Rin Jones

Chapter 7

Yukio's P.O.V.

Rin's been gone for a couple hours now. And it's starting to worry me. What if he got hurt? I'm still worried about him after he came back from being kidnapped. He was so scared all the time. He had to be near me almost all the time, except when I was using the bathroom. He would sleep with me at night. Which I didn't mind at all. I used to do the same thing when we were younger when I would have nightmares. He would have panic attacks too. To calm himself down he named streets, which some I knew and others I barely knew. I guess they were the streets he was on. I had to hug him and keep him close to me for hours sometimes. He would barely eat and he got skinnier because of it. I had to convince him to eat something. He also lost his enjoyment in cooking.

When we're still in high school, one time he had a panic attack during class. He stood up out of his seat, knocking over his chair in the process which got the class's attention, and he ran out of the class room. I ran after him and tackled him in the hall way. He was a shaking and crying mess. I held him close to me and hummed a tune. I asked him if he wanted to go home because being at home can make him feel a little calmer compared to being in public. He was only able to nod. I walked us to the office and signed us out. I had gotten my drivers license, so I drove us home. Although home didn't feel the same way after dad died. And I cuddled with him on the couch for hours.

I was about to call him when the door opened. Rin came in limping because of a bullet hole in his thigh and blood coming out of it.

"Rin?! What happened?!" I said as rushed to him and helped him stand. And I saw that his shoulder was grazed too. Which put a hole in his leather jacket.

"The woman blamed me for her mother's death and tired to kill me."

"You need to go to a hospital."

"I'm not going to a hospital."

"Yes you are. Like it or not."

"Yukio, I am NOT going to a hospital." He said in a threatening voice. Is he really going to be stubborn right now? I thought for few minutes before I said something,

"Fine then. But you are going to let me treat the wound." He nodded in response before I put his arm over my shoulders and help him to the bathroom room. I had him sit on the toilet as I looked for the first aid kit. I also had him take off his jacket, scarf, and gloves. He took off his shirt and bit down on it. I took out a pair of pliers.

"Tell me when I got the bullet, okay?"

"Just do it!" He said but was muffled by his shirt. Then I put the pliers in the wound. He grunted. After awhile I had something that felt like the bullet.

"There!" Rin said.

"Here?" He nodded in response. Then I pulled it out. It was covered in blood. The shirt had fallen out of Rin's mouth.

"FUCK!" He shouted.

"Are you okay now?" I asked as I put the bloody bullet in the near by trash can. He weakly nodded. I got a wet wash cloth and cleaned the wounds, so they wouldn't get infected. Then bandaged him up, but the one of his thigh had blood seeping through the bandage. There wasn't really anything I could do about that. I walked out of the bathroom and got him a clean shirt. It was a light grey tank top, it was the only thing I could find quickly. I walked back to the bathroom and handed to him. He put it on.

I helped him stand again and lead him to his bed. I had him lay on his back and put the blanket over him. He had a arm over his stomach and the other arm on his forehead. He was asleep in a few minutes. I guess he was tired from all of that.

I sighed before I got ready for bed. After getting ready, I turned off all the lights and laid on the couch. I couldn't stop thinking about how Rin. My older brother, the one looked up to as a little kid, and loved. Ended up like this. A person who's working, in pain both mentally and physically, and maybe emotionally. And then look at me, I'm the opposite. I wasn't in the car when the crash happened. I wasn't in the hospital for mouths. I wasn't kidnapped. I don't have panic attacks.

I just envy myself for being the one that isn't taking some sort of hit to the face by life, like Rin is.
