ON THE RUN

So she cares

With the guys gone boredom strikes me. I go to the living room to watch some TV since there is nothing else to do. I start watching some random movie but am not enjoying it at all.

For some reason am worried about the guys, I’ve grown attached to them during a short period of time. I hope they come back safely but they’ve done this before right. So I shouldn’t be worried huh.

I make myself a sandwich for lunch but I don’t enjoy it, it seems so tasteless. Am so worried about the guys.
Argh they aren’t back till now. maybe am just worried about Monty specifically. I hope he’s alright. After my lunch I end up sleeping on the couch. Am woken up by some noises. Yay the guys are here.
Xander is the first one to get in. he gives me one of his bear hugs.

“I’ve never been so happy to see you.” I tell him

“I know am a good vibe.” He says with a smirk and I smack him on the shoulder.
All the guys look fine. Am glad they aren’t hurt.

Monty is the last to enter and my breath hitches when I see him. His hair is so disheveled; I notice that his knuckles are bleeding. There is a cut on him cheek. He doesn’t look so good and yet he doesn’t seem by his condition at all. He meets my eyes. I stare deep into those green eyes. A forest. He doesn’t utter a word just continues to the bedroom.

“Uhm, I will be back.” I tell Xander who still hands his arm across me.

“sure.” He answers.

I quietly make my way to the bedroom. When I enter I see Monty sitting on the bed with his head bowing down. I don’t know why but am scared to approach him. So I slowly walk over to him.

“hey.” I say.

He doesn’t reply. He doesn’t even glance at me.

“Monty, let me attend to your wounds.” I try again. He doesn’t say anything for a while

“No.” he answers coldly after some.

The attitude though. So we will have to do this my way huh. I get out of the room to go find a first aid kit. I find the guys making snacks in the kitchen.

“Uhm, Sage you got any first aid kits around?” I ask. They all give me a look. Dummies I say in my head

“there is one in that shelf up there.” Sage points out

“thanks.” I mutter.

“clean him up real good.” I hear Jake shout once am out of the kitchen.

In the bedroom I find Monty in the same position that I found him. I guess he is deep in thought that he doesn’t even notice my presence.
I sit down before him to attend to his bleeding knuckles
Surprisingly, he doesn’t protest when I reach out to take his hand although he doesn’t say anything. I clean him with tea towels that I dipped in methylated spirit. He stays still as I do my work but I can feel his stare on me. I bandage him up where necessary.

So now I have to work on his bruised cheek. The thought of touching that perfect face gives me tingles. I sit next to him on the bed.

“look up.” I say almost in a whisper.

For some reason am very nervous to be around him right now. he looks up to me without a word. I clean his cheek with the spirit and this time he winces from the effect.

“sorry.” I mutter. I finish him up.

He suddenly speaks when am about to get out.

“why are you taking care of me?” he asks and his voice sounds so broken. I keep quiet for some time trying to find a perfect answer.
