Dustin Henderson X Reader

I'll Help You

Your POV

"Dustin!" I said squealed running to him, he had fallen to the ground. I dropped to my knees and took hold of his hand. He was covered in blood and tears.

"Six..." He mumbled, his breathing was weak.

"You're okay," I said placing his head in my lap. He winced as he moved.

"I'm sorry... I was s-" I cut him off before he could continue.

"I understand." A tear fell down the side of his cheek.

"I love you." My heart began to race. I loved Dustin back, but this wasn't the time, I needed to get him to someone. I couldn't carry him to Mike's house. The closest place we could get to was Will's.

"We have to go..." He nodded. I pulled his arm around my neck and tried to stand him up. I tried placing my arm on his side. He groaned.

"M-My ribs..." He stumbled.

"It's okay, I'll think of something else." What was I gonna do? I couldn't get him to move without hurting his ribs or being rough on his cuts.

Mike's POV

"This is where she's been staying!" Will announced.

"Then where are they?" Lucas replied I looked around searching each room. There were zero signs of forced entry, and there didn't look like there was any struggle. Everything looked normal.

"Maybe they're sucking face somewhere..." Will said looking to Lucas. Finally, I looked in Will's bedroom.

"I wouldn't count on that... You might wanna see this." I stumbled. Will's bedroom had been torn apart, and his pillow and blankets were blood covered. Everything had been destroyed. "I don't think Dustin ever showed up."

Your POV

I had finally maneuvered a way for me to get Dustin to walk, without hurting him. We walked for awhile and stopped every few minutes. As we walked, I realized he had dried tears still on his face. It broke my heart to realize all the pain he was in.

"Dustin?" I muttered. He looked my way, turning all his attention to me. "I'm sorry I wasn't there sooner..." I couldn't help, but to feel guilty. If I had gotten there sooner, he wouldn't have had his ribs kicked and his neck sliced.

"Sorry?" He replied with a look of confusion. I nodded in shame... "y/n, you saved my ass. I could've bled to death alone in the woods... You saved my life." He leaned in and kissed my cheek, they began to burn. I smiled slightly. After a few minutes, Dustin began to slow down. "Do we need to stop?"

"Yes..." He groaned, taking hold of his ribs. I helped him approach a tree to lean on.

"What can I do?" I said sitting him down on the forest floor.

"We just need to keep moving... Get to Will's house as soon as possible." He said standing back up after his few seconds of stillness.

"No, you need to rest," I replied grabbing his hand. He ignored my protests and continued to power through. I couldn't stop him from going; so I again maneuvered him and we continued to walk through the forest. 

Time Skip >> 

After a few miles, we finally reached Will's house. In front of the house, sat the rest of the guy's bikes. Slowly we walked up the faded, white porch. Dustin struggled to move his leg up enough, he winced as we moved forward.

"Stand here..." I said placing him against the house. I open the door silently and peaked my head inside. There was no sign of the boys, I opened the door as wide as it would go. "Come on," I said taking a hold of Dustin. I helped him wobble down the hall and opened Will's bedroom door.

"Jesus Christ!" I heard a voice yell from behind us. Startled I let go of Dustin, he fell down to the floor, landing on his side. He groaned in agony. I turned around to see the what had startled me so much. "We thought you guys died!" It was Mike, he had a surprised expression written all over his face. I dropped to my knees and helped Dustin onto the bed. Quickly I heard the loud stomps of the others. I walked toward the boys.

"What happened?!" Will asked looking at Dustin and myself. Lucas said nothing for once he just stood silent and stunned.

I... Uh. I-I, um." I couldn't find my words... I stumbled over and over, it went on non-stop! "He... U-Uh."

"Troy..." Dustin said clutching his ribs.

"That bastard!" Mike exclaimed approaching the bed. " What did he do this time!?"

"He had his mouthbreather of a friend kick my ribs in and he took a knife to my neck. He got me pretty good... " Dustin pointed at the large cut on his neck. "Six got there before he could do much worse."

"What'd she do?" Will asked looking to me, I looked back at him with a blank expression and shrugged.

"She saved me..." He said smiling. The boys all looked at me as I blushed.

"How bad are his ribs?" Lucas asked nudging me with his shoulder.

"I don't know... He wouldn't let me look, he said we needed to get to Will's house." Each and every single boy turned to Dustin with a vexing look. He turned pale and avoided eye contact.

"Well... We have to look, if it's serious we have to tell Will's mom and take him to the hospital." Mike announced. Dustin's eyes widened.

"Son of a bitch." He slurred. I approached the mattress and sat next to Dustin. I looked to him for confirmation as I placed my hand on his stomach. He nodded and looked up at the ceiling.

Slowly I lifted his shirt. All along his stomach and rib cage was badly bruised and discolored. Not only my eyes, but all the boy's eyes had widened at the sight.

I ran my fingertips along his rib cage, feeling the bones. Almost three of them felt like they had shattered. I put his shirt down and began to investigate the cut. It looked like it was almost oozing, and heat wafted from the wound, I looked to the boys.

"I think he might have broken three ribs, he's extremely bruised, and he lost a lot of blood. Plus his cut looks infected... He needs a doctor." I muttered.

"I'll go call my mom." Will said exiting the room.

"Lucas?" I asked. He looked to me. "I need to clean the cut." He nodded and left. For a few moment, we stood silent.

"Six?" I heard I turned my head Mike looked to me. "He's gonna be okay... Right?" I nodded and looked to Dustin. His breathing had increased, and he was sweating. I placed my hand on his forehead.

"You're burning up..." I whispered. "Mike, help me sit him up." Together Mike and I picked him up and sat him against the headboard. Lucas then entered the room with a small red bag, he placed it in my hand. "Mike? Which one of these will clean out the infection?"

"Um... This one." He gave me a small packet that read "Disinfectant", I ripped it open and took out a small wipe and began to wipe away the blood.

"Something to dry it?" I asked, looking to Mike. He took out a small cotton wipe and I dried out the cut. I took a rather large piece of plastic, that was sticky on one side; like the one that was I had on my forehead before and placed it on the wound. "There you go..." Will came back and told us what had happened on the telephone.

"She said she's on her way..." Will said with a worried face.

"She's coming Dustin... You're gonna be okay. We're gonna take you to a doctor." I whispered placing my hand on his cheek. He smiled gently and began to fall asleep...
