The Fallen Will Rise

Chapter 4 Partial Truce? (Emily)

Without even turing around I already know who is behind me, and it irritates the hell out of me. "What do we have to talk about herpies? I'm not working with you understand, so go away." I say with attitude icing my voice.
"Look I'm not failing this class just becuse some prissy little girl has her feelings hurt and doesn't wanna do the work. I'll go as far as saying truce while we are in that class." He says matter of factly with a slight attitude causing me to turn around and meet his gaze.
"Fine herpies but the minute the truce wavers in that class I'm done and you fail." I say giving him a knowing look, as I start to try to walk away. "Also stop calling me herpies. You don't know me but yet your insinuating a whole lot about me." He says rolling his eyes.
"No actually the name is staying, in my personal opinion it fits you well." I say giving him a once over with my eyes. "Definitely fits." I say laughing as I walk away. "Whatever Emily, you'll learn to love me just like everyone else." He says laughing.
After a few more boring classes the end of school comes and Im able to start walking home. I leave everything in my locker, no home work so whats the point in taking it all home. Walking down the side walk I begin to take in the scenery. All the houses look the same.
Nothing out of place. Kids are outside of course but its nothing like where me and Pop's used to live. Headphones in, music blasting I start to finally feel at peace walking home. Eyes closed getting into the music, its like the music transported me to a whole new world.
It always happens thats why I shouldn't bring headphones with me anywhere. Music has gotten me in trouble time and time again.
Suddenly I'm able to just make out a horn as my eyes fly open seeing a car come flying at me. It's like I'm unable to move wating for the impact of the car to hit me.
Within a split second I'm laying on the sidewalk, someone saved me obviously. I open my eyes to see none other then herpies himself, looking pretty pissed off at me.
"What the hell is wrong with you do you not see where you're going!" He practically screams in my face. "One more second and you could have been dead Emily!" He says very harshly. "Well my knight in shining armor saved me." I say sarcastically.
Looking down I realize we are in a rather uncomfortable position, with him between my legs raised up on his arms looking at me. "Can you get up now?" I ask nicely to my surprise. He huffs but gets up extending a hand out to help me up, I take it and once I stand throbbing pain shoots up my leg from my ankle.
"Shit ouch." I say as tears come to my eyes barley able to stand. "You probably either sprained or dislocated your ankle." He says to my surprise nicely. I try to walk again this time stumbling right into Levi.
"Ouch sorry you can go now thanks for not letting me die." I say looking away. "I'm not that much of an ass that I would just let you walk with your leg like that all by yourself." He says looking at me. "It's only a few more blocks, I think I can manage."
I say trying to walk but again failing as I stumble into him again. "Look I didn't bring my car today but I can help you walk home." He says putting my arm around his shoulder holding me up by my side.
"Fine thanks lets go." I say as I start slowly walking. "why weren't you paying attention when you were walking?" He asks in a hushed tone. "It happens all the time when I listen to music, I just zone out." I answer with a sigh.
Looking out of the side of my eye I can finally get a better look at him up close. He is very attractive, I won't lie about that. He obviously isn't all that bad since he saved me and is helping me home. Looking away before he notices, I wonder to myself if I read him wrong this whole time.
A little while later we finally make it to where my house is. "It's the one to my right." I say looking at him. "Only because I feel like being nice I'll help you get inside and make sure you're good before I leave." He says not looking at me. "Okay." I mumble in response.
Once I'm finally inside and on the couch with my leg up it feels so much better. "I wanna look at it if its dislocated I can help replace it." He says taking my shoe and sock off. I'm to tired to argue so I let him do what he wants.
He starts feeling on my ankle, I don't think nothing of it until he tries to actually bend my foot. "Ouch that hurts." I say sitting up. "Yeah it's just as I thought, dislocated. One of two things can happen, I can get my car and drive you to the ER or I can replace it for you just like they would to save you time."
He says looking at me knowingly. "Is it going to hurt either way?" I say looking into his eyes. "Either way yes, it will. But as long as you have ice, a wrap and pain medicine you will be okay." He says not breaking eye contact.
"All of that stuff is here pain medicine and the wrap are in the bathroom first drawer on the right." I say sighing softly. He gets up to get what he needs and returns not even two minutes later. He gets down back where my foot is.
"This is gonna hurt but it's worth it. You gotta trust me though because if you tense up it can cause it to be hurt more." He says holding eye contact. "Okay I trust you." It comes out barely above a whisper. "Okay." He says moving his hands to my ankle.
