It was on mistake. Josh never meant to go out that late at night, never meant to run into the gang, never meant to spoil the head members jacket but he had and he had now paid the price.
The fight was short. Josh only threw 1 punch and the punched had missed them all but the 7 members had soon had him in a head lock and trapped in their grip as the head member threw punches to his groin, his stomach and his head. His nose was surely broken as the older man’s fist rammed into it.
Most of it he was knocked out for but was fully knocked out when the knife blade pushed through his side, missing his kidneys by inches. Once the knife was in him, the boys removed the knife and ran away, leaving Josh to bleed alone.
Josh had thought of a pray, a pray for someone to find him but also a pray for George to move on if he wasn’t found. He took a final look at the world as a blurry figure stood in front of him “Are you okay?”. With that spoken to him. He passed out.
He next woke up to hear sobbing next to him, a doctor looking at the sobbing figure and the heart monitor beeping more to say he was awake. His eyes were sore, his head was heavy and the figure next to him turned out to be George who began crying more when Josh looked to him.
“Josh! You’re awake, baby. Take it easy baby, please, you’re awake!”
Josh looked as the doctor called for backup with 2 nurses entering and looking at him. He was really just staring around, wondering what had happened, he couldn’t remember anything fully but he was alive and still here with George.
George was made to leave, the 19 year old was kicking and screaming not to but slowly left so the doctors could make sure he was fully okay. They checked his body and the line near his pelvis which was now stitched up. He sat up slightly and checked himself out in the mirror to see his nose being a mix of black, red and purple with under his eyes being the same colour. His looks were gone for sure now.
They allowed him to get settled before bringing him a drink of water before slowly bringing George back in whose curls were messy since he had been throwing his hands in his hair quite a lot. He had wet eyes and the boy almost ran towards his bed and into the chair near him. The younger boy's eyes were running as he took Joshua’s hand into his “I love you Josh and I’m so sorry you got hurt, I’m so sorry!”
Josh looked to him before letting out a weak smile and just moving his hand softly and squeezing the boys hand. “Stop crying, wasn’t your fault... My own” He laughed slightly as he rested his head back a bit more into the pillow.
George however didn’t see it as Josh’s fault and just looked at him even more upset “It was my fault! It was honestly mine, I told you to get a pint of milk at 12:30 in the morning. I wish this never happened, look at you, you got stabbed and you was bleeding, the lady who called up the ambulance was caked in your blood, I had it on me, Joshua you could have died!”
The tears were fully pouring down the younger boy’s cheeks as Josh pulled him closer and wiped his cheeks “But I didn’t die though... Me here and safe, got you and just need to heal fully”
George shook his head though “You’re hurt, I caused it but never again, I’m keeping you on lock and key and watching what you’re doing.
The older boy just sighed and looked to George who was pretty much over reacting “George, wanna know the worse bit about this?” The boy nodded wondering what he meant “We got no milk for our Oreo’s still.”
The younger boy let out a light laugh as he just cuddled the older boys arm “I love you baby” they laughed softly together as Josh leaned over and held his cheek as he just cuddled him but George looked to him with soft eyes. “Baby, please don’t get hurt again.”
Josh smiled slightly as he just cuddled him and grinned at him even more “I never wanted to get hurt and I love you baby.”
The two boys kissed but Josh soon was hissing “Can you please remove your hand from that area” George looked down to see his hand was close to the stitches but soon enough he had actually removed letting out a small giggle before going back into a kiss with Josh.
Maybe this wasn’t that bad at all.
