Raven Haired Boy (10k Love Story)

What have i done?

Tears welded up in my eyes, did i just k-kill him? I bent down to the folded body lying in the dark hall. I heard voices shouting. 10k was still breathing lightly, but he was bleeding out and the voices were getting closer and closer. I tried to move 10ks body to the closest room... The corpse filled room. I barely managed to drag 10ks into the room. I sat him up against the wall, ripped my top and wrapped it tightly around his wound to try stop the bleeding. He tries too keep his eyes open and sit up from the wall, but he struggles.

The footsteps slowed down as they approached the room. I took my knife and slowly turned the door handle i could only see one man by the door.

I jumped on him from behind and stabbed my knife into his head he fell to the ground with a thud. Then Warren came rushing upstairs and looked at my hands, they were covered in blood. 10ks blood.
I showed Warren 10k she ordered me to keep pressure on the wound while cleared the rest of the house. Doc came into the room holding his crow bar dripping in fresh blood. "Hey kid" he spoke gently as he examined 10ks wounds, dropping the crowbar with a rattle. Doc turns to me "check for a first aid kit". I scramble back down the stairs thumping down every step and swinging around the banister in the direction to the kitchen.

I start swinging open the drawers and cupboards: utensils, pots, food, plates, pasta, juice...

nothing... I then climb onto of the worktops feeling along the top of the cupboards, I feel a glass bottle, I grab the bottle down; tequila. I feel further along the top of the cabinets finding the little square box. Its red with a white cross I jump down from the work surface. 

I run up the stairs, whacking the door open. the light shines in through the slanted open blinds revealing 10ks bruised body, a bloody graze on his cheek and the stab wound on his side. Doc opens the first aid box finding a bandage and needle and thread. Doc takes out the needle and thread looking at me with uncertainty. 10k clocks the needle and thread, his eyes widen he throws his hand out uncontrollably grabbing the tequila and chugging in down. Then Doc takes the bottle and takes some too. he looks at me "just to take the nerve off" he lightly chuckles, 10k  stares at him, "I mean... iv done this plenty of times don't worry bud" he forces and unsure smile. Doc washes the wound out with alcohol, 10k grabs my arm gritting through the pain. 

Doc then threads the needle with an unsteady hand. 10ks adrenaline shoots through his weak body he tries to move away from the needle but he grows weak again and his eyes once again become heavier. "10k" I grab his face holding it up "look at me". Doc begins the stitches. 

 Doc patched him up.

"W-will he be okay?" I asked Doc with my voice unsteady, I try to hold back my feelings.
"Yeah, i cleaned up the wounds, the stab wound isn't that deep should be okay in a few days, but you don't look so good yourself your as pale as a ghost".
"I'm okay" i assured him.
"It was just an accident you know he's tough".
"I can leave if you's want"
"Why? Everybody makes mistakes, and you came back to tell us when you could have left thats what counts." Warren jumped in.

I thought about what Warren had said. Well i couldn't just leave leave him for dead could i?

"Okay, its getting late better tell Murphy to get back here" Warren then used her walkie talkie to talk to Murphy. Later Murphy pulls the car up outside bumping into the fence. It was Murphy of course to lazy to walk a 10 minute walk from where the car was originally parked. He entered the house and slammed the door. Making an entrance.

"did you just..." Warren raised her eyebrows

"it was only a scrape" Warren doesn't look amused "its the apocalypse for crying outloud." 

Cassandra  peers out the window trying to assess the damage of the cr.

"Okay, theres two bedrooms that me and Doc managed to clean up. 10k can take the bedroom." Warren said.
"I will take the other bedroom, you know incase the boy needs... uh medical attention" Doc spoke with a yawn.
"Okay someone needs to watch Murphy" Warren exclaimed.
Everyone just looked at Warren.
"Fine, we can take the couches" Warren sighed.
"I'll take the couches too i guess" Cassandra spoke.
"Astrid?" Warren said as she looked towards me.
"Em... I don't mind" i spoke quietly. guiltily.
"Well why don't you go with 10k, incase he needs help. Doc probably wouldn't wake up himself"
I slowly nod. great. just what I wanted as if it isn't awkward enough that I stabbed the guy.
