more stitches and more passing out

Chapter 5

~ right before Gally woke up ~

ALEX'S POV

I was actually getting good sleep. Up until somebody covered my mouth and dragged me to the woods. Once we got all the way to the corner of the glade. I only got a split second to see who it was before I was punched, and to say the least I was not surprised. Jamie. He must have been angry he was put in the pit longer than Gally. But right now I don't care. My mind was more worried about getting pummeled by a stupid shank like Jamie. Right before he landed the second hit, I kicked his side, ju dou flipped him over my shoulder. He obviously yelled in pain. He went to get up but I kicked him in the face, instantly knocking him out. That's when I was bear hugged from behind.

Gally's pov

I immediately ran over to make sure Alex was ok. I bear hugged her from behind trying to calm her down, but I guess she didn't like that. She elbowed me in the ribs and when I went to double over she grabbed my head and slammed it against her knee. When I dropped to the floor in obvious pain she saw who it was and immediately bent down to make sure I was ok.

"Oh shit. You ok-"

She was grabbed from behind and kicked in the face. I jumped up and tackled whoever was attacking her. I punched him in the face knocking him out when I saw who it was I lost it. I kept punching him. I only stopped when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I went to punch whoever that was, but when I saw who it was I relaxed and hugged her.

She just sat in my arms, silently crying. For some reason I knew exactly what to do and say. After about twenty minutes she calmed down. We broke from the hug but I kept my hands on her shoulders. We didn't say anything but we silently agreed to go to the med-hut and get ourselves cleaned up after we brought Jamie to the pit. When we got Jamie to the pit we head to the hut.

When we got there I wanted to get her cleaned up first but she practically shoved me down in a chair and cleaned me up. She was surprisingly gentle when she got to my nose.

"Alright we're almost done. But you nose, lucky isn't broken just needs to be reset, which is going to hurt like a-'

"Bitch. Yeah I figured."
I cut her off. She did not look impressed.

"Alright on three."
I absentmindedly grabbed her thigh.

"One.... Two."
CRACK! She re-set my nose and I screamed bloody murder. It would have been louder if Alex had not covered my mouth with her hand to muffle my screams. After my little break down, I focused my attention on Alex.

She went to leave the hut but I grabbed her arm and dragged her to the counter. She tried to break free and almost succeeded.

"Alex, we need to stitch you up."

"No. I'm fine."

"No you're not. Now get on the damn table before I make you get on the damn table."

She didn't move an inch. So I did what I thought at the time was the best thing to do. I grabbed her by the waist and sat her on the counter. Stupid of me. I hadn't realized I did it until she looked down at my hands that were still on her waist.

"S-sorry."

"It's fine. But do it again you lose a finger."
She half joked.

After finishing checking over her other stitches and fixing the ripped stitches, I started to butterfly-stitch her left eyebrow, from where I assumed she got punched. I could tell it was already starting to bruise. I went to stitch her lower lip when she winced.

"What did I do? You ok?"

"You have no clue how to stitch. Get me a mirror."

I rolled my eyes at her but got her a mirror anyway. As she started to stitch it up herself, I couldn't keep my eyes off her lips. Then her hands, her arms, her body, her legs. I stopped myself from going any further. I looked at her face. She had that little concentration face she does on. Her brows furrowed, eyes narrowed. When she finished she tied off the thread and looked at me.

"What?"
She asked.

"Nothing. Come on. Everybody should be getting up by now. And we should check on Minho."

"Ok lets go."

We headed up the stairs but about half way up she started to stumble a bit.

"Wow. you ok?"

"Yeah I'm fine."

"Alex, don't lie to me. You ok?"

"........No.... I'm really lightheaded-"

That's when I had to catch her for the second time in the last two days.

"ALEX! HEY WAKE UP COME WAKE UP!"

"Gally what the he- oh shit Alex. what the HELL HAPPENED TO HER?!"

Minho came out of his room. He helped me bring her up the stairs and into the room next to Minho's. He ran to get Clint and Alby. When they came back, Clint rushed to check her pulse, temperature, and old and new wounds. Just like she did with Minho.

"What the hell happened this time?"
Alby asked.

"I don't know. I woke up to yelling in the woods. When I got there she was already hit in the face and Jamie was on the ground. When I went to check on her she wasn't expecting me so she attacked me too. That's why I'm messed up. Then Jamie woke back up and attacked Alex some more. I lost it and attacked him. When Alex got me to stop, I dragged Jamie to the pit and got me and Alex cleaned up. After that we went to check on Minho and that's when she collapsed."

I finished the long winded story that was this morning. They all looked shocked. They didn't say anything so I focused my attention back on Alex.

"Alright. Tomorrow, whether Alex is awake or not, we banish Jamie to the maze. Now all of you get something to eat. Except you two."
Alby finished pointing to me and Minho.

"Wait why us?"
Minho asked.

"Because you are still on bed rest and Gally, i don't expect to leave her side so no point in arguing with him."

Minho made an 'ah now i understand' face. After they all left, either to eat or go back to their rooms. I didn't leave her side once. I don't think I ever will. Whether she's unconscious or not, I will always be by her side.
