Faded Words: A SetoSorcerer Story

Chapter 13: You Can Do it

Jason's P.O.V
"Jason." Someone said. I feel so weak. I don't really want to open my eyes at all. I'm in someone's arms. I can still hear the rain. I open my eyes slowly. It's Skylar. She's okay. She is hugging me, but a little too tight. I groan and she gasps. I feel her hand on my cheek. She smiles.

"Don't move. Save your strength." She said. Someone is messing with my bad ankle. I can feel it. I put my forehead on the side of her neck and close my eyes.

"He won't be able to walk Skylar." They said.

Skylar's P.O.V
I blush a little and then look at Shade.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"I think his ankle is broken." She said. I look down at the ground. Oh no. We are so far away from camp too.

"We're not leaving him." I said.

"Skylar I don't want to leave him either. But he'll slow us down. He's too injured to risk this." Shade said. I hold Jason tighter and looking down.

"Then you go! I'm not abandoning him, I'm not gonna leave him to die!" I said. Shade takes a step back. She reaches towards me. I move away a little. "Go away Shade. You don't care about Jason." Shade stares at me for a second.

"I care about him." She said.

"No you don't. Go away. I'll get him back to the camp by myself." I said.

"Skylar that's gonna take forever." She said. I look at her.

"Why do you care? Just leave Shade." I said. She stare for a few moments before she leaves. I lay Jason down on his back. I shake him a little and his eyes open. "You gotta get up now. We're going back to camp." Jason doesn't move or reply. I feel tears form in my eyes. "Come on Jason. You gotta get up. I would carry you but I'm not sure if I can carry you. Please. Please get up." Jason looks away from me. I grab his arm and bring it up a little making him groan in pain.

"N-No S-Skylar." Jason said weakly. I stop moving him and just stop. I think I just heard my heart break. He sounds so weak, he's given up cause he's in so much pain.

"Just try. Please just try. You can lean against me, I just want you to walk a little bit to camp." I said. Jason doesn't reply. I bend down and put his arm around my shoulders. I grab his sides. "Jason you gotta help me here. Please. I'm not strong enough to lift you up by myself." Jason's eyes are closed. Tears fall down my face. I grip his ripped up and bloodied shirt in my hands. "PLEASE JASON! I don't want to lose you too. I know your in a lot of pain, but it hurts me more seeing you just give up like this." I see his eyes open a little. "We can take as many breaks as you need. Whatever it takes to get you up. I'm not expecting you to move fast like you usually do. I just want you to be able to make it to get help for your wounds. Then you can rest and heal as long as you want." I get Jason to sit up and I smile. "Your almost there." Jason meets my eyes and we stare at each for a few seconds. We both look away from each other. I take his arm off of me. "Let me get on your bad leg side." I crawl over him and grab his arm again and put it around my shoulders. I put my arms around his center. "Alright. This is gonna hurt." We slowly get up to our feet. I put my arm around Jason as he almost loses his balance. I grab his hand to the arm that is around my shoulders. "You good?" He nods.

Shade's P.O.V
*Few Minutes later*
I was into camp and look around not seeing Jason or Skylar.

"Where's Skylar?" Zonnik asks. I look at him as he runs up to me.

"We found Jason." I said. He smiles a little.

"Really, cool. Where is he, and Skylar?" He asks. I put my hand on my arm.

"He was too hurt. He broke his ankle, Skylar wouldn't listen to me." I said.

"You left them alone?! Shade what if something happens to them? You should have stuck with them." Zonnik said.

Skylar's P.O.V
We have been walking for a long time. I put my hand on his chest to keep him up. His really hurt. I can tell cause every step he looks like he's in pain. It hasn't stopped raining yet. It's making this more difficult. I should have tried to cover up some of his wounds but we have to be about almost halfway back. Jason suddenly grabs my hand. I stop holding him steady.

"We're almost there. We're almost there." I said. He is leaning against me a lot, but I can handle it. We walk some more before he collapses to his knees and I go down with him. "No. No. No. No. Jason come on. Get back up. Get back up." I put my arms around him going down in front of him. He put his forehead on my shoulder and his arms around me loosely. "Your not allowed to die Jason. I know your in pain, but we are almost there." Jason picks up his head and looks at me. I grab his shoulders to keep him upright. I open my mouth to say something and nothing comes out. I just stare at him. He has blood covering some of his face and is swaying a little. I lean closer to him and put my forehead against his. He instantly looks at me. I blush and so does he. "You can make it. I know you can." His eyes look away from mine.

Jason's P.O.V
She is kind of too close for comfort, but I kind of like it.

"Jason look at me." She said. I can't do that without blushing. I glance at her and her eyes are closed. "If it's okay with you, it's okay with me." Is what okay with me? What's she gonna do?

"What?" I ask as her hands move up my shoulders and onto my neck. Her eyes open and look at mine.

"Your that clueless?" She asks. No. No I'm not. I wince a little as a sudden wave of pain hits me. I move my head to the side a little bit and wince again "It's okay." I look at her seeing her leaning towards me. I meet her halfway and we kiss. I put my hands on the ground balancing myself as I feel her arms wrap around my neck, moving closer to me and she breaks the kiss, putting her forehead against mine again. She smiles and I manage a smile back even though it hurts. "Come on. We're almost back to the camp."
