Oz was laying down on the bed, Gil was sitting next to him putting the madison on his back."S-stop!" Oz cried "No Oz, you need this." Gil rubbed in the medication. Both Maci and the nurse breathed out there blush subsiding, " Well I see you have everything under control." Oz snapped his head up and looked at them, "W-where's my dad?" the nurse came over and helped with the medicine, "He's not coming back anytime soon sweety." she said comforting him. Oz shivered "You cold?" Gil said noticing the fan had been turned on, "A-a little, but I-I'm ok." Maci turned off the fan "Here dear." Oz smiled softly, then yelped. "OW!" he sat up turning his head to try to look at his back a new mark had appeared out of nowhere. More bruises, cuts and scrapes showed up as Oz whimpered "Hehe, I guess I forgot he could do that." he fell to the floor screaming, he was bleeding from his stomach like he had been stabbed. Tears fell from his eyes, "What the hell's going on?!" Gil shreaked in horror. They called an ambulance and the nurse applied pressure to the wound, Gil rapped a jacket tightly around waist "Shit, what are we supposed to do?!" the nurse cried. It took 4 minutes for the ambulance to arrive, they took Oz's lifeless body and set it on the gurney and quickly rushed him to the hospital. All three of the teachers got in there cars and drove to the hospital in a rush, "Oz, please be ok." Gil whispered to himself. when they arrived they ran to the entrance of the building, they all three bursted through the doors behind Oz, the nurses and doctors soon surrounded Oz and started to talk amongst themselves. Oz was wide awake screaming from the pain and reaching for Gil, Gil ran trying to get to Oz but was held back by Maci the school nurse and some doctors. "Oz!" he dropped to his knees and cried "...Oz...", Maci hugged Gil, "It's ok, he'll be fine." she said with worry, "He's a strong and student kid." Maci looked at the emergency room doors, "He has to be..."
7 weeks went by and classmates came to see Oz, "Why are you in the hospital?!" Alice demanded "Alice I already told you I don't want to talk about it" Oz pulled the blanket over his legs "Oz, come on, tell us we're not going to be mad at you." Sharon tried to convince him. "No" Gil came in the room, "Hey what's up?" Oz smiled "Nothing." Break looked at Gil confused "Why are you here?" Gil had an irritated expression, "Oz yous should really tell them." Oz seemed to shrink "B-but you said th-that I d-didn't have to." he shifted uncomfortable, "No I said you didn't have to tell them then, but it's been 7 weeks. You should really tell them now, They won't stop asking me at school to see if they can leave to come see you, so just get it over with." he explained. Oz looked out the window "O-okay fine, m-my dad has been hitting me for a long time and was taken to prison, and my u-uncle is dead. S-so my sister and I d-didn't have someone to look after us and well..." he mumbled something, "What was that last part? I couldn't hear." Sharon got concerned, "Are you ashamed or something?" Gil was rather hurt "No, I-I just... not really used to saying it." he blushed and looked at Gil. Gil understood, "Do you want me to tell them?" he put his hands on Oz's shoulders, he flinched not used to being touched in a gentle way "I-if you th-think it's important." his head went down. The three stood silence, processing what Oz had said about his dad. A nurse brought Ada into the room who as soon as she saw him started to say 'moma' "She wanted to see you." they gave her to Oz "hehehe, you've gotten bigger." his heart sank "since he doesn't have anyone to take care of him or his sister, I'm going to adopt them." Ada looked at Gil "Dadda" both Gil and Oz's eyes widened a blush as dark as blood appeared on Oz's face, he handed Ada to Gil. "WHAT?!" Alice shouted "can't someone else take you in? Instead of your teacher. That just screams petafile to me." Oz blushed, "Well my uncle asked if he would take us in before he died. I-I never really thought of it as weird, but I can see where you're coming from." he looked at Gil how was pissed at being called petafile, "Hey the inportant part is that I know he's not and that I trust him to take care of us." Oz took Gil's hand to get his attention. Gil looked down at Oz, Oz asked softly "Do you want to hold her?" he held Ada up, "Sure." Gil scooped her out of Oz's arms, "Anyway it was my uncle who asked not me, and if my uncle wanted it then I'll do it." Oz added glaring at Alice. "Well if your uncle trust's him enough then I guess we will have to deal with it." Sharon said delighted as she hit Alice on the back of the head, "Ow!" she rubbed her head, Sharon smiled "Well I guess we'll be leaving then we have a very important um... matters to attend to." they walked out the door, "Uhhh? Bye?" Oz said confused.
