Adopted

Morning

I wake up, damp, and wearing different clothes than when I went to bed. I have a bandaged right hand, left arm, right shoulder, head, stomach, and right leg. I can't feel my foot, where's my left foot! I start screaming through my tears, which I just now realize I'm drenched, tears, sweat, blood, spit, and piss.

"What's wrong now!! IS SHE AWAKE!!!!!???!!!!!" I hear Ray scream.

"Maybe, but now we both need showers, again!!!" Gee's voice says. I try to roll over and realize Gerard is holding me down in his lap.

"Wha ar yo doin le m---", I can't finish, I start violently shaking, crying, and screaming all at once.

"What triggered this, it hasn't happened for months!?!?!?!" Frank appears in the doorway. Again, now all three of them were in boxers, Mikey walks in (make that four), a bottle of something in his hand. Its big. "Got the peroxide." Mikey says. I scream again, in fear.

I manage to choke out, "Can't. Feel. Left. Foot." It burns to breathe,  which makes talking almost impossible, and my whole body is engulfed a searing and stabbing pain when I move the tiniest bit. Well, except for my left foot. Still can't feel it.

"Is Avril still unconcious?" Gee asks Mikey.

"Yep, and it takes two people to get her clean. Ray still can't use his shoulder, and Frank is afraid to go near her. That leaves me and you, but--" Gee cuts him off.

"If she's awake, which I'm pretty sure she is, it takes one person and a helper. Me, the person, and you, the helper."

"But, but I ca---" Gee cuts Mikey off again.

"You have to, I'll do the actual work, and you can pick clothes out for her and get the first aid kit." Mikey sputters after Gee finishes. But he finally agrees.

Gee rolls me over carefully and wraps one arm around me and puts one arm under me. He stands up, with the help of Mikey. Gerard carries me into the bathroom and lays me down in the tub, which is covered in two layers of towels. He tries to take my shirt off, to get me clean, but I wimper. He shushes me and tries again. I wimper again, louder this time.

"Hayden, come on, I gotta get you clean, or else your injuries won't heal." Gee whispers. Mikey walks in with clean clothes for me and the first aid kit. He sets them down on the counter. Then looks at me and Gerard with a questioning look. "She won't let me help her, but no one else will help." Gee says.

"Let me talk to her." Mikey sounds scared as he says this. Gee nods. Mikey walks over to me and sits on the side of the tub, gives Gerard a look, and he gets up and walks over to the counter, pretending to check his reflection in the mirror. He winces when he moves his right leg. "Oh no, I hurt everyone!!"

"Hayden, you have to let Gee help you, its the only way, if you want to be able to run from the police when they come, let him help you." Mikey whispers in my ear so Gee can't hear him. I mouth, "Okay."

"Gee, she's ready."

"Okay, Mikey." Gee limps back to the tub and sits down. Mikey runs out and closes the door. Gerard starts to lift my shirt. "I don't want him to see my scars, oh wait he has already, but I'm awake this time, he'll ask." My shirt is off, and my bandages.

"Hayden, these scars are new, and big. Did you do this to yourself?" I nod and searing pain shoots through my head. "When, why, you know your safe here." Silent tears stream down his face. "Its my fault, all my fault. You hurt yourself because of me."

Just then Avril crashes into the bathroom and says, "Gee, let me help you. It will be easi--" She stops talking looks at Gee and then me, his silent tears and my scars, and immediatly drops to the floor. She feels my scars, the new ones, and says, "Hayden why?!? How, how did you do this to yourself, how?!?" She starts to cry too.

"Its all my fault." Gerard looks at me, obviously believing he was the reason.

              

              Gerard's POV

She hurt herself. I can't believe it, she told us she was losing weight, but no, she was cutting it off, herself!! "I thought you were losing weight, I was so proud of you, trying to be healthy, I told you to keep it up, and you kept cutting it off. I should have known you were losing it too fast. Its my fault, all mine, I did this." I stand up, limp over to the first aid kit, pick up the epipen, and open it. I start crying harder. When I'm just about to stab myself, Mikey knocks it out of my hands.

                Mikey's POV

"Its my fault, I should die." Gerard mumbles this over and over as he falls to the ground backwards. Not in the direction of the epipen, thankfully. I look over at Hayden, she has thick scars, one over another, and they're long, too. I now realize what Gerard is talking about. Hayden's crying and shaking her head no, she probably thinks Gee killed himself, poor girl.

                   Ray's POV

I walk into the bathroom to see what was taking so long. Gerard is talking about committing suicide, Avril is crying next to the tub, Mikey is looking torn about who to take care of, and Hayden is laying in the tub, with large scars on her stomach. "Frank get in here, help me!!!!" I scream it twice, and he appears at the door.

"What, did Hayden slap him again." He sounds annoyed.

"No, she has scars, Gerard attempted suicide, and Mikey and Avril are incapable of doing anything besides what they already are." I speak as fast as I can.

                 Frank's POV

I look around, trying to make sense of all this. After a second or two, it sinks in. "OhMyGod, you talk to Mikey and Gerard, I'll take Avril and Hayden." I rush over there and drop to my knees, Hayden tries to sit up, only making things worse, and starts bleeding again. I grab a towel from the corner and press it into the wounds on her stomach. She's bleeding uncontrollably. She's just about to pass out. Then poof, she does.
