"-Should we go up there?"
<"No! I'm sorry-!"> <thump>
The two men jumped up from the couch in a flash, and beelined it to the staircase; their game forgotten and unpaused. They ran up the stairs and open the master bedroom doors, before rushing inside. What they found wasn't what they expected.
Corey was on the floor, on his side facing them. He was raised on his left hip and left elbow, his torso not touching the ground. His right hand was clutching his side, just at the bottom ribs.
Devyn was standing over him, her face was red and looked angry.
"What the-?"
"What happend? "
"Nothing. He just slipped." Answered Devyn sharply, "Right Corey?"
"Ye- yeah." Corey slowly gets up onto his feet, his hand never leaving his side and winces in pain any time he moves. "I just slipped and fell on my hip. The fall just- just hurt my ribs."
Though concerned, the two roommates left the room. Both knowing their roommate was very clumsy and fell often. But they count help but wondering in the back of their own minds, did something else happen?
