~My National Treasure~ (A Riley Poole FanFiction)

Chapter Four

Alex woke up on the floor of the van, a sharp pain running through her side. Three faces appeared over her, all looking pretty serious.

"What happened?" Alex croaked.

"You got shot" Abby said, looking down at her sadly.

Riley gave Abby many instructions. Abby opened Alex's shirt to reveal a really gory looking bullet hole, that was still bleeding.

"Apply some pressure to it, to stop the bleeding." Abby took something and pressed it gently against the wound, making Alex wince.

Riley came back with a scissors, needles, wrapping, and more. She shook her head, pleading to him.

"Sorry Alex, but you've got to get the bullet out." He sighed, nodding to Ben.

"Can you guys hold her there?" Abby and Ben held her arms and legs, which made things worse.

Suddenly, Riley dug the tweezers into her side, making her scream in pain.

Once he got the bullet out, he had to sew up her side.

"It's okay, I'm almost done" He said soothingly, quickly sewing up the hole. "All done, okay?" Riley said quietly, holding her hand.

She nodded a little, eyes closing. She fainted, holding his hand.

5 minutes later

Alex woke up to Riley still sitting next to her, explaining to the others, "She lost quite a bit of blood, so she's probably going to have a few fainting spells. Oh look, she's back!"

He saw her open her eyes and let out a sigh filled with relief.

"I want to stand up" Alex said slowly.

"I don't think you can" Ben said, immediately getting a reply.

"Please?"

"She can try if she wants to" Riley said. He half picked her up, setting her upright. "There, happy?"

"I want to try walking" She said, taking a step, and almost immediately crumpling. Luckily, Riley was there to catch her.

"I don't think so" Riley smiled, helping her lay back down.

"She tried running, didn't she?" Ben said curiously.

Alex and Riley looked at each other, Alex then looking away in embarrassment.

"No, we just went walking, and got lost" Riley replied, looking at her out of the corner of his eye.

~~~~~~~~~~

Both Ben and Riley had gone to sleep, and Abby and Alex were awake.

"Abby?" Alex sighed, resting her head on the floor.

"Hmm?"

"I kind of....kissed Riley" She mumbled, looking at the floor.

"What?!" Abby grinned, whisper-yelling.

"You know he likes you, right" Abby said. "You should've seen his face when you got shot."

"Really?"

"Really."
