Chapter thirteen
(Jenna’s P.O.V.)
I heard a faint noise, it sounded like footsteps, I cocked my head to the side, listening intently, yep, footsteps, and talking
“He is down here, but why won’t you tell me who you are?” I heard Maria’s voice
I looked at Drake “I think someone found out about our boy here” I told him
His eyes went unfocused and he nodded to himself as he listened
I looked at the boy as he shifted in his seat, groaning
“He’s awake” I said, just as mom and some other person came into the room
“oh my god Jake! What happened to you?” the young girl asked worriedly
Jaikoren groaned again “I was attacked by… a tiger, this girl found me and saved me” he said, pointing at me
“Excuse me, but who are you?” I asked, trying not to be rude.
“I’m his best friend, Teila, he didn’t tell you about me?” she asked me
I shook my head at her, then looked at Jake, he looked sheepish “I didn’t want her to worry, so I didn’t tell you” he told me
I crossed my arms and sighed “I asked you if you if you might have had anyone looking for you, you were almost dead and you were worried about someone worrying?” I asked him incredulously
He shrugged
I sighed and looked at Teila, “I’m sorry, I would have called you immediately after I made sure he was in stable condition” I apologized to her
She held her hands up as if in surrender “hey, you saved his life, and I am in your debt” she said, smiling in gratitude
I smiled back and nodded “well, I have to… we’ll just leave you two alone” I said, not able to come up with an excuse for why we are leaving
We left the room and Maria turned to me “that was very brave of you dear, what you did last night, I’m glad he’s alright” she said softly to me.
“Thanks mom” I said, not realizing what I said
Maria stared at me a second, and that’s when I realized what I said “I mean! Uh…” I trailed off
