Chapter 5: Rhys (Not finished)

Rhys

I quickly whipped my mobile out of my pocket to punch in the only number I knew. Katie’s. I waited for her to pick up, silently urging her to hurry as I cleaned a blood sodden rag ready to be placed on Oliver’s forhead. After a few seconds, the tone stopped and I was greeted by a bright, cheery voice. “Hello?” She said.

“Katie! I need you to get to Ella’s house as soon as you can. No time to explain. Please, hurry. Oh, and bring your sewing kit!” I replied. Without waiting for an answer I put the phone down so I could assist Ella in applying some kind of goopy liquid to the gash. I wasn’t quite sure what it was, but it felt and smelled horrible. I noticed Ella’s head lift up slightly to look outside, was she praying for Katie to get here as soon as possible just like I was? I wiped my sticky hands on some soft, velvety cushions, surprised when Ella didn’t look up to scowl at me. I left her stroking Oliver’s swollen head to stand outside and wait for Katie’s arival. I closed my eyes and let my mind wander. I couldn’t help feeling a pang of jealousy as I thought of Ella and Oliver inside. I let myself think about Ella and I, the life we could have, even though she had told me time and time again that there could never be anything more than a friendship between us. I was snapped back into reality by a loud, rumbling sound coming from up the road. A bright blue moped pulled into the drive, nearly knocking me off balance. The girl hopped off her vehicle, pulling off her helmet as she did. She flicked her short, brown hair out of her face to reveal a pair of startingly blue eyes, enough to make any normal guy swoon. I saw my own, worried expression mirrored on hers, and led her inside to where Oliver was lying next to Ella. If it hadn’t been for the blood, you would have thought they were a normal couple of teenagers spending the afternoon together. I moved out the way to let Katie past, catching her jacket as she pulled it off and threw it in my direction.
