{Chapter 15} Gods Sign

I looked up and saw a broken boy, beating me up with all the strength left in him. At this point he lost all sense of reality and was just doing it out of muscle memory.

"Clay. Please," was all I had to say to snap him back into reality.

He stopped everything. Stood there. And let his body fall to the ground. He then burst into tears.

I didn't know what to do. Should I comfort him? Or take the chance and run away?

I sat up slightly and noticed he broke some of my ribs. I yelped at the pain but continued to sit up and scoot closer to him.

I gently rested my hand on his. He only looked up at me.

He was an absolute mess. Snot was dripping from his nose and his face was covered in tears.

I knew I'd regret what I was about to do. But I brought him into a hug. It hurt so much but I just bit my lip to suppress any noise from coming out.

He was hesitant at first but then hugged me back. It felt as if he had never been hugged in his life.

We just sat there as I held him in my arms. My hand ran along his back, while the other was running through his hair. I felt so safe.

Suddenly, raindrops were falling on us. The tickering sound was calming as rain fell on the roof of the building and on the ground.

He felt like a child in my arms as I held him close. I had never felt so at peace with myself or with someone else.

His face fell into my shoulder and I held his head close to mine. He hugged me tighter and I was afraid that if he continued to do so, my ribs would break even more.

"Ow," I finally said from the amount of pain.

He let go of me and just stared into my eyes. I held my stomach and looked back at him.

He was glancing at my body as he noticed all he had done. Something in his eyes had changed as he slowly backed away from me.

"What have I become?" he mumbled under his breath.

Fear and terror filled his eyes as he came back into reality. Suddenly, he shot up and was very hesitant, but eventually ran away.

I was left there, holding myself in all this pain. I knew it would be impossible to try and stand up, this was a whole other level of pain.

My body was becoming weak, not only from this physical pain, but I was also catching a cold. The rain continued to fall on me and the temperature was dropping.

Now I was really worried. My bag was tossed somewhere far away so I couldn't reach my phone. It was cold, really cold.

I'm gonna die. Just like this. I didn't even get to tell mom goodbye.

My body was shaking, there was so much pain everywhere. I couldn't feel my legs or my arms. My back fell against the wall, but that was it. That was the last thing I felt before blacking out.

My eyes opened as I heard a bird. I looked around, only to see my backpack was missing.

I tried sitting up but was stopped by the pain. A headache immediately struck me and all my memories were coming back to me.

It was night time which confused me, why would i hear a bird at night? I didn't think much of it as I tried getting my thoughts together.

I knew I couldn't move, but my body must've been somewhat rested, so I had to fight the pain.

C'mon George, you've had worse than this, I thought to myself, knowing it wasn't true.

But it was still enough to make me stand up slowly. I was beyond dizzy and immensely weak.

After leaning against the wall for a good couple of minutes, I finally pushed myself off and started slowly walking.

On my way back home I remember that my house keys were in my bag. There was no spare key so I was really starting to stress.

I ended up making my way to a park. A bench was nearby and I sat down gently. This made all the pain in my body very visible to myself.

I don't have the money to afford such an expensive hospital bill. Actually I have no money at all. No money. No phone. No house key. What am I gonna do until my mom gets back?

I then remembered Rowan. I've been to his house before so I could walk over there. Luckily it was really close by. But I couldn't show up right now in the middle of the night. I'd have to spend the rest of the night in the park.

The night was cold and windy. I was only wearing some jeans, a tshirt, and a sweater so I was freezing my ass off. Right now I was focusing the energy in my body to heal, but I couldn't help thinking about the pain I was in.

It took some time, but I eventually fell asleep.
