Bellamy's POV

I dropped Clarke off at the school to grab her car and she slipped out, quickly dropping me a thank you before shutting the door behind her.

I pulled away in the direction of Murphy's house. He was released from the hospital this morning and I was going to spend the day with him today, since his parents had to work and he had to use his hand as little as possible.

I walked into his house to see him trying to grab something from the top cabinet, which just spelled disaster.

"Murphy! What the hell are you doing!" I yell at him, trying to get him to not re hurt his hand or anything.

He stepped back and sighed, "I'm not helpless, you know."

"Your mom asked me to be here today to make sure nothing happens so that's what I'm doing."

He huffs and storms into the living room. I could tell he was angry about not being able to do much for himself. It was my fault that this happened too, I shouldn't have bumped him that hard or at all for that matter.

He was sitting on the couch when I followed him, crossing his arms and looking up to the TV.

I cautiously sat down, not daring to say anything and make him anymore angrier than her already did.

It wasn't too long before he finally broke the silence, "I can't believe I'm done for football season and have no chance for hockey season now."

My head dropped, "I'm sorry, Murph. I didn't mean to do that to you."

His head snapped up, he was fuming, "You didn't mean to do this to me? Maybe if you didn't go all out every single time you played, this wouldn't have happened!"

"I'm sorry," I say again, not looking for an argument or to get something started with him.

He charges at me but I stand up and push him back before he can hit me, "This your fault! Why'd you have to do this! You don't even sound like you're even really sorry!"

He stills tries to come at me, "Murphy, calm down! It was an accident and I know you're mad now but don't do anything you'll regret!"

He tilts his head to the side, he officially snapped "Something I'll regret? Something like this?"

His fist hit my jaw and kept hitting me. I tried to get him off me without hitting him back but it was useless because he just kept swinging.

I heard the front door open from the far side of the room. I think it was Finn, he was supposed to stop by.

"Murphy, stop!" He yells, it was definitely Finn.

Murphy socked me in the nose with his cast hand and I felt the blood flowing. He got one more punch with his other hand before he was pulled off, too far for him to hit me again.

He was resisting against Finn's hold on him, "Finn let me go! Let me give Bellamy what he deserves!"

I slowly stood up, losing my balance slightly but I grabbed onto the side of the couch. Ignoring Murphy's yelling, I walk into the bathroom.

My nose was pouring out blood but I didn't think it was broken. A black bruise was already forming around my eye and I could feel my whole face throbbing. Murphy was still yelling from the living room but it sounded like Finn was calming him down.
