The Three Of Us

Chapter 51

There is Jacob, on top of hunter pounding his fist into Hunters face. I try yelling but it doesn't over mask the chanting of the people around. Without thinking I jump in between the two. Jacob swings really hard and hits my ribs, and once more in the face. I feel my lip bleeding and it feels like I have just broken my ribs. I look over at hunter who is passed out. I turn back at Jacob just as his fit collides with my jaw. It makes my head fall back and hit the floor.
"Stop it!" I scream tears coming out of my eyes because of the pain.
"Carter, oh my god I'm so sorry I didn't know you had gotten in between us." I sit up and cry in pain. I slowly and painfully go over to hunter and try waking him up.
"Hunter please wake up."
"EVERYONE OUT OF THE WAY." I hear the principle yell as ambulance guys put hunter on a stretcher.
"No, please let me go with him." I ask.
"Okay, but you will also have to get checked out." I nod my head and go as fast as I can after hunter. I get into the ambulance and we drive off to the hospital. We get there and they bring Hunter to a room that I'm not aloud to go into, they stick me in a room to be check by the doctor. I try staying awake but I can and I drift off to sleep.
***
I'm awaken my dallas shaking my arm. I wake up and sit up, the doctor is there. He does his check up and tells me that there is nothing serious but some bruises and cuts and then tells me I am free to go.
"So, what happened?" I ask.
"Jacob is suspended." Mickey says.
"Really? That's it." I ask and she nods.
"They really need him on the hockey team."
"That is so stupid." I walk into hunters room and he is sleeping so I sit down next to him and tell mickey and dallas that they can go.
"Text me when you get home." Dallas says.
"Okay." They walk out. I look at Hunter. His face is bruised and cut. I look out the window that is in his room and the view is beautiful. I find myself staring at it but something breaks me out of my thoughts.
"Have you been here this whole time?" I turn my head to Hunter who is now awake.
"Well, I had to get checked up so I have only been sitting here for about 5 minutes."
"Thanks." he says.
"For what?"
"You stepped in when no one else would. You risked being beaten to help me, and I don't just mean about the fight."
"You welcome. And I did that because I care about you, but what do you mean." He sighs and takes my hand in his.
"Remember when we met in New York?" I nod my head.
"Well the reason we were there because our parents had just been killed so we were going to live with our aunt and me and my broters just need some time to do stupid shit like get drunk and laid. Anyways there was no one there for me but then came you and you saved me." I squeeze his hand in mine trying to take in all this new information.

Hey, don't have much to say.
