-ON HOLD- The Immortal and the Fox

Chapter Four

Two hours. I've been in here for two hours.

My mom isn't able to come and get me because of traffic and work, and Richard can't come get me either for the same reasons. I'm tired of lying down in here, but at least Cry is still here. He hasn't left my side. At all. Except to use the bathroom and shit, but seriously, he hasn't left my side. I can't help but think that he thinks that this was his fault. I've tried asking him if he thought that, but he just shh'd me everytime I opened my mouth.

Magyk came in to see if I was here during last period. He looked so worried for me. He stayed until the nurse kicked him out. I don't see why she kicked Magyk out and not Cry... I guess because Cry brought me here? Maybe that's it. I don't know. I sighed and closed my eyes for the fifth time, trying to see if I could at least sleep the time away. Cry moved my hair from my face, like he had multiple times before, and kept a firm grip on my hand. I opened my mouth slightly and asked, "Cry? Do you feel as if it's your fault?"

I'm surpised he didn't 'shh' me again. I opened my left eye and looked up at him. He looked down towards me and his shoulders moved with the breath he took in. "Honestly? Yes."

"Why?" I asked, looking at his mask.

"Because," He said, he squeezed my hand once. "I said I'd protect you. I came in too late. I timed it wrong. It's my fault that you're this bad, friend." 

"Cry," I said, now opening my right eye to look at him properly. "It's not your fault. I would've gotten hurt anyway."

"I know, but I could've made it a lot less if I had made it earlier." He sighed out.

"Why do you care so much?" I asked him.

"I care so much because you protected me from those asses and the least I could do is protect you also. And, you're my friend. No one hurts my friends and gets away with it." He answered. 

I nodded and closed my eyes once more. "Thanks, dude. Really." I whispered. He squeezed my hand in response and silence fell over us again.

It only lasted a few more minutes before a worried voice came from the front of the nurse's office, "Where's Immortal? Is he okay? What about Cry? Oh gosh, are they okay?!" Yup, definetely worried.

"Back here." Cry called. 

The curtains were pulled back a bit and, I'm guessing, a head poked from behind it. "Hey guys." Pewdie whispered.

"Hey, Pewds. What's up?" Cry asked.

"I wanted to see how Immortal was. The group wouldn't shut up about what happened in the bathroom. Are you okay, also?" Pewdie asked. I heard footsteps and the curtain closing. I guess he walked in.

"I'm fine. Immortal's kinda beat, though," I opened one eyes to glare at Cry at his little pun he made. Pewds chuckled at me and nodded. "Anyway, they wouldn't shut up, huh?"

"Yeah, they wouldn't. Nova and Kootra were explaining how they beat Immortal and all of a sudden they were both beat by you. Just them being the dumbasses they are. A couple of the people in the group looked sort of concerned though. I don't know why." Pewdie explained.

"Huh... Maybe because Nova and Kootra got destroyed by me?" Cry asked, laughing a little. 

"How'd you do it, Cry?" Pewdie and I asked at the same time. We both looked at each other and laughed. When we stopped, we faced Cry again.

"I'm stronger than I look." He said. I could tell he glanced at me as if to say 'don't mention anything'.

"Oh, well, I guess. I mean, you look weak like me." Pewdie teased, poking his tongue out at Cry. Cry laughed at him.
