I sigh, while I walk toward Nick's unconscious body. I don't want to touch him, I really don't.
I stop and start looking around until I find a pretty decent stick. I grab it and start walking towards Nick again, once I'm close enough, I start poking his back.
"Nick?" I said in a calm voice but he doesn't reply. I keep poking hoping that will wake him but he doesn't. It seems waking him up is out of the question. I need another strategy.
I look at Blacky, I think he will be able to carry Nick all the way home. I assume Blacky understood my intentions because he immediately starts to talk.
"There's no fucking way I'm carrying him, I refuse to touch that idiot unless it's to kill him. If you want to help him you will have to do it alone" he said with a slightly annoyed voice.
I nod, fair enough. If it wasn't because I feel guilty, I would leave him alone here. I grab his feet and start dragging him, to say it's hard would be an understatement. I'm far from my house, around 1 hour away walking but I know that I will take far longer dragging Nick.
Leaving him here is being more and more appealing each minute. Alright, let's do this, I just need a lot of patience. His face is thankfully facing the floor so I don't have to stare at his… sausage… but I have a full view of his ass and that image will forever haunt my nightmares.
I start dragging him and I hear him groan every time his face hits a rock or gets stuck on a root sticking out. I should probably check on him but I don't want to. I'm already helping him by moving him, I'm not going to nurse him.
With each passing hour I sweat more and more, at some point my clothes got so soaked they ticked to my skin, it feels like I'm walking underwater.
Time passes and it's already nighttime, I check on my cellphone and it's 8:30 p.m. well shit… I hope my dad isn't home, I have no idea how to explain the blood on my tracksuit and the naked guy I'm dragging with me.
Another hour passes, I'm finally on my front porch, I'm a sweaty bag of meat, skin, and bones. To my surprise, Nick is still out while Blacky shouts curses and tries to convince me to leave him alone. This is seriously giving me a headache.
I walked up the stairs and giggle at the satisfying sound of Nick hitting his head with each step. I'm about to open the door when my phone finally rings for the first time. I pick up the call and my dad's worried voice is on the other side.
"Allie! Look…" he takes a deep breath and then says "Ifyou'rehavingfunandjustforgottotellmeI'msorryforbotheringIjustwanttomakesureyouareokbecauseI'mreallygoinginsanehere"
(He's saying: If you're having fun and just forgot to tell me I'm sorry for bothering, I just want to make sure you are ok because I'm really going insane here).
…I don't know what the fuck he just said. "Dad? I didn't understand anything you said" I tell him and wait for his reply.
"I-I'm sorry… I just.. when you weren't home… I got a little bit scared but I thought you were having fun with your friend and were going to call me later but… you didn't and I panicked" I can hear his sigh. I should've called him, he must have been so scared.
"I'm sorry dad. Something happened and…well… I'm already at the porch, just give me a momen-" I hear a click at the other side.
Did he just… did he just end the call? I start to hear loud steps coming from inside the house and after a couple of seconds, the door opens abruptly.
"Allie! thank god you're alright!" he hugged me so hard I felt the air escape my lungs. I really have to apologize to my dad for worrying him so much.
He kisses my head and tells me how much he loves me. I know he hates being a worrywart, but I don't really mind. After my mom died when I was little, he tried his best to fill the space she left. I hope one day he finds someone else to love.
He stops kissing my head and I look up, I finally realize the mistake I made. Nick is there… I didn't have time to hide him.
Well… fuck. How do I explain this? let's try with 'dad, I found big ass wolves fighting and ended up killing four of them. Well… a ghost killed them but I think I can be called an accomplice. The other wolf I saved turned into this idiot that kissed me against my will yesterday… I felt bad for him so tried to help him and here we are now…' Would that work?
I look at my dad again and he's just observing Nick. He looks at me and finally realizes the stains of blood on my tracksuit. He slowly let go of me and smiles with pursed lips.
"Alright… give me just ooooone second, Allie" he starts walking inside the house and I'm confused.
I can hear the inside of the house, glasses breaking on the floor, metal objects clanking once they fall. I just don't understand, is he looking for something?
"What are you doing?" I ask curiously.
