Guardian Angel
Chapter 9-The wound
There was no opinion like running. She wasn't going to abandon him. She jumped out of the car and attacked to her nearest threat. She kicked him in his back, wrapped her arm around his neck and pressured. As she felt the man fading away under her grip she turned her eyes on Sam and saw him trying to stand up. Before any time pass she felt someone hitting her in her face. She fall in the ground and felt her knees hitting the hard sidewalk. She felt the warm blood running down her legs. When she opened her eyes again she saw Sam pushing the man against his car and punching him in the face. Again… and again.
The car was running in a crazy speed.
«What the hell was that Sam?» She shouted to him.
«I told you to run» He shouted back.
«You almost killed that guy» The confusion and shock in her eyes was unmistakable.
«And you almost got yourself killed » He screamed hitting his fist at the steering wheel.
He was full of anger. Seeing that man hitting Emily was something. But seeing him pointing a gun at her… seeing her lying at the ground having no idea that someone was ready to shoot her… that started a fire inside him. He stood up and run to the man. He fell on him causing the gun to slip away. He stood up fast, grabbed the confused man by the collar and pushed him against his car. He had lost his logic. He had lost his mind. He hit him. Once. Twice. He knew he had to stop. He knew but he couldn't. He punched him again. Stop… He shouted to himself but he didn't. He was ready to hit him again when he felt someone grapping his arm. He saw Emily saying something to him. He couldn't hear her. He was too dizzy to hear anything. He was too dizzy to understand anything. He loosen his grip and the man fall on the ground bleeding, almost unconscious.
The car slowed down. They were close to home. They were away. They were safe.
Emily was looking at Sam. Sam was looking at the road. Both lost in their thoughts.
«You are bleeding» Emily said as soon as she saw the open wound on his flank area.
Sam was trying to play it cool. He didn't want her to see him in pain.
«I am fine. » He said trying to stop himself from making a grin of pain. He parked the car in front of Emily's house and waited for her to get off the car.
When the car's door close behind her he turned the engine back on.
«Hey hey what are you doing? » She said leaning close to his window.
«I need to go home» He said trying to hide his pain
«You are not going anywhere. » She opened the car's door. «You are coming inside. » She leaned and turned the engine off. «At least until we clear your wound» She said grabbed the key's and walked towards her house.
Emily was wrapping the bandage around his body covering the deep wound as gently as possibly. Sam was in pain but Emily's presence so close to him was a distraction. A beautiful but at the same time terrible distraction. Every time her fingers touch his naked skin he could feel his heart stop beating. He could feel his mind freeze. Emily was trying not to look at him. Emily was trying so hard not to look at anything else rather than the bandage. They were too close. They were out of their comfort zone. When she finally finished she looked at him. He was looking at her lost. He was looking at her with an expression full of dreams. She smile to him shyly and moved her hair out of her face.
«You are going to be fine.» She said keeping her locked with his eyes.
«Thanks. » He said breaking their eye contact in order to find his shirt.
«Thank you too. » She was keeping her breath. «I mean for saving me» She said and took a few steps back. No she could feel that way about him. No. Not after losing Aiden. Not so soon. But her heart, her mind, her body was reacting like he was part of her life more than a few days. Her heart was acting like he was a part of herself. And she couldn't understand that. She didn't want to understand that. She just wanted all the feelings to go away.
«I did what I promised to your father I would do. » He said putting his shirt on.
«Then I guess I should thank my father. » She said with an irony in her voice.
He let a small laugh escape his lips and stood up walking towards the door.
«To be completely honest…» He said and stood at the doorstep for a few seconds before he finish his sentence. «I didn't do it for your father» He kept his eyes on hers. He wanted to run at her, grab her and kiss her. He wanted to let himself get drown by all his feelings. He wanted to let go. He wanted to follow his heart. But he couldn't. He was a guardian angel. He was…. He couldn't. And she couldn't. She had just lost the love of her life. She was vulnerable. She wouldn't love him. And that was the biggest wound he was carrying this night.
So he turn his back at her. He walked slowly to his car. He turned the engine on. And he let speed take away all of his thoughts.
I hope it was an ok chapter! :) I will be back as soon as possibly.
