We're A Team | Cube SMP

Chapter Nine

Jordanne's POV

I just needed some air. As close as I could get to silence. But then, an explosion, and then some screams. Afraid someone was hurt, I ran towards the sound with Ricardo trailing behind me.

A few blocks down reached the sight of the screams. The Wither was gone, but I couldn't say the same for the person. She was lying still on the ground, not moving, even to breathe.

I felt sick to my stomach and got out of there as fast as I could and ended up in a different alleyway.

Something touched my shoulder, and my initial reaction was to turn around, throw my fist up in the air ready for a punch, and almost throw my knife at them. I turned around to meet eyes with Tomahawk.

"Holy damn," he said, backing up a little. "Watch where you have your knife."

"You don't just sneak up on a scared person," I raised my voice at him.

He slowly nodded. "I can respect that. But everyone is worried about you, it's not like you to just walk away."

"I didn't walk away," I sighed. "I just, needed some air. Some peace, you know?"

"Well, do you think you're ready to come back?" He asked.

I looked towards Ricardo. "Yeah, I think so."

He nodded and we all quickly walked back towards the store.

...

"Found her," Tomahawk announced as we walked in. "She almost killed me, but she's here."

I stayed quiet as questions were asked, which he answered most of them.

"I think I'm going to go to the back, I just need some time." I said and started walking towards the back. Lilly started walking towards me. "Alone, please." She nodded and started talking to Bayani.

Dylan stood up as well. I repeated the same to Dylan, but he wouldn't budge. Finally I gave in and let him follow me.

I sat by an empty cardboard box. "How's your arm?" I asked.

He chuckled. "Painful, but bearable. I could be a lot worse."

"You shouldn't of gotten that."

"Oh, really, it's not that bad. It jus--"

I cut him off. "I mean you shouldn't have protected me. I should be the one with the messed up arm, not going outside and making everyone worried."

He sighed. "I don't regret it, I would do it again. Besides, just some blood. I'm not dead."

"I feel really, really bad about this whole thing."

He scooted closer to me. "Don't be, it's fine." He pulled me into a hug. "Okay?"

I nodded. "You're a really good friend."

We sat like that for a while before the unmistakeable voice of the one and only Graser10 said something.

"Yo lovebirds, we're making plans, it would be great if you'd join us."

"Graser," Stacy scolded. "Let them be."

We laughed at the comment.

He looked at me. "Do you think you're okay?"

I nodded and we got up and walked to the front of the store were everyone was gathered around the counter, discussing battle plans.

"We're not going to get anywhere without food," Stacy said. "So I say, we find some other stores, stock up, and then go. Also, we don't all have weapons."

"I agree with Stacy," Dylan said. "But we need more supplies than food. What happens if one of us gets hurt by a Wither? We'll need medical supplies and maybe a person on that duty."

Everybody turned to Stacy. "What?" She asked. "You really think I can do medical stuff?"

"You're more capable than us," H said.

"The Wither is probably more capable than me!" She exclaimed.

"I'm pretty sure Chubby wouldn't be good at taking care of people," Tomahawk said. "I honestly think he's planning world domination along with Swirly." We laughed a bit. "I'm serious."

Graser cleared his throat. "Alright, back to business."

Parker gasped. "Graser saying business? Guys, this is big."

All he got was a glare from Graser. "If we're done making jokes, I have positions made. Save objections until the end." He said. "Okay, Stacy, you have medical duty. You and Parker can switch shifts." Stacy and Parker nodded. "Lilly, you, me, H, and Tomahawk can be the look outs during the day. And finally, Dylan, you, Bayani, and Jordanne are the team for nights. Any objections?"

I raised my hand. "Uh, first off, Bayani and I? A team? Are you sure about this?"

He smiled. "Yes, one hundred percent." He turned back to the group. "Anybody else?" Nobody else spoke up.
