John!! Oh no! I did this... I did this... No... John.. Big brother...
I thought these things horrified and shocked as I knelt beside my big brothers body. He's still breathing. I sighed softly in relief and dragged him up out of the water a little ways almost to the tree, trying my best not to hurt him anymore. At least your breathing right now. I hope my emt classes will come in handy... I got up and picked up some of the moss by the stream and soaked it. Walking back to Bubby I knelt down next to his body and started cleaning. It's just his shoulder... soft tissue. Good it missed his heart. but he's burning up. As I kept cleaning him up he moaned in pain and I jumped back. Looking at his face I saw he was still passed out so I pushed him gently to his side so I could look at his chest. It didn't go through... I have to dig the bullet out of his shoulder... Oh boy. Readying myself I looked at his back worriedly. "It's ok. Just do what you have to do. I'll be ok." John said and made me jump looking instantly to his face. "You sure?? I mean it's gonna hurt a lot... And I don't want you in pain..." I said trailing off. He smiled his hundred grand smile "it's ok sis. I can handle it." he said that and rolled to his stomach bracing himself. "Ok" I mumbled and cleaned the fresh blood up that had drizzled out when he moved. Ok I have to do this. Readying myself I looked down at his bullet wound and placed my left hand on the middle of his back.
I felt his breath quicken and I put my right hand lightly on his wound. My mind blanked as I listened to him muffle his screams.
After a while John lay sleeping as I tore some of the shirt I wore off and made it into a makeshift bandage. I watched over him as he slept. It's almost night and I'm pretty sure that steploser is probably looking for us... He would never let us get away. He made mom run away and never come back though... Maybe he will forget about us... Please please let that be what he does... I looked up at the New stars in the sky and thought of how peaceful it was. I hadn't thought till now how bloody and beaten we both were and how I was only wearing bubby's shirt. "I need some clothes..." I said just under a whisper as I leaned back on the cedar tree drinking in it's sweet smell. It was about then that I fell asleep, slipping into a dream about bubby being a superhero and saving me from a devil.
