...

After getting out the the car, I watched as two other men walked out from the front door.

"JESUS CHRIST CLAY? WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOU?" A scruffy man was running towards Clay, he had a black hat on and a softened beard coated his cheeks and chin.

A slender man was walking my way. I only backed away, holding my hands up for him to know to keep his distance, which he took hint of it and stopped in his tracks.

Clay fell to his knee's, the other man gripping his face. This must of been Nick, from the small echo I could hear from there phone it sounded a lot like him. I wasn't sure though, and especially who the other one was.

"KARL GET THE MEDKIT HURRY, HES NOT LOOKING TOO GOOD!!" Nick was crying out for the man who was walking towards me moments before.

Karl glanced over towards me. "COME ON, HELP ME!." He was wafting his hand quickly towards me.

My heart was racing and I looked around for a moment as if someone would help me out of this situation. But this was for a guy who had just saved my life, a guy who risked everything for me. Someone he had just met.

So therefore, I ran into the house after Karl. He was lifting up a box of stuff when I got in there, and I grabbed the small bag that was next to it.

Karl walked over towards the front door, leaning against it. "BRING HIM INSIDE! COME ON!"

Nick nodded quickly, dragging Clay inside, laying him against their kitchen floor.

I stepped back, letting them work together to fix Clay. Horror filled my eyes, he seemed to be getting worse.

Karl stood up and walked towards me. "I'm really sorry, for all of this. Nick is going to take care of him alright? I'll take you to your room. Sorry, meant to say we knew you were staying here because Clay had texted us before."

I could only nod not really understanding what he was saying, my eyes were too focused on Clay. He was brought to the couch to rest after being patched up. Painful groans left his mouth every few minutes. Apart of me just wanted to run over and tell him how sorry I was.

But I couldn't. I could only stare.

Karl's hands wrapped around my shoulder, turning me around. I finally looked away and glanced at Karl. He seemed familiar...I shook the thought off. 

"He's going to be okay. Let me just show you the room you'll be staying in, and then you can go see Clay if you'd like."

He sounded like a tour guide which kind of made me smile for the first time in awhile, but I covered my mouth to hide it, following him up the stairs.

We stopped in front of a closed off door. "Okay, it's just in there. I have to go speak with Nick, let me know if you need anything."
