"Well, you see it's a long story." I laugh because it really isn't, "let's begin, once upon a time I got dragged into a room, then after a minute or so Mr. Toads duddy took me to a trashed room and I sat on a comfy couch and waited two hours for Mr. Toad to pop up. When he did, being the stupid person he is, he got to close to me and I said something equally stupid. After that I get thrown in a closet and stayed in there for a while, might I add the closet was cleaner then the rest of the room, and I took a nap. It was a good nap until Mr. Toad 'woke' me up and got me out of the closet," I sigh, "good times. Then he gave me some liquid, I thought it was water, it was not." Shaking my head I laugh, "long story short Mr. Toad drugged me, boom done!"
No one says anything for a minute so I look up to see a crying Ava, no eww, crying. Ava was gone a second later, into her room and slamming her door.
"Nova please go and talk to her, I'll take care to Tess." Cole frowns and opens the medical box while Nova walks off and into Ava's room.
"Ok, where's this new pocket I've heard all about." He smiles.
Thats a new one.
“What is?” His face scrunches up as he turns around to look behind him.
“Nothing.” I smile and wait for him to get back on track.
“Ok…” HE opens the box and grabs the large bandage that I was struggling with earlier. “So, lets get back to this. Um…” He clears his throat and nods towered my pocket.
Shrugging I pull Up my shirt, just enough for the hole to be visible, keep it PG guys. *eye roll
“Wow.” He shakes his head “This might need stitches. Never mind, this will need stitches.” He digs threw the box some more and pulls out two white packets. “Look, I can do this if you wan’t but Ava’s better at stitches so…” Looking at the door he gives me a what do you think look.
Oh, but she’s crying! Crying people scare me, maybe its the sniffling or the hick-ups,or maybe its the emotions, eww. The point is crying peoples hands shake and thats not my idea of a good surgeon.
“No, I think we should leave Nova to take care of the feels.” I laugh as go back to watching the black dots dance.
“Good, I wasn’t going to say anything but, this,” He makes a motion to my side, “really upset her.” Looking down he opens the package with ease.
“Your a wizard Cole.” I smile but burst out laughing when he looks confused, adorable.
“I’m not going to ask,” he sets everything on the coffee table and looks at me, “You know, we could just go to the nurse.”
“No, because then the word would get around that Mr. Toad got crabby and stabby, that would make me look weak. Just take care of it and then I’ll go to class tomorrow and act like I’m right as rain. I’d like to see if I can make him go fire-engine red.” Laughing at the thought I get comfortable on the couch, “Its not the first time someone other then a professional gave me stitchs.”
Sighing he grabs the needle and trys to tread it.“This is the hardest part.” he grunts.
Laughing I snatch the needle and string and tread it with ease
“Ive been sewing for years, its a good skill to have when you jump fences, the tricky things are always grabbing and ripping my jackets.”
He laughs, about time, I was starting to think hes a robot or somthing.
“Alright, just…” he shakes his head.
Didn’t he say he’s done this before? You heard that right?
“... hold still. I don’t want to mess this up.”
I nod and he leans forward, the first time the needle goes threw my inflamed skin is like fire, I hiss and grip the arm rest, trying to stay still.
“You said you had someone stitch you up before, how about you tell me about it, to keep your mind occupied.” Cole trys to smile, but I can see it fall all to quickly.
“It was when I was about 14, it was Nova actually. I had fallen from my roof as I was trying to sneak out, well I had landed on..” Another poke of pain “ One of the old bikes.” I Hiss. “It wasn’t very fun to get to her house after that but there was no way I was going to go back inside and wake up my mom, the old handle bar had cut me down my arm.” Poke of pain as I point to the 3 inch scar on the outside of my forearm. “Novas parents we out of town that weekend so when I got there I rung the door bell and waited.”Poke, poke, poke. “When she opened the door I was Laughing, My words were ‘I came, but not in one piece, sorry about that.’ it was the first thing that came to my mind, and who in their right mind knocks and says ‘Hey buddy! So I fell of my roof and cut my arm do yo-’” Poke poke, “Do you mind helping me out?” I laugh again. “That would be silly.” Smiling I look around to find the black dots gone, boo we were just getting to know eachother.
“Are you ok? Your frowning.” Cole Frowns, well speak of the devil.
“Yeah, the dots are gone.” My frown deepens.
“Dots? You are seeing dots, why didn’t you tell me? You could have passed out!”
He snaps his fingers in front of my face but Im do bussy looking at the window were Mr. Toad is standing, smiling.
“What?” He looks right at him and looks around. “I don’t see anything, whats wrong? Your pale as a ghost.”
How did he not see him, I watch as Mr. Toad opens the window and sneaks threw without a sound.
“You don’t see him?” I shake my head, am I seeing things?
“See who?” Cole asks, but this time its not in his voice, its Mr. Toads.
Coles mouth turns up into a sickly grin and he suddenly hits my rid, curling in pain I look up to see Cole it gone and three Mr. Toads are staring at me with the same grin. Standing to run I trip and fall into the black hole I didn’t see before, and thats were I flout, darkness all around, unable to move, locked in my falling state for what feels like a life time.
