C H 24 : Hospitalized

(Yis, da fishermann)

** Third Person's P.O.V **

It was Saturday. Fresh's brother sat beside him. He can't believe it, scars. Cuts, scattered around his arms. He cut diagonally, vertically, and horizontally. Who would make him do such a thing? All this time, he hid away with unmistakable gloves that could hide his feelings. Now, once the doctors removed the gloves, his feelings, revealed themselves to the world. Bowed their head in shame, but the world is not to blame. He didn't know how much he faced, in this awful place.

He held his hand, lightly squeezing it. The heart monitor is showing very little sign of his heartbeat. But what can his brother do? He can't afford to lose a brother. He was supposed to surprise him with something in his birthday, but now. It couldn't wait. Fresh was slowly dying. The door opened to reveal Palette, along with Cil, Ink, Error and PJ. PJ was crossing his arms, he doesn't want to see his face right now.

Cil hurried to the bed, clashing his boney hands together as they cover his mouth. “Why would leave so soon? I thought that we were friends!” Cil muttered, tears beginning to form. PJ flinched, they were friends? But, PJ heard it, heard the song. That couldn't be true, PJ brushed the thought off his head, trying to be incapable of feeling remorse. ‘It's not like I care or anything’  PJ thought to himself. How would they all freak out when he did that? 

He bets that they're gonna get mad at him. Even worse, they would disown him. Palette and Cil won't talk to him anymore, they won't call him their ‘Big Brother’ that they look up to anymore. But, won't they understand? They would understand that, he was only protecting him. Yet, it was true.

Although, as PJ was stuck with his train of thoughts. He didn't notice the cuts on Fresh's arm. “Is he gonna be okay?” Palette asked his brother. “The doctors said that he'll be fine, as long as we know who he likes ” Papyrus answered, his voice threw off a hint of coldness. PJ who can't help but eavesdrop, listened to their conversation. “Who does he like? He can't like PJ because he practically moved on. And there no signs of him doing about it” Palette said, in conclusion. “What if he didn't? What if he hid his feelings and still liked him?” Fresh's brother exclaimed, he was so sure that Fresh has not moved on since ‘she’ was gone for awhile.

“How are you so sure? I'm close to Fresh, he should've told me his feelings before” Palette said, I'm confusion. But he did tease him about something that related, but was not sure. Suddenly the door squeaked open to reveal the yellow lizard like Dino(no) herself. “O-oh. H-hey!” She squeaked, closing the door afterwards. “I-i-is he g-g-going to be o-okay?” Alphys asked, worry laced her tone. She stuttered a lot lately. Ever since Fresh was hospitalized, her stutter increased. She no longer feel safe in school. Everyone does not feel safe.

Everyone literally thought of a murderer once they found out what happend. So Police investigated the area, they confirmed that the blood that was on the floor and walls were Fresh's blood. There were no footprints, fingerprints and unable to locate any murder weapons. So they were smart enough to kill him through their hands. The Police couldn't case anyone, not even PJ involved to the crime, and the only witness was Y/n L/n herself. She just happens to live on an apartment behind the school to ask a friends who was sick and came across Fresh's lifeless body. So they closed the case. They couldn't case anybody to a crime, Y/n didn't even catch the Murderer who did this.

She was not the murderer because she was an innocent and a witness(although she didn't witness what PJ and his friends did soo--). The school didn't have yet any security cameras to reveal full proof. There were no signs of evidence, or hints. they didn't use any mechanisms that could actually kill Fresh. So they figured that he was ‘beaten’ up. One of his arms are dislocated, several broken bones, more than 4 ribs were broken, a large crack drawing along the top of his head until the nape of his neck. Scratches and bruises on the arms and legs. Scars and cuts filled his arms. And a cracked spine.

It was a revolting sight to see.

Papyrus would make them pay for what they've done to his brother. The doctors even theorized that he had severe depression. Depression leads to suicide right? But Fresh didn't have the heart to commit suicide, he still had a lot of things to do in life. Like staying single.

Fresh could have a chance to live long now since the doctors specially designed a healer kinda like clothing. The design is like normal clothing everyone wears. The design should be hidden underneath, so they made sleevess shirt that covers up his ribs and spine. They laced the back just to ensure that the clothing touches him, the clothing is laced healing factors and components like milk(to strengthen his bones) and calcium.

They also designed long thin tubes of fabric that covers up his arms to his shoulders and feet to his waist. It is still laced with healing components and properties but the scars will remain. The design is like a protective layering, so if he touches something really hot or cold, the outer layer of the fabric conceals it from hurting him. Just so the healing process won't be disturbed by natural anomalies. Their are different designs for other types of monsters and humans too, skin, scales, feathers and fur, even bones.

The head clothing his like a beanie, it covers his head until the nape of his neck, the head design is durable, so it would last a very long time. It also conceals any feeling from punches and kicks. So no matter how much you try to punch his head and crack. He has no slight feeling of pain, that goes for the other designs as well. But it has a limit. If you reach the limit, the durability lowers down. And the healing process will abruptly stop.

So make sure you have a side kick or a body guard (or a very overprotective boyfriend that make sure that you are not hurt even when it's just a little scar) with you.
