Spartans [FINISHED]

Song has nothing to do with it but whatever. And there's a 2 day jump. Peace out
Connor's POV What's her name at the desk let me have my phone back. "Hey Memphis." I called Memphis because John is not holding up well. His dad is staying longer and coming more often. He came in earlier today and might have broke something, John couldn't get up for at least and hour after his dad left. There is a crap ton of blood in the cell, I told them they should let John go, that he was gonna die in here. Literally he hasn't moved or said anything, he's starting to scare me. Sometimes when his dad comes in he's already passed out. They tell him when he's kicking his ass sometimes they're like 'don't you think the kid has had enough?' Then he just keeps doing what he was doing. Because the police are fuck all useless. "Hey, only two more days left. Yay! Is John holding on?" I sighed and told her he looked really sick, like REALLY sick. Like he let me take his helmet off and his face was white as paper, besides a black eye."You think he'll survive the next couple of days?" I look at John, who's passed out in the corner. "I don't know. I just hope he'll be with it enough when we get out that I won't have to carry him home." I was face timing her so she could see me and John. I walked over to John and shook him. He looks at me and coughs. "What is it?" I almost threw up hearing how bad he sounded. It sounded like he was dying right in front of me. "Memphis wants to see you." He looks at the phone and Memphis on the screen. He waved then coughed another few times. I pat him on the back and try to hide the 'please don't die on me.' face from Memphis. "Hi, John. Hold on for me, okay. Just two more days." He laid his head back on the wall and I heard the cops opening the cell door signaling that his dad was coming. "Alright I got to go. Bye." I hung up and shook John. He didn't move and I started freaking out. "John you've got to get up! Your dad's coming, come on! Who knows what he'll do to you if you're unconscious!" He sat up and looked at me. He went to take his helmet off when his dad came in. "Keep it on." His arms were crossed and the cop pulled me out. He locked me in the other cell and I watched his dad kick him in the gut again. I heard him coughing up the blood and that's when I blew. "Don't hurt him anymore! He can't take it!" John shot me a look. It was an 'I told you to keep your mouth shut, moron.' I covered my mouth and his dad laughed. "I wasn't planning on kicking his ass at my hardest today, but since you said that..." He turned back to John and kicked him as hard as he could. John slammed against the wall.  "AAH!!" John screamed and bent over. He tilted his helmet up and spit out a crap ton of blood. I don't know how much exactly but he did not look good afterwards. He could hardly hold himself up. "John!" I grabbed the bars of the cell and watched the puddle of blood under John's mouth spread out across the floor. John's dad picked him up and punched him as hard as he could in the face. John flew back and hit the wall. John tried to run or push his dad away but he just pushed him into a corner. He kept kicking John and he kept making a choking noise. The cops ran over and fumbled for the right key then unlocked the door. They ran in and grabbed his dad's arms. "Stop! The poor kid's choking on his own blood!" Choking on his own blood?! What the fuck! "What the hell is wrong with you!" I waited for John to give me another look, but when I looked at John and he had his hand on his throat. I kicked the door and once the officers got a hold of his dad they tossed me the keys. "Help your friend." I opened the door and ran to John. He kept making that choking noise. John's dad broke free of the guards grasp and grabbed John by the throat and he threw him into the bars. "Stop it, you mutated bastard!" I looked to the side of the cell and Memphis was standing there. "Memphis, y-you gotta r-run. He's going to k-kill you." He was choking it out, he was still grabbing his throat. She walked over to John and grabbed his hand. "R-run." I think it took everything John had left for him to say that because the grip he had on her hand loosened. "Oh god no." Memphis turned around and saw me. John was right, the Demi gorgan (dungeons and dragons reference. If you don't know what it is, it's like a two headed alien dragon thing.) took Memphis by the hand and threw her across the room. She hit the bars and blacked out. I look at a taser one of the guards dropped and I grabbed it. "Die you son of a bitch." I push the button and I watch the electricity run down the little wires and into him. He turned around and smacked me. I stumbled back and fall next to John, who was gasping for air. I look at John and then back at his dad. He brings out a pistol and aims it at us. I hear a bang but no ones screaming or falling over. I look over and John was standing beside me with a gun in his hand. I looked at his dad and blood soaked his shirt where his heart was supposed to be, there was just a hole there now. He looked down at it, then at John. "You finally killed me." His dad falls dead and I look at John. His hands were shaking, he made a weird spitting sound and fell to the floor. The gun hit the ground beside him. Me and Memphis run over and shake him. "John, John please wake up. You can't be dead. John wake up." Memphis was about to be in tears when I covered her eyes and I took John's helmet off and saw the blood on his face. I put it back on him and shake him again. I uncover Memphis's eyes and she runs off for a minute. I don't know how to check if someone's breathing or not, but I figured out a fast way. I held my phone up to his mouthpiece and he fogged up the glass. Not very much, but he fogged it up. I smiled, at least he's alive. Memphis came back and sat on the other side of John. "I called Rachel, she said they'd be here in about five minutes." I looked at her and our eyes both darted over to John when he coughed. Almost immediately after he coughed I watched blood drip down his neck. I felt the vomit rising up my throat and I ran to the bathroom and threw up. Memphis looked at me and she was tearing up when I got back. She was shaking John and grabbed his hand. "I won't tell." I say, she starts to cry and I walk back to where she was. "John won't be alive in five minutes." Memphis said pulling herself together. "What are you getting at?" She looks at me then the door. "Who's the fastest runner?" I told her I was slow as hell and she ran off to meet everyone halfway. John coughed again and even more blood spilled out of his helmet. I took his helmet off and put it aside. He coughed again blood shot out like a tiny eeny weeny fountain. He grabbed his tags and pulled them off. He handed them to me and when I took them his hand dropped. "John? John! JOHN! Oh please god no. John!" I start shaking him and he just lays there. I hold the phone up to his mouth and he doesn't fog it up. I drop my phone and push down on John's chest. Tears roll down my face, I look towards the door and there are civilians poking their heads through the doorway past the cops who were holding them back. "John!"  I shook my head and looked back down at John. I'm gonna remember this but I'm not telling anyone, it's going to be weird. I open John's mouth and pinch his nose shut. I bring my mouth to his and blow. I push on his chest a few more times when Memphis ran in with Rachel and I looked at John, the blood all over his face, and then back again. Rachel looked at us and ordered for us to get Daryl then leave. We told Daryl and his eyes widened. "Get back to base, NOW!" We nodded and sprint back to base. I realized that I was gripping John's tags so hard I got blood from my hand on them. "Did he give you his tags?" Memphis spun around and grabbed me by the collar. I showed them to her and she turned back facing base. "He knew he was gonna die." She ran her fingers through her hair and I nodded. She turned to me and hugged me. She started crying into my shoulder and I hugged her back. "Sh, hey it's ok. Spartans never die, remember?" I'm trying to comfort her but it's not working. "Tell that to Lin and Fred." Someone walks bye and asks if everything is okay and I nod. He look at the tags in my hand, then back at me. "I'm sorry." He puts a hand on my other shoulder. I nod again and Memphis gets off of me and walks to base. "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?!" Johnson shouted in our face as we walked in. I showed him John's tags and Johnson nodded. "God damn it." He walks away and someone bangs on the door. I open it and it's Daryl with John in his arms. I raise an eyebrow at him and he nods. John's alive, JOHNS ALIVE! Holy shit! He walks into the med room with Rachel. I turn to Memphis and she's smiling. "YES!" We scream and Daryl pokes his head out of the med room. "SH!" We nod and walk to the bunkers. I put John's tags on his bunk and look at them one last time. That was close. Me and Memphis wait outside the med room when Rachel walks out. I stand up then look at her bloody hands. "Is t-that his b-blood?" She looks down and puts her hands back. "Uh, yes. But he's okay! Promise!" I nod and Memphis tries to sneak a look, then Rachel catches her. "Memphis, want to help me bring him up the stairs? You can help too Connor. She put her finger over her mouth as we walked in. John was laying there with his helmet on and I smiled. Memphis quietly moved over to John. She tilted his helmet then kissed him. Then she grabbed his arm and carefully lifted up his head. He groaned and she froze. Everyone stopped what they were doing then whispered be careful to her and she nodded. I walked over to help and I picked up his other arm and put it around my shoulder like Memphis. We helped him off the table and he moaned in pain. He still wasn't awake, but apparently he could feel that. "Sorry!" I whispered and helped him up the stairs. When we got to his bunk, me and Memphis laid him down after I moved his tags to where his phone was. Memphis tilted his helmet and kissed him again. He smiled and Memphis pulled his helmet back into place. "Let's wait here, you know, until he wakes up." I whispered and Memphis nodded. She held his hand and I leaned against the wall. I fell asleep and I think Memphis did too. We woke up when John groaned again. "Connor? Memphis?" I sat up and went over to him. "Yeah, it's us. Memphis and Connor." I smile and he tries to sit up. "AH!" He grabbed his side and fell back. "Easy, you literally JUST woke up. You probably won't be able to move a lot yet." Memphis smiles then I notice she had a bloody nose. I put my finger below my nose and she did the same. She saw the blood on her nose and slowly walked into the bathroom. She came out like, two seconds later and the blood was gone. "You okay?" John whispered and Memphis nodded. "You're asking if she's okay but you're the one who's heart almost stopped." I chuckle and John laughs a little before grabbing his side again. "Ow, it hurts to laugh." John sat up and held his side. He put his head down and Memphis took his hand. "What's the matter? Besides being in pain." I tilted my head to the right and wrapped my arm around his shoulder. "I killed someone."
"You were defending me." He looked at me like what he did wasn't justified, but it was, he tried to kill me!
"But I killed him!" His voice started getting shaky and I shook my head.
"Spartans are made to kill." Memphis looked at the door and stood up.
"Yeah, aliens. Not people-" I cut him off and he turns his head to me.
"John, he probably healed by now. Didn't you say he was a mutant weirdo?"
He stood up and messed up my hair. "I guess you're right." He started walking to the door and we followed. He stumbled and we grabbed his arm. "You alright?" I said helping him up. He groaned and nodded. "Just starting to feel the pain." He stands up and we walk to the door. "Wait, my tags." He turned around and I grabbed them. "Here." I stretched out my hand, John grabbed them and put them back on.
