have zoned out pretty hard because I didn't hear Tori speaking to me until she said my name.

"Huh. What?" I replied.

"Are you done?" She asked with a smile. She was standing across the counter from me now with her empty plate. I looked down to see mine was all but empty.

"Oh. Yeah, I'm done," I said, handing her my plate.

Tori took the plates and placed them by the sink before tying her long hair into a ponytail. She filled the sink with steaming water and added some washing detergent.

"You were a million miles away. What's up?" She asked as she began scrubbing the dirty cookware I'd used.

"It's nothing. Thanks f

    Back in the ward, Andre listened to hear if the nurse who'd fled was coming back. When she didn't, he did his best to try to forget it ever happened. His skin crawled, and he desperately wanted a shower to clean her touch from his skin.As he moved, his injuries throbbed, and he realized the nurse had forgotten to bring him the pain meds.His mind's internal dialog screamed at him that he deserved this and wasn't worthy of Cassandra.He closed his eyes and prayed she would come to get him soon. He didn't like this place.-=-Cassandra was struggling with her rage as she rode the bus to the hospital. Her piece of shit bank manager had given her a hard time about taking the sick day. He'd kept her on the phone, asking her how she would make up the time she was stealing from the bank. She was proud that she'd been able to keep her voice steady as she listed off the times when he and others at the branch had extended their lunch period, arrived late, or not at all. At the same time, she w

    She felt a reaction and looked up to see his eyes trying to open. She immediately stood and leaned over him to kiss his forehead."Shh, Andre. Everything is going to be fine. I'm here. Sleep. Get better," she whispered, then pressed her lips to his. She felt him moan, then sigh as the drugs pulled him back into sleep.She pulled back in surprise. She hadn't meant to do that. She dropped herself back into the chair.His reaction was circling around in her brain. He seemed to like it, but truthfully, he was high on medication, so she couldn't be sure what he was experiencing.She knew her body was aching for another kiss. She sat further back in the chair as she looked at the sleeping man. Could she trust herself around him? Maybe she was a little overwhelmed with emotion at the moment. He didn't need that.Cassandra sat with him for a while, just watching him sleep. Her eyes returned to his lips too often, so she finally stood and kissed his forehead once more before leaving the room.

    The halls were emptying as students rushed to their first classes. A few teachers were still standing outside their doors and watched him pass.Mr. Cochrane, his skinny, grey-haired geography teacher, wore a disturbed expression on his flushed face. Andre thought he looked angry or disgusted, but he couldn't be sure. The man glanced at the office worker, then turned to shuffle back into his classroom.At the end of the corridor leading to the front office, in the last doorway, was Mrs. Jäger. She was Andre's math teacher and the physical opposite of Mr. Cochrane. Where he was short, old, and frail, she stood five-foot-eleven in sensible flats with svelte curves and fit muscles. The proportions of her significant breasts suggested surgical assistance. As he passed, she was watching him with an intensity that raised the hairs on the back of his neck. He immediately dropped his eyes."Ilsa!" Mrs. Phillips scolded quietly, snapping the tall blonde's eyes to her. She nodded to Phillips and

    Andre shook his head, his thoughts derailed by the sight of her white teeth trapping her plump lower lip. His mouth worked to reply to her compliment, but he'd lost the ability to speak. His trapped erection was painfully straining against his shorts, and he didn't dare let her think he was being a creep.He jumped up from the couch, pulling away from the delicious feel of her body. "I--I need to use the bathroom."He saw her eyes lock on the ridge pressed against his shorts, then he fled to the only room he could go to with a door to put between them. Between her soft touch, her closeness, and her biting her lip, his libido had gotten away from him.He had to get relief.-=-What was wrong with her?Cassandra watched Andre rush away and almost called out to him to apologize. He made her a wonderful meal, cleaned up after her, and she rewarded him by teasing him unmercifully? After what he'd been through? What kind of monster was she?She turned the TV off as it'd lost its appeal. Sta

    A little more than ninety minutes after he got home, he heard keys in the door and wandered over to greet her."Seriously, piss off, TJ!""Come on, don't be so cold, bitch."Andre frowned and yanked the door open. Cassandra gripped the handle tight, so she stumbled inside, away from their neighbor and into Andre's arms.He noted the big man had been standing entirely too close to Cassandra. TJ shifted his bleary eyes to look into Andre's dark eyes."Don't call Cassandra a bitch. Don't touch her. Never again. Do you hear me?" Andre growled menacingly as he gently eased his sister behind him.TJ blinked at the rage he saw building in those dark eyes. Even baked as he was, he recognized the threat of the smaller man. It felt like he was facing down a rabid animal, one twitch away from ripping his face off with his teeth! He raised his palms in surrender as he leaned away and stepped back toward his door across the hall."It's cool! Jus' trying to be frien'ly. Shit," TJ grumbled. He never

    Andre was alone, so he moved the pin in the stack to the middle and set up the cables for a Standing Chest Press. He gripped the D handles and faced away from the machine. He pressed the handles forward in a semicircular motion until both arms were fully extended. He slowly released the pressure and began again. He did a set of ten, then moved the pin down another four plates and did another set of ten."Whoa, whoa, whoa! Marin! You don't start off that high!" the coach growled as he entered the room.At his back were four members of the basketball team, also in their gym clothes: Henry Fisher, Rick Halton, Greg Davis, and Kevin Zeigler. All but Davis were in his previous class and were dating cheerleaders he sat near. These were the guys who glared at him even though he had no say in where he sat. Great."What's he doing here?" one of them asked the teacher belligerently."The same as you, Fisher. Working out," Garlin snapped, then turned back to Andre. "You need to start with less a
