Broken

Blood

My memories were interrupted by the door opening and CJ stepping in. He quietly  shut the door and sat beside me. "Ok what happened."

I took a deep breathe and told him everything that happened.

"He hit you again!" CJ screamed as soon as I stopped talking. He jumped up and started pacing around huffing and muttering cuss words. I stood up and grabbed his shoulders, "C, stop I'm okay I promise. Hey, shh. Calm down." I tried to hush him and settle his nerves. He looked into my eyes and clenched his fists. Next thing I know his fist made contact with the wall behind him. He pulled his hand away and left a spot of blood running down the wall. I gasped and grabbed his hand and walked him to his bathroom that was connected to his room. I opened the door and made him sit down on the side of the bathtub. His bathroom was very pretty and clean, something you would never imagine a guy would have. The walls were chocolate brown and the ceiling and floor was white. His bathtub, toilet, and sink was a pale green that matched well with the room's theme. I opened the mirror above the sink and got out the first aid kit.  I opened it and grabbed the can of disinfectant spray. I told him to run his hand under the water while I shook the can. He did and turned back towards me. I opened the can and began to spray his cut knuckles. He hissed and flinched away. I playfully slapped his cheek and continued to spray him. This time he didn't hiss, but pouted. I laughed and wrapped a bandage around his hand and tied it. He looked up at me and held out his hand like a small child would. I rolled my eyes and kissed the bandage. He laughed and got up. I laid down in CJ's bed and Toby crawled on me. CJ laid next to me and began to pet Toby. "Tell me a story." CJ says out of no where. 

"Umm. Ok about what?"I said.

"I don't know. Tell me something about Toby."

"Did I ever tell you how he got his name?"

"No." CJ said and rolled over facing me. I smiled and began to tell the story.
