Chapter Text
Four weeks after the battle that had happened me and Ellie walked down the clean hospital hallway making our way to Elliot's room. I pushed the door open. We had made Ellie wear an eyepatch to cover her extra eyes. I wore a floral mask “hey elliot” “ethan!” “Hey Elliot, how you doing? '' I sat on the edge of the pristine white hospital bed. It was my first time in an actual hospital other than the ones in the back rooms but those don't really count. “Well everything is fuzzy about what happened but i know i got stabbed at some point i kinda remember what happened tho i remember you saying something about me that i didn't tell you and that you said something like cause i'm i can't put my finger on it but it's there i promise ” “elliot its okay you don't-” “tell me word for word what happened” “what!?” “tell me what happend word for word” “uh well i had saved you and you started to freak out and i told you i knew about what happend to your mom and sister and it just started to kinda slip out and i said” “what…” elliots mouth was clenched shut he was mad i was stuttering over my words i couldn't i “i’m sorry i can't do this right now” i immediately bolted out of the room to the nearest bathroom i couldn't handle it happening again ellie chased after me i could hear her yelling “PAPA COME back!!!” “I'm sorry” I mumbled under my breath. I couldn't handle him being mad at me i couldnt handle everything. I felt like the room was closing in on me like there wasn't enough air to breathe. I was hyperventilating and I felt sick. I pulled my mask of and pushed my bangs up hurk i started coughing up thick black ink like substance cough “dammit” cough cough Hurk i coughed up more of the black ink i pushed myself up to lean against the stall cough cough it was starting to get easier to breathe but not by much my head was having a field day tho i dug around in my pockets and pulled out an ibuprofen chewable tablet out of my pocket i carried them on me just in case stuff like this happens. I popped one out of the casing and popped it in my mouth and chewed it up. My throat was dry and I had tears rolling down my face. “papa are you in here” “yeah ellie i'm right here” i quickly removed any traces of my tears away. ellie was all snot faced from crying she sat down on the floor by me “pap elliots is worried about you” “i know…” “you okay now” “yeah sweetheart im fine just a little shaken up i’ll be out in a minute” “okay” “i’ll go tell him you're okay” “okay sweetie” she ran out the door shutting behind her i leaned my head back “why do i have to be like this maybe mom was right about me…” i pushed myself up and walked over to the sinks i took my gloves of i had a multiple band aids on my hands from the fight. I rolled my sleeves up and there were scars from when… I… lost all faith in really anyone, I mean who would blame me when I was nine. I made my way back to elliot's room he was sitting up straight talking to a nurse
“Ah ethan your back… oh um nurse lorena this is ethan he’ll be the one to do the discharging paperwork” “ah right this way then ethan'' the nurse was average dark hair tied into a low bun but something was off about her i could feel it… i signed elliot out of the hospital we started to make our way to the car and i felt something grab my hand i turned to see who it was but it was just elliot “no running this time what happend four weeks ago ethan” “elliot this is not the time were in public what if there's someone listening in on us” “fine we'll talk at home”
