Let me know what you think in comments and please follow me I update often. Also, Evie likes Jay but Jay has a thing for Carlos and Carlos likes him, so stuff is gonna get intense. Enjoy!

Jay rushed through the Tourney field carrying Evie over his shoulder, he had his mind set on one thing… saving Carlos. Jay reached the woods entrance and set Evie down. Evie frowned that Jay let her down, but she blew it off and started running

"Alright come on" Evie said running down the path in her heels. Jay followed behind her knowing if she fell he'd help her up. Evie lept over stones and twigs for a good minute run Jay just stepped on them because he had boots on. Evie fell once over a tree root and Jay caught her before she hit the ground. Evie blushed for a moment as Jay looked her in the eye.

"Careful.. No time to waste" Jay said when he quickly broke the "moment". He pulled her to her feet and continued running, not stopping to waste time. She huffed a frown and continued running, she jipped in front of Jay. When they reached the clearing of the lake Evie came to a halt causing Jay to bump into her because of his speed. She tripped forward a small step but caught herself. Jay looked over immediately to the rock earth and saw blood stains soaked into it. Jay trailed his eyes from the stains to where they came from. An almost dead Carlos. Shirtless, bleeding everywhere, and a battered face. Carlos breathed calmy, he stayed still and listened to around him. He heard people, and he knew one of them had to be Jay because of his footsteps from the path. Thud, thud, thud… that has to be Jay. Carlos wanted to smile but couldn't. Carlos just remained calm knowing Jay came here to save him.

"CARLOS!" Jay screamed at the top of his lungs. Jay ran over to Carlos ignoring Evie and knelt beside him. He grabbed Carlos's one hand and held it. He didn't know what to do. Evie came over huffing and took Carlos's other, more bloodied hand. She saw his chest rise and fall. Jay had tears in his eyes, but he made no sound.

"Jay listen to me...Carlos is alive and breathing." Evie looked Jay in the eye. "He's gonna be fine but he needs medical treatment immediately…" Evie moved Carlos's arm so that it rest on his chest. Carlos felt Jay moving and touching him, he could tell by the voice that Evie also joined Jay in finding him. Carlos didn't open his eyes or speak, he only squeezed Jay's hand.

"Carlos" Jay choked out softly. "Carlos it's Jay" Jay felt Carlos squeeze his hand hard. Jay looked up at Evie who smiled.

"That's his way of knowing he's safe...squeeze his hand back…" Jay did and Carlos seemed to give a smile but it faded away. Evie stood up.

"Should we take him to the infirmary?" Jay asked looking up at Evie who had her back to them looking around.

"Yes as quickly as we can...can you carry him?" Evie asked turning around, but Jay already picked up the injured boy. Jay held him under his knees and neck. Evie hated that she thought like she did but she thought: Sure pick Carlos up like that…. Jay had him secure in his arms he held Carlos's face next to his and shed a tear. Evie saw Jay upset and stood by his side giving him a sincere "don't worry" look. She touched Jay's back and edged him to move, they started to walk off through the woods.

Jay looked at Carlos and his beaten face, it pained him to see Carlos in such a bad condition. Jay was gonna kill whoever did this to him. Once they walked onto the Tourney field Evie had an idea. Evie grabbed Jay's shoulder and made them both stop.

"Hey Jay keep Carlos still for a sec… I'm going to try something" She walked around him and took one of Carlos's hands. She leaned to his ear.

"Carlos hun, if you can hear me squeeze my hand" Evie and Jay waited 3 seconds… Evie felt a tight grasp on her hand. She smiled and looked up at Jay.

"Jay… this means we can get some info from him if he remembers anything!" She jumped in joy for a second.

"Okay, okay...I'll start off easy...you okay holding him or.."

"I'm good, ask him stuff" Jay wanted it.

"Okay, Carlos...squeeze my hand if you know who I am" 3 seconds passed….he gripped her hand. She nodded.

"You know who is holding you...Jay right?" 3 seconds passed, he gripped her hand. She smiled.

"Carlos, do you know who did this to you?"

He squeezed her hand tighter than ever and it hurt his arm muscles…. Jay could see them throbbing. Evie looked at Jay.

"Chad..." Jay said. "It's Chad...it has to be" Jay blurted out. With that Carlos immediately gripped Evie's hand to the point where it dug into her skin.

"Okay okay Carlos calm down… we got what we needed to hear… we are taking you to the infirmary." Evie let his hand go, she turned and started sprinting to the infirmary. Jay followed holding Carlos tight. Some Auradon kids watched them as they rushed through the crowded hallway. Evie ran ahead and yelled at people to move then shoved them away if they didn't. The VKs got some glances from the kids but most couldn't see Carlos bleeding onto Jay. They made it to the end of the hallway and the infirmary doors.

Evie burst open the door. It startled Fairy Godmother who turned around quickly.

"Child what hap-" Fairy Godmother said as Jay entered with Carlos.

"We found him beaten by the lake" Evie said, she looked at Jay with a face saying "do not say anything" Fairy Godmother saw Carlos in Jay's arms and called for a nurse. This big beefy woman walked out of heavy doors and up to Carlos. She took Carlos from Jay's arms and took Carlos to a closed off room behind the same doors she came from. Fairy Godmother followed after the nurse.

"Stay here kids… I'll be back out soon," Jay and Evie both were worried. Jay kept clenching his fist and silent crying. Evie knew Jay would explode on Chad when he got his hands on him.

"Jay, hey look here" Evie said standing in front of him. Jay looked up at her. She placed her hands onto his shoulders. "Okay now listen to me Jay because I know there is blood boiling inside you." She removed her hands from his shoulders, she moved them to his hands making his fists open.

"Gee how did ya know my blood was boiling?" Jay stated sarcastically.

"Fairly obvious...and I feel the same way" she looked at him in the eye. Tears were rolling down his cheeks from the silent cry. "Carlos stayed breathing, he could hear us, responding to us by squeezing his hand… Jay those are all good signs."

Jay dropped her hands and took a seat in the chair there. "But… Chad…."

Evie took the seat next to him. "I know Jay, we will get him back eventually." She rested her head on Jay's shoulder.

After about a half hour, Fairy Godmother came out of the room. She walked over to them. Evie grabbed Jay's shoulder keeping him sitting. Fairy Godmother started speaking.

"I know we are all sorry this happened, it shouldn't ever happen to anyone..." She started. Jay interrupted.

"I'm sorry to interrupt but cut the sweet talk... is Carlos gonna be okay?" Jay asked completely ignoring what she just said. HE forced Evie's hand off his shoulder and stood up. Evie frowned.

"Jay I can assure you he will be fine. From what it looks it seems he has bruises and cuts everywhere on his upper body… we haven't found any broken bones in his body from the X-rays besides his nose, and thank god nothing else is broken. His face worst of all, but only a black, swollen, eye, gash by his mouth and scrapes. In a few days his face should be healed enough to go back to his dorm, then we will address the issues further, if he can walk, talk, and see properly enough then he can go back to his life. Until then he stays in the infirmary, no visitations for 2 days." She finished talking. The whole time they listened close and nodded their heads, up until Jay heard "No visitations for 2 days" He clenched his fists.

"Wha-What do you mean no v-visitations for 2 d-days?" He started inching closer to Fairy Godmother.

"Jay, I know it will be hard but he can't have visitors for 2 days. It's a risk for Auradon's rules." She started walking away not waiting for what Jay could have done if he wanted… which he wasn't gonna do. "Now you two can go or stay but for the next hour I'll be busy with Carlos's wounds, I'd suggest going home and try to calm down." She walked through the door out of sight. Jay stood in shock… not seeing Carlos for 2 days would gonna kill him.

"Jay…" Evie stood up "I think it's best that we go home and try to rest our minds for the night… we also need to clean your jacket and shirt up… there's blood all over it." Evie grabbed his hand and pulled Jay out of the infirmary. She had to legit pull him away the whole time. They passed the front lawn a few Auradon kids looked at them.

"Hey Jay, who'd you kill this time? Hehe" One kid said while a few others laughed.

"For your informa-" Jay started walking towards the kid and pulling Evie with him. Evie grabbed his arm harder and pulled him back away.

"Jay no, keep walking don't let it get to you" She dragged him like a little kid. After a while Jay just walked normally with his head down. They went to Evie and Mal's dorm.

"Carlos is at the infirmary...no visitations for 2 days.." Evie said as she opened the door and walked in on Mal reading spells on her bed in her normal attire.

"Is he okay? Is he gonna die?" Mal looked at the bloodied clothes of Jay and Evie's blood stained hands from holding Carlos's.

Jay closed the door and stood there. "He'll be fine, in three days we can see him" Jay almost didn't want to speak… only bludgeon Chad's face in. "Now are we gonna discuss what to do about Chad?" Jay looked at Mal. Evie already walked in the bathroom to wash blood off her hands.

"Well while you still have bloody clothes on why don't you do go take care of Chad"

Evie came back out drying her hands. "No no no. We can't just let Chad be beaten… I wish we could but do you know what would happen if we did?" Mal and Jay looked at each other then back at Evie. She sighed. "WE WOULD BE SENT BACK TO THE ISLE!" Jay frowned.

"Maybe it's where we belong…" Mal said.

Evie looked at them in shock. "Are you kidding me? Guys we have so much more here." Evie put her hands on her hips.

"Carlos wouldn't want us to to go back either.." Jay added in.

"The best thing to do is wait until Carlos has a say in this… we can't go beating up Chad right away." Evie said. "I want to kill him just like you but we can't"

Jay nodded. "She's right" He looked at Mal.

"I could in the meantime give him a spell to hurt him...ya know something simple that pains his forever" Mal said smiling.

"Mal no spells remember? They got banned and it would get us caught and sent back to the isle… you're lucky the girls haven't ratted on you for their hair." Evie said looking at her. Jay started rubbing his fingers together, feeling the blood left on him. He looked at his clothes. They were already deep red and dirty, but Jay could see the spots of blood all over him from carrying Carlos.

"I know E but just one spell or magic thing? Please…" Mal looked at Evie.

"And what would you be thinking" Evie said.

"Something simple... OH I know" She got off the bed and grabbed a jar of gummy bears.

"Gummy bears Mal? What you gonna give Chad a toothache?" Jay said crossing his arms.

"No Jay they aren't just gummy bears… they have a truth spell on them. So once I bribe these over to Chad, we'll rat on him and say that Chad beat up Carlos and then when he gets questioned he has to tell the truth" Mal smiled holding the jar up. "One thing candy is great for"

Evie smiled. "Alright fine… only because it's not hurting him in a way that we would get in trouble, so we will tell Fairy Godmother and she will talk to Chad. The punishment is up to her then I guess"

Jay looked at them. "What if the punishment isn't enough… Auradon is different, it's not like on the isle"

"Jay I know we all want to kill Chad, but we should at least wait for Carlos's say…" Evie said sitting on her bed.

"I know…" Jay looked down. "When are we gonna tell about Chad?"

"Well I have to visit Ben soon, might as well go to Chad's dorm and give him the gummy." Mal said grabbing her coat and sticking one red gummy in her pocket. "I can tell Ben about Carlos getting hurt and us thinking its Chad…" She walked up to Jay wanting him to move.

"How do we know Chad will eat the gummy?" Jay asked.

"I know, gimme your wallet, well someone's wallet you have on you" Mal said.

"Alright…" Jay pulled a wallet from his pant loop. Mal took it and took out a twenty then gave it back to Jay who hid it again. She threw the gummy on the ground and stepped on it so it had a shoe imprint on it. She picked it up.

"There, Chad won't resist a twenty offered to him for eating this floor gummy" Mal pushed Jay aside and walked out the door. "Bai guys" She said as she walked away.

Evie shook her head and looked at Jay. "Well that's sure Mal…."

"Yeah, hey I'm gonna go get changed and probably drop off spare clothes for Carlos later. It's what like 8 now?" Jay asked.

"Yeah..8:23 actually… Jay promise me one thing…." Evie said.

"What?"

"Don't get angered by Chad today… just go home drop off clothes and get to bed, we have school tomorrow, and Thursday… Friday night we can go see Carlos." Evie got up and walked over to him. She gave him a hug getting some blood on her shirt. Jay avoided touching her back to keep blood off it.

"I won't, I'll meet you and Mal tomorrow at school. Night Evie." He broke the hug and walked out the door. He kept his head down and hands in his pockets avoiding looks from others. He could only think about Carlos.

Okay guys so I really wanted to continue this but i'm saving my idea for the 3rd chapter, i'm tired and I probably need sleep since it's 3am as I finish. Until then, happy sleep.
