We Are Young!!!!!!!!

Part 8

As soon as they were stationary on the ground, hands grabbed at them and turned them both onto their backs.

"He's bleeding again but that's just because some of the stitches has come undone. Danny, George, you guys awake?" Matthew asked them and they both grunted in response. "Let's give them a minute or so to rest" Matthew suggested and they all agreed and backed away from the two in the middle of the room.

The first one to recover was typically George as he was more used to the entire ordeal and the first thing he did was make sure Danny and the other boys were alright. "Where's Jay? Is he not back yet?" George asked them as he sat up slowly and they shook their heads at him. "You were gone for ages, at least a couple of hours if not more" Matthew told him and George just sighed and worked hard to not think about what had just happened to them.

"Danny, you still with us?" George asked and leaned over Danny to see his face. His voice shocked Danny out of dozing off and Danny practically shat himself when he saw George staring right at him. "What?" Danny asked, confused and had help from George to sit up, braced against the wall and George.

"You lied, it wasn't a week until they came back for me" Danny muttered from where his head was resting against George's shoulder. "I know, I'm sorry, but I guess it's because you're a newbie toy." George said and banged his head against the wall behind them quite forcefully and gasped in pain as his head made him pay for it.

"Don't do that to yourself, George. It's not your fault" Danny whispered and Matthew nodded from where he was sitting against the wall opposite them with Dylan and Jordan both cuddled up to him asleep. "He's right" Matthew said and George just sighed.

"I couldn't protect him, Matt. He was right there and I couldn't protect him" George told him and Danny noticed that George was talking about him as though he wasn't there and then realized that his eyes were shut and he was practically asleep and immediately tried to make himself more alert.

"No, George, you were tied up, don't be like that" Danny muttered and felt George wrap his arm around him protectively. "Doesn't stop me from feeling guilty though" George said and this time it was Danny's and Matt's turn to sigh.

Before they could say anything else, the door unlocked and the next thing they knew was that Jorel was being thrown into the room only to land roughly against the wall opposite the door in front of Danny and George. The door slammed shut and Danny and George immediately went to check to see if Jorel was alright.

Jorel was moaning in pain as George turned him over onto his back and tears were rolling down his face. "Jay? Talk to me, what did they do this time?" George asked quietly and Danny just placed his hand on Jorel's forehead carefully. "It hurts, it all just hurts so much" Jorel moaned and grabbed at Danny's hand and held it in a tight grip.
