Chapter Ten

====Gracie's P.O.V.====
Once I pointed out that Elton was bleeding, he seemed like he only just noticed. I start to worry. I think we should get him to a doctor before we have him tell us anything.

"Hey, Elton. Let's actually get you to a doctor before you tell us anything. I don't want you to lose too much blood.." as I say this, he looks at me and nods.

Jay looks like he wants to punch him again. I don't know why. All I do know at the moment is that Elton needs a doctor, and I should keep Jay away from him.

"Okay then." I step forward and put my hand on Elton's shoulder. "C'mon. Let's go..." I turn him around so we can use the stairs. I don't want unwanted attention. Plus, the lunch room is probably still crowded.

Elton starts to walk towards the stairs and I start to walk with him when I feel a hand on my shoulder. It's Jay. I stop and so does Elton. I turn to look at Jay.

"You know, he's probably just gonna use the time you're giving him to make stuff up." He says quietly.

"I'm going to take him to see a doctor. Okay." I tell him then turn around and continue walking to the stairs with Elton. We walk up the stairs and... I don't think Jay and Sonny are coming with.

====Jason's P.O.V.====
Grace starts to walk Elton to the stairs. I look at Jacob and our eyes meet for a moment. He turns, takes a step towards Grace, then stops her by putting his hand on her shoulder. She turns to look at him and he says something quietly. I can't quite hear what he says, but I can hear what Grace says.

"I'm going to take him to see a doctor. Okay." Grace tells him. She then turns away and keeps walking Elton up the stairs. Jacob turns around ,once Elton and Gracie are out of earshot, and starts talking to me.

"Elton is probably gonna use this time to come up with random crap to tell us later. You know that right?" He says turning his full attention to me.

"You never know, he might not..."

"Yeah but, we have no garuntee that he's not..." I shrug my shoulders at that. Then the stairwell is silent. It's not really an awkward silence, but it's not comforting either. Jacob turns to the general direction of the door.

"Did you eat?" He asks, trying to fill the quiet.

"No, did you?"

He shrugs and points to the floor by the wall, where his and Grace's food is sitting on their trays. He looks back at me.

"You should eat." I nod and half smile at him.

"Sure. Wanna walk with me to get some food?" He thinks for half a second before nodding and we both start walking to the door. We get there at the same time and I open the door for him. He walks through and I walk after him.

====Elton's P.O.V.====
Gracie hasn't moved her hand from my shoulder. It's kind of nice having it there, especially since my brain is practically imploding. I don't want to have to tell her. I know I'm gonna have to but, I don't want to. I don't want her to know.

She hasn't said a word since we left Jason and Jacob downstairs. She just walked while looking down at her feet. She didn't say anything when we got to the second floor. She didn't say anything when we got to the third floor. As soon as we got out of the stairwell, she finally said something. Still looking down though.

"Hey, did you hear what Jacob was saying when he stopped me at the bottom of the stairs?" She asked.

"No, he was too quiet. Why?" I look at her. She stops walking and I do to.

"He said that because I'm taking you to see a doctor first, you are gonna use this time to make up stuff to tell us, instead of actually telling us the truth." She looks up at me, looking me right in the eyes. "Are you really gonna do that?"

I'm surprised for a brief moment. Then I realize that, because of what I did to Jacob, of course he's gonna think something like that. I wasn't planning on lying though. I don't think I was.

"I... I don't want to lie..." I tell her, careful with my words. She seems happy with that answer. She hugs me for a moment before letting go so she can continue walking. I follow behind her.

Then, the bell rings for the end of lunch. She stops walking suddenly and I almost walk into her. She turns to face me. She is smiling at me but I can tell she is dreading an upcoming event.

"Sadly, I can't continue walking with you... I have to go. I'll see you some other time yeah?" I nod at her and she walks away, the opposite direction we were walking. I wonder where she has to go...
