Hard To Get

Chapter 7- I Think You're Worth It

Chapter 7

Xander's POV

I rushed Mia in my room. Her ankle was dripping blood, all over the place. Too much blood was rushing out of her system, and it made me anxious. I never should've left her outside, I should've just waited for her to go. How fucking stupid of me. I will regret this for weeks or months, probably.

I lied her down on my bed, then I took my shirt off then wrapped it up her ankle and placed pressure on it. I need to find the first aid in my bathroom and I just can't leave it there - squirting blood. Well, not squirting that sounds exaggerated already.

I ran to the bathroom and opened the closets on the left side behind the door. I found the wooden box with a cross symbol on it. I rushed back to my room opening it and finding the right supplies. I pulled out the disinfectant, ointment, and the gauze to wrap it up. I poured a little disinfectant on a cotton then slowly dabbed it along the cut. I did it slowly, because what if she wakes up like this? I don't want her to wake up in pain, I cared for her. As I was putting the ointment, Flynn came in. My eyes landed on him for a second and I went back to Mia's cut.

"How is she?" He asked.

"She'll be okay. I think she just passed out because of too much blood loss." I stated, and wrapped the gauze around her ankle.

"Thank God." He said, then I nodded in response. "You seem to care for her that much. Is there something going on between you two that you are not telling me?" He added, he sounded like my father.

"There is nothing between us. I just..." I trailed off.

"Like her?" He said. There is something going on in me that tells me that Flynn finished my sentence and something on the other hand, tell me that I don't. "You know, girls like her and Juliette can be so hard to find these days."

"How are you sure about it?" I asked him with confusion taking over my eyes.

"Look at her." He pointed out Mia. "Beautiful, inside and out. I assume you know that. You two talked the whole night when I thought you were going to get laid."

I was about to tell something but he cut me off, again.

"You know, you have to think about her - deeply. Don't think that I am forcing you to like her just because I said she's beautiful in and out. But it's your choice. I mean, there are more surprises in her than what you'll see in Tiffany. Think about it man, you deserve a girl like her. As long as you don't hurt her. Because if you do.." He trailed off then chuckled, "My girl will land a hundred hurting words in your face."

"Your girl? Juliette?"

"That's her."

"You're together and you just met her hours ago?"

"No, but I know she will." We both chuckled and we fist bumped. He then said goodbye and went home. And I was left in my room, with a sleeping Mia.

I pulled a chair out and placed it beside my bed - facing Mia. I crossed my arms and looked at her. She was so beautiful, pieces of her auburn hair was covering her eyes. I went closer to tuck it in her ears. My fingers slowly pushed her hair aside then successfully tucking it behind her ears. I've been waiting for years to do this to a girl. I always find it stupid in movies, but I never knew it could be so nice to do it to a girl. Pushing her hair away from her face and revealing how beautiful she is.

I suddenly feel cold and noticed that I have no shirt on - it was wrapped in Mia's ankle a while ago. So I grabbed a shirt from my closet and wore it. I sat beside Mia, all through the night. I just stared at her. Thinking about what Flynn said earlier. Is she really worth it for me? What if I'll like her and she won't see the same way? This girl is different. I can't feel her falling for my charm and flirt everytime I do. But if I do it to other women, they fall easily. She's very different.
