"Guys come on!" Deciding that's a good idea, we all run to the room where the others wait anxiously. I'm slower than usual due to my ankle, but we make it nonetheless. Once in the room, we slam the door, pushing the couch in front of it and we sit on the floor.
As I'm sliding down the wall, I can hear Aidan start laughing...fucking maniac that one.
"Why are you laughing this time?" Ah Tyler, one day you'll learn it's better not to question anything blondy does.
"It's like we're in a zombie movie."
"And that's supposed to be funny?"
"Yeah!"
"Is he insane or something."
"Well duh. Thought that was obvious." Tyler glares at me as I speak, well that is before he notices my cuts again to which his eyes soften and he begins shuffling around a bit.
Aidan finally notices Ashlyn's arm, " Hm? Your arm is scratched up? I thought I got you out of the way in time?" Aww young love...gross (*cough* hypocrite *cough*)
"...You did. I think this happened at the Sorrel weed house."
Tyler shoots up, well shit. I try and reach for him, "Tyler wait-" he brushes me off, already too worked up. God damnit.
"You mean you knew it was real and didn't think to mention it to any of us?"
"Hey Tyler, it's not all her fault. Please calm down-" my words fall on deaf ears as Ashlyn starts speaking, I can see her patience snapping. Lovely 🙄
"I didn't tell anyone because I didn't think it was real- did Yn say anything either? No!" Wow way to throw me under the bus. "And right now isn't a good time to talk about it, we should be coming up with a plan or-"
"And why should we listen to anything you say? This is all probably your fault in the first place."
"Alright, fine. I get where you're coming from, maybe I should have said something." Ashlyn stands up, meeting Tyler's gaze head on. Now this is just great isn't it. "And if blaming me helps you deal with the situation better, so be it." She grabs his sleeve, oh yeahhhhhh get him girl! Put him in his place! Be the power!
...what? I may love him- no, that isn't right- he may be my best friend but girls support girls. Plus he wasssss kind of a dick.
"Hey what are you-"
"But if you aren't going to make yourself useful, make yourself scarce. Playing the blame game and figuring out what's going on can come after we are safe enough to talk it out." The others all stare wide eyed, mouths hanging open...hehe go girl, I hold back a snicker as my best friend is continued to be scolded by Ashlyn. God she's such a mom, a hot mom- like that one kid in middle school whose life got ruined because his mom was smokin' hot.
"The facts are those creatures can kill us at any moment. Instead of arguing, our time is better spent coming up with a plan." Oh she's still going. Finally, she lets a stunned tyler go, "so unless you are going to help me do that, keep your trap shut and don't cause trouble."
I'm sorry, I can't hold back any longer. "WOOOH GO GIRL! YOU TELL HIM! GIRL FUCKING POWER!"
The attention is now on me, Ashlyn, is confused and clearly shy as she blushes deeply, Tyler looks deeply betrayed, like I just kicked his puppy. I cough embarrassed, "what?"
"Well that was unexpected." Thank you Aidan.
"And you need to stop taking this so lightly!" Hehe
"Aye, aye!"
"We need weapons and materials, so let's gather up everything in the motel room and sort through what we can use.
Soon, Ashlyn is being cleaned and patched up by Ben, and Tyler is shuffling over to me. I feel his hand grab my hard "Hey what-"
"Shh, I gotta clean you up ok." His voice is so soft, softer than I have ever heard before. Looking into his eyes, they are glazed, and sad. Aww he looks like a little puppy. So cute. No- no! Knock it off.
I nod slowly as he reaches for some supplies. I wince as he dabs the cuts on my cheek with a cloth, a mumbled sorry leaving his lips. His brows are furrowed, focused as he applies plaster to the red marks. God he's so adorable. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME! NO YN NO! Down dog down!
"There all done." His voice startles me from my thoughts. He leans down, making quick work of my ankle before looking back up to my face. Our eyes meet, his hand comes back to my cheek, I'm pretty sure I stop breathing as my eyes fall to his lips. He coughs, pulling back. "I'm gonna go- uh- help. He points behind him, standing up and walking off awkwardly.
Sighing, I let my head fall against the wall, my eyes shutting. Fuck. My. Life. ————— Ok guys. I want to thoroughly thank everyone who supported me and left kind messages.

Ok ok question of the day-
What's your favorite book- (like published not Wattpad)
I can't decide between ACOTAR and Fourthwing or the newest contender- Shatter me because I'm currently on book 2- Unravel me- mainly because of
Oh ok I have one last thing to say/question-
Would you guys read and give honest, constructive criticism on my book I'm working on if I started posting it here? It's a fantasy/romantasy- there is a horrible summary on my public post that says a bit more- and, as it explains the book is in very early stages and the summary will change and improve I promise.
