Daughter of a Gun ➟ Reece Bibby ✔

chapter eight

"What the fuck did you do, dumbfuck?!" I shouted at him. I felt bad for him but still, we lost track of the group.
"I saved your fucking life, that's what I did!" he shouted back at me. For some reason his face turned bright red when he looked at me.
"I saved your bitch ass from almost dying there and this his how you thank me? I could give you the moon and the stars on the sky and you still wouldn't be satisfied!" he added. I had no idea how to respond. I tried to say something but the only thing I could do was mutter some nonsense.
"What did you say?" he asked. I was looking down, sad. He got hurt because of me and instead of taking care of him and being thankful I bashed him.
"Maybe you shouldn't have saved me!" I clapped back.
"I would've better been dead as I'm such a pain in the ass for everyone!" I added.
"Are you mad?! I had to save you! There is no way I could ever let anything happen to you. You are all that Blake has, remember? I wouldn't give a flying fuck about you if it weren't for Blake." he shouted at my face. I looked him dead in the eye during his whole speech and I could tell one thing: the last sentence was a lie. It was obvious that he did give a damn about me. If he really was that careless he probably wouldn't have saved me.
"Are you sure you don't care about me?" I asked as I finally managed to get the bullet out and poured some antiseptic on the wound it had left.
"Oh fuck!" he screamed as I placed a cotton pad soaked in medicinal alcohol on his bicep.
"And yes, I'm 100% sure I don't care about you. Why would I care? You're nothing else than just a fellow gang member. I have no reason to even give you attention." he added.
"Don't lie to me, Bibby! I see the way you're looking at me and you don't look like that at someone that you don't give a shit about." I snapped.
"If there is something that I'm certainly not that is a liar. I'm not lying to you, Freya. I seriously can't be arsed. Shall we just try and catch these fuckers? We have time to discuss this crap later." he as I bandaged his arm and tightened the gauze around his arm.
"Just start the car and let's finish this bullshit." I said and he started the engine and took off right away.
