"What do you think would happen if I mixed these?" Corbyn asked.
Zach rolled his eyes at his boyfriend. "You know that we're not supposed to mix ammonia with anything."
"I'd do it outside," Corbyn pouted.
"No," Zach said. "Nerd."
Daniel ran downstairs. "I'm heading out, Zach let's go."
"Me?" Zach asked. "Why?"
"Basketball," Daniel replied.
"Say less," Zach replied.
The boys went out and went to the basketball court nearby. They got a group of guys and played for almost two hours. Zach and one of the boys collided. Oh man, I'm so sorry."
Zach shook his head. "No, I'm fine."
After that, the boys decided to go home and relax. They joined the others on the couch for a movie. Zach was in pain from the fall and something felt off.
"You okay?" Jack asked.
Zach shook his head as he stood up. "I think I'm gonna be sick."
"You need me to come with you?" Corbyn asked.
"No," he muttered.
Jonah glanced at Jack. "That was odd."
"Maybe he'll feel better after getting it out of his system," Daniel sighed.
Zach wandered into the kitchen and Jonah looked up from his phone. "You okay?"
Zach shrugged as he wet a towel and put it on his neck. "I don't know," he replied and ran back to the bathroom.
Corbyn got up and went to the bathroom door. "Z? You need help?"
"No," Zach muttered.
A few minutes later Zach appeared looking worse than before. He curled up in Corbyn's arms and dozed off.
He woke up and moaned as the pain got worse. Jack frowned. "Do we need to go to a doctor?"
"I don't know," Zach stammered, doubling over from the pain.
"Should I get you a trash can or something?" Jonah asked.
"Not right now," Zach moaned, tired of the questions.
Corbyn gently hugged his boyfriend. "I'm so sorry."
Daniel's eyes widened. "Oh yeah. We were playing basketball and he collided with this other dude. Said he was fine though."
"Hurts worse now," Zach replied through gritted teeth.
"Go back to sleep and see how that goes," Jack said gently.
Zach did eventually go back to sleep. An hour later he woke up and ran to the bathroom. Corbyn hurried to him.
Zach gritted his teeth as his stomach began to get worse. He put a hand on his side. He'd never felt this pain before. A sharp pain went through him and he screamed. "CORBYN! DANI!"
The boys all ran to Zach to see what had happened. Corbyn positioned himself behind Zach to keep him upright. Zach fell against Corbyn's chest shakily. "What's wrong?" Corbyn asked.
Zach's nails dug into Corbyn's wrist as the pain kept getting worse. "Call an ambulance," Corbyn stammered.
Jonah cleaned out the sink while Jack called the ambulance. Daniel stroked Zach's hair. "I'm going to see what's wrong okay?"
Zach couldn't respond. He was shaking from the pain. Daniel nodded and gently placed his hands on the right side of Zach's stomach. A small moan sounded but that didn't seem to be the problem. Daniel pressed the middle and Zach squirmed trying to get away. Daniel barely touched Zach's left side before he let out an ear shattering scream. "What the hell?" Jonah stammered.
"Ribs and stomach? What is this?" Daniel asked.
Zach suddenly went silent and completely limp. "No. Stay with me Z."
Zach didn't respond. The sound of sirens relieved the boys. Jack opened the door and three medics with a stretcher ran in. "Where is he?"
"In there," Jack said pointing towards the room .
The older medic knelt beside Zach and checked his vitals. "Breathing and everything is good."
The second medic lifted Zach's shirt and gasped. "He may need emergency surgery. Where his stomach is hot and slightly red is where an injury is located."
They loaded Zach into the ambulance. "LA general is where we're headed."
Zach's eyes fluttered open and he looked lazily around the ambulance. A sharp pain went through him and he passed out again.
The medics got Zach out of the ambulance and straight to the CT scan. After looking at the results they nodded in agreement. "He needs surgery right now."
Zach regained consciousness and winced as the doctor felt along his stomach. The doctor felt Zach's lower abdomen and Zach screamed. "Keep him down. I'll get the anesthesia."
A doctor walked into the waiting room approaching the four boys. "Zach's stomach has ruptured from a rib that punctured it. There was definitely something causing this rib to even be where it was. Anyway, there is some internal bleeding and possible infection."
"Infection?" Jonah asked.
"His stomach contents are now outside of the stomach which has led to an infection. It's fixable," the doctor said.
Two surgeons stood over Zach as they put gloves on. Zach's eyes were barely open as he seemed to watch them. "Okay Zach. We're going to put you under now. Just relax. You can sleep now."
Zach barely nodded before blacking out. The surgeon counted to thirty, just to be sure Zach was actually asleep. "Scalpel."
The surgeons talked as they worked on finding any bleeding. After several hours, they were done. Zach was wheeled into his room by a nurse and the boys were waiting in there.
Corbyn approached Zach's bedside as the boy moaned. "How you feeling buddy?"
Zach felt his stomach until he found the stitches. "Sore."
"I bet. You'll be able to go home soon and we'll just rest," Jonah said.
"Mhm," Zach murmured and dozed off.
Not the best ending but I love this one a lot. Welcome back to sicfics which will be randomly updated ♥️
