Heal my Heart

Chapter 44 - Waking up

The crew drove to Grizz's old house - now remastered as a clinic - pretty fast and the guys helped Kelly carry him inside.

"Get him on the hospital bed, on his stomach." Kelly instructed.

"Kelly, you gotta help him..." an explorer said faintly.

"I'm gonna try what I can, but there's not much I can do..." she responded with anxiety in her voice.

"What do you mean there's not much you can do?! You have to save him, Kelly!" another guy stepped in.

"Who do you think I am, do I look like some fucking real doctor to you?!" she snapped.

"I get that it's not looking good, but..." some girl said.

"He's fucking bleeding out! His whole back is fucking open! My power only allows me to see where the pain is, not to heal it. I'm not Grizz, okay?" Kelly said before going back to Grizz's side.

"I'm sorry, okay? I just...I don't want him to die." the girl sobbed.

"I'm gonna do everything I can, alright? Gordie, take off his sweater, we need to see exactly how bad it is." she said.

The young man did exactly as he was told, careful not to touch his back too much.

"Argh!" Grizz screamed in pain as they took his sweatshirt off.

"It's okay, Grizz, we just need to see your back." Kelly tried to sooth her friend.

"...Sa...m..."

"What is it, Grizz?" some guy approached him.

"...Sam...Arg! Get Sam..." he winced in pain.

"Go get him, he needs to know what's going on." Gordie instructed.

"While I try to stop the bleeding, can one of you explain exactly what happened, please?" Kelly asked the exploration crew.

"A wild wolf attacked us." a girl said.

"What?!" Gordie almost shouted.

"Well, we knew this expedition could be really dangerous." Kelly calmly responded.

"I don't know if we would have been attacked if Gwen didn't have this fucking ca..." a guy said and was shushed by another explorer.

"Grizz said that we shouldn't tell people yet..." he whispered to him.

"By the way, where is Gwen?" Kelly asked.

"I think she's outside, I saw her crying in front of the hospital." Gordie answered.

"Where is he?! Where the fuck is he?!" Kelly heard Sam shouting in the background.

The deaf boy was panicking after finding Gwen crying in front of the clinic, asking him to forgive him for what she did to Grizz. He ran into the emergency bedroom, only to find his lover on his stomach, a pool of blood forming on the bed.

"Oh my God..." Sam whispered, kneeling beside his boyfriend.

"...Sam...I'm...so...sorry.." the injured boy mumbled in pain.

"It's okay, Grizz, don't talk, love. I'm here now, everything's gonna be fine." he tried to reassure his lover.

"Argh!!!" Grizz screamed after Kelly tried to wash the wound.

"I'm sorry, Grizz, there's nothing I can do for your wound to heal right now..." Kelly said seriously.

"How come you can't do anything?!" Sam asked upset.

"I'm only able to help with small wounds, you know. The other times, Grizz was there to heal the serious injuries..."

"Yeah, but..."
