Please Be Okay

(word count: 628)

Scarlett runs into the warehouse with Angel and Cherri following close behind. They see Husk laid on the floor naked groaning and grumbling. Cleocatra is next to him panicking and trying to keep him conscious. Angel's eyes immediately tear up.

Angel: *runs and kneels next to Husk* "Husk! Fuck! Are you okay?!?"

Cherri and Scarlett slowly approach sharing concerned looks with Cleocatra.

Cherri: *gulps and looks at the cat sinner* "do you know what happened?"

Cleocatra: *hands are very shakey and she shakes her head* "I found him like this...." *wipes tears from eyes* "I wish I got here sooner.... "

Scarlett: *immediately kneels down next to Cleocatra and hugs her* "don't worry..... He'll be okay.... You couldn't have known he'd have been in here getting......" *looks at Husk's body trying to ignore the obvious SH scars*

Cherri: *kneels next to Angel and puts her jacket over Husk's lower half* "Don't worry Angel we'll..... Help him"

Angel: *gently puts his hand on Husk's cheek and he flinches* "Husk.... Please tell me you can hear me...." *cries as Husk flinches more*

Cherri: *tries to look at Cleo and scarlett to see if they have any ideas of what to do*

Scarlett: *takes a deep breathe trying to remain calm and keep a clear mind* "we need to get him back to the hotel."

Cherri: *nods at Scarlett and gives Angel a soft look* "let's get him safe first..... We can worry about what happened later....."

Angel: *nods holding back any more tears* "mhm" *tries to pick up Husk but he struggles* "Husk please...... Please it's me" *desperately tries to keep him in his arms*

Husk keeps struggling and Cherri tries grabbing his wrists to stop him from scratching Angel but it just makes Husk panic more and Angel is forced to let Husk fall on the floor.

They all look down at Husk who's shaking and crying on the floor. They all desperately try to get him to respond or acknowledge their words. Husk just stares at them like he's trying to figure out who they were. Scarlett carefully puts her hand on Husk's shoulder trying to calm him down. Husk flinches and hisses extremely loud causing them to cover their ears. Husk then begins coughing up some blood and throws up before passing out. Angel hesitates and says he doesn't want to pick Husk up if Husk was clearly not liking it.

Scarlett sighs and gets a wheelbarrow. Cherri and Scarlet carefully puts him in the wheelbarrow and wheel him to the hotel into his room. They carefully put him on the bed and manage to get boxers on him. They are all mostly silent. Cleo is trying to clean up Husk's face as Scarlett tries to make sure Husk is breathing. Angel is just by the door staring blankly trying to wrap his head around everything.

Cherri: *gently puts her hand on Angels arm* "Hey Angie?"

Angel: *looks at Cherri* "Chaz has to be the cause of this...... I'm gonna.... Gonna" *eyes start to tear up*

Cherri: *hugs Angel* "don't worry......"

Angel: *cries into Cherri's shoulder* "what if Chaz....." *gulps* "what if Chaz.... Like assaulted him....."

Cherri: *strokes the back of Angel's head* "don't worry.... We'll all be there for him..... You especially"

Angel: *nods* "I just.... I didn't want Husk to ever experience what I have..... I..... " *breaks down crying*

Cherri holds him close. Scarlett and Cleocatra nod at eachother and say that they'll return at some point to check up on Husk. They said to call them if needed and that they will always be available. Cherri nods at them as Angel keeps crying into her.

After an hour, they both end up falling asleep on Husk's floor as Husk remains unconscious on his bed.
