TW: Hospitals, Injuries

Bat lay awake in the hospital bed. They haven't been able to sleep since their step-dad got to them. But their injuries weren't as bad as their mom made them seem. They had a long cut next to their right eye, Bat knew that would scar. It's okay, they think it will look cool. They also have cuts along the side of their leg, and their right leg was broken.

But that doesn't matter.

Bat's worried about their brother. When Bat passed out was when Niki snapped. Called the cops and had an ambulance come pick them up. George was left alone. They have figured he went to Clay's house, but theres no way to tell.

Jon took away their phone when they came out and Niki's got smashed.

***
The Day Before

Bat sat on the marble counter tops, their mother sitting on one of the bar stools, Jon on the other.

"So, Honey, our child here has something to tell you." Niki said, smiling at Bat.

Bat thought today was going to go amazing. They thought that they would be excepted. I mean, their mother wouldn't have picked someone who wouldn't support them. Right?

"Okay, what is it, Anna? Is everything okay?" Jon said, giving Bat a warm smile.

Bat nodded looking at the ground. It was now or never. "Jon, I'm non-binary. I would like if you could start using they/them pronouns for me. My name is Bat. I know it will be hard to-"

Then everything went to hell.

***

A nurse knocked on Bat's door.

"Come in." they mumbled.

"Hello, Bat. I have your meds. Your mother will be picking you up in about thirty minutes." the women handed them a glass of water and two pills. Bat took them with ease.

Bat knew they would be going home early. It's not like their skull is cracked or they can't breath. But it was cool to stay over night in a hospital. Cool, but uncomfortable.

***

Clay was the first to wake up, his back hurt from sleeping in the stiff chair. He propped the chair upright, walking to his closet. He pulled out grey sweatpants and a white T-Shirt, quickly getting changed.

Clay looked at George. He looked so peaceful. Mumbling soft, incoherent words in his sleep.

He'll let him sleep longer. Clay unpluged his phone, sitting on his bed next to George. He opened discord.
