Chapter 9

[recap]

"Don't worry. Oh and my little brother's name is Tommy." I said. "Why are you sitting here, are you feeling nauseous or something?" I asked her with concern in my eyes.

"No, I'm just waiting for Tommy and Kim. I think Tommy went to go get the first aid kit and I don't really know where Kim went. She just told me to come here and that she will clean the scrapes I got from the wolf-thing, I don't really know what it was." She said and I felt a little guilty for being the one that tackled her.

"I'll help you when Tommy brings the kit. I wonder where he is?" I said more to myself than her and she just nodded her head.

After a few more minutes of waiting Tommy finally arrived and I helped her to clean the wounds and applying plasters on both her arms. I felt so bad, she looked at me with pain in her eyes and they also started to look a little glassy meaning she wanted to cry. I felt like such a monster and did the only thing I could think of to comfort her...

---------------------Skyler's POV--------------------------

When Tommy arrives Xavier opens the kit and start cleaning the wounds on my arms. I am in so much pain at the moment, but I have to hold it in, I can not start crying with him near me I will just embarrass myself even more and I don't want that. I want him to think that I'm strong, but I can feel the tears building up in my eyes and I just can't  handel it anymore, I am so surprised at what he does then....

He hugs me, very tight as if to comfort me and to confirm to himself that everything's going to be alright. And then I surprised myself by hugging him back, this is exactly what I need right now. Someone who cares about my feelings and my emotions and doesn't mind to hug me when I'm in pain.. A gentleman like Xavier.

----------------------Xavier's POV-------------------------

I hug her, as tight as I can without hurting her or causing her any more pain. While i am hugging her, I can feel how she starts to calm down and to relax at my touch. Then she does something that really surprises me. She actually hugs me back, it is so nice to feel her tiny little arms go around my neck and hug me like there is no tomorrow. She rests her little head on my shoulder and starts to crying softly, but not because of the pain she's feeling, but because she wants to let her feelings go.

I move my hand up and down her back while comforting her and whispering sweet things  in her ear like 'it will be okay' and 'don't worry'. She just holds onto me and I have to admit, l kind of enjoy it but it would have been better under different circumstances.  Her crying causes me a little pain and I can not understand why because I have no connections towards her, but I just dissmised it.

We stand like that for a while and then I notice her snoring softly, so cute. I pick her up and carry her to the room next to mine, I don't know why but for some reason I want to keep her close to me to, so thst i can protect her form the dangers outside.

I am laying her down on her bed as she starts moving slightly. I was about to leave when her little voice caught my attention.

"Please don't leave, I'm scared." She say me and I feel my heart sink to my shoes, because I'm the one who scared her and now she will always be scared to come here. But I am also flattered that she asked me to stay, at least now I will be able to protect her better.

---------------------Skyler's POV--------------------------

While he was hugging me I started to crying but not because of sadness it was just feeling like I have  had mountain on my shoulders and I just can't carry it anymore. He starts rubbing my back and whispering soothing words into my ear while I rest my head on his shoulder and start falling asleep there in the bathroom, of all places.
