Building Bridges

Chapter Eleven

Dedicated to my precious Pachmina-Y- , Happy birthday baby girl ❤️️

I was kneeling by his side and shaking him a bit because he was still holding Sam and they were both out cold.

-"Steve?" I whispered as I moved the shattered glasses away and inspecting his injuries.

-"SAM!" Suddenly a voice roared and someone kneeled the other side of them.

Sam opened her eyes and groaned, she went to stand up but found herself held by Steve, and once she spotted the blood by the side of his head, she gasped in horror and released herself.

She started shaking Steve and begging him to wake up.

And I recognized finally the person in front of me, it was Sam's brother, and he was looking in surprise at what was happening.

-"He broke her fall, he protected her" I said and it was as if he spotted me for the first time.

-"Dylan...I just went to buy food..I..I didn't know that would happen, I just..." he went on saying.

-"It's okay" I said and looked at Steve as he stirred a little bit and his eyes fluttered open hardly.

-"What's going on?" He said and groaned in pain as he tried to stand a little.

Sam in the other hand flew like a bullet, she stood up and took off running, but I spotted Eva following after her.

-"Thanks God! You're okay" I said as I helped him balancing himself as he stood.

-"Is she okay?" He asked as he started looking around at the chaos that used to be a beautiful roses stand, then, at the people around to find her.

-"She was shocked, you scared her, now Eva is with her" I said and helped him to the car.

I searched in the glovebox for the first aid kit and found a small one, so I cleaned his injuries and put on some bands aid.

-"Is she okay?" He ended by asking once we seated in the front seats and pushed back the seats to rest.

-"Thanks to you, yeah" I said and spotted a little smile on his face.

I sighed with a smile and flopped back on my seat, and we stayed there in silence.

Rick, Damien and Jack came back with food and handed us our parts.

-"Where's Eva?" Damien asked while taking a bite of his sandwich.

-"We saw people gathering around a stand from afar, and I heard that someone got hurt" Jack said as he opened his coke can.

-"Don't worry, I'm okay now" Steve said with dripping sarcasm as he just looked at his still covered sandwich and still didn't decide to eat.

The looks of shock on the three's faces got me laughing.

-"It was you?" Damien asked in disbelief, and Rick in the other hand run to Steve's side of the car, but Jack beat him to the door, and they both started inspecting him for injuries and bombarding him with questions.

-"Awesome! Now we have two injured people in the squad" Damien said as he set his sandwich aside.

-"What happened exactly?" Damien said from my open window.

-"He saved Sam from getting hurt" I said and suddenly they all went quiet, even Jack and Rick that were bitching about Steve's injuries.

And suddenly, Damien, Rick and Jack took off running like the devil was at their trails.
