THIRTY-TWO

Alex and I stayed embraced in our hug for what felt like forever. It had probably only been a few minutes though.

For the first time, in a long time, I felt safe.

Alex made me feel that way, made me feel safe and like nothing else mattered by us.

That must have been the 'mates' thing everyone kept going on about.

"Elle," Alex said quietly,

"Hmm,"

"I think we should take a look at your arm," he said pulling away from me, and grabbing my arm. It was still bleeding, he put his hand around it tightly to try and stop the bleeding, "Come on," he said standing up, pulling me up with him, "There must be something he we can use as a bandage,"

There were already medical supplies in the room. My brother's must have bought them from my dad's stash to treat the wounded after the fight, this room must have been where the wounded was treated and why Alex was in here in the first place.

"Put pressure here whilst I look," Alex said, motioning to my arm,

I held my arm tightly with my opposite hand whilst Alex searched through the supplies. He quickly found some gauze and bandages and told me to sit on the bed.

He wrapped my arm up using the stuff he found and taped it up, "There's more stuff there we can use, just in case this doesn't work."

My eyes glanced over to the window, for the first time I noticed it was dark out, probably the middle of the night.

"You tired?" I heard Alex ask.

I looked over at him and smiled, "A little,"

"Come on," he said, laying down on the bed and holding his arm out, motioning for me to come and lay down as well.

I crawled next to him and he wrapped his arm around me, holding me close.

"Try and get some sleep," I hear Alex whisper as I drifted off into a deep sleep.

---

I awoke suddenly from a bad dream.

My dad had found us and had killed Alex and was coming after me next.

My breathing was heavy and shallow. I couldn't catch my breath.

"Elle," I heard a voice say, but it sounded distant, "Try and take some deep breaths Elle,"

I feel something being put over my face and a hissing noise.

"Deep breaths"

I slowly come back to reality and see Alex holding an oxygen mask over my face, "Better?" he asks,

I nod, "Yeah,"

He takes the oxygen mask away and smiles sadly at me, "What happened?"

"Bad dream,"

"It wasn't real Elle," he says grabbing my hand,

"I know" I sigh loudly,

I notice his hand is wet and look over at him properly. He was sat there in nothing but a towel hanging loosely around his waist. His hair was wet, and droplets of water were dripping from the ends of his hair and down onto his torso.

I clear my throat and look away when I realise, I've been looking for too long.

I hear a small chuckle, "Like what you see?"
