~Carlos' POV~

Never in my life I would think I was going to die. Everything was happening too fast. Fellow soldiers were being shoot, hurt, and killed next me. My father was beside me as we were trying to stay alive.

"Carlos focus!" My dad said, dragging me. I was in so much pain. I was stabbed on my side and I couldn't walk, any knees weak, and my eye lids were closing.

"D-dad I can't..." My voice was deep and getting lower as I talked.

"We are almost there, son." My dad said. "Just a few more people to take down."

"Zayn!" We heard Louis call. "We need to retreat, we are losing too many people!"

"Alright." My dad said.

"Retreat! Retreat!" Liam shouted. "Back to the camp!"

Louis and my father helped me back to camp. They put me on the bed as started to feel all pain come back to me.

"Ahhhh, shit!" I screamed.

My father helped me to take my shirt off. His eyes widen.

"D-dad what's wrong?" I asked.

"Son..dont look down." He said.

I arched my back as the pain shot through my back.

"Fuck." I cried. I was panting really heavy, my lungs were starting to give up on me, and my eyes were getting heavier.

Shit, I'm looking down. I looked down at my stab wound. Holy fuck..that is huge!

"Dad! Dad! I don't wanna die!" I sob.

My dad and Louis and Liam run back in the room with stuff in there hands.

I put my hands on my bloody wound. I shut my eyes as I bit my lip.

"Calm down." My dad said. He put his hand on my forehead. "If you don't calm down, your dumbass will bleed out."

"Don't listen to your dad, he's being mean." Louis said. "Move your hands."

I moved my hands as Louis studied it. He pulled out a bottle that said, 'peroxide' oh hell no!

"No! That shit burns!" I said, trying to get up.

"Hold him!" Louis said.

"No!" I sobbed.

"Carlos this is going to help you." Louis said. "Please."

I was going nuts, I was out of it. Is this how the war really is?

"Dad, I-I'm going to die." I said, looking at him.

"No you are not. Your mother will kill me." He said. "Son, you are going to get through this."

I screamed in pain when Louis poured the liquid on my wound.

"Your wound is clean now, I have to see if there's anything in it so you won't get infection."

Just when I was about to Louis pulled out a little sharp thing.

"What the fuck?!" I screamed.

"I'm going to have to stitch this." Louis said. When I was little, I was terrified of needles.

"Dad! Don't let him!" I sobbed. "No!"

"Carlos." My dad said. "If you don't let Louis help you, you will die."

I took a deep breathe. "Fine."

"You might want to bit this." Liam handed me a clean shirt.

I put it on my mouth and closed my eyes. I screamed in the shirt when Louis put the needle in my skin.

"It's almost over, Carlos."

****

I woke up with a sting in my side. I groaned sitting up when I saw my father next to me.

"Dad." I shook him.

He sat up slowly as his eyes opened. "How are you feeling?"

"I feel like shit." I said. "My side hurts really bad."

"Try to stand up." He said.

I got up but then stumbled. My father caught me. "Study there, son." I nodded as I sat back down. I looked up at my father.

"Dad." I said.

"Yes?" He said.

"Is this the start of a real war?" I asked.

"For you, yeah but for me no. This is like any other one I've been in but it's getting worse. You'll get throught, I promise." My father said.

I wish I could see Maria, I bet she's worried.
