Chapter 14: ((562) WORDS)

Ian drove home extra carefully on the street and as fast as he could in the desert, probably because of me telling him what happened inside the healing center. I only did it to make sure he was careful.

"I need to know," He said when we arrived home. "Who did it?"

"Did what," I asked, hoping he wasn't inferring what I thought he was.

"Who broke your finger," He asked.

"I said I wouldn't tell and he was reluctant to do it," I said, trying not to have Ian realize it was Kyle. "Besides, he didn't seem to thrilled that I bursted into his room just for that. Also, he apologized for doing it! I told him to and he apologized! Who apologizes for doing what someone asks them to?"

"It was Kyle, wasn't it," He asked, shocking me. "Bring the supplies to Doc and Candy. I need to go talk to Kyle."

"Don't be mad at him," I almost begged. "He was the only person I could think of that would do it and-"

"Just go to Doc and Candy," Ian said quickly walking up the tunnel.

I sighed. I didn't mean for Ian to figure it out because I could see in Kyle's eyes that he was weary to hurt me, as if it was a trap to get him in trouble. Hopefully, Ian was only going to thank him for hurting me when he couldn't and not hurt him for helping me. Why did I care so much, he tried to kill me!

"What did you get," Candy asked as I walked in.

"A bunch of different splints and knowledge," I smiled. "Cut it open, spray it with a bunch of Heal and put a splint on it."

"Wanda," Mel called over. "Jared was working in the field and Kyle looked upset. When he asked what happened Kyle said he hurt you. What did Kyle do?"

"I ASKED him to break my finger," I sighed. "Ian wouldn't do it and I knew Jared would be in here with you. Yes, he hurt me, but he HELPED me! Kyle's not my favorite person, but he's become a lot nicer since Sunny's been here. I just-"

"I'm sorry," Kyle said walking in. "Ian told me he asked and you didn't say my name, but he knew. Wanda, I didn't mean to hurt you! Well I did, but only because you asked me to! Please for-"

"I know," I said smiling. "You did what I asked and helped Mel. I'm sorry if Ian was hard on you, I told him not to be mad at you and-"

"I thanked him," Ian said walking in. "I hate that he hurt you, but he helped you when I couldn't. I don't like that you went to my brother to hurt you when he tried to kill you, but he did the only thing to help you that I can't do because I lo-"

"Why couldn't you do it," Mel asked. "I mean sometimes you need to hurt the people you love to help them. Jared hurt me when Wanda was in my body, but did he only did it because we needed him to."

"Kyle, I heard what happened," Jeb said walking in. "Thank you, but make sure you tell me so I don't hear it from the kid."

A/N: Sorry it's short, wanted to get it up. I'll update it Sunday no matter how many reviews.
