Julio's P.O.V (just testing the waters)
I overhear the cashier talking to the person in front of me. The strawberry blonde hair coupled with the body structure looks familiar and immediately she speaks up I recognise her as Karyn. I decide to help her out already hearing what the cashier is saying to her.
"Don't worry I got this. How can you tell her to go back? As you can see she's not feeling too well" I speak up paying for her.
"Umm thank you but there's no use." She says as the cashier packs up her
things in plastic bags.
"You're welcome." I say ignoring the last part of her sentence.I pick up her last bag and hand it over to her. Just then I notice the hand print on her face and how pale her skin actually looks. She notices my expression and she becomes paler if that's even possible. She hurried out of the shop and I urge the cashier to hurry up so that I can catch up to her.
I put my things on the passenger seat and hop in. After starting my car up. I spot her looking like her legs are about to give up any minute.
Immediately I catch up with her I know I can't let her go home all by herself for God's sake look at how pale she looks it was sickening. I am really scared for her even though we are not the best of friends I have a heart and I know pain when I see it. Who knew someone as hot tempered ad Karyn could be weak.
"Karyn are you ok? Let me help you get home. You can't walk this late." I say trying to read on with her.
"No thank you. I'm not your problem." She crooks out looking control of her body movement.
"Look you're not okay, the hand print coupled with how pale you're looking says otherwise." I say putting my hand on her shoulder.
She pushes my hand off her like I'm venom. I look at my fingers and I notice there's a small reddish liquod on it.
Blood
I notice her sweater is slowly being clothed by it.
"Shit you're bleeding. I think we need to get you to a doctor." I say. I hate blood, even though I'm use to the sight, it's still sickening.
"No I'm actually fi-" she starts but immediately collapses. Fortunately I'm quick to catch her before her head comes in contact with the concrete floor.
I panic slightly and gather her up in my arms placing her at the back seat of my car so she'll have enough space to lay down. I place her groceries in my trunk. I take her to a hospital I know too well because my uncle is the hospital director. I park my car in the parking lot and open the door carrying Karyn bridal style. Her phone starts to ring in her pocket but I ignore it and place it in my own pocket.
I can see her shoulder bleeding and it looks like her back too has started bleeding a little.
Where's all this blood coming from.
As I carry her, the back of her shirt rides up a little and I feel open wounds.
What the hell??
Her skin looks so pale like a sheet of paper and I'm scared that she might die because of how much blood she's losing. I enter the hospital looking like shouting at all the nurses to get her to my uncle to attend to her personally.
The nurses to take her in and order me to stay in the waiting room. After a few minutes her phone starts to vibrate and the number belongs to her friend Skylar. I decide to answer it because I've seen a lot of missed calls from her and a girl called Jade.
