229 "Im fine" (2/2)
As Abi's lips began to tremble, the door opened and Alex came in. The blood over his face was gone but the traces of blood on his inner white shirt were still visible.
”Look, he's all bloody. He's injured!” she told Zeke but Zeke simply glanced at her before facing Alex.
”She's alright, Alex,” Zeke assured him, ignoring Abi's plea.
Alex's shoulders dropped down, letting out a long and deep sigh of relief. He then bent down over her and held her face with his gentle hands.
Before Alex could speak, Abi's hands reached out and held his arms. ”Are you okay? Did they treat your wounds?” she asked, worried sick for him.
Alex blinked and slowly looked away. ”I'm fine,” he told her for the third time. There was an undercurrent in his voice that was seemingly begging her not to ask anymore, making Abi feel like something was stuck in her throat, rendering her unable to speak any further.
”Let's go upstairs and get changed, or should I go and get you some clothes?” He swiftly changed the topic. He was calm. No - this wasn't calm. There was an undercurrent to this seeming calmness and she could feel that he was repressing something, his rage.
”I will come with you.” She climbed off the bed and before Alex could lift her up again, she said sternly, ”I'll walk.”
”Are you sure?”
”Yes, Alex. I'm very sure. You protected me… you used your body to…” she bit her lips, stopping herself from crying. She knew that he protected her, that he was willing to sacrifice himself for her!
”Okay, let's go.” He held her hand and they walked out of the room, hand in hand, in silence, taking their time as they climbed up the stairs.
Abi was doing her best not to burst out in tears. Alex looked composed on the outside but she could tell he was not on the inside. So she stopped herself from questioning him and decided to give him time to calm down.
By the time they reached Alex's room, they both halted.
”I'll go get changed,” he broke the silence.
Abi looked at him and nodded, letting go of his hand.
He held the door handle and pushed it. He stopped midway and Abi looked away. She was about to head to her room when suddenly, Alex's said something unexpected.
”Want to come inside?”
