Take Care Page #7

---

I'm really sorry.

It wasn't because

I didn't love you.

I just didn't want

anything to remind me.

And I'm sorry.

Let's take a look at it.

Oh!

It's really swollen, isn't it?

It's swollen.

Hold on.

All right.

Oh, please, no. I can't.

No, no, no. I'm...

Shh. I'm texting.

I'm going to let her know

that I'm going to be late.

But are you...?

No.

Hon, you're in pain.

It's the least that I can do.

Mm-hmm. Yup.

Right there.

Goddamn it.

This guy, really?

Yeah.

Really?!

He doesn't care.

I've...

Have you talked to him?

Well...

Yes.

You... You hobbled over there

and he hasn't stopped?

I hobbled. I dragged.

Okay.

Okay, I'm going to go

talk to him.

What do you mean

you're going to go...

Hey, Devon!

Devon!

Dev?

What?

Hey. Hey, man.

Can you keep it down?

We're trying to sleep.

Who is?

You know what? If you have

a problem, call the police.

No, I'm not going

to call the police.

Come on. Just turn down

your music, okay?

What are you doing...

Oh, my God. Is that Zumba?

No, shut up.

It's the new cross...

I don't have to ex...

Okay, you know what?

I don't know who you are, but I

know you don't live next door.

And I know you're not

her boyfriend, so back off.

No, what are you talking about?

Listen, she's in a lot of pain.

I'm taking care of her.

Turn down your f***ing music.

Like I said, if you have

a problem, call the police.

I'm not going

to call the police.

You're going to turn down

your Zumba.

Will you step out

of my doorway, please?

No, I'm going to.

Yes, you will!

You know what...?

Douche bag!

You're the douche bag.

Guys!

Devon.

What are you...?

You guys, stop it!

Stop it, you guys!

What are you doing?

I don't know.

What the hell was that?

I don't know.

It was like...

It was like this...

This surge of testosterone.

It was primal. I...

Oh, my God.

It was insane.

That's what it was.

Oh, my God.

It was like this instinct

to protect.

And then, like...

And then he made it seem

like he knew you,

and not just like

as a neighbour.

And then I got all like...

What?

I don't know. Like, jealous.

Did you sleep with that guy?

No.

Okay, okay.

All right.

I didn't, you know...

Oh, my God.

Jealous.

Yeah, shut up.

Jelly bag.

Do you hear that?

Yeah.

What is that I hear?

Nothing.

Wow.

: Ow!

: Oh, my God.

It's okay. It's...

It's okay.

I didn't. I'm sorry.

That was amazing.

Wow.

I just can't... I mean,

I'm like in the mode now.

I can't stop hitting.

I just have to bash.

And I didn't mean to...

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to, like,

kiss and make it better.

Did you kiss it?

I did.

Oh, I didn't...

No, you were in pain. It's okay.

Thank you.

That's why you're not

in pain right now.

Such a spaz.

Yeah.

Sorry.

More, please.

Ow. No, no, it's okay.

Okay, okay.

It's so annoying.

I only have one hand.

I know. I know.

You're doing great.

Okay.

I can't really...

I think we have to...

No, that's not good.

It may be caught. Wait.

Just, like...

Does it come down?

No! That's...

Ow, ow, ow.

Okay. Shh, shh.

So maybe... It's okay.

Hold on,

but now my hand's stuck.

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Be really careful.

I will.

It's okay, it's okay.

I'm shy.

I know you are.

Good morning.

Morning.

Are you okay?

Are you in pain?

No. Oh, no, no, no.

I'm good.

Good. Um...

I need to head home.

I should change clothes

and get ready for work.

Of course, of course.

Um, can I make you breakfast?

No.

Um...

Um...

You should go home.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So...?

Did you sleep with her?

Jesus Christ.

How is that even possible?

Oh.

That's how hot you were for her.

Only, um, two working limbs,

I think it was.

And she kind of smelled.

When I was there

she kind of smelled.

That's me... But you had

to have her.

If we could just

stay calm about this.

No! I get it.

You... You were sharing.

She was sharing something.

Some... Some deep

whatever.

I'm so sorry I'm not sick

and vulnerable,

so you can feel so profoundly

about me too.

Jodi, stop it.

I can get sick if you want.

Would you like me

to get sick, baby? Hmm?

Okay. Oh, yeah.

Oh, okay. One sec.

Oh!

I'm just going to get

food poisoning.

Jodi, come on.

No, no, no. Jodi.

Okay, shh, shh, shh.

Give me.

Okay.

Oh...

I tried to get closer to you,

but you wouldn't let me.

I know, I know, I know.

Excuse me.

Jodi, no.

Jodi.

Jodi...

Hello?

Fall?

Hello.

Hi. Yeah.

That's right, it's me.

Oh, you didn't think

I'd do this, did you?

I could slap your face

right now,

and you couldn't

do anything about it.

What are you...?

What are you...? Stop it!

What are you...? Cut...

What are you...?

Stop! Where's Devon?

Did you kill him or something?

I was nice to you!

Stop!

Oh! I brought you cupcakes.

Oh!

Devon owes you? Does he owe you?

Don't you owe me something?

Like, for instance,

the courtesy not to try and

steal my boyfriend away from me?

Don't you at least owe me that?

Hello? Uh...

Hey, I'm just checking in.

See if you need anything.

Hey.

Yeah, it's no big deal.

I am not going to beat her up.

I said what I had to say.

You have done something

bad to me,

and I will always hate you.

That's very extreme.

Um...

I will never think anything

nice about you, ever.

Just know there's a person

in this world

who thinks you're horrible.

Okay, it's time to go, yeah?

Well, I'm sorry, who are you?

Who is this? Who are you?

Someone else

she's sleeping with?

Jesus Christ. Oh, for a crippled

person, you really get around.

Okay... Whoa!

Stay!

Hey, hey. Look... All right.

It's time for you to go.

You just... Okay.

Jodi?

Just...

Hey, hey, hey!

Whoa! Okay!

Devon! Devon!

Aah!

You see? This is why I don't...

Because I wasn't even...

Bye now.

Thank you!

Whatever!

Okay.

Okay, let's go.

No. It's fine. It's fine now.

I just had to say

something to her.

Just, I...

Okay, I'll wait outside.

You guys can talk,

say how crazy I am.

Oh, by the way,

um, it's hard to work

on my jealousy issues

when you're cheating on me.

Um... I'm sorry.

I didn't know that she's...

No, no. Hey, she's right.

Devon, she's right.

This was wrong.

You're right.

What can I do?

Nothing. We're good.

What does that mean?

We're good.

Really?

Yeah.

Consider the debt paid in full.

Okay.

Dev...

You took really good care of me.

Thanks.

...Jumped out of the back

of a black Lincoln Town Car.

A car service?

Maybe.

But we got no plate number.

Do we at least have a name

on the victim?

You're going to love this:

Crystal.

Is that the first name

or last name?

So you're not going

to see him again,

after all that?

I don't think so.

And he hasn't called?

No.

And it's been two weeks?

Yes.

And you have no idea

if he's still with her

or...

No.

And that doesn't piss you off?

No.

No, no, no.

You guys, you're not going

to get me to be mad at him.

There's nothing to be mad about.

I'm fine.

But don't you miss him?

I mean...

Yes, I do.

But it's...
