Big Bad Wolfie
Chapter 53: 52 - Trust
"Okay well, now what the h3ll are we gonna do?" Stephan spoke up after everyone calmed down and I was finished with that disgusting blood.
"We've got a man down, wounds of our own to heal, and a bunch of hybrids after us on their home turf. This whole thing is going to s**t," he shook his head.
"Did you expect it to be easy?" I raised an eyebrow.
"No, of course not," he frowned at me.
I chuckled, "Well at least it's going better than I expected."
He looked at me incredulously. "How in the h3ll —"
"No one's dead yet," I shrugged.
Cali snorted, "Yeah, no matter how hard you tried to change that," she commented snidely about Wolfie and I's tiff.
I frowned deeply.
She looked behind me at the sleeping Wolfie, and I felt my blood starting to boil at the mear sight of her looking at him in such a vulnerable position.
Then I immediately stuffed it down, because I'm the one that put him there in the first place.
I have no right to be upset.
It's my fault we're a man down. . .
"Hey! What the h3ll have you done on this trip? Nothing!" Rose snapped at Cali.
"Yeah, you can't be mad at Maria, she's practically been carrying this whole team the entire trip," Brandon glared at her.
But that doesn't mean I'll stop my friends from going at her.
"Could you three stop it with your little cat fight and help me move him to the stream?" Happy interrupted their glaring contest.
I took a step forward.
He put his arm up. "Sorry Maria," he looked at me sympathetically. "I think you need to take a little bit of a breather before you help him."
My heart dropped into my stomach.
"I have been taking a breather," I jumped to explain. "I'm fine now. I-I'm not gonna do anything. I promise."
"There's still a lot of blood, Maria —"
"I've cooled off, I can handle it."
"Listen, I made sure he gave you your space after he did this to you, now I'm doing it for him. Ask someone else to help," He said sternly.
My nerves spiked all over again, but this time, it wasn't because of a threat. I became aware, all over again, of what I've done, and it made me ring my hands together and hold back tears.
A huge lump formed in my throat and I got antsy, because all I want to do is help him.
Fix what I've done.
Unf*ck up what I've f*cked up.
But Happy won't let me.
I glared at him.
Cali chuckled, "So much for having cooled down."
I switched my glare to her. I'm pretty sure I felt my eye twitch.
Rose came to my defense, as always, "Listen you b**ch, I don't know what your deal is, but if you don't stop making off the shoulder comments, I'm gonna —"
"I'll help you Zach," Cali cut Rose off with a stupid smile.
"Um, no you will not," I raised my eyebrows at her.
"I'll help," Brandon stepped up to Wolfie's unconscious body.
Stephan bent down too to help carry him over to the stream.
"One, two, three." They all grunted as Happy finished the countdown and they lifted.
"Holy s**t, what does this guy eat?" Stephan groaned as they moved him.
They moved him the last few feet and set him on the edge of the creek.
Happy got to work on the rest of Wolfie's wounds, considering he himself didn't have anything too pressing.
