Chapter 2: Permanent Red Mark
~~~* Previously on ER or my story or [insert something here]: *~~~
"No, not the bat! Please, not the bat! I'll never contradict you again! I-I won't even think about it! I'm sorry dad! But not the bat! Not the BAT!!!!!!!!!!!"
The music grew softer. A bat fell to the floor.
~~~* Now back to the story *~~~
Dave gasped and instantly opened his eyes. His vision was slanted; no he was on the floor. He slowly sat up and looked around. He saw a small pool of blood right under him. He felt something slide down his cheek. He looked up expecting rain but the sky was blue and the sun shining. He reached over to wipe off, maybe sweat? No, blood. He felt the whole entire side of his head wet. He's bleeding. He must have fallen asleep and fallen on the hard concrete, which now permanently showed his red mark.
He got up slowly and headed for the door to go back to the hospital. He was trying to stay awake. It was very difficult for him. He had never had a flashback that strong before. It was the sixth one this week. He somehow managed to drag himself down the stairs. Randi was off running an errand and he didn't see a doctor in sight. Everyone was off doing something and the lobby was full.
He went into the men's room, but was now practically dragging his feet along. He opened the door and was holding the wall to support him. He could feel another flashback coming soon, for his head was starting to hurt even more than it did now. He covered his ears. Not wanting to hear the little boy's voice screaming and yelling.
"Why won't you leave me alone!" Dave yelled. "Leave me alone!" Dave put his head down in his hands. He let himself slide to the floor.
"Dave?"
"No! I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE!"
"Dave?" Dave opened his eyes, his forehead in his hands. The voice wasn't his or his dad's.
"Dave?" He looked up.
"Luka?" Luka crouched down in front of him.
"You look like hell." Dave just chuckled. "You're bleeding." Luka pointed to side of his head and face.
"I guess I am."
"Want to tell me what happened?"
"Yes, Doctor." He said sarcastically.
"I'm just trying to help." Luka said with his thick accent.
"Help with what exactly?!"
"Well anything, I could help you with."
"Well I don't need you, or anyone else's help." Dave suddenly became very interested in the wall away from Luka's eyes.
"Well let me at least fix the nasty cut on your head. Run some test to make sure you're all right." Dave looked back at Luka but abruptly put down his head down to avoid eye contact.
"Then you'll leave me alone?" Dave closed his eyes. His head was tormenting him. He felt something coming. It was very, very close.
"Perhaps, if there isn't anything wrong." Dave stayed silent. "Let me help you get up." He grabbed Dave's arm to help him up. Dave quickly pulled away, and pushed the arm off.
"DON'T TOUCH ME!" Dave was looking at Luka with pure hatred. Luka was shocked at this action. He moved closer to him.
"Dave I was just trying to help." He reached his hand out. Dave moved away even faster now.
"D-DON'T T-TOUCH ME! I w-won't let you hurt me anymore!" Dave stood up, using the wall for support. Luka got up also. "I won't let y-you hurt me anymore!" Dave thrust forward and punched Luka in the jaw. He stumbled backward and stared at Dave, who had his hand on the wall and was panting. Luka saw a vein in Dave's forehead throbbing.
"AHHH!" Dave yelled in pure madness and anger. He tackled Luka. Luka fell to the floor. He couldn't believe this was happening. Dave, using the wall, made his way toward the fallen and hurt Luka.
"Dave listen to me! It's Luka!" Dave just stood over him. His expression changed. Luka had never seen this expression on Dave before. Sadness.
"Y-you can't h-hurt me anymore." Dave said very softly. Luka gasped at what he was witnessing. A single tear fell from Dave's face but he, without delay, wiped it off.
"I won't let you. You can't hurt me anymore, dad."
Chapter 3 will be here soon. Is it good so far? I hope it is, I hate wasting people's time. Anyway, this story has so much inspiration. The most I've had in awhile. Sorry this chapter was short.
