Broken

Chapter 10

My shoulder is screaming with pain by the time I wake up. I'm no longer sideways on the floor, but uprighted as if nothing happened. My eyes take a while to adjust to the blinding white lights, but when they do, someone is hovering over me.
I yelp and jerk myself backwards. The chair threatens to topple over again, but he looks at me with surprise and catches the chair with one hand easily. His other hand is holding a bloodied cloth, tending to my bullet wound. The soldier.
"You," I mutter in surprise. "I have a name you know," he says, obviously agitated by something. "Sorry, we haven't really had time for introductions," I seethe through my teeth.
"I'm Skylar, nicknamed Sky. I'm an Aquarius, and I enjoy sunsets and long walks on the beach. Anything else I forgot to mention? Oh, right. I'm in the wrong time, in God knows where, tied to a chair with a random stranger cleaning my bullet wound and trying to make introductions. That about sums me up. What about you?"
He laughs, and for some unknown reason I grin back. But I quickly replace it with a scowl before he has time to reply. "Well, I'm Jack. I'm a Pisces, and I hate my job, life, and Sergeant Chapman. Really, the only break from this total waste of a life is, well, you." he blushes, but quickly clears his throat and returns to soaking my shoulder with mystery fluid.
He acts as though he never said anything, but I see it in his eyes that he meant every word. I think about it for a minute. Do I...do I feel that way too? Suddenly, Toby's face flashes in my mind.
No. That's ridiculous. Of course I don't like Jack. My one true love is-was-with Toby. I have to stop sitting here playing love struck schoolgirl and get out of here. But then, something hits me. Maybe that's just it. Maybe Jack is my ticket. It's a horrible thought, really, but I think that Jack may be more helpful than just cleaning out my bullet wound...

Dun dun dunnnn! Hehehehe. Sorry you guys had to wait so long. There was school. And snow. LOTS of snow. And I was busy. Sorry, I'll try to update more!

And, why yes that was a Supernatural quote during the description of Skylar. SUPERWHOLOCK:GUILTY. 😂
