He Said So

I stared up at the ceiling.
"Hi!" A boy chirped.
I sat up and stared at this man. He was tall and slender. He had hollow voids for eyes and his skin was pale like the sky during a whiteout. His fingers were long and unnatural his teeth brought down to a point. His head was shaved bald and he wore a black tuxedo.

"Who are you?" I asked.
He stepped forward. He walked with a confidant stride. His walk was like my father's.
"I'm !#//!#\/#," he said.
I just stared at him. His hand reached out for me. He touched my thigh and his head tilted. A jolt of electricity shot through me. A lump formed in the back of my throat.

"Don't move," he ordered.
I closed my eyes and bared through the pain as the room became hot.
"Sly," he said.
"Sly?" Someone said.
"Ironman!" Someone said.
"Mr.Ironman!" Someone yelled.
I opened my eyes once more to a blurry room. I closed them once more and listened.

"He's never slept for this long!" Someone else said worry in his voice.
"It's almost 10! He's usually up at 7 right?" Another asked.
"Yeah! So why is he still asleep?" Another boy urged.
No answer.
"Move," he said.
Whoever he was. I opened my eyes once more and with my vision still blurry I hoisted myself up.

"Mr.Ironman!" Someone screeched.
I swung my feet over the side and lifted myself up. The room spun and I could barely see but I pushed forward. I went to the door and exited the room. I closed the door behind me and walked into the public bathroom. I went into a stall, closed and locked the door. I sat down on the tiled floor and stared at the toilet.

xXSlyFoxHoundXx: ow.

My head pounded and I coughed. I felt like I could faint but I bit my lip and focused on the toilet.

SDogSteven: you ok?
xXSlyFoxHoundXx: no. I canr sew

xXSlyFoxHoundXx: bathroom. Public
Remix10tails: I'll be there in a moment. Hold tight

I closed my eyes and quickly opened them once more. I took heavy breaths and when a cold stinging sensation came from my lip I touched it.
Once I pulled my hand away and looked at it I could see blood. I guess I've been gnawing on my lip a bit too harshly. I put my hand to my lips and pulled back to see. My hand was wet and dripping with blood. There's so much of it.

"Shhh," he said.
I looked up from my hand. My eyes were wet with tears and I felt so tired.
"Ironman!" I heard a familiar voice call out.
It's Jose's! I pushed myself up to my feet and tried unlocking the door. The lock wouldn't budge. I tried multiple times, but each time took up too much of my energy. I was tempted to pound on the door but that'd make too much noise, and he told me to stay quiet. Then the door jiggled from the other side.

"Shh!" Jose hissed.
"Shut up, you're not helping!" Jose growled.
Finally, with a lot of force and effort on both of our sides the door was able to come open. And once it opened I couldn't help but fall to my knees.
"Ironman!" Jose yelped.
"Stand," he ordered.
I pushed against the frame and tried hoisting myself back up.
"Ironman, stop. Don't push yourself!" Jose ordered putting an arm around me and helping me up.

"Don't be contradictory," I said.
Jose took a careful step forward, half carrying me with him.
"I can walk Green Arrow," I said.
"I don't wanna take any chances, Ironman," He said.
I groaned and we walked on. My right leg stung and with each step I cringed.
"Green Arrow," I growled, "don't coddle me!"

He didn't stop.
We walked all the way to the nurse's room. He stopped and told me to lay down once we got to the bed. I shook my head.
"You're good at this!" He said.
I grabbed my head and screamed. As loud as I possibly could without damaging my vocal cords. I kept screaming. I screamed until I couldn't anymore. Even then I kept screaming. I screamed and cried. I screamed and cried until I passed out on the bed.
