Chapter 11

We place Jonny on the couch. The doctor places my hand on Jonny's lower abdomen, and I close my eyes as I felt his blood soak my hand. "Ahh!" Jonny yells in stinging pain.

"Keep the pressure on it," the doctor says. He walks into the kitchen, scrambling through the drawers. Jonny grabbed my wrist.

"Sorry man," I whisper.

"I'm kicking your ass after this," he mumbled. I smile.

"Uhm, I need gauze and alcohol. Got any?" the doctor asked.

"Amber, go to the bathroom on the second floor and look on the bottom shelf," I say quickly. She rushes up the stairs.

The doctor pulled out a rag. "Lift your hand up," he places the rag on Jonny's wound. I place my hand back on it. "Pressure!" he shouted, causing me to push down harder. I saw a tear fall down Jonny's cheek. I laughed.

"Here," Amber handed his the gauze and alcohol.

"Great, what's your name?" he asked.

"Amber."

"And you?" he said pointing towards me with his free hand.

"Kyle."

"Alright, Amber and Kyle, it's about to get ugly. if you can't handle it, please leave," he suggested.

"Hold on wait, you're going to take that out by yourself?" Amber asks in horror, looking pale.

"Jonny won't make it to a hospital, I have to," he replies. "Now Kyle, move your hand please." I pulled away. Amber ran towards Jonny and held his hand. He pulled out a knife and poured the alcohol on it, he then poured it onto Jonny's wound.

"Fuck!" Jonny yelled.

"On three, exhale deeply," the doctor said. Jonny nodded.

"One..." my heart started to race. "Two..." Amber squeezed his hand. "Three..." the doctor pushed the knife into Jonny and pushed out a bullet. I watched it fall out.

Jonny started to scream as we all watch his blood spill. The doctor poured the rest of the alcohol onto it and placed a new rag on his wound. Jonny started to squirm a little. "Amber unwrap that gauze, and Kyle, help me lift him. Let's finish this," he grabbed some paper towel and folded it neatly. "Jonny, hold that on there," he said.

"Ready?" doc asks. Amber and I nod. I grabbed his legs and the doctor took his arms. "Now Amber," Amber started to wrap it around and around until there was none left.

"Done."

We place Jonny back on the couch. "You should be fine," he said. He picked up the bloody bullet and handed it to Jonny. "Keep this. it's your souvenir." he laughed.

"I don't know how I could repay you, Sir."

"I run a free clinic anyways, so it's fine. Here's my card though, just in case."

Jonny took the card. "Thank you, again," I say, walking him towards the door.

"Just try and keep out of trouble. I won't tell," he winked. "You kids have a good night." I shut the door and looked back at Jonny and Amber.

"I think he's gay," I snort. They burst out in laughter.

"Kyle, please don't make me laugh man," Jonny coughed.

Amber's POV

I walk back into the bedroom. "Jonny?" I shouted, searching for him.
