Everyone jumps at the same time when Crescent screams from the bathroom. Amber, Koza and Rhythm are stunned, but me and Zack instantly get up and begin to run up the stairs into Koza's room. I try opening the door, but it seems to be locked, I bang on it with all my strength, "CRESCENT!" I scream, "Unlock the door!" I yell once again, but no one answers. I look to Zack, and we share the same confused face. What the hell?
"Fuck it!" Zack exclaims, as he backs to the wall, and runs, full speed, into the wooden white door, which knocks it open.
"Where is Koza's mom, what the hell?" I whisper, as I bombarded the room, looking for Crescent, almost slipping, but steadying myself. "Zack, are you okay?" I ask, and Zack looks up horrified. I look down to see Crescent with a gash in her leg, and a shard of glass sticking out of it, "Oh, fuck!" I yell, and at that time, Rhythm, Koza and Amber come in.
"C-Crescent… NO!" She screams, and collapse on her knees, her hands firmly ahold of her head.
"Rhythm!" Amber runs over to her, and holds her, along with Koza.
"Shit, shit, shit," I say to myself, not knowing what to do.
"Mimmey, give my something to stop the bleeding, a cloth of some sort!" Zack demands.
I look around, but there is nothing around. Not even a towel. "Shit," I say to myself, but I realize. I'm wearing a piece of cloth. I instantly take off my shirt, and hand it too Zack, who applies pressure to the thigh of her leg, which cut off her circulation to the leg.
"I need you to hold her," he tells me.
"What?"
"Hold her!" He exclaims, and instantly I grab her, and hold her tightly to my chest, "everything is going to be okay, alright Crescent?" I whisper in her ear.
I look over to Zack, who looks back at my, his face shows leadership, but his eyes show fear. He doesn't know if he can stop the bleeding and save her.
"Zack, why did you tell me to hold her?" I ask him, and he looks at me like I am stupid.
"Why in the world would you ask a question like that at a time like this?!"
"Answering will divert your attention away from Crescent making you at ease while you treat her leg; now just answer the god damn question!" I demand.
"Oh, uh, well. If she woke up I need someone she is close to, to help her and sooth her, I would choose Rhythm but," he looks over to her, and she is on the floor, with Koza and Amber comforting her. He then shakes his head and begins to attend to the wound again.
"M-Mimmey what happened?" Crescent beings to wake up, and I smile hugging her.
"Dammit!" Zack yells, and I look at him, with a questioning look on my face. "The shard of glass is still in her leg, I was hoping she wouldn't wake up until after I got it out, it's going to be the most painful part," he trails off.
"Then why didn't you take that part out first!?" I ask.
"If I did she would have bled even more, I had to stop the bleeding first!" he yells, getting defensive.
I then look to the place where he was applying pressure, which now has a belt over it. Smart.
"Wait what?" Crescent begins to wake up a bit more and she look at her leg, her entire body shaking with either fear or pain, maybe both.
"Look, look, everything is going to be fine," I grab her chin gently, and move her head to face me, and we look each other in the eyes, and I can feel her ease just a bit.
"Crescent, this part is going to hurt, hurt like hell, are you ready," Zack ask, and I can see in the corner of my eye that he now has grabbed the shard, which is cutting into his hand slightly.
She nods, closing her eyes tightly waiting for the pain, and I reach up, intertwining our hands, and she squeezes it. "Don't be afraid, we're all right here," I comfort her, holding her closer to me.
"Alright, one, two, three!" he screams as he begins to pull at the shard, and I can hear Crescent try holding in the scream, as she has stopped breathing.
"Crescent, scream if you have to!" I ask her, and she lets out a loud scream, which bust my ear drums but she needs it.
I look over to the shard of glass, which Zack barely budged at all, but at least he did some work in moving it.
"Alright Crescent, again, o" he gets interrupted by Crescent.
"What, again, you mean you didn't pull it out last time!? Fuck, I wonder which is worse, child birth or this! Oh wait, at least in child birth you get fucking medicine! Dammit! Let me do it!" She demands.
"Wait, what? Crescent, you can't do it, let Zack," I try to convince her, but the next thing I know, she reaches for it and yanks it out with all her might, making her hand bleed, though it worked.
For a moment she doesn't say anything. "FUCK!" She screams, making me even jump.
Zack stood there amazed, but quickly gets to ripping my shirt into three, and covering the biggest piece over Crescent's shin, then rapping it over her hand and his own.
"Are you okay?" I ask after she gets done screaming, although she is too busy rocking back and forth in my arms, getting as close as she can to my chest, making my blush ever so slightly. In response, I rap my arms around her, "Crescent, it's okay, I promise, I won't let anything hurt you any more, I will always protect you," I don't even know what I am saying, but I let it out anyways, letting her know I am there, no matter what.
Zack, after watching us, gets up to get pain killers, but freezes when he sees the few pieces that's left of the shattered mirror.
"What, what is it?" I ask.
