T-this…this is all my fault…this is all my fault, THIS IS ALL MY FAULT. I clutched my head in agony as images filled my head again, the color red flashing as I saw images thing I couldn't make out. Tears of pain started to run down my left cheek and I felt that strange feeling of emptiness on my covered eye. "MATTIE!" I heard Alfred and Liz shout in unison as I let out a cry of pain. I wanted to speak but I was getting choked up with my own words. I felt like I was going to drown before I could even figure out what had happened.
"Mattie calm down you can't strain yourself" the pounding in my head stopped and my shoulders relaxed again. "Mattie?" Alfred asked in a hushed voice. I didn't respond immediately, I just kept my head ducked between my arms.
"I…I need to see him" I finally managed to say. Al was shocked. I looked at him in the eyes with tears still flowing down my left eye "please…I need to see him" Alfred opened his mouth to protest but closed it right back when Elizabeta grabbed his shoulder.
Alfred let out a groan rubbing the back of his neck. "Hey doc is it possible for him to visit Gilbert?"
oooooOOOOooooo
Doctor Katyusha guided Mattie and Liz to Gilbert's room while Al decided to wait in the car. When they got there, she left the two of them. Gilbert was sleeping peacefully, white sheets covering his body up to his neck. Mathew walked over to him, Liz staying behind. It was silent for a moment until Mathew broke down to his knees into silent sobs. "I'm sorry…..I'm sorry Gil…I'm sorry…" he kept saying in barely audible whispers.
Elizabeta walled up and stood next to Mathew, looking at her friend in silence. "He really does love you" Mattie didn't move nor did he look up to her. "I just…I thought that since he…played with my feelings…he would do the same to you…that you were just another game to him"
Mattie looked at Liz with shock, realizing Alfred was talking about her all along. "Liz…I-I…" he was interrupted by the door suddenly opening and revealing a tall figure walking in. Mathew turned his head at the door and squinted his eyes at the blurry figure in front of him.
"Eliza what are you doing here mon ami?" Mathew froze at the voice and quickly turned his head and stared at the ground.
"I could ask you the same"
"I came to check on Gilbert"
"I'm here with Mattie" she said simply. The French noticed the small teen on the ground that refused to turn around and walked up to him.
"You're Matthieu, oui?" he said kneeling down to look at the small teen. Mathew didn't move and he didn't respond. "I'm guessing that's a yes…I'm not going to hurt you. I want to apologize for all that happened" he still didn't move. He stayed perfectly still, eyes locked on the floor beneath him. "Gilbert and Antonio can be idiots from time to time, and they make stupid mistakes…yea they are never serious when it comes to relationships and they flirt with basically anyone and I'm no exception…"
"You're not helping Francis" Elizabeta coldly interrupted.
"Hush child I'm not done yet…" he returned his gaze to Mathew "And I agree, he should of have never played with you in that way, but I saw in his eyes during those three weeks that he does love you." Mattie still didn't move he remained in the same position he was before. Francis stood up and opened the door to leave stopping before he was out. "But you know…" he said without turning around "If Antonio hadn't made that dare, Gilbert probably would have never fallen for you"
Mattie turned around but he had already left. The room stayed silent for a while, neither Mathew nor Elizabeta saying a word when a shifting of blankets broke the silence causing Mathew to stand up and face the now awake and sitting albino. Mathew noticed the bandages wrapped around his chest and left shoulder, his arm was completely gone.
Gilbert was surprised to see the Canadian, his wrapped eye showing him that he didn't push him out of the way on time and the bullet did, in fact, manage to hit his eye. But what shocked him the most was that the smaller teen launched himself and captured him in a soft yet strong embrace.
"I'm sorry Gill…I'm sorry…if I'd had just listen to you this would had never happen" Gilbert didn't say anything. "Gill please I'm sorry, please just say something" Gilbert reached to his side and grabbed a notebook and a pen and began writing confusing the teen. Gilbert grinned and handed Mathew the notebook.
I glad to see you're ok birdie; you didn't end up as Fucked up as I did. I lost my leg and I'm covered in bruises and scars from head to toe from getting beaten up by that dude.
Mathew turned to look at the albino wondering why he wasn't talking. His eye when wide with tears realizing why he had wrote it down when he saw bandages wrapped around his neck.
Sup people ducking here QUACK! OK so I'm sorry if this turned out cheesy (and so short) but I swear I didn't intend to write it like that, it just…happened. So about the clues… yea, Mattie got shot in the eye and now it's gone (sshhh…don't tell him he doesn't now) and before you yell at me…I did some research and found out that the chances of surviving are 50/50. NOW FOR THE NEXT CLUE! Gill is writing on a notebook and not being his loud self *HINT* *HINT* and he has his neck wrapped up. DON'T THINK ABOUT IT TO HARD! DUCKLING OUT QUACK!
