Chapter 2
Here it is! Hope you like it
oh I still dont own this.
Robert POV
Everything was black, but calm. Even though I couldn't see, I could. I could feel the world around me. I heard Jed calling out to me. I felt him slap me. I wanted to respond but my brain wasn't connecting with my mouth too well. Everything was slow, and the pace was slowing. Even with the slowing, I was still able to feel very well and boy, did I feel pain. Everything hurt but my ribs were killing me. Even though it was dark I could see the red glow coming off of them. Why do they hurt so bad?... Must've been the falling ceiling… ya... that sounds about right…
Jed POV
He had to pass out on me. Good lord. And I still had to get him back to the 'camp' for the night; his ribs needed to be bandaged and we had been gone for too long. Fun night. Being careful not to jostle him too much, I gently lifted him up. I debated carrying him fire man style, but I ended up going with bridal style. I didn't want all of his weight on his ribs. One, two, three, UP! I lifted the boy into my arms. He looked and felt so small. Gee, he was only a freshman, and he still should be. Sure, were all young but at least Tami and I were able to get out of high school. I mean Mattie and Erica are seniors, but, to be a freshman, boy did he seen small in my arms. And he was. As a freshman, Robert still had yet to reach his growth spurt. Instead of putting on weight and stretching out, he seemed to have lost weight over the past few weeks. As I held him in my arms, small and vulnerable to the world, I vowed to keep him safe. His parents were no longer here to watch over him. I would watch over him for them. Heck, I will protect him, as I will do for every other Wolverine. Thinking like that made returning to the camp a little easier, quicker. The burden of carrying a boy no longer seemed to be a problem. It seemed to be a privilege.
Thanks for reading! I really appreciate reviews and suggestions! Thanks again
