Forgiving Nancy (Last Hangman MC, #5)(65)

“You can be a bit of a bitch, you know that?” I glare at her.

“Oh, I know, but guess what?”

“What?”

“I really don’t care.” She smirks and wiggles the pee bottle in the air.

“I f*cking feel for Ryan.” I shake my head and extend my hand for the stupid pee bottle thing.

“Oh don’t worry, I’ll take good care of Ryan.”

“I’m sure you will Nursey. Would you mind turning around? This is weird enough already.”

“Fine. Prude.” She mutters as she turns her back to me and I can just picture her smug smile.

I try to maneuver my dick into the hole at the top of the bottle with great difficulty. My stitches pull every time I try to angle my head so I can see what I’m doing and there is no way I’m asking Nurse Sarcastic for help. “Fuck yeah, that feels good.” I moan as I finally get my dick in the right position

“You better be peeing and not masturbating.” She warns me.

“Shit, almost forgot you were there, Nursey,” I tell her

“Perks of being a nurse, I’m very good at being quiet.”

“You’re a bit weird, you know that? I’m done.” I frown as I hand the now full bottle to her. Gross. She disappears into the bathroom and I close my eyes for a second.

I open my eyes and find that Nurse Charlotte has come back into the room without making a sound and is looking at my chart. “I know. People are constantly telling me the same.” She shrugs.

“And it doesn’t bother you?”

“Not really, I know I’m a bit weird, but then again, isn’t everybody.”

“Fair enough. Do you know where Nancy is?” I ask her.

“Who?”

“My woman. She was here earlier.”

“There was no one with you earlier.” She looks at me like I’m crazy and I start to panic.

“What?”

“I’m just messing with you.” She laughs. “I think she went for a coffee. Don’t worry, I’m sure she’ll be back soon.” She smiles reassuringly at me.

“You are such a bitch!” I glare at her.

“Well, my other patients seem to like my sense of humor.” She shrugs.

“That’s only because they’re as weird as you.”

“Oh well. Need anything else? Want some ice chips? We can’t give you any fluids or food just yet” She asks as she checks my stats.

“Please, that’d be great, thank you.” I half smile at her.

“Cheer up, buttercup. I’ll be back in a second.” She winks at me and writes something on my chart before leaving.

A few minutes pass by and Nurse Charlotte’s still not back with my ice chips and neither is Nancy. As I’m about to press the red button, Callum walks in holding a paper cup.

“Nurse Charlotte asked me to give this to you. Ice chips? What a f*cking joke.” He shakes his head as he walks towards me.

“If that’s the only thing I can have for a while then so be it. Give me.” I hold my hand out like a child waiting for candy.

“You’re worse than a kid.” He chuckles.

“Where’s Nancy?” I ask as I pop a few ice chips into my mouth.

“She asked me to give you this.” He sighs and hands me a letter. Immediately a chill runs through my body

“Where is she?”

“Read it.”

“Where i-”

“Just f*cking read it!” Callum whispers loudly. He glares at me before walking back out of the room, leaving me with the letter I don’t want to open and my ice chips. I set the paper cup on my bedside table and unfold the letter.

Bennett,

I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me some day.

I promise you I thought I was doing the right thing. Maybe if I had told you at the start then none of this would have happened.

There’s something I need to do and I wish I didn’t have to, but I don’t have a choice.

If I don’t come back, please know that I’ll always love you, I always did.

Yours forever,

Your Gorgeous Girl.

Xoxo

What. The. Fuck?

She can’t be gone. She said she’d stay. I look around my room expecting her to pop out from behind a door and yell surprise but my heart drops as I realize that it’s just me here. I can’t believe she left. Is it because I said I needed time to forgive her? I honestly thought she’d be here for when I wake up and we would work through this together. I reread the letter and my blood runs cold as I really take in what ‘if I don’t come back’ means. Where in the hell has she gone that would risk her not coming back?





CHAPTER 29



Nancy

Leaving Bennett and giving that note to Callum is killing me. I didn’t want to leave him. Even though he can’t forgive me at the moment, the last thing I want to do is leave his side. I feel like I’ve left my heart behind in that hospital bed. All because I’m about to do the stupidest f*cking thing I could possibly do. At least with the note, if anything happens to me, he’ll know that I’ll always love him.

I took the first flight I could get to Texas. It seems that me and my parents need a little heart to heart. I’m not giving into them, there is no chance of that; I just need to make myself heard so they will finally let me be. Going to them by myself might be a stupid idea in hindsight, but I didn’t want to risk Bennett’s wellbeing because let’s face it, he would have demanded to come with me.
