A few weeks later.
Paul still isn't home yet, Jenny is a wreck and went living in with Emma for these weeks. John is mainly not home and is sometimes days long looking for Paul without returning home. Emma tries on internet to find more information about Mike, and Jenny tells her between crying about the relationship which sadly, broke up because it didn't sound that bad at all. Some parts are even cute.
"He got really hurt when I broke up with him... He loved me.. a few weeks after we broke up, I saw him, he looked sad and just ignored me when I waved at him, he looked at me but just ignored..." Jenny tells. Emma nods and just follow all she's telling to fins maybe something useful for Paul.
There arrives a text in Jenny's phone 'I love you - Paul' the text says. Jenny breaks down when she reads the text, this obviously means, he doesn't want to worry her by telling what's going on.
---------
George and Annie are about to take the boat to Ireland but hear someone scream and they run towards the sound.
It's inside a house, everything is locked and the curtains are closed. George tries to look through the curtains but fails.
Annie runs around the house, she feels pain into the screaming voice. she finds a little window on the ground, no curtains and there is a light, she lays down and her eyes widen. "GEORGE!" She calls.
George runs over "What!?" He asks, Annie pulls his head down to the low window, which makes him sit on his knees, he looks into the window and sees Paul, he's bleeding and get hit badly.
Paul loses his voice and becomes really quiet, a few more time he get hit and his body moves lifeless along to the hits like all the life got out. The slaps and kicks stop, Paul is unrecognisable.
George is about to hit the window broken to get in, but Annie pulls him back. "Wait.. till the person who hurts him leaves" she says.
"Are you crazy, he's dying there!" George says completely panicking.
"I'm saving him. You know I can." She says caring but seriously to George.
George nods, how much it hurts to see Paul like this, it feels bad to wait but knows Annie's right, if he breaks in now, he get stuck like Paul.
Both of them have no idea why Paul is there or what happened to him. All they see is Paul, getting destroyed.
---------
Jenny tries to text back on the text but there is something which doesn't allow her to text. The texts she send are all of them coming back.
She's panicking because nothing can reach Paul.
Emma tries to find about a way to make Jenny less stressed about him. but she knows it's impossible, she would react the same as John got lost for this long. She decides to hug her tightly.
---------
The man who treated Paul with anger left with the car.
Annie and George were hidden in some plants and they get out. George rams the low window and it breaks easily. Annie climbs in, she's pretty skinny, more then George so, she easily can get in. She runs to Paul who lays on the floor, she turns him onto his back so she can pick him up easier. "ouhhsss...." a slow soft quiet voice leaves Paul's mouth.
"It's okay Paulie.. we get you away here." Annie says caring and relieved that he's still alive, she picks him up and carries him to the window where George i ready to take over. She hands him to George who gently pulls him out the house, Annie climbs out after with some help from George. When she stands back next to George she looks at him. "We need to hide us somewhere, I need to give him some medical help..." She says. George nods and gently carries Paul who shivers from the cold air outside, Annie takes a blanket out her bag and lays it on Paul, just covering everything but his face.
Paul's to weak to home himself, everything hurts, everything is bruised, some parts bleed and even his hands and back are burned.
George gives Annie a very worried look, she gives him a 'I can fix him...' look, but it's pretty unsure. She hasn't her books right now. She leads George to a left house which for sure got for a few years no people inside, she walks inside and George follows still carrying Paul gently in his arms. She goes to the bathroom of the house and puts towels on the ground and takes others to make wet. George lays Paul gently on the towels on the ground and checks carefully his pulse, he really doesn't want to hurt him. Paul's heart is racing. "It's okay lad, I'm here, Annie is going to heal you, no worry" George says caring while he looks at the ripped clothes which shows even more bruises and burnings. Paul makes moves like he will throw up.
"Annie..." George says panicking.
"Lay him on one of his sides." She replies.
George does immediately what she asks.
Paul throws up slowly and it really hurts him. In the meantime he gets fever which a lot happen when someone throws up.
Annie treats Paul, slowly but caring.
---------
Jenny gets a text from George 'Did you lose Paul somewhere?' it sys and she replies 'yes, weeks ago' quickly she gets a text back 'Annie and I found him. He's safe, no worry' She reads the text and a smile appears on her face. Emma looks curious. Jenny looks at Emma "George has Paul! He found him!" She says happy that Paul is safe.
