From Crutchie To Wheels (And a Little Les Trouble)

The Second Accident

(As you can tell I just love writing about hurting people...)

They jumped a little. "I didn't know the crip could be so mean. Just for that, I think I'll break your other arm!" Morris screamed back as he lunged toward me and Les...

Narrator's POV (because no one stays long enough in this to stay with one person's POV)

As the Delancys lunged toward the two frightened boys, Les whipped Wheels's wheelchair around and bolted off. With the Delancys hot on their trail, Les decided to jump on the back of the wheelchair because he thought he could go down a hill and get away from them. As soon as he got on the back of the chair, they started zooming down the hill, leaving the Delancys far behind. As they were celebrating getting away from them, Les got distracted and forgot to get off of the chair to stop them.

Before they knew it, they had smacked full speed into a brick wall. Les had flown off of the back of the wheelchair and smacked into the wall before Wheels. Les's head was the first thing that hit. He had a huge bloody gash on his forehead and scrapes and smaller gashes on his knees and hands. He passed out immediately upon hitting the wall. Wheels was different though. He smacked the wall, too, but his bad arm hit the wall first and his head hit his arm. With his cast being a hard one, it didn't really take much impact away from his head. His shoulder was popped out of place from the impact. His knees were all bloodied and his bad leg felt like it was on fire. He started to twitch uncontrollably on the floor. His wheelchair was fine, except for the seat was a little ripped.

Obviously this made a scene, and people immediately ran over to them to see what had happened. Some people were trying to call a hospital while others were trying to help the boys. A few were trying to wake up Les, who was heavily breathing, while more were trying to talk to Wheels. Wheels was very hard to talk to as he was having a mini seizure, his head was pounding and his arm, shoulder, and leg had now been injured even further than before. No sounds were able to escape his mouth except for the occasional moan, scream, or whimper whenever someone touched him or he had a violent twitch.

This gave the Delancys time to catch up to them. They ran over to the scene and pretended that they were friends with Les and Wheels.

"Oh my gosh what happened to them!" Morris screamed trying his best to sound concerned.

Some random person panted, "They came flying down that hill screaming and then crashed right into that wall. Do you know them?"

Oscar budded in before Morris could say anything, "Yeah. We're best friends, brothers practically. Me and my brother's dad here doesn't want us hanging around them, though, because he thinks that people like us should not be hanging out with street rats like them. But we didn't listen to our father and snuck out anyway to see them. We were playing tag and we were "it" and then the little one ran away pushing the one with the cast and before we knew it they were going down a hill and there was nothing we could do to stop them." Oscar looked half concerned and half pleased with himself that he was able to make up such a lie so quickly. But the people believed him.

"We can take them back to their home and see what the doctor can do for them."

Wheels was still concious during Oscar's whole explanation and was trying to tell everyone that it wasn't true, but the only thing that could escape his mouth was a few loud whimpers that everyone took for as a sign of him agreeing with Oscar.

Most of the crowd had dispersed by now because the sight was too much to bare, and only a few other passerbys were left on the street. A few of them helped get Wheels back into his chair, practically dragging his still consious, twitching body across the ground and plopped him in the chair. Even the slightest movement shot pain through his whole body, so moving completely made him scream bloody murder.

The Delancys picked up Les and dropped his unconcious, limp body across Wheels, making sure that Les landed on Wheel's throbbing arm. Wheels had no energy left in his body to make noise. The Delancys thanked the passerbys for their help and walked off, pushing the two boys with them.

"Now listen here you little street rats," Morris snickered, whipping out his famous brass knuckles...
