Chaos

five - The Worst Plan Ever ft a Russian and Stormy Eyes

"Okay, everybody knows the plan?" I asked hesitantly as I sat in the front seat of the car, my arm wrapped loosely around my waist. I looked into the review mirror to see both Eros and Jaxon nod, Alec nodding right along with myself.

"I'm going to be walking you through the courtyard door," Eros began, opening his door to get out as he spoke.

"While I play around with a football, and shout for Eros to go long." Jaxon finished as he gets out along with Alec, my door opening to Eros's wary eyes.

"While I chose then to "accidentally" bump Rocky into Eros, who stumbles and falls onto you." Alec says as we begin the walk towards the front, the football Jaxon clutches occasionally spiraling in his palm. "When all three of you fall, Eros is going to somehow land roughly on your ribs."

"Are you sure this is going to work?" Eros piped up, his golden brown eyes looking at me full of concern. He opted to not use crutches today, saying that his ankle was fine and that he'd just have to skip practice if he needed too.

"It's going to work guys, don't worry." I tried to reassure them the best I could, but honestly, even I didn't know if this would work. A million things could go wrong, like Rocky not moving the way he should or someone catching the ball instead of Eros.

I smiled to all of them as we broke away, setting the plan into motion. All seven of the new guys sat dead in the center of the courtyard, my cheeks heating as I made eye contact with the big burly one, not the one that was angry all the time but the Greek guy. I blew out a breath as I forced my arm away from my waist, instead clutching onto Eros's arm as pain kept radiating through me. He separated from me as well, walking behind me slightly so he'd have ample opportunity to fumble.

"Hey Eros, go long!" I turned around slowly as I watched Jaxon pull his arm back before spiraling the football through the air, my eyes flickering to Alec just as he "accidentally" tripped over his own feet and into Rocky.

After that, it was like dominos.

I felt pain erupt like a bomb within my chest as we fell, Eros landing all of his body weight along with the added dead weight of Rocky right onto me. I couldn't breathe beneath them, the sound of my name coming from that group of boys. That observant, crazy group of boys.

I sucked in a gasp as the weight was lifted, curling into my side as I tried so desperately to take a deep breath. My eyes squeezed shut as I heard my name repeated over and over again, my eyes finally peeling open slightly to see Kota's worried emerald eyes staring at me.

He crouched over me, their entire group surrounding me and creating a barrier from the nosy groups in Ashley Waters. "Eris, are you okay?"

I shook my head slowly, moving my arm to rest it on my ribs lightly. "No, they fell right onto my ribs."

He looked unsure before peeking up, making eye contact before nodding and looking back at me. "Okay, Silas is going to pick you up now okay?"

I nodded as the smell of salt and the ocean air filled my nose my eyes shutting as I was lifted. I winced, a small whimper escaping me as I was jostles. The arms around me tightened before my eyes opened, peering into sad dark eyes that reminded me so much of the night sky, except not quite as dark.

No, those were designated for Norths eyes.

I looked over Silas's shoulder, watching Eros smile softly at me as he followed behind. All three of my brothers were following, along with every one of the guys besides Luke and North. I furrowed my eyebrows, searching through the crowd of people before finally locating them. He was growling something at Rocky while Luke was clutching his shoulder, murmuring something to North before those dark night sky eyes shot up and straight to mine.
