The City Of Astan

Louis

I nod, loosening my grip to let her get up, "Okay. Be careful, alright?"

Sam

I nod and unsteadily walk to the bathroom.

I roll my shirt up so it reveals the bandages and slowly take them off, wincing. The bandage goes to my back to, from where the shark grabbed me. I take it off and stare at the cuts, not believing how it looks like a dog bite. But way bigger.

Louis

I walk to the kitchen and start making breakfast or lunch or whatever time it is, hoping Sam's okay.

Sam

I put the bandages back on and walk back out, to find Louis in the kitchen. I walk to him and sigh.

Louis

I find Sam behind me and flash a smile, sighing, "You good now?"

Sam

I nod but don't say anything more, watching him.

Louis

I study her before turning back around and finishing up the soup, pouring two bowls.

Sam

I sigh, taking my bowl once he's done, and plop on the couch, my torso sore.

Louis

I take my bowl and sit beside her, sighing.

Sam

He sits beside me and I wrap an arm lightly around my stomach, not caring if it hurt, and start on my soup. It's raining hard outside, thunder and lightning. I glance out the window, swallowing, before looking back down at my soup.

Louis

I watch her out of the corner of my eye, concerned, and eat my soup. I never should have let that happen to her. I promised she wouldn't ever be hurt on my watch...

Sam

I finish my soup and make my way to the kitchen, cleaning it before putting it back.

Louis

I finish mine and follow suit, washing the dishes before putting them away.

Sam

I watch him before walking to the window, watching the rain.

Louis

I watch her before sitting back on the couch and sighing.
