Freakish

Chapter 12: Sickness

"WHAT," I yell back at her.
"Come with me, his leg," she explains grabbing my hand and pulling me off the couch. We walk into the anxiety room where he's laying on the bed asleep.
"Look," she tells me as she lifts a rag from his knee. It's red and purple and black veins are connecting to his nerves in his leg.
"Ugh it stinks in here, it smells like death," I explain as I fan the air around my nose with my hand.
"He needs help, Brianna, he's going to die if we don't do something," Zoe cries.
"I'll see what I can do," I reply.
"You might not want to be here for this Zoe," I tell her. After she leaves I grab rubbing alcohol and hydrogen peroxide and put it against his knee slightly rubbing it. Once I put the rag in the trash Lashawn starts moving a little.
"Shit," I say to myself.
"What the hell, what the hells wrong with my leg?" he asks trying to touch it.
"Hey, hey, don't touch it, it'll hurt more," I tell him as I slowly lay his head back.
"Here take this it'll help the pain," I explain as I hand him some melatonin. After 5 minutes he falls asleep. I leave the room and ask Zoe, violet, Barrett, and Jc in the room.
"You guys are the only people I feel would know what's going on, except for you Zoe I just thought you might want to be in here for this," I explain.
"I thinks it's gangrene," Barrett says.
"Great he's gonna die," Zoe wines.
"No it'll be fine, just stay with him I'm going to go grab some water for him," I tell her.
"Come on guys," I demand as I open the door. We all walk out and go to the cafeteria. I turn on the faucet and star to fill up a school water bottle.
"What are we suppose to do about his knee?" Jc asks.
"I don't know, without drugs being pumped into him, or surgery, or even amputating him there is nothing we can do," I explain.
"Well, we can't just let him suffer," Jc argues.
"Jc you have to understand that the only way he'll stop suffering is if he's dead," I reply as I turn the faucet off.
"Brianna..would you kill Lashawn?" Jc asks.
"Why would you ask me that," I say.
"Answer the question," he demands.
"Do you here what you're saying Jc," I reply.
"Answer, the question," he demands again.
"I don't know, now answer my question, why would you think that of me?" I ask. Before he could answer we hear a thump and Lashawn screaming in pain.
"ADAM HELP," Zoe shouts. Jc and I run upstairs to Zoe and Liv. Lashawn is laying on the floor and his leg is sideways.
"Oh my god what the hell happened to him?" I ask.
"I think he came out here looking for somebody and his crutches slipped or something and his leg must have snapped," Zoe says.
"Probably, his tissues are dying," I say. Jc walks off and Adam comes to help.
"What is it?" Adam asks.
"Um, Lashawn needs help back to the bed," Zoe replies.
" Are you ok Adam, you're really sweaty?" I ask.
"Yeah I was just, uh, lifting weights," he replies suspiciously.
"Oooooookay," I answer curiously.

Liv's POV
"I'm going to go check on Jc," I say as I walk off. I check the student lounge, bathroom, and cafeteria, all the places where he should've been. I'm getting really worried. I decide to go check the music room and as I'm getting closer to the class I hear an acoustic guitar but it's actually really good. I open the door quietly and see Jc playing the guitar.
"Damn I didn't know you could play so well," I say. He drops the guitar and turns around while trying to be smooth about it.
"Uh, how long have you been in here?" he asks.
"Long enough to know that you're a great player," I reply as I sit down next to him on the risers.
"Why don't you play it more?" I ask.
"I don't know I thought it's stupid and something that my brother would make fun of," he answers.
"Uh, I don't know, I'd like a guy who could play a guitar, especially an acoustic," I reply. He just smiles at me and looks back down at the floor.
"You ok?" I ask.
"Kind of, I've never gone this long without Kc and I don't know if he's alive or not and it's the worst thing ever, is this what anxiety is like, where you're so worried and you just overthink things and it's just the worst feeling ever?" he asks. I chuckle a little.
"What, why is this funny?" he asks.
"It's not it's just, I can't believe you've never had anxiety before, you're really lucky," I answer.
"I need to know if he's ok or not," he says. I lean my head against his shoulder.
"You just have to hope for the best," I tell him as I look up at him. He looks back down at me and our eyes lock. He leans in and kisses me. We start to make out a bit before Brianna walks in.
"Aaah, oh my god, I'm-I'll talk to you later, bye," she says as she covers her eyes and shuts the door. We both chuckle a little.
"Come on we should probably go," I tell him. We walk out of the room and Adams standing right behind the door. He jumps on Jc and knocks to the floor. He starts trying to bite him.
"HE'S A FREAK," I yell backing into a locker.
"HELP ME," Jc shouts. I run over to the other wall and try and pull a pipe off of it. I put my foot against the wall, get a good grip, and pull as hard as I could. The pole ripped off of the wall and I fall backwards. I get up slowly kind of tripping myself and hit Adam in the back really hard. He turns around and looks at me. I start to run down the hall towards the student lounge. As I turn the corner diesel standing by the lounge talking to Brianna.
"Diesel, Adams a freak and he's coming down the hall now," I shout really quickly. He gets ready, and I hug Brianna and start to cry a little. Adam turns the corner and diesel starts beating him with his bat. I start to cry a lot so I turn around and cry into Brianna's shoulder. After like 30 seconds I realize that Jc was just attacked and he's still not over here.
"Brianna, Jc, he's still down there" I explain as I turn the corner and run to where he's still laying on the floor. Brianna runs over to him also and try's to help him up.
"DIESEL HELP," she yells. Diesel comes over and puts Jc's arm over his shoulder and brings him to the anxiety room. We lay him down in the other bed and put a blanket over him.

Brianna's POV
"I'm going to stay in here with him for a while, I think when Adam attacked him he hit his head hard enough to knock him out," I explain.
"Ok, I'm going to go take a breathe in the bathroom," Liv replies. After she leaves, its just Lashawn, Jc, Zoe, and I in the room. All the sudden, freaks start hitting the window and making an awful screeching noise.
"WHAT THE HELL," Zoe yells as we both cover our ears.
