A Leaders Struggle (SuLay)

Concussed

Empty meaningless words sounded all around me, the only thing that actually made it into my head was Lay, all of the memories of us together flashed through my mind, one after the other. I cant lose him, not now, not when we we were so close. I wrapped my arms around my knees and started rocking back and forth 'i can lose him, now that i've decided not to live without him...please don't take him from me' i pleaded with a higher power, any higher power that will answer my call.

Suddenly a sharp pain ripped across my face interrupting my inner thoughts and i slammed back into reality, my face burning and my ear slightly ringing.

I stared wide eyed and open mouthed at Baekhyun who was crouched down in front of me gazing at me angrily "Suho?" he asked.

"D-did you just slap me?" i asked placing a hand lightly on my cheek.

Baekhyun breathed a sigh of relief before hardening his gaze "good i have your attention, now listen to me Suho, you have to pull yourself together. You're always talking about the importance of being a leader, and taking responsibility in stressful situations. Well now it's time to prove that to us, so put your big girl panties on and get your ass in gear"

I sucked in a breath, but knew he was right... sitting here on the floor falling to peices wasn't helping anyone, and Lay was still missing. "ok" i said starting to stand and Baekhyun caught my arm helping me up. "So did Kai say that Lay was deffinatly in the car with him during the accident?"

D.O. nods "yes, but we didnt get to talk to him long before the nurse ushered us out of the room"

I sigh "ok, let's go talk to Kai, and then we can go from there"

D.O. bites his lip before answering to the floor "the nurse said we can't till she's done with Kai"

My jaw locks and a low growl comes from my throat which surprised even me "we'll see about that" i opened the door, throwing it to the side, and rushed to Kai. "are you alright?" i asked.

"Suho" Kai smiles then winces "Yeah i'm fine, just some bruises and cuts"

"Ugh, how many times do i have to kick people out of this room?" a nurse asks comming back into the room.

I turn and lift an eyebrow "well then maybe a simple fix would be to stop forcing us to leave"

the nurses eye bulged and she opened her mouth like she was about to protest but i held up a hand to stop her.

"Miss, i'm not trying to be rude, but this man is one of my best friends, he's like a brother to me, and if you need to take care of his wounds then fine, i'll stay out of your way, but there is no way in hell i'm leaving his side." I deadpan.

The nurse opened her mouth again to say something, but once again stayed silent and just nods, continuing her work on Kai.

"Now Kai, where's Lay?" i ask pointing my attention at to the bruised and cut up boy in front of me who was staring at me with shock and awe.

"I dont know, he was here just minutes before you guys got here, after he was asked to leave the room i have no idea where he went" Kai said looking concerened "i told him he should get checked out, but he refused... he seemed more concerned about me than himself"

I smile lightly relived that Lay was alive and safe "well that's just Lay, but was he ok? did he have any cuts or bruises?"

"Not really, though he did black out after we got hit, the car hit his side, so i'm sure he hit his head... but he was up walking and talking by the time the ambulance got there so they didn't make him get checked up by the doctor" Kai bit his lip and looked down at the ground "i'm really sorry Suho, i didnt see the ice... i should have been paying more attention..."
