Ricky is driving me back in the direction I'm guessing Percy went, back to her house. Not that I understand why she'd go back there, but with Percy's mindset, I don't really understand anything to do with her. For some reason I didn't even have to tell Ricky where she lived, he just drove there, like he already knew the way, which can't be possible because she isn't exactly the social butterfly type. 

And then again nether is Ricky. 

We park in their driveway just as the signature truck of her father's races out. I see a lifeless body, slumped onto the group, curled into ball. 

"PERCY!" I yell, shoving myself out of the car and racing over towards her body. 

Ricky is right behind me as I pick her up in my arms. Her head rolls back and her eyes are closed. 

"Stay with us, Percy, stay with us come on!" Ricky shouts, helping me pick her up and carrying her towards his car. 

We lay her down as comfortably as possible and I situate her head on my lap as Ricky jumps in the driver seat. He doesn't even have to ask to know the hospital is what she needs. I play her hair off her bloody forehead, seeing her battered cloths, I pull her shirt up, seeing the shatters of glass stuck in her stomach and the holes made from the burning skin on her back. 

"Gosh, stay with me Percy, stay with me baby." 

"Don't call her baby!" Ricky calls from the front, screaching into the parking lot of the hospital. 

Me and Ricky start bringing her into the hospital lobby, running up to the receptionst. She looks up, her eyes instantly going wide as she sees Percy. She doesn't even ask questions she just checks the computer in front of her before rushing us into an empty room. Ricky lays Percy onto the bed, as a doctor rushes in, commanding nurses and other doctors with a shout into the speakers,

"Code Blue First floor, I repeat CODE BLUE FIRST FLOOR." 

Nurses run in and the first doctor commands them to help replace Percy's cloths, help him mop up the blood. The receptionist ushers us out of the little room, pulling us into the waiting room. Actions first, questions second, now is time for the questions. 

"I'll need her name and birth date?" 

I gave her the information, and she asks "How'd this happen?" 

"I'm sorry ma'am, but it's not my position to say, plus, I wasn't there." I explain and she just nods. 

"Alright, thank you boys, we'll contact you if any changes come about." She says

We nod, walking towards the waiting room chairs. I pull out my phone, dialing Skylynn. 

"Hey Rich boy."

"Now's not the time for nicknames Sky! Percy's at the hospital."

"What the heck Toby! I left her in your hands!"

"Yeah I know and she pickpocked my keys and drove back to that drunken idiot!" I yell into my phone.

"Oh gosh, he... he hurt her. How bad is it Toby?"

"Uh..."

"DON'T LIE TO ME RICH BOY!" She screams into my ear. 

"Sky... she isn't doing good, I don't know much." 

"I'm coming!" Is all she says before she hangs up, leaving a continual beeping in my ear. 

"Great." I mutter under my breath.

Me and Ricky each take a chair in the waiting room, and I rest my forehead in my hands. 

"Gosh, I'm an idiot! I should have been there sooner, should have stopped the truck!"
