Silent Scream

9.

Ashton's Pov:

I fell to the floor, tears streaming down my face. Nate and Noah were behind me, shocked. I swear I heard Noah run past me, but I don't know.

"Ash he's alive!! We need to get him to a hospital!!" Noah screamed running to Dylan.

'No!! No we can't. Dad will kill us.. We have to get him up to my room!' I signed while standing up and wiping away any stray tears. Just as I did so I heard a whimper on the floor.

"Dylan!" Noah said kneeling down to him.

"I'm okay.. listen to Ash.. she knows what she's doing." Nate and Noah looked at me.

'Well.. we need to get him to my room!'

"How? He can't walk!" Nate yelled back. It scared me a bit, but I knew he was just very stressed.

"It doesn't freaking matter! He's losing blood fast! If he stays down here he'll die!" I screamed. I talked. With my mouth. Nate and Noah looked at me stunned.

"Ash you-"

"No!" I cut Nate off and rushed past him to Dylan's side.

"Guys I can walk if you help.." Dylan said. You could hear how much pain he was in by his voice.

"Okay.. um.. Ash you go get ready upstairs and Nate and I will get him there." Noah said stuttering over his words.

'Okay.' I signed and took off.

I laid down a towel on my rug and got everything in place while just waiting for them to get him up here.

When they finally did I got his shirt off and started helping him.

"I'm so sorry.." Noah said. "This is all my fault.."

"Look, Noah is it? It's not your fault. We're both new here. I take it that Dylan didn't tell you?" Nate said while I cleaned Dylan's wounds, new and old, and put patches on them.

"No he didn't.. You?" Noah asked, tears running down his face.

"No.." Nate said.

They both stopped talking and sat down on my bed.

I turned around and signed, 'we need to get him up so he can brace himself against the wall..' they stood him up and brought him to the wall. I wrapped a bandage around his stomach so he was finally done.

'Noah.. in Dylan's room.. get in his closet and get a big shirt. Like big..' I signed.

"What? Nate what did she say?"

"She said get a shirt from Dylan's room. The biggest shirt you can find." Nate said looking down.

"Okay got it." Noah ran off and came back seconds later.

After we got the shirt on Dylan and made him comfortable on my bed I decided I should probably talk to Nate about what he just witnessed.

"It's okay baby.. I'm here.. I'm not leaving you.." Noah said as he sat by Dylan. He leaned over a placed a small kiss on Dylan's head. Dylan was asleep and Noah was holding his hand and rubbing small circles in the back on it.

'They're so cute together. Now that they officially are.' I thought.

"Ash we need to talk about this." Nate said in a hushed whisper while pulling me downstairs.

"Why didn't you tell me your dad.. you know.. did that..?" Nate sounded hurt.

'I-I couldn't.. I didn't want you to leave and if he found out then I'd get it and.. and I was just afraid..' I signed and looked down.
