I woke up to the sun in my face. I'm late for school. It hurts. My whole body hurts. I can't go to school today. Damn it Diesel. I try to look around but it hurts too much. I just let the darkness take over me again.
-time skip-
I wake up again. But this time to see Reece sitting next to my bed with a worried look and Quin not too far from her. Reece smiles when she sees my eyes open and hugs me tight and I groan in pain.
"Be careful Reece..he seems to be in pain.."
Quin watches me with a worried look as well. Reece moves away and walks to the bathroom.
"Who did this to you Kirt..?"
Quin kneels next to my bed. Should I tell her..? I sit up, groaning in pain as I do. I forget I don't have a shirt on. Reece comes in with a glass of water and a rag but when she sees the bites on my chest from Diesel she drops the glass, breaking it, and she goes pale. She runs over to me and starts crying.
"W..why did you let him do this to you Kirt?!"
Reece cries as she knows who it was and what he did. I guess cause she's been though it herself..
"What do you mean Reece? Kirt tell me what happened."
Quin looks at us both concerned.
"We can't tell you Quin... I can take care of Kirt."
Reece sits by me on the bed and wipes the bites on my chest with the warm rag, causing me to flinch but I let her. The door opens slowly. Diesel comes in, glares at me and Reece then softens his gaze when he looks at Quin. Quin stands and looks at him. I feel Reece tense up and press harder on my wounds and I grab her hand. Stopping her, both out of comfort and stopping the pain she caused.
"Hey Kirt. Reece. Quin."
He grins like nothing happened. Why..?
"Cut the crap Diesel. Do you know who did this to Kirt? You are his room mate after all."
Quin crosses her arms waiting for an answer.
"No. I was at Boss's room. I ran out of smokes and so I went to his room. I guess we got..carried away in the night."
"Ok. Then I'll go talk to him to see if he knows anything."
"No.."
Reece looks at Quin with a stern look. They stare at each other for a while.
"Fine. "
Quin walks over to my dresser, grabs a shirt and some pants, then throws it at me.
"Get dressed. You need to come to dinner and eat at least."
Quin glares at Diesel then grabs his arm and pulls him outside, closing the door behind them. I look at Reece.
"It's better me than you.."
I manage to whisper. She looks at me concerned then stands and holds out her hands for me. I take her hands and slowly stand, in pain the whole time. She Unfolds my pants and hands them to me.
"It hurts doesn't it..? Emotionally and physically..."
She sighs.
"We'll tell Quin and Grim..then we'll tell the principal..ok..?"
I nod and slowly put on my pants, pain shooting through me with every move. Just standing still hurts. I put on my shirt as well, getting used to moving around with pain. Reece takes my hand and walks slowly with me to dinner. Quin and Diesel already went I guess. I sit down at the table and Reece goes to get our food.
"Why weren't you in class Kirt?"
Grim looks a little concerned.
"Shut up Grim."
Boss glares at me and Grim then goes to get his food.
"Grim, me and Reece..need to talk..to you and Quin..in Reece's room...after dinner..ok? Just..us."
I look at him seriously and worry fills his face more.
"Ok.."
Reece comes back and sets my food in front of me and hers in front of her.
"Thank you Reece.."
I slowly start eating but stop when Diesel and Quin sit down, laughing. I feel Diesel's gaze on me and I look down at my food. Reece puts her hand on my thigh under the table. I look at her and she nods at me and rubs my thigh, trying to comfort me. I nod and look back down at my food. Nibbling on my food more than eating it. Reece keeps her hand on my thigh the whole time and Diesel keeps his gaze on us. I decided not to eat much, pushed my food away and put my head down on the table, waiting for it to be over.
