Nine in the evening and still no sign of Xavian. Not even her sister. Though Cily hadn't been home in two days now.
Rubbing her temple in a bit of stress, Poppy picked up her phone from the bed, wanting to call Xavian's cell, but then her screen lit up, Valentine's name coming across the screen.

Oh. The call ended.
She blinked at her screen a few times and got up from the bed to make her way down the stairs.
Poppy beelined for the exit door and pulled it open, only to bump into Xavian, who was just walking in, his palm cradling his aching head.
"Xavian?"
She looked him over, noting the look of pain in his eyes. "Are you…are you okay?"
"My pills…Get them for me."
