Your New Father(A Benedict Cumberbatch Fan Fiction)

Chapter 18

The next day, I woke up, changed and went down for breakfast. Ben was already out for work. Hope he felt better.

I walked to school and saw that everyone came to me asking a lot of questions. I expected that to happen.

"Give way please!" Cecil came and helped me get through those people so that I could go to my locker.

"So how's Ben?" he asked while he caught the football that his friend threw to him.

"Wow nice catch. Not sure, we went out yesterday for quite a long time, I tried talking to him which I hope did cheer him up."

"He just needs time..."

"I know but I hate seeing him sad." I hugged Cecil until Jade came crashing into us.

"Look I'm so sorry I have to ruin your moment but you two have to come to class. Now!" Jade said with full of angre. She was scared, I could hear that. Cecil and I didn't say anything, just nodded and ran to class with her.

"Wow Edmund!" Cecil ran to him as soon as we reached class.

"Who did this?!" I yelled, in a bossy way desperate to get an answer. Edmund was bleeding, he was laying down on a pool of blood resisting not to let the tears drop. There was a blade in his arm, luckily not in his chest or torso or anything.

"Send me.... infirmary..." Edmund said softly. Cecil immediately carried him on his back to the infirmary, of course after the nurse saw it, he was sent to the hospital.

"Who?" I said to myself.

"He'll be okay Jade...." I heard Cecil saying to Jade. During lunch, Jade and I walked around school insted of having lunch. None of us had the appetite.

"Lilz, it's Lilz who did it." she said.

"Lilz?" I said sounding curious. Lilz never would do something as serious as this.

"She was smart, she waited until only Edmund was in class, only did she went in and stabbed him."

"Well the principle would probably need more proves if we want to tell him about this. What about security cameras?"

"There are no security cameras in our school.... they only out it in the front gate, the back gate and the cafeteria."

"But why? Why would she do such a thing?"

"I have no idea. I just came in to class, girls were screaming and guys were trying to help but he was laying down of the pool of his own blood, he mumbled Lilz so we knew who did it."

"That's it?" I asked quite disappointedly. Usually if it was Edmund I talked to, I could find out a lot of things.

After school, I went back home. Cecil went to my house with me. We were hoping someone could send us to the hospital. Of course that someone would be Benedict Cumberbatch.

"So what time would he be back?" Cecil askes while taking a bite of the burger I made him for dinner.

"Well he said he won't be back..." the door opened before I could finnish.

"Hey kids!"

"Oh look he's here." I said.

"Ben do you mind sending us to the hospital?" Cecil asked. Ben immediately looked up at us curiously.

"What reason?"

"Edmund's in the hospital."

"What happened?"

"Lilz stabbed him." I said looking up at him.

"Is Linda involve?"

"What do you think." I said and he went up.

"You shouldn't talk to your dad lile that." Cecil said. I just ignored. I was thinking for the whole day, why didn't I looked for Lilz or Linda.

We went out at about 8pm reaching there at 8:30pm. We only had an hour to talk as it was late. Jade was there all day after school.

"Hey buddy! Still hurting?" I asked.

"Hi Ben, Cecil and you, of course it still hurts."

"Well just being nice."

"That's indeed nice." Ben said rolling his eyes.

"Well okay we have a lot of 'investigation' to do here. First, what happened?"

"Well..." he started off.

"First I walked into class, only Lilz was there as it was still very early. All she said was Scarlet or you. I didn't answer, just stood there. I asked why is she asking and this happened." right after he finnished. I received a message. I read the message while the others were discussing about it saying it's such a dumb thing to do.

[Meet, 1st floor, hospital entrance-Linda] why was she there? And even worst, how did she knew we were there. Soon I received another message.

[ALONE-Lilz] they were there, together. I decided I should go to find out why they were doing this.

"So what did they do to your hand? The doctors." I asked. I wanted to ask a few questions then say I needed to use the toilet.

"They took out the knife, made some stiches. They did some things in the middle which I had no idea what they were."

"Oh okay. I need to visit the toilet." I said and stood up.

"Come back faster." Ben said. I nodded and went out.

I went into the lift. There was a guy in there, possibly 17 or 18 I guess. He had hazel brown hair and light blue eyes. He stared at me. It felt like years in there, he made me felt uncomfortable.

"Is everything alright sir?" I asked bravely. Trying not to make eyr contact. He smirked. That was the last thing I saw.
