Theo's arm was swung around Avery's waist as she helped him sit down, leaning his back on a wall to keep him up. Avery squatted down by his side so she could reach down to Theo's shirt lifting it slightly up to see the torn skin. Without thinking of what she was doing she placed her hand next to the wound against Theo's skin that was completely covered in his blood and when Theo felt her hand on him he felt his whole body freeze as he looked down at where her hand rested on his toned muscles so she could take a closer look at his wound.

"Do you think your gonna be okay?" Avery asked letting her eyes switch between Theo's blue eyes and his injury. "I'll be fine," Theo answered moving his eyes to Avery who looked concentrated as she took a hand full of her shirt before ripping a piece off so she could wrap it around Theo's gash but once it came in contact with his skin he groaned.

Avery tightened the fabric as much as she could before she started tying it up, not noticing the worried expression painted across Theo's face as his eyes fell to her stomach which was covered up by her leather jacket which clung to her for dear life. He was terrified of what was under her shirt, terrified that she got hurt again and he couldn't protect her. But despite his fear he couldn't help but feel a sudden urge to take a small peek at it.

With each small touch, Avery's fingertips glazed over with Theo's blood resulting in it dripping down her arm and making a small puddle on the ground where her elbow was. Avery didn't notice how Theo was looking at her with such sympathy and the reason behind that was because she was too occupied as she finished tying off the fabric but as soon as her hands fell to her sides she felt Theo's cold fingertips brush against the edge of her bandage that wrapped around her stomach, covering her Stitches.

Immediately Avery's green eyes that once stared down at Theo's torso moved down to see her shirt rolled up with Theo's finger tracing the bandage earning a small shiver from Avery. "Theo," Avery whispered letting her hand fall onto his and pulling it away from her body.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Theo asked as Avery's eyes met his worried ones. Avery shook her head in response as she answered "We had enough going on, and I didn't want you to worry about me."

Theo took one last glance down towards the bandage before returning his sight to Avery's eyes "What happened? And Who or what did this to you?" Theo asked even though he already had a suspicion that it was the beast. Avery couldn't help but sigh at his questions "Theo just worry about yourself for now, alright? Your the one that's bleeding."

"So are you," Theo whispered grabbing onto one of Avery's hands and running his finger across her bruised and bloodied knuckles. Avery quickly took her hand out of his grasp so she could place both of her hands against his cheeks "Not bad as you."
