Marked: Part 2; The Wronged

Chapter 45

Jasvinder gasped as he sat up from his bed, his breathing was hard. He looked around and then got up from his bed. He went to stand up but then smashed down on his bed. He couldn't put pressure on his feet. He could barely even talk, he was in so much pain. He didn't see anyone though, did they know he was home? He went down onto the floor, he was able to crawl. He got to the door and opened it. After he got through the doorway, he couldn't go anymore. So he sat outside his room on the wall, next to his doorway. A while later after he had fallen asleep, Elsie strolled by. She saw him but went into her room anyway. But then she stopped and slapped him in the face, which, made him wake up.

"Ow! Get your hands off of me!" he said slapping her away.

"What happened to you?!"

"What do you mean? I've been like this since last night, didn't you know I was home?!"

"Of course I did! You walked in and said you were tired and wanted to be left alone. So I didn't bother you today." Elsie shrugged. "And you didn't look like this."

"Well I didn't walk in last night. I don't even know how I got into my room."

"You didn't go out and do some, some illegal things did you, like drin-"

"Heavens no! Help me up, I must see Oglm immediately!"

"You are in no condition to go anywhere outside the house."

"Elsie, Jasvinder, everything alright up there?"

"Fine!" They both said together.

"Alright, don't get into trouble, now!"

"I need to get to his house El, Amilia's in trouble, and I need medical attention that only the Market can provide. Won't you help your brother."

"I would love to, but we can't let mom and dad see you like this. We can't pass them with you leaning on me! They'll think something is up. And I didn't hurt you this time."

"I'm not saying you did."

"Well, what's going on, I can tell Oglm for you."

"No, I need to tell him myself. Please, you have to trust me." He paused. "And help me, you owe me, remember? You pushed me out of a tree last year."

"Ugh." She groaned. "I remember."

He looked at her in the eye.

"Come on." She said bending down to grab him. She whipped his arm around her back and gently stood up with him on her. They slowly maneuvered down the stairs and looked out into the foyer. She didn't see her parents. "You see anything, Jassie?"

"Nope, but I may not be able to compute at the moment."

"Oh god."

"What?"

"I'm taking care of an adult baby." She laughed.

"Hardy, har, har, very funny, now let's go before they see us."

She shook her head to him and then tip toed to the front door. She still didn't see anyone and opened the door.

"Where are you guys going?" her mother yelled out from the kitchen. Elsie shoved Jasvinder out the door and shut it just a tad. "Sweetheart did you here me?"

"Oh, yeah mom, me and Jasvinder are just going to see Amilia."

"Ah, alright, text me your plans for tonight. I expect to hear from you and not worry if you don't come back, yes?"
