59. Secrets Spilled

CHAPTER FIFTY-NINE
SECRETS SPILLED

Kimmy was horrified at the state the boy next to her was in. She was trying to help him walk as the six made their way to the small red vehicle that the three had left to get the other three with the Russian's.

Dustin was struggling with Steve, the older boy constantly falling against the younger one as he struggled to walk and Dustin struggled to hold him up.

Erica was also clearly annoyed with Robin as the girl would not stop laughing, she too struggling to walk, but she was doing much better than Steve and Aaron.

There were huge gaps between each pair, Kimmy, Erica and Dustin finding their jobs to be incredibly difficult.

Aaron had one arm thrown over Kimmy's shoulders, Kimmy gripping the hand of that arm while she wrapped her other arm around his lower back as she did her best to stabilise him. However this was proven to be difficult seeing as the blond was clearly high out of his mind and was struggling to stand straight.

"Aaron?" Kimmy whispered, frowning at the hardly conscious boy as she struggled to guide him to where Dustin was leading the group. "What happened to you?"

Aaron hummed in response, it taking the boy a moment to register what she had actually said.

"Nothing that I can't handle." Aaron murmured, slurring his words as he was practically limp against the girl while his eyes kept fluttering shut. "Morons, they... they fucked up the drugs."

Kimmy's brows knitted together in response, more worried for the boy than she'd ever been for anyone in her life.

"Do you know what they drugged you with?" Kimmy asked carefully, her voice as gentle as she could manage.

"Can't remember..." The boy slurred, trailing off while he leaned his head against her as he struggled to keep it up.

Kimmy allowed him to lean his head against her, knowing he was so badly drugged that he could hardly function.

"I think we're gonna have to take you and Steve to the hospital." Kimmy told him, looking at the state he was in.

He had a large purple bruise on his cheekbone as well as on his jaw, his nose was covered in a crazy amount of dried blood. There were also splatters of dried blood all over his face, although it was mostly around his chin and mouth, his was lip burst quite badly and was coated in dried blood.

Kimmy frowned even more, literally feeling sick at the sight of him like that. All she knew was that she quite literally didn't want to ever see him look like that again. She didn't even like the thought of him with a bloody nose, never mind how badly he was hurt in that moment.

"I don't- I don't want to go to the hospital." Aaron told her quietly, his eyes closed as he muttered his words while he struggled to get them out due to how disoriented he was seeing how heavily he had been drugged. "I j-just want to see my mom."

Kimmy bit the inside of her cheek harshly at his words, frowning sadly at him. Knowing that his mom wasn't home, she was states away. He was quite literally the most hurt he had ever been in his life and was also drugged out of his mind, yet the only thing he had asked the girl was if he could see his mom.

Kimmy sighed, trying to think of what to say to comfort him. "I know you want to see your mom, but-"

"B-but she's not home. I know." Aaron slurred, nodding slowly as he spoke. There was a moment of silence before he began to laugh. "Guess what?"
