FRAGILE. {Lirry Stayne}

C h a p t e r. 7.

Welp, here is the long awaited 7th chapter. It's ACTUALLY here. Once again, I can't really even express just how horrible I feel about this. The problem was I was getting like 6 hours of homework everyday, and I was pushing myself too much. It's lightened up now thankfully, I just took a while to get used to the new school. THANK YOU to everyone still reading and supporting me, I appreciate every single one of you SO MUCH and I mean this sincerely. It makes me so happy to know people are reading MY writing and enjoying it, I just feel like it's so crazy. ANYWAY, on to the story.

Shutting my eyes tight and clenching my teeth, I finally got down the few steps of the cabin, unfortunately this was only the start of the walk. I saw the other three boys glancing at me in cocern as they made small talk, waiting for me to catch up. I heard Liam explaining to Andy what had happen and watched as Andy's face twisted up in horror. 

"You sure you don't want to go to the infirmary? Maz will be there too." Andy expressed his concern, thoughtfully looking my way. I shook my head once more, I would be able to bare this. I've had worse pain. The cut was pretty bad but Liam fixed it up pretty well. I just wish I had some sort of pain numbing medication, which I could get if I went to the infirmary, but they would probably prod me with a bunch of strange tools and I'm not good with open wounds. 

"I'm fine, I'm fine..." I spoke up, just to reassure them. Without saying anything Liam and Andy walked up to me and wrapped an arm on either side of me, acting as crutches for the time being. I gave them each a little appreciative smile and we began to walk once again.

I was still shocked I was actually being cared for, especially by Liam. The most important thing to think about though at the moment would be, is this camp actually working?

 After a few minutes we finally arrived and Louis happily knocked on the door, doing that typical "secret" knock that everyone knew. They probably thought it through since they could get in trouble with counselors. 

"LOUIS, ANDY, OTHER GUYS! Come in!" A guy I had never seen opened the door, shouting some greetings at us. He seemed slightly buzzed already, not enough to cause any trouble. I was praying no one would get too bad, it wasn't like we were taking shots though, it would be a slower process. Just some time to relax and unwind. 

Andy left me to greet his friend and Liam carefully guided me into the cabin, helping me take a seat while my face once again twisted up in utter pain as the pressure of the seat moved my leg around. 

"What happened to you?" Some guy who reminded me slightly of Josh, in a physical way of course, asked me. I sheepishly looked up and looked back down to my injured leg, lifting up my shorts a little to see the bandage.

"I tripped on a root and landed on a sharp rock."

"You aren't going to the nurse?" 

I shook my head and he tossed me a beer, explaining how I'd definitely need it. It was true. I had a pretty bad gash in my leg and it hurt like hell, and I had no way to relieve the pain through medicine unless I went to the infirmary. I was starting to make second thoughts about going to get help, my leg seemed to be hurting just as bad as earlier at the moment.

Like usual, I just sat back and observed being my timid self, though Liam was of course socializing and laughing along. Taking more and more sips I was starting to feel a slight buzz, knowing I'd probably start talking soon enough. There were only three other guys in this cabin besides ourselves, which made me wonder where the others went. It was probably a good thing there weren't 12 drunk teenagers in the same tiny cabin. 

There were always different kinds of drunk people I had expirienced. This was slightly different though, finally actually seeing Liam drunk. I still had enough of my concious mind to keep quiet, but the others who were already on their third beer or so were looking a little funny.
