The Stars During Winter (Countryhumans RUSAME) [Completed]

Chapter 15: part 2

America's POV:

I'm at the second floor searching for Russia, and it seems like I got a bit lost. I've rarely been to the second floor, and this is where my brother Australia is. Which gave me an idea. Australia mostly goes to the science lab every lunch break, and it's one of a few places I remembered where, so I went to the College Science Laboratory.

After a few minutes later, I arrived at the science lab and saw my brother feeding a little white mouse inside a cage.

America: "Hello Aussie"

Australia: "Hello there, dear brother...wait..what brings you here?"

America: "I was just trying to find one of my friends. Do you know where the restrooms are?"

Australia: "Oh! Just turn right from here, then twenty steps to the left. You can't miss it"

America: "Okay, thanks Australia"

He then waved goodbye at me as I gently closed the door, then continued to find Russia. While walking, I still couldn't stop thinking about him. What is he doing here in the second floor? Is he even okay? All these questions kept popping inside my head.

I'm back at the main hall, I turned left and counted twenty steps. I stopped counting and turned my head to the left, I saw a short hallway. As I went in, I saw two doors, one was a pink door and the other one was a dark blue door. I knocked at the dark blue one  and immediately got a response, the voice was all too familiar and I quickly opened the door.

America: "Hey Russia, are you okay-*gasp*"

My eyes widened, I couldn't even move, and I felt my heart just sunk. I was so petrified to see what I just saw. Russia's arms are all covered in scars and freshly cut wounds filled with blood, at the sink was a gauze bandage and an ice shard.

America: "R-Russia...wh-what are you d-doing?"

Russia: "America please don't freak out-"

America: "HOW CAN I NOT FREAK OUT!? RUSSIA, YOU'RE HURT!!...W-WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO YOURSELF!!?"

After shouting at him my eyes were focused on his arms, they were shaking a bit and the blood continued to come out of his skin. Once I touched it, Russia flinched and quickly moved away from me. His eyes are a bit red and there are a few tears too.

America: "R-Russia i'm sorry...h-have you been crying?"

Russia didn't say anything, but he let out a deep sigh and looked down at the floor. The bell already rang meaning lunch is finally over, but I can't just leave Russia here to suffer. I paused for a while, and looked at the tall russian, he's so helpless and in pain.

My phone rang and it was my brother Canada. I looked at my phone and looked at Russia again, I sighed and answered the call.

Canada: "Hey America, where are you? Training is about to start"

America: "You guys go on without me, I have something important to do"

Canada: "Alright brother, bye"

I hang up and went over to Russia. He's still not talking nor moving, which made me even more upset. I grabbed the gauze bandage and break the ice shard, I saw Russia's ushanka on the floor and placed it on his fluffy head. He looked at me with sad eyes and I just let out a reassuring smile.

America: "How about we go to Ms. Switzerland, Russia?"

Russia: "This is no big deal, America. Just leave me be...I can do this myself.."

America: "I'm not leaving you..."

Russia: "..."
