Kickdrum Beating in My Chest Again (Alternate Version)

Chapter 106

!!!!!!!!!!Author's Note!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Everyone! Happy Friday! I hope everyone had a good week. I had my surgery yesterday and now I'm home resting. If you are wondering what the surgery was for, it was a breast reduction. I've had a large chest my whole life and they were starting to cause problems for me. I had severe neck, shoulder, and back pain from it, it was a lot of weight to hold up every day (like 10.5 lbs), severe irritation underneath them which made wearing bras painful, and I had a raging infection underneath them last summer that ate up my whole summer before we figured out what it was and began treating it. It turned out to be eczema and has cleared up now. All these things contributed to my insurance covering it, otherwise we couldn't have afforded to do this. If I'm medicated, the pain is manageable, if not, it's pretty bad. I am happy with the results and already feel like I'm sitting and standing up straighter.

This week is a kind of info heavy. Patrick and Joe meet Clark who takes them to sick bay after their attack in the shower room. Spencer begins examining Patrick when Gabe walks in, sees Patrick, and asks what happened. Joe tells him and Gabe asks if they knew who they were. They say that they remember their faces, so Gabe asks them to write down anything they remember and that he would take care of it. Gabe compels Spencer to forget they were there and Clark that he had a normal day. Gabe heals Patrick and urges them to write down anything they remember about who attacked them and that he'd send Brad to come get them. Patrick explains what happened last night.

As always, enjoy, tell your friends and if you like it, feel free to leave me kudos or a comment! Happy reading!

Chapter 106

*******Trigger Warning for Mentions of Graphic Violence, Torture, *******

Patrick and Joe are the last ones out of the shower room, making it very easy to locate Clark. He has his back to them, so he doesn't see the state of either of them. Patrick looks way worse than Joe does, and all the bruising is starting to ache. His legs and feet hurt from kicking the two inmates and his right hand is throbbing right now from all the punching including the one where he knocked out assault guy. Both his eyes hurt and it's giving him a splitting headache. His nose is still bleeding and the split in his lip hurts a lot. They approach moving slowly and approach Clark.

"Hello Clark." Joe greets.

Clark turns around with a smile on his face only for it to change into a look of horror.

"Oh my God! What the hell happened? Are you two ok?" Clark asks, surprised.

"The short story is that an inmate tried to take advantage of Patrick's injured state, and it's not the first time he's tried that either. When Patrick dislocated his shoulder, the same guy tried to assault him, but I fought him off. This time, the guy brought some friends to help. While I was busy fighting them, two other inmates went after Patrick, who isn't as skilled in fighting as I am. He managed to fight them off, but not before they'd beaten him pretty badly." Joe answers.

Patrick really wasn't in the mood to talk, so he's happy that Joe is explaining what happened.

"That's terrible! Are you ok, Patrick?" Clark asks.

"Yes. I'm very bruised, but it looks worse than it is. We should probably go to sick bay though for me to get checked out, just in case my injuries are worse than I think they are." Patrick replies.
