My southern county boy

Chapter 12

Calvin's POV:
It was a large burlap bag with bright red writing across the front labeled Blue Line Minerals. All different kinds of sounds were escaping through the bag. It was held shut by a zip tie and I pulled it to try and break it but came to realize this action would cause excruciating pain in my left arm. I grabbed my knife that I had kept on my belt and sliced the zip tie fairly easily with the sharp blade. A stench punched me in the face as the seal of the bag was broken. It's not like I didn't deserve it though. Looking past the stench i reached in and pulled out a tiny little puppy with a whole lot of wrinkles and floppy ears. He seemed to be in good health so I set him on the grass next to me. He seemed so little I doubted he could crawl away that quickly. I reached in again to pull out what I thought was going to be another baby puppy but was instead a little pink piglet. I set him with the puppy right beside me. Unsure of what this burlap bag would reveal next I reached in to pull out a grey kitten with the most vibrant blue eyes.  I looked down at the three things I just saved from this bag on the side of the road about to check for others when I herd a deep voice shout my name. I whirl around to see Blake running towards me with concern covering his face, or was that confusion? I had never been good at reading expressions.

Blake's POV
I look over Calvin's shoulder not sure what I would see. Two little fur balls and a pink piglet is what I got! I crouched down examining the animals who all seemed to be in pristine shape for being zip tied in a bag as Calvin had now informed me of. The bag was still moving so he removed the rest of the contents which were another puppy identical to the one He had already saved and another kitten this one an orange color with green eyes. The bag was filled with feces and so were the animals probably explaining the smell.

Calvin's POV
I quickly pulled my left arm out of my leather jacket and went to use it to remove the jacket from my right arm where again I was reminded of the pain. I knew Blake saw me wince but my arm wasn't the concern anymore these poor animals were. We had to get them back home and soon. Blake carried them in my leather jacket telling me my arm was in no shape to handle the job and to keep in against my torso. I did as I was told as the pain begin to set in yet I didn't look at the damage done quite yet. The animals huddle up on the jacket in the seat between us falling asleep out of exhaustion I'm sure. The silence between Blake and I was evident and uncomfortable I mean I had just beat the shit out of him not 3 hours earlier. Once we pull into the drive way the animals were still peacefully sleeping and neither Blake or I left the truck immediately. I look down at them and went to apologize to Blake when he cut me off. "Don't worry about it, I get it.."  Blake said to me I tried to continue with my apology but was once again cut off "you're her older brother it makes sense for you to be upset and protective. So save your apology and let's move on" I was shocked my his forgiveness and managed a sincere thank you.

Blake's POV
I carefully lifted the animals and brought them inside my house where my family had returned home. Aria was still be in the hospital her surgery would be in the morning. My mom rushed towards me shouting things like "where did you go?" And "are you okay" and "i was so worried about you!" Typical mom things. She shut up pretty quickly when she saw what was in my arms. "How precious!" She exclaimed picking up the puppies one in each hand examining them closely. She glanced past me and saw Calvin leaning in the door way. Her face turned to stone "what are you doing here" she said to him in an aggressive tone I had never heard from her before. Calm down mom he was the one who found them and I think he needs medical help he wrecked the dirt bike aways away so I need you to drive him to the hospital. Do not give him crap either he is not entirely at fault I will explain when you return home. Now please hurry he is looking pale. I quickly spat this out stressing about everything that was going on. I just got beat up, my girlfriend is having surgery, I have 5 new pets that I need to help, and my girlfriends brother might be extremely hurt from the inside out. I'm not sure how much more I could take! I began to wash the feces off the little babies, them not enjoying the feeling, sorting through The thoughts racing through my head. Then the phone began to ring

Ring! ring! ring!
