Chapter 23: blood is red, Felix is blue, Sam has got some attitude
Felix rang up Mr Wilson and he is on his way. We are currently down in the kitchen trying to clean up all the blood on the bench top, while it flows down onto the floor. Felix has lost so much blood, I don't think he is going to be conscious when Mr Wilson gets here. Strangely enough we haven't heard anything from Sam, he has been upstairs the whole time making not even the slightest of sounds. I turn back to Felix and look at his pained expression, he has lost all the colour in his face. He looks ill.
"Thalia?" He croaks.
"Yeah Felix?" I respond, worried he is going to fall.
"Why are there lots of black dots everywhere? Are they flies?" He says in a dreamy tone.
"Felix as sleepy as you are I need you to stay with me okay?" I give him a stern voice.
Ding dong!
The doorbell rings and I look back at Felix before leaving the room, "stay here and don't move!" I warn.
I walk to the front door and open it revealing a very happy Winter. "Hey I haven't seen you in days, you even had school off today what's going on?"
"Look Winter, I'm sorry, I will explain and I have bigger problems on my hands right now," I try to shoo her away kindly but she notices my distress and barges through to the kitchen when I hear a bloodcurdling scream.
I ran to the kitchen and Sam has also us graced us with his presence, looking at the scene before us. Felix is lying on the ground, unconscious in a small pool of his own blood, white as a ghost.
Sam immediately takes action and phones the ambulance explaining the situation to the person on the other line. He hangs up and runs his fingers through his hair and groans. "They said they will come ASAP, but that will take about 15 minutes to get here," he sighs.
Winter goes and grabs a mop to seep up the blood while Sam and I pick up Felix. I wipe him down from all the blood and Sam gets out the first aid kit trying to clot the blood somehow. I try to block out what Sam is doing because blood, needles, and first aid just freak me out, big time. I feel like I'm going to vomit and Sam notices my pale state.
"Sit down Thalia, we don't want two unconscious beings now do we?" He smiles and wipes it off his face just as fast with the glare I send his way. "I didn't mean for this to happen you know? It's not my fault th-".
I glare him down and cut his snarky words off, "what?" I challenge, "it's not your fault that you don't trust me?" This time I raise my voice while giving my most venomous look I could muster.
"What were you doing in Felix's room and falling asleep on his bed huh?" He accuses.
"Don't go sending accusations around! I was sad okay, I was with Felix and you know what I did? I cried on his shoulder because he is the closest thing I have to a brother and I love him, like a brother. There is a big difference Sam between loving someone and being in love with someone," I snap and walk over to the sink in silence, rinsing the bloody cloth I had used to clean Felix of his own blood. I start to scrub the disgusting blood from under my fingernails, gross.
"Maybe there is a reason I don't trust others guys around you," he mumbles grumpily.
"Like what?" I snap, tossing the cloth in the sink and seeing if I missed any blood on Felix.
He looks up and into my eyes deeply, his piercing blue eyes were not going to cut it right now, I am pissed off. " The fact that every guy at school is drooling over you, that's all they talk about in the locker rooms, even with me around. You should hear some of the disgusting things they want to do to you. I know you can't help being that beautiful but, Felix doesn't see you as a just a sister, he sees you as so much more, just like Drew did." He sighs and turns back to his stitching.
"Drew is my best friend," I look at the ground and sigh heavily, "but I realise he did have feelings towards me, I feel bad we never really talked about it too, but Felix is just a brother to me, nothing more, nothing less. I swear to you that Felix has no feelings for me-" but I am cut off by Sam's outburst.
"You know that is absolute bullshit." he seethes and finishes his last neat stitch and ties it off. "That guy is in love with you," his voice now calmer as he points accusingly at poor, unconscious Felix.
Just before I have the chance to answer back, the ambulance comes speeding up the driveway, the sirens blaring. Sam and I each grab an end of Felix, I'm clutching onto his pale ankles. Winter rushes over to the door and lets the professionals run in with a strecher. We lift him up onto it and they wheel his into the back of the ambulance. Winter, Sam and myself all try to jump in with Felix, but one of the guys stop our entry and states quite rudely, "Family only,".
I jump in the back with Felix and Winter grasps my wrist before we leave,"We'll meet you there, good luck,".
We drive away, past all the traffic and all I can do is stare straight ahead while the doctors rush around the inside of the ambulance with different equipment. I can't lose him, I can not lose him. My breathing suddenly becomes harder and my urge to stay awake is fading. A doctor kneels down in front of me and smiles, "Your brother is going to be okay, " his voice starts to sounds so distant and unregonisable. Felix was right, there are black dots everywhere but they don't look like flies, "Hello, are you awake, can you hear me?" Thats when I slip into a cloack of darkness, feeling as though I'm being suffocated. Not again, why?
