Chapter Nine

His lips were pale and his skin was white. He had been unconscious for a few hours. I just wanted him to wake up.

‘Come on, Jason,’ Artie murmured.

I watched the movement of his eyeballs under their lids. He was trying. Really trying. Slowly they parted and his blue gaze landed on mine. A small smile tugged the corners of his lips before they scrunched up in a grimace.

‘Don’t move,’ Artie said, holding his arm down.

The bullet had gone into his leg and just missed the artery vein. Artie had done some quick work, digging it out. There had been blood everywhere. Purple had been sent out for supplies and a doctor. The most intelligent Avoidables went to a private school. We still needed professionals.

‘I’m worried about the Doctor,’ I whispered to Artie as Jason took my hand.

‘It’s okay, Hope.’ Jason squeezed my fingers.

I leant down and kissed his forehead.

‘We don’t have a choice. I need him to do the stitches,’ Artie said.

The secret knock sounded on the theatre door and Artie went to let them in.

‘Hope, I’m sorry…’ Jason started.

Putting a finger over his lips, I looked into his eyes. I smiled slowly and he did the same. We didn’t need words. The life that reflected back at me was all I needed.

‘I’m not sure I can be an angel,’ I blurted.

Jason frowned. ‘It’s okay, I know it’s challenging, but we can do this.’

‘He’s through here,’ I heard Artie say as he came into the small room.

We had moved the patient as soon as the blood-flow was stemmed.

Jason squeezed my hand, not taking his gaze away from me. I knew we had to talk about it. The truth was, I didn’t feel capable of embracing my dark and light side at the same time as trying to protect Jason too.

‘Hello,’ the doctor greeted us politely.

My mouth dropped open when a tall elderly man with ridges over his hands came forward and stood in front of us. He was wearing a smart suit and had short grey hair. Glasses balanced on the end of his nose, covering bright purple eyes.

I looked up as Purple walked through the door. His jaw was tight as tension vibrated from him. Purple rarely spoke about his father. He had told me that he had been rejected by him at a young age, and as such, Purple had found his own way.

‘Okay, let’s get going, I need to…’ he paused when he looked at Jason’s face. His gaze travelled down his perfect bare chest. A sheet covered the lower half of him, but his flawless legs were showing too.

‘He’s a Perfect?’ he whispered, turning to Artie.

‘No questions, remember, Pa?’ Purple growled.

The doctor looked at his son and growled back. His teeth actually bared and I could see the flame in his eyes.

‘Doctor, please can you do the stiches? I’ve managed to get the bullet out and stop the bleeding.’ Artie lifted the sheet.

I looked away. Even though Jason and I were soul-mates, it felt wrong to look at him in that way.
