Rapid Reactions (A Mindless Behavior Story)

It's a Small, Ironic World

Previously: (YN) wakes up to Prod in her room and she feels uncomfortable at first but they talk and she grows to enjoy his company, they discuss the night before and she realises that he’s a very closed up person. She doesn’t it when she discovers that he believes that he is alone when he is surrounded by love, that he is the only person she has never been able to fully understand. When he leaves her in bed confused, she falls back asleep to the sound of the rest of the boys coming back inside from their smoke. Meanwhile, Holy wakes up in hospital again but when she notices that Khalil is out she begs her nurse to let her use her phone to talk to her sister… (YN)

*HOLY’S POV*

I touched the end button on the phone and sighed deeply in relief, I let my eyes roll back and started to feel less tense, but when Aaron cleared his throat I shot my head back at him in shock for I had forgotten he was present. He raised his eyebrow in confusion and I put my head back down, I sighed again but not in relief, he walked towards me and touched my shoulder. I looked up to him with an innocent look and he responded with a sympathetic look, he really might of saved my life as well as my leg but I didn’t want to involve him with Khalil because I couldn’t risk him telling the police… I didn’t want their drama. I looked down to my leg which looked pale and dry, I was confused to why my cast had been removed after a day but what was more confusing was why I was here. My thigh had black stitched closing where the glass had stabbed me, and the leg itself looked to be a disgustingly purple colour.

Aaron: it’s better than it looks, your leg will be fine, I don’t know why it was in a cast it’s not even broken.

Me: it felt that way

I croaked out and he jumped as if he wasn’t expected to hear my voice again, he smirked a little and it reminded me of someone but I couldn’t figure out whom. He was a very handsome man, looked to be about my age but I couldn’t get the idea that I knew him out of my head, he glanced into my eyes as if he was trying to figure me out.

Aaron: well I don’t know who did the cast for you but it doesn’t look to have ever been broken, however the doctor did mention that you punctured your muscle slightly so that might have impacted your leg movement, it has healed itself because of how small the piercing was but we still need to run some tests and see if you can walk again.

Me: how long will I be here?

Aaron: at the very least a week

Me: Khalil would never allow that, I’m leaving tonight…

Aaron: I don’t understand

Me: obviously

 I said in irritation, I couldn’t believe that the nurse was insinuating that I might not be able to walk, I could feel my leg and I could move it but the pain I felt the last time I stood without support was evil, I didn’t think I’d ever be able to hack that kind of pain again. He saw the worried look in my face and gave me a reassuring smile, I looked at him again and started to realise that I must have seen him in my life time, and his face was too familiar for it to be a mistake.

Me: do I… I feel like I’ve met you before

Aaron: I was waiting for you to realise… Chresanto’s sixteenth birthday bash, Diggy introduced me to you but you were a little drunk so…

Me: no… I vaguely remember you, you’re his cousin… Marcus’s little brother right?

Aaron: wow I can’t believe you remember

Me: well I wasn’t that drunk, honestly… but you’ve done good for yourself, I could tell you was smart

Aaron: I didn’t mean it in that way, I just meant the beautiful girls never used to notice me they would go Chres or Marcus.
