A Cure for the Cure.

Chapter 32

   It is lunch time, you and Newt go see Frypan for some food. He gives you both plates and you get food, you only get strawberries. Newt puts mashed potatoes on your plate.
"I'm not that hungry." you tell him.
"Please."
"I'll nibble them." You tell him.
He smiles and you sit down on the grass. You start to talk.
"I did a bad thing." You tell him looking down at the ground.
        "What did you do?"
        "You know how there is a navy blue notebook in our r-room?"
        Newt looks nervous. "Yes?"
        "I thought it was a drawing book. I read it."
        "I'm so sorry." Newt tells you while looking away.
        "I feel the same way." You say as Newt quickly looks back at you.
        "You do?"
        "Yes." You tell him.
        You look over to the forest and see Chuck sitting all alone. Chuck sees you. You feel bad and call him over. He quickly runs over to you and plops right in between you and Newt.
        "Why were you sitting alone?" you ask.
        "I didn't know who to sit with. Chuck tells you.
        "Chuck you can always sit with Y/n and I." Newt tells him.
        "Thank you. When do you guys finish work for the winter?" Chuck asks.
        "We're done!" you tell him.
        "Yay! Does that mean you can play more?"
        "It s-sure does!" Newt tells him.
        You all eat then talk for a bit. Clint comes over.
        "Y/n how's your leg feeling?" he asks.
        "It is sore but I can walk."
        "When you have a moment do you mind coming to the medjack hut so we can clean it?"
        "I'm done eating so I can go now." you offer.
        "Sure." He says helping you stand.
        Chuck and Newt both stand up and go with you. Newt tells Chuck he can't come in as no one knows what to expect. The medjacks un-wrap your leg and see that the infection has spread to your foot. Shocked, they start to ask questions.
        "Have you walked anywhere barefoot lately?" Jeff asks
        "N-no."
        "I'm just going to put some pressure on your foot tell me how it feels."
        He starts to apply pressure and it hurts, not a lot but it hurts more than it should.
"How does that feel?" Jeff asks.
"Uncomfortable."
"Okay, and how about now?" He asks while pressing on a very infected area.
"Oww stop, that really hurts."
He immediately removes the pressure. He sits and thinks. Clint looks at it and pulls Jeff out of the room to talk. You look at Newt with tears in your eyes. He comes over and hugs you.
"It'll be okay. Just stay strong for me." He tells you crouching in front of you.
"I'm scared. What if they can't fix it?" You ask him.
"I'm sure that t-they can."
        The medjacks come back in.
"Okay, so what we are going to do is make a small cut where the infection is and see what's going on. A piece of metal could have been pushed into your foot. We just want to check." Clint tells you and Newt.
"WHAT? YOU'RE GOING TO DO WHAT TO MY FOOT?"
"Y/n, Y/n, hey it's okay they did that to my entire leg when I broke it to see what was wrong." Newt tells you.
("So that's what that scar is from?" you ask.
"Yes" Newt gets cut off by Jeff
"Y/n why and how do you know that?"
"I've seen it."
"Y/n, it's on his thigh."
"And?"
You blush, Jeff smerks and Newt looks very uncomfortable.)
"Will it hurt?" You ask Newt.
"Everyone is different, but you are strong, you will be okay."
"Okay, you can do it." You tell the medjacks.
They start to get ready, Newt is holding your hand. They come over and give you a needle. You pass out.
"Uhh, she just passed out. Was that supposed to happen?" Newt asks.
"Nope. it's okay she's in shock, meaning she was so scared that she passed out." Clint tells Newt.
Jeff starts to cut open your foot. He sees metal and removes it. Clint wipes blood away. He removes a few more very small pieces. There is one piece left; he removes it and it is perfectly spherical. You suddenly wake up and gasp
"JEFF! PLEASE I CHANGED M-MY MIND! PLEASE DON'T DO IT-" You pass out looking at your foot.
"Anddd she's gone." Clint says laughing.
"Look at this. That's not from the box." Jeff says dabbing your foot with a cloth to stop the bleeding.
Newt looks over. Clint rinses it in a bucket of water.
"What is it?" Newt asks.
"I don't know. Whatever it is, it was in there for years. It did not want to come out." Jeff says stitching you up.
"I wonder if Y/n will know." Newt says.
"Maybe. If she remembers." Clint says.
Jeff starts to re-wrap your leg and says
        "She's lucky she's passed out, she won't remember much. Newt you can wake her."
        He finishes and pulls your pant leg back down. Newt goes over to you and taps your shoulder to try and get you to wake up. You wake up and just lay there. Then say
        "Can you please tell Jeff not to open up my foot, he won't listen to me. He's so mean"
        "Uhh." He looks at Jeff "I think Jeff has bigger problems to worry about."
        "Yeah, like this metal ball."
        "What metal ball?" you ask.
        He walks over to you and shows you it.
        "Does this remind you of anything?"
        You freeze and your pupils dilate. You explode.
        "WAIT PLEASE! N-N-N-N-NO! NO! STOP! DON'T LOAD IT! STOP! AHHHH! GET AWAY FROM ME! DEEDEE DID THAT TO ME! PLEASE DON'T SHOOT ME AGAIN..."
