hurt

Chapter 4

"You're up early greenbean."
Alby greeted me a little cheerfully.

I just shrugged in response. After Alex woke me up I couldn't sleep. I decided to walk around the woods. I just couldn't stop thinking how weird it was that both me and Alex had the same dream, on the same night, and at the same time. It was all a little too weird.

"Have you seen Alex today? She should be up already, she never misses breakfast."
Alby inquired.

"No. Not at all."

"Alright. Well go get some food. I'll find Alex."

"Alright."

I went and got some food. I wouldn't-couldn't eat. Not with all the weird stuffs that's happened within the last 12 hours. I sat down at my usual tree, almost expecting to see Alex but nope. No Alex. After I ate I went to look for Alex, but I couldn't find her anywhere.

"Hey Fry? Have you seen Alex? I can't find her."

"U-uh. Nope. h-haven't seen her."

He looked nervous. And he was stuttering. He's lying.

"Fry, don't lie to me. Where is she?"

"I'm not supposed to tell anyone."

"Tell me where she is."

"......fine..... She went into the maze."

I didn't say anything else. Or let him say anything else. I booked it to the entrance of the maze. But before I could take a step in the maze I saw Alex. But something was wrong. She was dragging someone. Not someone. Minho. As soon as I figured it out I ran in to help her. I expected her to protest but nothing. She didn't say anything. We got him out of the maze and Alby got Clint to take Minho to the med-hut. That's when I noticed it. Alex was hurt too; her left shoulder and left leg were bleeding profusely.

"ALBY! ALEX'S IS BLEEDING! ALOT!"
I yelled

"no. No, I'm fine."
She said barely above a whisper.

"No you're not fine. You're hurt."

She nearly hit the ground but I grabbed her unconscious form and carried her to the med-hut. Clint tried to take her from my arms but I wouldn't let him. I sat her on another table, but I refused to leave her side.

"She'll be ok. Just a few stitches she should wake up in an hour or so."

I nodded in response. After he got half way through stitching her shoulder I noticed her eyes start to flutter open.

"Uhm Clint she's waking up."
The look on his face sent me into panic.

"W-what no. no she shouldn't be waking up yet"

''What the hell."
Alex said in a whisper.

"Alex. Hey everything's going to be ok.'
I tried to reassure her. But no use. She sat up carefully despite me and Clint's protests

"No, I'm fine, just finish stitching me up."

"Fine. but this is going to hurt."

"Yeah yeah. Just get it over with."

Then she looked at me. She looked a little concerned when she saw my hands.

"Wow hey. What happened, you ok?"

"Wow. you're the one who's getting stitches and you worry about my hands..... Yeah I'm ok. Not my blood. It's yours and Minho's"

"How is Minho?"

"He should be ok. Alby's doing simple stitches.'

Clint beat me to the answer. Considering I had no idea what was happening with him.

"Ok. I want to see him when you're done. Ok?"

Clint didn't say anything but nodded. After he was done with her shoulder, he moved to her leg.

He grabbed a knife. And I immediately stood up. I don't know why but I wanted to protect her.

"Relax. He has to cut my pant leg. You know to get to the deep cut that needs stitches."

I can feel my face immediately go red and sit down.

Clint starts to cut her pant leg. He starts to stitch her up. I'm surprised she's taking it so well. She only flinches twice when he does it. She seemed to notice my confusion and elaborated

"I've had stitches before. After an accident, only four people know. Alby, Newt, Clint. Now you."

I gave a confused look but didn't question it.

"Alright. You're all done. But please. Take it easy. Gally, I want you to help her go see Minho. And I don't want any protests coming for you. If you don't take it easy you could be on bed rest for a month instead of a week, alright."

"Fine. Let's go see Minho."

As we entered the room. She immediately limped to his side and checked his pulse, his temperature, and his wounds.

"H-hey. Thanks for saving my ass back there, princess."
Minho said. I didn't like that he called her princess though.

"No problem you crazy shank."
She breathlessly laughed. I was getting more irritated by the second.

"Alright. Get some beauty sleep. You need it."
She joked.

"Mhmm thanks. So do you."
Minho joked back.

We left the med-hut and headed for dinner. It had taken a few hours to stitch Alex up so we missed lunch.

When we got there everyone came up and asked her if she was ok, patted her right shoulder, or shook her hand. When Alby came up they just stared at each other for a second, before they hugged. I could have sworn I heard Alby sniffle a little too.

ALEX'S POV

After everyone came up to me, I saw Alby making his way up. We stared at each other before we hugged.

"I'm glad you're ok. I don't know what I would have done without you."
Alby sniffled and whispered to me.

"Me too. This place would have burned to the ground without me.'

"God I hate you."

"Love you too. You shuck face."

We split apart and he immediately whipped his eyes.

GALLY'S POV

When they parted I could see Alby whip his eyes. He was crying. The only time I had seen anyone cry in the glade.

We all dispersed and got our dinners. When we got to Fry he gave her extra food. She glared at him playfully and he gave me extra food too. I was confused but thankful.

Me and Alex sat at our usual tree and ate.

"The accident. After clint got here and got settled in and became the med-jack, me and Minho went to go run. I fell from a ledge. Scraped up my back and side. Minho had to drag my ass back here. Clint stitched me up. Repeatedly. I dont know how to stay on bed rest. Not many people know. I dont want the others to see me as weak. Ya'Know?"

"Yeah. i get that. But why are you telling me?"

"I don't know.... I feel like I can trust you. Why question it." 

After we ate and talked, we headed to our hammocks and fell asleep. Thankfully I didn't have any more dreams. But I did wake up. From hearing some yelling in the distance it was coming from the woods. I went to go check what was happening and when i did it immediately-
