"If you were awake you would be laughing at that"
Bonnie angrily flung open the drawers of the up stairs kitchen, she had been looking everywhere for something, anything but nothing. "Come on!" She yelled flinging open another cabinet to find it empty. "FUCK!" She threw a glass vase that was on the countertop. It smashing into the basement door.
She slid down the wall onto the moldy old tiled floor grabbing her curly hair in her hands. She tried to calm her breathing and tried to ignore the throbbing pain in her spine as she buried her face in her knees.
She needed to find something, anything to help Joel. He had done so much for her, she needed to help him and she was currently failing miserably. Bonnie let go of her fair and let out a sigh. She was crumbling under the pressure. She couldn't crumble, she couldn't falter, she couldn't fuck this up. Not now. This was Joel she was talking about She couldn't let him die. She couldn't let another person she loved die. Joel was all she had left.
Bonnie reached into her coat pocket and her system suddenly flooded with panic when she felt it missing from her pocket. "No,no,no" she muttered starting to pat down her pockets. Then she remembered. She threw her knife at that guy. It was gone. Her knife. The knife her sister gave her. Gone. She was never getting it back.
Bonnie felt a sinking feeling fill her chest and she squeezed her eyes shut resting her head against the wall. "God fucking damn it" she whispered feeling a lump rise in her throat. She felt so defeated.
Bonnie opened her eyes and they suddenly widened. She leaned forward, crawling across the floor. Bonnie stopped wincing at the pain in her back. She reached out grabbing a hood of the small ball of black thread with a needle stuck in it.
Bonnie tightly grasped it. Suddenly being filled with hope. Bonnie forced herself from the ground and ran over to the basement door thundering down the stairs.
Bonnie dropped to her knees beside Joel again ignoring the shooting pain up her spine. She pulled his jacket off him causing him to shiver and she lifted up his shirt revealing his wound. Her eyes momentarily wandered to Joel who was looking directly at her. Her breathe hitched in her throat at the look in his eyes. "I told you to go" he whispered weakly and Bonnie pursed her lips, her nostrils flaring in annoyance. "And I told you to shut up"
She whispered her voice cracking. She tore her eyes away from Joel's and to the wound in his abdomen she went to reach into her pocket but felt a hand grab her other one. She snapped her head towards the touch and saw Joel's hand on top of hers. Her eyes drifted to meet Joel's who were softer than before.
