"Uh..Can we stop at a drug store or something?" I asked as Jake drove down the road.
"We aren't gonna let you relapse right now, Jules." Corey grunted as he held his side.
"It's not for that. We also need to get stuff for your wound." I said and crossed my arms.
"I'm fine enough to wait. What do you need to get?" Corey asked and looked at me. "Just...something." I said awkwardly.
I didn't want to talk about what I needed to get with them. I was still trying to navigate my feelings about everything that happened and if I thought too hard about it I would probably cry.
"Okay...we have to make it quick though." Jake said as I nodded. "Super fast." I said and looked out the window.
I couldn't help but feel nervous for not only my siblings, but Colby.
It was really dangerous for him to immediately go back into the violence considering he just escaped from them.
It was admirable that he was so willing to do it for my siblings. It just showed how much he cared about me and them.
When Jake pulled up to the pharmacy I held my hand out. "Money." I said as Jake turned to look at me.
"You're not going alone." He said as I sighed. "I will be in and out. Watch the door." I said and held my hand out.
"That's not a good idea." Jake said as I rolled my eyes. "Then come on." I sad and got out of the car.
We decided to leave Corey in the car because he was clearly injured and we didn't want to raise any red flags.
"You grab stuff for Corey, I need to get something personal." I said as he nodded. I could tell he was hesitant about leaving me alone but he knew he had no choice with me.
I went up to the front counter and waited for the older man working to come help me.
"How can I help you, sweetie?" He asked as I shifted awkwardly.
"I need a plan b pill." I said as he nodded. "Okay, let me just get the keys." He said then went to look for the keys.
Once he had them I followed him to the case that contained them and watched as he pulled one out.
"Thanks." I said quietly then turned to find Jake, trying to hide the container as best as I could.
I didn't know why I was so embarrassed to buy this. It wasn't like any of this was my fault.
I wasn't certain I even needed this pill but the idea of it made me sick to my stomach.
Since everything was happening so fast, I didn't notice the pain between my legs.
Maybe I was just trying to ignore it.
"Got what you need?" Jake asked as I nodded. "Okay, we should probably hurry. Colby would be so pissed if he knew we stopped here." He said and led the way to the registers.
I knew Colby would probably be upset but I needed this.
Jake obviously saw the plan b while we were paying but he didn't say anything about it.
I appreciated that.
Jake bought our stuff then we made our way back to the car.
"Can you patch yourself up?" Jake asked Corey as we got in the car. "Yeah. It's stopped bleeding by now." He said as Jake started driving.
"Sorry you got hurt because of me." I said quietly. "I didn't get hurt because of you. I got hurt because of Colby." Corey said with a laugh.
"Right." I said then looked out the window. I was feeling really tired from tonight's events and didn't feel like talking about what happened tonight.
