Alright here chapter 6!
My night's sleep was restless and tense, my dreams consisted of dark memories, grabbing hands and no escape. So waking up the next morning it was no surprise when I woke tired and restless, seeing as how today was Monday I was not thrilled to drag myself out of bed and get ready for the day. Even though I didn't want to go to school I knew that I wasn't about to neglect my studies just because of a phone call.
Sighing I rolled myself out of my bed only to be pushed back down by a heavy and furry body, "Titan, not today boy please." I groaned.
Hearing him whine I saw him lay flat his ears and rest his head on my chest sighing I rubbed both hands along his ears perking them back up, "Sorry boy it's just not that good of a morning."
Lifting his big head I kissed his nose in apology, "Alright now off you, let's go eat.
At the mention of food Titan literally jumped off of me which resulted in him pushing his large paws into my stomach which elicited an 'oof' from me, "Ow."
Sighing I rubbed my hand over my stomach in trying to sooth away the small ach and surprisingly it worked standing I made my way to my bedside table to retrieve my phone. Unplugging it from its charger I checked to see if my dad called anytime during the night but by the look of the notifications he hadn't. Frowning I dialed in his number and tried calling him again only to have the same result, no answer.
Shaking my head I put my phone in my waistband and went out to the kitchen, looking at the time on the microwave I saw that it was only five-thirty in the morning, "Ugh it's too damn early, oh well it gives me plenty of time to shower since I didn't last night." I mumbled.
Grabbing Titans food bowl I filled it up with his food and then started preparing my own meal of some eggs and bacon. Once finished with our meals I took Titan out for a quick morning jog, ever since my injury healed I have been having daily jogs and runs, I have never been happier. When I came back in it was barley six, so grabbing my small speakers I took them to the bathroom and plugged them in. Going back to my room a grabbed another pair of sleep pants and a tank top then made my way back to the bathroom, after plugging in my phone into the speakers I started my nice long hot shower.
By the time I got out of the shower it was nearing seven, "An hour shower I'm so happy that I have a really good water heater."
School starts at eight-thirty so I had plenty of time to just sit, relax and watch some TV and that is exactly what I did, grabbing a blanket from my room I made myself comfortable on the living room couch. After laying down Titan lied himself down in front of the couch and promptly fell back asleep smiling at him I let my arm fall over the couch so I could pet him.
With me being so comfortable I myself fell into a lite doze but a knock at my door woke me with a start, groaning I lifted myself off the couch to answer the door, looking through the peephole I saw that it was Takeo and Shinwoo. Opening the door I greeted the two, "Mornin'." I mumbled.
"Um g-g-good morning Ari." Shinwoo stuttered, seeing how his eyes and those of Takeo dart anywhere but me and seeing a faint blush raise on their cheeks I looked down at myself in confusion.
Oh. I thought to myself, it seemed when I got up from the couch my shirt had ridden up some which exposed some of my stomach laughing I hastily pulled it back down, "Sorry guys come on in."
When they walked through the door I invited them to take a seat anywhere while I went to the kitchen to get them something to drink, "You have a nice place here Ari." Takeo commented.
"That's right this is your first time here isn't it Takeo?" I said placing the drinks down on the living room table. Checking the time I saw that it was already eight and I knew that I had to start getting ready for school but something was bugging me looking to Shinwoo I asked, "Shinwoo, what are you doing here exactly, isn't it too early for you to be awake?" I said poking fun at him.
Frowning at me he said, "Ha-ha very funny I just woke up earlier than usual and was on my way to school when I ran into Takeo. I asked him what he was doing over here and he said he was coming to pick you up I thought I'd just tag along, but what did you need to come pick her up for Takeo?" Shinwoo said turning his attention to Takeo.
That's right no one else knows.
Now what could possibly be a good reason I could tell Shinwoo and the others why Takeo and the other two were stopping by my place every morning to escort me to school, "Well remember when I said I had to discuss something with Mr. Lee last night, well it seems that I have a bit of a problem." I started smiling a little sheepishly to Shinwoo.
"What kind of problem?"
"You see, um for the past couple days and nights when I've been taking my runs I've noticed that someone has been sort of, you could say following me."
"Following you? Has this person done anything, why haven't you told us Ari?" Shinwoo started shooting off.
"Easy, easy there Shinwoo no this person hasn't done anything, the reason I haven't told you or anyone else is because I didn't want you guys worrying about me. That's why I took it straight to Mr. Lee and he said for just a few days that the guys are going to start escorting me to and from school for a while. Besides anytime I go out or anything I have Titan with me so there's nothing to really worry about Shinwoo, promise." I said that last bit with I hope a convincing smile.
It wasn't a complete lie I did have someone that was technically following me, "Look Shinwoo please promise me you won't tell any of the others about this please."
Seeing him sight he rubbed the back of his head in irritation, "Alright, but on the condition that you call me if anything happens alright."
Even with my explanation it seemed that Shinwoo was exactly to happy to hear the reason for my new escorts, "Promise," I said with a smile, "well you guys let me just go ahead and change real quick and then we'll head on out, ok."
Hearing their mumbled 'ok's' I left the two to go change, once in my room I found a clean pair of jeans and slipped them on along with my shoes. I didn't bother with a t-shirt so that only left me in my sleep tank top, heading back out to the living room I got odd looks from Shinwoo, and Takeo was looking anywhere but at me.
Guess it isn't good for school workers to see a student in such a state of dress. I thought laughing.
"Thought you were getting dressed." Shinwoo stated, while looking at my state of dress as I walked to the kitchen where my uniform jack lay on one of the chairs. Grabbing it I went back out to the living room, "I am, see." I said throwing on my jacket, "Ok so ya'll ready."
By the standing of both men I figured that they were so after grabbing my backpack and kissing Titan goodbye the three of us left my apartment.
By the time the three of us reached school Takeo had left us to start his security guard duties so that left Shinwoo and I walking into the school with five minutes to get to class. When we finally reached our homeroom class was just starting, taking our seats our school day began, and with it the memory of last night slowly faded.
O-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
"So Ari why did you have to stay behind at Mr. Lee's yesterday?" Ik-han questioned.
Shrugging I said, "It was nothing important really, just had a question about something that's all."
It was the end of the day and our little group was on our way off the school grounds most likely headed to Mr. Lee's place for some good food and games. Thankfully with the day and all of the school work it had brought me a sense of peace to my mind, not once in the day have I thought about Thorn.
But what had helped the most was P.E today we had a free day outside and I had decided to do laps around the track a few times and any stress that I had left me with that run. So now I feel energized and ready for the rest of the night which I'm sure consisted of bothering Mr. Lee at his place and then another run tonight.
Walking to the school gates we were met by the three guards, greeting them we all discussed on what we were going to do for the rest of the day, and as for most days we of course headed to the principles home. Walking down the streets our little group poked fun and cracked jokes about each other so our walk was highly entertaining but while I was in the middle of shoving Shinwoo something caught my eye out of my peripheral. Stopping I looked to my right across the street, I couldn't see what had caught my eye because of how crowded the street was so I just continued on walking, but before I could get to far something once again stopped me, something familiar.
Once again stopped in my tracks I put my attention back on the other side of the street but this time I caught sight of what was familiar, through the crowded street I caught glimpses of a person. Taking a hesitant step to the edge of the sidewalk I narrowed my eyes to try and confirm what I was seeing.
Sure enough the crowed thinned for a second and for that one second it was as if everything stopped, within that second I saw in complete clarity Thorn. After six months he looked exactly the same, six foot, an amazing body, possibly the only difference about him was that his hair was now a little longer and shaggier. Closing my eyes I told myself that he wasn't real, that he was still in the States doing who knows what, but then a thought hit me.
The number, how stupid of me he could of called from a damn cell phone.
It was possible, even still my cell phone still had the same area code from when I was living in Texas, how stupid could I be?
Opening my eyes I stared across the street where he was standing not but a second ago, now it was the same crowded street after a few seconds sound and movement started coming back to me he was gone. Feeling myself tense up and my breath come in short pants I was beginning to panic, then a gentle hand on my shoulder made me jump and gasp in fright turning I saw Adjussi behind me.
"Are you alright?" He asked, I could faintly hear Shinwoo and the others calling out to me but I paid them no heed, turning back to look across the road I saw that Thorn really wasn't there.
My imagination that's all, he's not here.
Licking my suddenly dry lips I turned back to Adjussi and gave him, hopefully, my best 'I'm-ok' smile, "I'm fine it's nothing Adjussi."
Taking one last look to the other side of the road and giving Adjussi another smile I ran to catch up with the others, taking a look behind me I saw Adjussi staring across the road just as I was a few seconds ago, "Adjussi!" I called out, seeing him turn to me I gestured for him to come along, a second later he started walking.
Turning back around I quickly made my way back to my group and a second later Adjussi did as well.
Nothing but my imagination it's just the stress of last night and how little sleep I got.
O-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
By the time we got to Mr. Lee's I was already ready to just call it a day and head home, with that little episode with Thorn I was in no mood to play any kind of games with everyone. So as of now I was just sitting on one of the living room chairs sipping away on my drink watching the others play some game. Mr. Lee and the guards were somewhere upstairs so that left Regis, Rai, and Seira downstairs with us.
Slumping down in my seat I brooded over 'seeing' Thorn, he had to be a part of my imagination he just had to, but something told me that he wasn't that he was really here. Sighing I got up to go to the kitchen, once there I dumped my drink into the sink turning around I leaned against the kitchen island. Pulling my phone from my back pocket I again tried to call my dad, putting the phone to my ear I waited while the phone rang….
…...
…...
…...Hi you've reached Alexander Rivers please leave your name and number and I will try to get back with you as soon as possible.
After the beep I left my message, "Dad I need for you to call me ok, as soon as possible alright. I know we had our little fight a while ago but I really need for you to call me, I need to tell you something so please call back as soon as you get this. I love you."
With that I hung up, breathing deeply I tried to calm myself I could already just feel the prick of tears forming in my eyes. It was finally sinking in that Thorn Sinclair was coming back for me and I didn't want Mr. Lee or the guards here for me I wanted my dad. Sniffling I wiped at my eyes to try and clear whatever tears may have gathered in my eyes.
"Ari?"
Taking my shirt I quickly wiped my face, with that done I turned around to see Mr. Lee, clearing my throat I gave him a small smile, "Hey Mr. Lee."
Walking up to me he asked, "Are you alright?"
That seems to be the common question around here.
"Yeah, I'm fine." But it was obvious that I wasn't I knew that my voice was a little scratchy from my throat closing in from my almost tears, and that my eyes were red from when I rubbed at them.
Seeing the man sigh he led me to the kitchen table where he pulled out a chair for me to sit in after being seated he took a seat in front of me, "Come now Ari you can tell me what's bothering you, is it the call from last night?"
Brushing my fingers through my hair I let out a deep sigh, "Yeah it is, along with the fact that I didn't get any sleep last night and my dad has still yet to answer any of my calls I'm beginning to worry about him. Also no offence to you or the guys but right now all I want is my dad here comforting me and not you or anyone else, I mean I know his job is important but all I want is him."
Crossing my arms over the table I laid my head on them, taking another deep breath I mumbled out just loud enough for him to hear, "I just want to go home Mr. Lee, to my ranch to my friends to my idiot ranch hands that loved to irritate me. I just want my life back to where everything was normal, to where I didn't have this crazed obsessed asshole after me."
Feeling a gentle hand land on my head I looked up to see Mr. Lee giving me comforting smile, "I know I'm nothing close to your father Ari but we will protect you and I know that this place isn't anything like you home but remember that you do have your friends here that care deeply for you."
Comforting words, and for as simple as they were they made me feel so much better so giving him a smile I got up from my seat and gave him a hug, "Thank you Mr. Lee."
Hearing him give a small laugh he hugged me back, "Your very welcome Ari."
Releasing him I gave him one last smile and headed back out to the living room, but this time I joined my friends in their games with a smile on my face.
Everything was going to be fine.
O-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
Once the night was over at Mr. Lee's we all headed home, I told Mr. Lee that there was no reason in having any of the guards escort me home since I was in a large group and he agreed. Half way home Yuna and Suyi went their separate way home which left as always left Shinwoo, Ik-han and I, "Hey Ari were you feeling alright today? You seemed a little down." Ik-han asked.
Looking over to him I shrugged, "Not really I think it's because I haven't talked to my dad in a while that's all."
Half-truth, I couldn't exactly tell him what was really bothering me besides having Shinwoo know a little about the truth was bad enough, I didn't need any other of my friends finding out about it.
"That's right you said you had some kind of argument with your dad." Shinwoo stated.
"Yeah I was expecting him to be here two months after me but instead it's turned into six months." I sighed.
Feeling an arm wrap around my shoulder I followed it up to look at Shinwoo, "Look at the bright side Ari at least you have us no matter what, we'll be there for you." He said with a wide smile, laughing I wrapped my arm around his waist and gave him a side hug which earned me a blush from the boy.
"Thanks Shinwoo." Letting him go I then gave Ik-han the same side hug, "Thanks to you to Ik-han." Seeing him blush he stuttered out, "H-h-he's right Ari we'll always be there for you."
After out little heart felt conversation Ik-han went his own way home and not long after Shinwoo and I made it to our apartment complex.
"I'll see you tomorrow Shinwoo." I said waving him goodbye but before I could get to far his voice stopped me.
"Ari!"
Stopping I turned around to look at him, "You know like I said before just call if you need anything."
Smiling to him I nodded my head and continued on to my apartment, reaching my door I unlocked it and stepped inside. Running up to my side Titan greeted me with many doggie kisses to my hand, "Hey boy let me get changed and we'll go for a walk."
Yipping happily Titan began weaving around my legs in excitement laughing I quickly changed into a pair of running pants and shrugged out of my uniform jacket which left me in my tank top. Searching around my room for a hoddie I finally found one in my closet putting it on I was ready for another walk.
Grabbing Titans leash him and I stepped out of the apartment and headed downstairs, since it was beginning to get cooler outside I decided to just walk around the front of the apartment building. Once Titan was done with his business we both made out way back inside but before we could make it in Titan stopped and began growling at something.
Looking around I saw nothing that could possibly make him start growling tugging on his leash I tried ushering him along, "There's nothing there boy, come on." Tugging again I finally got him moving.
Finally back inside the apartment I put down a fresh bowl of water for Titan and unleashed him, making my way into my bedroom I grabbed some fresh underclothes and proceeded to take a shower. By the time I got out it was nearing ten o'clock, after blow drying my hair I headed to bed before I could get to comfortable though I noticed my door was open, reluctantly getting out of bed I went to close it but before I did I called for Titan, "Come on boy it's time for bed."
After he walked into my room I closed my door and jumped back into bed, laying down I felt the comfortable weight of Titan at my feet. Reaching over to my bedside table I checked my phone one last time sighing when there was still no answer from my dad placing it back on the table I snuggled deep into my warm blankets and promptly fell asleep.
…...
…...
…...
…...
…...
Barking, barking, barking, that was all that was getting through my sleep heavy mind groaning I turned over in my bed trying to drown out the annoying noise. Coming out of my sleep I looked around my room in search of where the source of the barking was coming from then finally becoming fully aware I found the source, Titan.
I was in no mood for any of this, from the time I went to sleep my dreams had consisted of bad memories and grabbing hands, again. I tried my best to drown out his barking and sooth my restlessness and for a second I succeeded in drifting off but then Titan's barking slowly seeped back into my ears.
Groaning I woke back up to the awful sound of barking, pulling my blankets over my head I groggily yelled at my dog, "Titan shut up!"
But even still he continued on barking peeking over my blankets I looked at him, through the dimness of the room I saw him barking at my bedroom door. Thinking that something might be wrong I got out of bed grabbed my cell phone and opened my door. Running past me Titan went straight to the apartment door but this time instead of barking he stood there and growled. Frowning I peeked through my peephole and saw nothing there, confused I looked down to Titan only to see his hackles raised and him baring his teeth at the door and growling low.
Feeling the hairs at the back of my neck stand on end I once again looked through the peephole, still nothing, so nudging Titan away from the door I opened the door a small crack. Without warning Titan pushed past me, "Titan!"
Not thinking I took off after him with nothing on but my sleep pants and tank top, seeing as how he was much faster than I was I quickly lost sight of him but I could still faintly hear the click of his nails. Quickly going down a few floors I reached the bottom floor and caught sight of Titans tail end dash around a corner. Following after him I followed him down the road to the park where I once again lost sight of him but before I could go any further a sharp pain cut through my foot. Lifting my foot up I saw a piece of glass protruding from the sole of my foot.
"Shit." Gently pulling the shard out I threw the piece of glass away, "This isn't going to feel very good." I mumbled out.
Placing my foot back on the ground I put slight pressure down and hissed out in pain because of the sharp pain. I knew I needed to keep moving before I really lost Titan so I sucked it up and continued running.
Now inside the park I whistled loudly and called out to Titan, "Come on boy let's get on back. Titan!"
Silence, nothing but silence so I called him again and again with the same result continuing on I searched the park but still no Titan. Then I heard the worst sound I have ever heard, my dog crying out in pain, stopping in my tracks I felt tears prickle in my eyes because of the sound. Shaking my head I ran towards the sound of Titan, rounding a corner I finally came across Titan but the sight that greeted me scared me. Titan was in a fight with a much larger animal, this thing was bigger and bulkier than Titan by far.
This thing was unlike anything I've ever seen before with fur a pitch black and eyes a deep golden color he was bigger than any normal dog. By the looks of it I could almost say it was a wolf, shaking my head of that thought I looked around me to see if I could find something to attack the animal with.
Seeing a thick branch I quickly picked it up and ran towards the two fighting animals, swinging the branch it collided with the side of the 'wolf'. Releasing Titan the animal snarled at me, "Come on you mangy mutt."
Charging at me I was unprepared for the weight of the animal, colliding full force against me the weight of the wolf brought me down to my back. Falling hard to the ground I quickly brought up the thick branch which kept at bay the wolf's jaws away from my now exposed throat.
Kicking my legs out I tried to throw off the wolf but had no success then suddenly I blur of beige and black hit the wolf squarely on the side rolling with the force I looked up to see Titan back in action. With his surprise attack Titan had a slight advantage but the other animal quickly shook Titan off and grabbed him by his scruff, literally throwing Titan to the side the wolf slowly stalked towards me.
Raising my branch I prepared myself for whatever the wolf was about to do but before it could get to close to me Titan was suddenly standing before me protectively. Now staring the wolf down something about it seemed oddly familiar, but I couldn't exactly figure what.
The eyes. Then it hit me the eyes they were the exact vibrant gold color that he had.
"That's not possible." I whispered, every aspect of this animal reminded me of him and I couldn't figure out why.
Suddenly the wolf bared its fangs in a wolfish grin, crouching low Titan charged but it seemed the wolf was ready for him crouching low itself it forced Titan's head up baring his throat. Taking advantage of the opening the wolf latched onto Titan's throat, hearing a strangled grunt come from Titan I knew that if the wolf didn't let go soon he would either strangle Titan or crush his windpipe.
Reacting quickly I once again swung the branch hoping this time to hit the animal in the head but sadly it dodged the swing.
"Let go of him!" I yelled out, once again swinging the branch I made contact.
Releasing Titan I pushed the wolf back away from my dog, taking a quick glance back Titan laid motionless on the ground. Once again feeling the prickle of tears in my eyes I tried my best to not let a single on fall, sniffling I glared at the animal, "Come on you damn animal."
Standing from its crouching position the wolf regarded me with another wolfish smile, then I heard a very disturbing sound come deep within it throat, a rumbling laugh. Feeling the hairs at the back of my neck stand on end I took a cautious step back, this wolf was no normal animal.
"What are you?" I whispered.
Giving off one last wolfish grin the animal suddenly turned and left into the wooded area without so much as a glance back. Waiting a few seconds to see if it would return and happy that it didn't I turned to check on Titan. Falling to my knees I gently brushed my hand over his head, hearing a low whine come from him I knew that he was still with me. Letting out a relieved sigh I began looking him over to check his injuries, starting down at his haunches I could feel deep cuts and bite wounds.
Gently gliding my hand up I felt countless wounds on him when I got up to his throat my hand suddenly became warm with blood. Letting out a chocked sob I wiped my eyes clean of tears that I knew were beginning to fall.
"You're gonna be fine boy, just fine." Fumbling around for my phone I quickly dialed in Shinwoo's number, hearing it ring I waited for what felt like forever until I heard the sleepy voice of Shinwoo.
"Hello?"
"Shinwoo I need your help Titan's hurt." I blurted out quickly.
"Ari? What's wrong, are you alright?" He asked in a slight panic.
"I'm fine but Titan is hurt badly, I'm at the park down the street please I need your help." By now I was crying and I was sure Shinwoo could tell as well.
"Alright I'm on my way."
Nodding I hung up, with my adrenaline now wearing off I could now feel how cold it was out here, not only was I cold but the pain in my foot has increased and my back was beginning to hurt. I guess when the wolf brought me to the ground I didn't realize with how much force it did it with, as for my feet I'm sure they were close to being shredded since I've been running around barefoot.
After what felt like forever I heard someone yell out my name, "Ari!"
Looking up I saw Shinwoo running towards me, with only his sleep pants a gray tank top and a hoody on he looked like he literally rolled out of bed which I was sure was what he did. With a panicked stricken look upon his face he skidded to a stop next to me and looked over my tear streaked face.
"Ari what happened?" He asked kneeling down next to me.
"He was attacked," Sniffling I tried to calm my crackling voice, "He was attacked by s-s-some big dog he's hurt bad Shinwoo." I said with a shiver to my voice.
Shrugging out of his jacket he draped it over my shivering form, "Ari look at me."
Doing as he asked Shinwoo grabbed hold of my chin gently and lifted, pulling away I questioned, "What are you doing I'm fine."
Shaking his head he said, "You're not you have deep scratches on your shoulders Ari, jeez what happened."
Confused as to what he was saying I reached a hand up to brush my fingers over my shoulder, wincing at the sudden sting I pulled my hand away looking down I saw blood. "Oh."
Mentally shaking myself I went back to the more important issue, "Like I said Shinwoo I'm fine but he isn't." I said motioning to Titan.
Kneeling next to me Shinwoo ran his hands over Titan in the same manner I did just minutes ago, "Alright Ari I'm gonna call Mr. Lee because I can't do anything here, and I don't want to move him OK."
Nodding I leant over Titan and whispered little nothings to him in hopes of keeping him awake, hearing the dull thump of his tail hitting the ground made me smile, he's still with me. Hearing a phone click shut I looked up to Shinwoo, "Mr. Lee will be here soon alright, now tell me what happened Ari."
Sniffling I sat back up, "I don't know he was barking at my front door so I opened it to see if there was anything there and when I did he ran out, next thing I know we're here and he's fighting with this giant wolf." I said while brushing my fingers through Titan's fur, "He was acting odd when I took him out for a walk when I got home barking at nothing, I guess it was that wolf."
Rolling my shoulders I tried to get the stiffness out that I could feel was beginning to set in, also feeling my legs begin to tighten up I tried to stand and stretch them out but I didn't get far due to the pain. Hissing I nearly fell to the ground because my feet couldn't hold me, "Ari!"
Feeling Shinwoo grab onto my elbows he gently set me back on the ground," I'm fine, I'm fine." I tried to reassure.
"No you're not fine let me see your legs." He said a little panicky, kneeling down by my feet he lifted my left foot gently by the ankle.
"Shinwoo don't."
But it was too late by the look on his face I knew he saw how bad my foot was, "Oh Ari, why didn't you tell me you were hurt this bad."
Before I could say anything to him a shout of our names came from behind us, turning we saw that Mr. Lee and Adjussi had arrived. Standing from his spot Shinwoo met them half way, "Shinwoo what's happened?" I heard Mr. Lee say.
"Ari's hurt and so is Titan." Shinwoo said leading Mr. Lee and Adjussi back to Titan and me.
"I said I'm fine it's Titan that's hurt badly." I ground out, I was in no way all that concerned about me I was more worried about Titan.
Kneeling next to me Mr. Lee tried to look me over, before he could brush his fingers over the scratches on my shoulders I shrugged him away, "I said I'm fine Mr. Lee, just a few cuts and bruises please check on Titan." I nearly begged.
"He's being checked over right now see," He said gesturing behind me looking over my shoulder I saw Adjussi looking Titan over but before he could even touch him Titan snapped his jaws at Adjussi's hand.
"Hey!" Adjussi yelled out angrily.
Reaching over I brushed my hand over Titan's head, "Easy boy he's just trying to help." I soothed but no matter how calmly I tried to talk to him he began to growl at Adjussi as if he didn't trust him. Frowning I cooed to him in hopes of calming him, luckily it worked just enough for Adjussi to check him over thoroughly.
"He has a few deep puncture wounds especially on his neck, we need to patch him up quickly." Adjussi said to Mr. Lee.
"Alright go get the car started I'll carry him there, Shinwoo help Ari to the car."
With that said everyone began to move, Adjussi left for the car and Mr. Lee gently picked up Titan thankfully he didn't snap at my principle like he did Adjussi. Then there was me trying to stand up, before I could get to far up I was swept off my feet by two strong arms. Gasping I wrapped my arms around Shinwoo's neck in fright, "A little warning next time and I could walk you know." I said irritably.
Looking at me he gave a small smile, "Not with how your feet look you not."
Coming upon the car I saw Mr. Lee place gently place Titan in the back seat of the car right on top of a towel, next was Shinwoo putting me in the back seat. Once seated I scooted as close to Titan as possible lifting his large head I placed it gently on my lap, "You're going to be fine my sweet love." I whispered to him.
Hearing three doors shut I looked back up to see that the other three were seated and ready to go, licking my dry lips I said to the two adults, "Thank you for coming Mr. Lee, Adjussi," Reaching over to grab onto Shinwoo's hand I smiled to him, "you to Shinwoo thank you."
Blushing the boy tried to stutter something out but the voice of Mr. Lee stopped him, "You only ever need to call Ari." Looking up to the rearview mirror I saw Mr. Lee smiling, after giving a smile back I leaned over Titan in a comforting hug.
Safe, we're safe boy.
Well like always hoped you enjoyed.
Please, please review I enjoy them :)
