My Little Fighter

Chapter 14

Amelia

Things never like to go my way it seems.

After this little surprise encounter, they both went against me and evilly plotted to make this day, well how can I say it?

Simply not fun.

Luke even went as far as to say to me "bros before hoes" when I tried to make excuses to leave.

First of all, I'm going to have a big big talk with him because he isn't supposed to know these kind of words, and second of all I'm not a random hoe I'm his freaking big sister !

But honestly, I don't blame him, if I was a little ten year old boy, I would definitely enjoy some male company.

I know it's not easy for him to open up to people, and the only ones he is close to are all girls, so some « boy energy » couldn't hurt.

Well it could, cause it hurt me.

They were litteraly ganging up on me.

For example, while we were playing with the ball, they would pass it to each other and miss me on purpose.

Or when we- they decided to take a litte walk, Jace was making me trip on purpose, and Luke was stepping on the back of my shoe.

Well I guess they were also having fun when a bird decided to drop a little gift on my shoulder.

It was not a great gift idea tho.

I could see Luke was having so much fun and I was very grateful that Jace was doing this.

I don't exactly know why but I still appreciated it.

It was now two hours later and we were all sitting on the grass looking at the sun starting to set.

They now toned down the teasing and I was actually enjoying this moment.

"Ames, can I go on the swings for a little bit ?" A very energetic Luke asked me.

How was he not tired?

"Yeah of course Lukey just don't go anywhere too far."

And that's how he ran off.

I was now alone with Jace and we were both staring at the view. There was an awkward silence so I decided to break it.

"I just wanted to thank you for what you did, you really didn't have to but Luke still had so much fun."
I said with a little smile thinking about seeing my baby brother this happy.

"Oh don't mention it, I had a lot of fun too cupcake."

After this the silence came back but this time it was a comfortable one, and somehow, our bodies seemed to be closer than before, our arms were practically touching at this point.

I tried to ignore the little tingles that ran all over this said arm but it was so weird, something I never really experienced before.

Not that I ever had a boyfriend anyway.

"So Amelia tell me a bit about yourself."

"There's nothing much to say really. I live with my brother and I try to survive through my first year of med school."

"Oh come on, I'm sure there's more to your life than that. What about your parents?"

I visibly stiffened at the question he asked and I think he realized it.

"Oh, if it made you uncomfortable I-"

"No it's fine you didn't know. I never knew my father and my mom died last year." I stopped myself before I revealed another piece of information.

Honestly, I was expecting the same old 'I'm so sorry, if there's anything I can do please tell me' bullshit.

It was honestly annoying because people mostly never intend it but something else happened.

He hugged me.

Let me repeat. Jace. Falls. HUGGED. Me.

Why did I feel so good in his arms?!

I felt so safe as if nothing in this world could harm me. Wait what ?!

I wanted to push him away but at the same time I didn't, so my dumb self  freakin pulled him closer.

After a few seconds in, I could swear I felt him sniffing my neck.

What the hell?

Oh my god, maybe he is secretly a werewolf like in those stories. This is so awesome.

"Jacey were you just sniffing me?" I asked while giggling a bit after I ended the hug.

His cheeks were as red as santa clause's costume after this remark.

"What? You must be i-imagining things cupcake. I-I would never do that I'm not a dog or anything."

Hm, dog or werewolf, it's kinda close, so maybe my theory was right! He's a werewolf!

He tried changing the subject when he asked "What's your favorite color ?"

"Um, it's gotta be red because this color is so awesome. I mean, anyone can interpret it in a different way depending on their mood. For example if youre angry then-"

I stopped talking because I felt someone looking at me but instead I saw Jace staring at me with an amused expression.

"What's wrong ? Do I have something on my face ? Jace what did you do ? I swear to god if you did something to me I-"

Me panicking really seemed to make Jace laugh because he couldn't stop himself by now.

"Relax cupcake, I didn't do anything. I just find it funny how can someone be so passionate about a color that they start rambling about it."

Red ? Yes, that's the color of my face right now.

"I-"

I was stopped by a sound that I hoped I would never hear again.

Luke crying in pain.

It was like everything and everyone was a blur as I started spriting towards my brother.

I didn't even realize that Jace was following very close to me.

My horrified state wasn't doing any better when I saw his arm. The bone was clearly broken. It was out of place and blue. Definitely not a good sign.

"Hey hey Luke take a very deep breath and tell me exactly what happened. Everything will be alright."

"I-I was on t-the m-monkey bar a-and I slipped a-and f-fell on my arm."

"Don't worry baby you'll be okay now. You're with me. Does it hurt anywhere else than your arm ?"

I didn't even know how could I be so controlled in this situation.

Sure, if I was the one injured during a fight or anything, it wouldn't matter, but I can't bear seeing Luke in pain.

"Y-yes my knee t-too."

I looked over there to see a bleeding knee, but nothing too concerning.

Somehow, Jace was by our side being very calm. Way too calm even. I wish I could do that.

Jace said his first words since the accident. "Come on guys, we have to go to the hospital."

I froze at this word and Luke started screaming even more and trashing around like a crazy boy.

"N-NO! NO HOSPITAL. AMY I DON'T WANT TO GO THERE HELP ME!"

Jace's confused and shocked expression said it all and my head started to get dizzy at all of the emotions, memories and pain coming rushing back.

I was now holding tightly Luke so that he would stop moving and hurting himself even more and I said to Jace in an almost inaudible whisper

"Not the hospital."

He scratched his head in frustration then said "Okay fine I know someone then. Let's go now."
