Not what we had planned (G/T)

Chapter 10: Aftereffects

Callie's POV:
Me and the others sat in our bedroom in the house. We were all terrified of the giants outside the house. I had taken my shirt off as I examined the wounds on my side and back from Jake's huge fingernails. "This wound looks very bad." Hyun-a said. "If you don't do something about it, it could get infected or worse...you could bleed to death." I sighed, touching my back, my hand all bloody. "I am not going to ask the giants for help...especially Jake. He is the one, who caused this." I protested. "If you're not going to tell them, I will." Hyun-a said. "Don't....I don't want to come out of that house." I said, grabbing my blanket. "We won't have to..." She insisted. "How exactly?" I asked. "I have an idea.

Hyun-a's POV:
I walked out to the house's balcony and took a deep breaths. "Hello?" I called out. "What is it?" I heard one of the giants ask. "One of my friends, she needs her wound taken care of." I answered. "Which one?" The giant asked another question. "Callie."

Jake's POV:
I was laying on my bed, when I heard the oldest of the humans call out to me and my brothers. "What is it?" I asked, slightly annoyed. "One of my friends, she needs her wound taken care or." The human answered. "Which one?" I asked her. "Callie." My punishment was intended to scare the humans...not wound them to this extend. Did I actually wound the girl?
I carefully stood up from my bed and walked towards the bathroom. I carefully grabbed a bottle containing a special cream, that had healing properties and poured it onto a small rock, as it was the only thing nearby. I then carefully placed it in my palm and walked towards the dollhouse, kneeling down.

Callie's POV:
I was sitting on my bed, when I heard a tap on one of the windows. I carefully walked towards the window and opened it. "Here." A voice spoke as I saw a huge hand in front of the window. "Take it." I looked at the strange cream in the huge hand, hesitant. "It's for your wounds." The voice said. I carefully approached the hand and took the rock the cream was on. "What is this?" I asked. "It's a special kind of cream. It has healing properties. Put it on, it will help." I obliged as I took the cream inside and took off my shirt and bra, leaving me bareback. I carefully began to apply the strange cream onto my back and side. Have to admit, it felt very soothing and refreshing. As I was busy applying it to my skin, I felt the same deep voice say: "You're very....beautiful, Callie." Causing me to freeze. "Are you watching me or something?" I asked. "Yeah." I instantly put my shirt back on. "Stop looking." I said. "Why?" He asked. "What do you mean why?" I asked, getting slightly frustrated. "Sorry...didn't mean to offend you in any kind of way." The voice then spoke. I spoke no word as I sat on my bed looking down at my feet.

Jake's POV:
That was an awkward conversation. I used the small window to look inside the house and watched as Callie sat on her bed, awkwardly looking down at her feet. Perhaps I should give her some space. I carefully got up and went back to my bed. "How did it go?" Alan asked. "Awkwardly...you can say." I answered, lying my head on the pillow. "W-what do you mean 'awkwardly'?" He asked, sitting down on my bed. "I-i...just had to make things awkward by looking at her when she was applying the cream to her wound." I said, slapping myself. "Oh my god..." Alan sighed, facepalming. "That really wasn't the right move..." He spoke. "I-ii...knoww...I did apologize though." I answered. "That's good, I guess...perhaps things could workout between you and her." Maybe, maybe things could. Perhaps, her and I could be friends? Or possibly more? Ok Jake...you're going a little too far there, let's just focus on becoming friends first.
I had barely managed to lie down, when Peter coughed to get our attention: "Umm...guys....maybe we should check on the girls?" Check on them? What does he mean by that? "What do you mean?" Henry asked. "They have been inside the house for a while now...since Jake's whole punishment session." Peter answered. "I-i don't think they'd want to be around as at the moment. I think we should give them a little more space." Alan suggested. "But they can't really sit in than house forever now, can they?" I butted in. "I doubt they'd stay inside forever, but we have to make them see, that they can truly trust us." My oldest brother answered. He had a point. As much as I hated waiting, I knew I had to be patient. Oh, Callie...I really hope I didn't scare you too much....

Callie's POV:
"Is something wrong?" Hyun'a asked as she walked towards my bed. "N-no....why would anything be wrong?" I denied. "I can tell you're lying." She said, folding her arms. "I promise, I won't judge, you can tell me..." She said, putting her hand on my shoulder. I guess it was pointless to deny, you can never lie to Hyun-a. She'll figure it out sooner or later. "I-i...just, can't help, but think about Jake..."I mumbled. "W-what do you mean?" My friend asked. "F-first he acts like a complete jerk, then he saves my life, then he goes on a punishment rampage and now he helps treat my wounds and acts all nice......I don't understand him." I complained, looking down at my feet. "H-he definitely is a little mysterious." Hyun-a agreed. "Facts are, that he definitely cares about you....in his own confusing way." Meghan said, sitting on the floor. "Umm...girls...." Mia started. "W-we can't stay hidden in this house forever, can we?" Soon, everyone turned to face her. "We'll probably have to face the giants at some point." She continued, shrugging her shoulders. "I am not going out there and facing Henry." Meghan complained. "That guy scares the daylight out of me. Pluus...he is probably furious at me for trying to escape." She had a point...they were all probably very angry, they just didn't show it the way Jake did. "I am definitely not going to face Dylan anytime soon." Astrid said. "Even if it means no more soft melodies sang by him?" I said with a slight smirk. "That could have easily been a tactic to gain my trust...so he'd do something bad later on." Astrid answered. "I-i am pretty sure Alan is super disappointed in me.... " Hyun-a sighed. "Why do we care whether the giants are disappointed or not again?" I butted in, rolling my eyes. "Disappointment can lead to anger." Hyun-a shrugged. "And unfortunately...we can't avoid facing them forever..."
