Beast

Chapter 3

(Xavier's P.O.V)
Why the hell does my head hurt so bad? Xavier's weak body fought to open his eyes and found himself in an infirmary bed. He threw his head back on his pillow and groaned. Fuck I have to get out of here. My blood...it can't be identified. Xavier swung his legs to the edge of the infirmary bed and struggled to sit himself up. His eyes looked to the clock on the wall. 11:45 morning?

"No" a voice advised, a hand settling on his shoulder. He looked to his side to see Elena with her hand holding his shoulder tight "Elena, I can't- I don't want to be in here. I don't need the help" Elena raised an eyebrow and shook her head "your unbelievable, your hurt, your wounded, lay back down, X"

X? I never thought I would ever hear those words again. Xavier shook his head "X..." He repeats "don't call me that" he demanded "ever" Elena sighed, letting her hand drop to her side "I just- sorry..." She knew it was best not to argue while Xavier was in this kind of condition.

He stood up on his feet and Elena immediately interrupted him "lay back down now" at this point she was confident. Xavier walked over to Elena, his fist crumbling "I don't take orders from you!" He yells. Elena stood up from her chair and got into the tall boys face "I don't care who you take orders from! Lay. Back. Down!"

Xavier was surprised of Elena's bravery and a little annoyed but he finally did as she said. A nurse moved the curtain out of her way to get by the bed Xavier was in. Elena looked at the nurse and grinned "Hey Ms. Parker, Mr. Lockwood" the nurse nodded at Xavier "is everything okay in here?"

Xavier and Elena shared a look at each other and when about two seconds pass, Elena nodded at the nurse. "Okay then, well I'm here to take Xavier's blood so...if your queazy Ms. Parker you can close the curtain and remove yourself" Elena sighed and shook her head "it's just one shot"

The nurse came towards Xavier and looked at him in the eye. He grabbed her forearm and he felt the veins come from underneath his eyelids, his eyes turning red "hey, you don't need to draw my blood. I'm fine, you know it" he compels. The nurse nods and looks at Elena "well I guess I don't need to draw his blood"

Xavier looked down, feeling Elena's stare at him. The nurse looked into a cupboard and grabbed a bandage and gauze "Um but I do need to change his bandages" Elena grinned and stepped in front of the nurse "I can do it, my mother was a doctor and she taught me how to do this all the time. Besides, I kinda need to talk to Xavier"

The nurse nodded handing Elena the supplies "well yeah of course, I know how it is. Friends are more comfortable to be around. Well if you need me, I will be helping others" the nurse stepped away from the two, closing the curtains.

Friends? You got to be kidding me. Xavier looked at Elena watching her walk towards him.
(Elena's P.O.V)
Xavier struggled to push himself to sit at the edge of the bed. Elena helped him, or at least tried but he ended up pushing her away "I got it" he says in his dull tone. Elena looked at his black shirt he wore and she could still see the tried blood on it. She gulped and took a deep breath "I'm gonna have to tell the nurse to get you a clean shirt" she commented.

"Yeah whatever" Xavier responded. Elena stepped in front of Xavier and held the bandage and gauze in her hand "ta- take off your shirt" she struggled to say that she almost choked on her words.

Without hesitation Xavier followed her orders. Shit, this was a bad idea Elena thought, looking at Xavier's upper body. She saw the bloody bandage that wrapped around his torso and immediately gulped but to her it was a distraction to keep her eyes away from his abs.

She grabbed a pair of scissors and started to cut off the old bandage. She felt Xavier stare at her, and felt his breath on her neck. She never been this close to Xavier as her head was almost touching his chest. Her breaths became heavy and was scared that Xavier would might be able to hear them. Finally the silent teen spoke "You queazy, princess?" He asked, smirking.
