delivery girl

Ch.49

"Don't worry about it." (Y/N) slurred through a mouthful of blood before collapsing on the floor. The adrenaline had finally worn off and the bodily trauma caused by Zeus's rough handling finally got to her.

"Shit! (Y/N)!" Zack rushed forward and scooped the girl off of the ground. He left the warehouse in search of help, but not without delivering a few swift kicks to Zeus's ribs and gut.

Zack ran as quickly as he could, mumbling things like 'Come on (Y/N), stay up. Wake up' to the unconscious girl in his arms. But she was unresponsive. As a boxer, he understood how dangerous a blow to the head could be. He remembered seeing one kid nearly die in the ring after getting one good blow to the head, his brain was bleeding.

He was worried. 'This could be really bad.'

He stopped and laid the girl's body in the damp grass and tried tapping her face.

"Wake up, (Y/N). Talk to me." He said, but she didn't reply. The longer she didn't respond, the harder he began to tap her face, he was beginning to grow frantic.

"SAY SOMETHING, (L/N)!"

He whipped his hand back to straight up hit her again as a last ditch attempt to wake her up, but her hand shot up and grabbed his wrist.

"Hit me one one time, I dare you." She rasped before coughing.

"W-Were you awake that whole time?" Zack asked in disbelief.

"No, it just feels like somebody smacked the shit outta me."

"Oh, sorry."

It went quiet for a moment and all they could hear was Zack trying to catch his breath and crickets.

"Okay, I'm gonna try to sit up." (Y/N) said with a strained voice and tried to push herself off the ground, but Zack quickly pinned her to the ground by her shoulders.

She fell back with an oof.

"Don't, not yet. We don't know if you're seriously hurt yet." Zack said, looking down at her and using his eyes to plead for her to stay put.

(Y/N) huffed but stayed on the ground.

"Well you tackling me obviously isn't gonna help."

"Would you shut up?" Zack hissed.

"Would you be a bit more careful with the goods?" (Y/N) shot back.

"The goods." Zack repeated with a scoff.

Before the two could continue to bicker, Zack saw the flickering of flashlights in the distance.

"HEY! OVER HERE!"

Daniel rushed over, he had immediately abandoning his place by the phone when the Ambulance finally arrived. Some medics were conveniently following behind him.

He nearly gasped when he saw (Y/N) on the ground with drying blood at the corner of her mouth. She just gave him a close mouthed grin and a peace sign.

'What?'

"She needs help." Zack said quickly, causing the emergency workers to rush towards (Y/N) and pick her up to bring her to be evaluated.

"No, I don't." (Y/N) tried to refuse, but she was too weak to push the doctors away. She only swatted at them, annoying them.

"I'm not paying for this." She declared.

Daniel and Zack watched her get carried away, nearly laughing at how difficult she was being.

"Grab my bag for me! It's in the warehouse!"

Zack gave her a thumbs up and Daniel just stared.

"W-What happened?"

"I'm not really sure, but I do know that (Y/N) got the best of him."

When Daniel saw a bruised and bloody Zeus being led towards the police van, he knew that Zack was right.

Later on, Zack went to visit (Y/N) in the dorm room they were making her stay in for the night.

"You look like a dandelion." Is the first thing Zack says to her. The bandage they had wrapped around (Y/N)'s head (as a precaution) made her hair wildly stick out at random places between bandages.

"I'm injured and the first thing you do when you see me is insult me? Did you come here to see me suffer?"

"Yup." Zack chuckled.

"Go crunch a glow stick, you sadistic bastard."

Zack full on laughed now, (Y/N) doing the same before she started coughing.

"Shit, don't make me laugh. He bruised my ribs."

"Damn, that's tough." Zack said 'sympathetically'.

"I know."

"Seriously though, if you need help getting around I don't mind helping."

"Ah, so you didn't just come here to mock me."

Zack playfully rolled his eyes and went to go ruffle (Y/N)'s hair, but then remembered her could-be concussion and decided to not to.

"Well... scream bloody murder if you need anything." Zack said jokingly, but he would seriously come running if she needed him.

"Sure." (Y/N) said with a soft smile and that almost-laugh of hers.

After Zack left, (Y/N) would have liked to go to sleep, but before she could her phone went off. She groaned and turned over in bed and was going to shut it off, but she didn't when she saw who was calling.

Huo🥴💋 is calling...

She quickly slid her finger across the screen and answered.

"What?" She asked immediately.

"Okay, first of all, hello (Y/N). I missed you so much." Huo said sassily.

"Hello, Huo. Why are you calling me." (Y/N) said with a roll of her eyes.

"Rude, but listen. I know you just got molly-whopped but there's a situation." Huo rushed out.

(Y/N) quickly sat up, grabbing her head when she did. "What? An 'I need you to come home right now' situation or a 'I was stupid and wanted to tell you about it' situation'?"

"I'll let you decide that. So anyways, I kind of got drunk..." Huo started.

"And why is this a reason for you to call me?"
(Y/N) asked impatiently.

"AndIkindofaccidentallyjoinedagirlgang."

"You what?"

"I got drunk and I accidentally joined a girl gang."

"How did you- I don't understand. You know what? Goodnight, Huo." (Y/N) sighed.

"Am I a joke to you?! This is serious I-"

(Y/N) hung up before he could continue to ramble and turned over in bed again. She might as well enjoy the comfy bed while she had it.
