" You taught me the courage of stars before you left
How light carries on endlessly, even after death
With shortness of breath, you explained the infinite.
How rare and beautiful it is to even exist."
CHAPTER TWENTY~SEVEN.
"You shot me in the ass!!" Wesley shrills, bug eyed.
"I'm sorry! You came out of nowhere!" Panic flashes in Teddy's eyes.
"My ass has an arrow in it!"
"Wesley, are you high?" I inquire, bending down next to him.
"Th-that's besides the point, get this arrow out of my butt!"
Bryson shakes his head violently, "We can't pull it out, you'll probably bleed to death."
I hiss, "It doesn't look too far in there."
"That's what she said..." Teddy whispers.
We all stare at Teddy.
"I'm sorry, you said it!" He squeaks.
I roll my eyes, "How far is the closest hospital?"
"Almost two hours away." Bryson informs me.
I think for a moment, "Okay... can you two pick him up?"
"I can try, but I can barely hold my own weight still." Teddy tells me.
I nod, "Okay, then Bryson and I will pick him up, but we need you to try and help."
We all grab Wesley, hoisting him up and into the cabin.
"Guys I don't have him!" Teddy shouts at us, dropping Wesley to the wood floor.
Bryson and I stumble to the ground, groaning.
"M-my face!" Wesley mumbles, obviously in pain.
We take a moment to recover from the fall. Once we gain our composure, we lift Wesley and lay him down on the couch, butt up.
"Hows your face?" I ask, kneeling next to him.
"My ass hurts." He retorts.
"Yeah I got that. I was asking about your face!" I seethe back.
"Well what do you want me to say? Fucking Teddy dropped me, and my face hit the damn hardwood floor."
"Do you want me to get the arrow out of your butt? Or do you want to keep saying rude-ass things like that?" I inquire with raised eyebrows. He opens his mouth to say something, but quickly shuts it and glares at me. "That's what I thought." I whip my phone out to research how to take an arrow outta someone's butt, the things I do for these boys.
After about twenty minutes of research, we gather the needed supplies and pile them onto the coffee table beside me. "Okay..." I huff. Reaching to grab the rubbing alcohol and cotton pads, I knock a few of the items off the table from my hands trembling.
Teddy limps out of the kitchen with a bottle of whiskey in hand. He kneels down and pours a small amount into a glass for Wesley, he hands the glass to him, but instead, he takes the bottle and chugs half of it down.
