tough luck - ALEJANDRO X READER

020

-

Fortunately for you, your injuries weren't all that bad, unlike Gwen who had to be taken away to join Owen and Izzy. On the other hand though, that meant you still had to compete in the next challenge.

You were quite aware of Alejandro's efforts to save you but you were still mad so you didn't give him the slightest ounce of thanks. Once you had regained the ability to stand you again kept your distance from him, still much to his confusion.

Everyone who was remaining joined Chris and Chef at the bottom of the hill for him to explain the next and final challenge.

"Team Amazon! As winners of the first challenge, you've also won this advantage for challenge number two." Chris said before gesturing to Chef who was pointing to the helmet on in his head.

"Helmets!? Great, now what?" Heather complained.

"Oh just a little something I like to call... The Bobsled of Death! Ta-da!" Chris said, everyone turned away from the lagoon and looked behind to see a whole racecourse made mostly out of scraps had been set up looking particularly unsafe.

"This one's gonna hurt!" you heard DJ's voice say above the rest of the commotion. You slumped your shoulder slightly, you did not want to get injured twice in one episode.

"Yeah... the intern who tested it will be out for... ten months is it?" Chris smiled at Chef as taller man didn't respond but instead smile back scaring you even more.

"We can't afford bobsleds, so you're gonna ride longboards in teams of two, bobsled style! Down Chef's track and into the pool" Chris explained pointing to were the course ended, into a dry empty pool.

"Each team gets three runs, fastest total time wins. Ready?" Chris said and the teams segregated to discuss which pair would be going first.

The remaining four of you in Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot came together in a circle, Noah immediately shaking his head.

"No way am I going first." he said leaving you, Tyler and Alejandro, you were next to speak up.

"I'm still a bit dizzy, so..." you said as a believable excuse leaving Alejandro and Tyler to pair up.

"Ok, you and Noah can go together next round." Alejandro said looking at the two of you before his eyes locked on to yours "are you sure you'll be okay (Y/N)?"

Your eyes slightly glared at his as you scoffed before replying harshly, "I'll be fine."

You noticed his expression falter for a split second at your words before he quickly smiled and nodded, you wondered if you were just seeing things with the way he changed his expression in the blink of an eye. It didn't really matter as he and Tyler walked off to go and collect their longboards and reach the start line.

Noah, you, Heather and Courtney stood by the side of the pool while Chef and Chris laid in sun loungers with a glass in each of their hands.

"Isn't this better than being mad? So we have to wait for a cash influx before we jet, make the interns fill the pool and it's a paid vacation bro!" Chris said before him and Chef clinked glasses together.

As if they'll be getting a cash influx anytime soon...

Your thoughts were interrupted when you heard another voice coming from the recovery house that was near the pool. Turning your head you saw Owen running towards the group at full speed.

"Hey! Wait up! Doc says I'm okay to compete!" he said with his hands in the air, before making it to you and Noah he tripped and ended up sliding across the ground.
