In Too Deep (A Boondocks Saint Fan Fic)

Savior

"Oh my god." Eunis whispered as Murphy and Connor burst into the house. Abby was tucked against the vast expanse of Murphy's chest, her broken arm dangling beside her. Her blood had soaked into his black turtle neck but he didn't care. Nothing mattered right now besides cleaning her up and stitching the wound. He had ripped his pea coat apart and used it to pull tight knots around her wrist, the center of the wound and again at the top.

"You've got to help her!" Murphy begged.

Connor moved across the room and pushed all of the utensils and bottles across the counter. "Put her on the counter Murph!" He yelled.

"Romeo get me the first aid kit!" Eunis yelled as she helped Murphy spread out the body of the girl on the counter, laying her on her back.

Murphy pushed the bloody hair out of her face, holding her cool cheek in his hand. "We have to help her! If she dies like this... She can't-"

"I know Murphy." Eunis cut off his stream of words as she grabbed one of the kitchen towels. "What happened?"

"She...." Murphy's words caught. "She did it...she did this to herself. Why? Christ!" He put his forehead to hers, breaths coming out on hard gasps. He could smell the blood on her skin; feel it coating his fingers when he touched her. His eyes were burning as they tried to hold in tears.

Eunis glanced up at the worried Connor who was chewing on his lip hard. Romeo rushed back in, trying not to look at the bleeding girl and knowing that he wouldn't be able to handle it. "Murphy," She said as she took the large yellow first aid case and tore it open. "Murphy you need to let go of her."

"No." Murphy said quickly, his hand gripping into the thick bloody strands of hair.

Eunis frowned and looked up at Connor. "I can't stitch her up with you hanging onto her Murphy."

"I'm not letting her go." Murphy hissed.

"Connor!" Eunis yelled.

"Come on brother." Connor gripped his brother's shoulder and pulled him hard. His other hand came to his brother's ribs to pull him away from her, tearing him away from her and into the living room as Romeo helped to get a needle and thread ready for stitching.

"Fuck fuck fuck." Romeo muttered as his hands shook.

"Calm down." Eunis told him. "It doesn't look like she got what she needed to to..."

"She's bleeding a lot...." Romeo tried to hold in his heaving chest. He looked as if he was going to be sick.

"Christ..." Connor muttered as Murphy finally stopped fighting him once they got into the living room. "Come on Murph! Ya gotta hold it together."

Murphy slumped onto the coffee table with his face in his hands. "She's fucking dying Connor! She killed herself!"

"She isn't gunna die Murph!" Connor told him though he wasn't nearly as sure as he said it. "Look at me brother!" Murphy looked up and Connor felt his stomach drop at the sight of tears staining his brothers cheeks. "Oh fuck Murphy..." He sat down next to him on the table as Murphy dropped his head down and started shaking it with his eyes squeezed shut.

"What the hell was she thinking?" Murphy chocked out. "When I thought she'd left that was enough to drive me insane but this? This will kill me!"

Connor gripped his brothers shoulder hard. "We don't know what was going on Murph. But she's gunna wake up and she'll tell us."

Murphy nodded slowly into his own hands.

"CONNOR!" Both of their heads shot up at the sound of Eunis's voice. "Get in here!"
