To Fall chapter 4
6/21/01
My stomach was still growling and I was still sitting there in the med bay
while Tonya yapped at me and stitched my hand up.
"Why didn't you come last night, I could have done this then. It probably
is going to get infected with stars knows what now. Nosedive that was stupid
of you not to come in last night." I sighed, again with the stupid thing.
"Sorry sheesh didn't think a little scratch would do so much damage, Im here
now. Aren't ya happy about that?" I asked holding my normal teenager routine.
It usually tired them out when arguing with me.
She sighed and stepped back, sliding the plastic gloves off of her hands, "Well
If anything happens to it like more bleeding or it pusses or something you get
your arse back here you got it?"
I nodded and jumped off the table. "Yeah whatever Ton. see ya later k bye."
I rushed out of there just as I heard her yell to be careful with it.
I looked down at the now bandaged limb, careful, feh. Like grin says pain
is an illusion, though he usually says something like: really really hurting
though.
I shrugged, and walked into the kitchen, Wildwing and Duke were sitting there
at the table. I sighed inwardly, Great the mother hens. Wildwings eyes went
directly to me, I turned away from his stare. I hope he doesn't talk about last
night.
"So baby bro, you ok?" Shit.
I grabbed a box of cereal out of the cupboard and acted casual about it, like it
didn't faze me much. "Yeah Im fine just a bad dream." Inside my head was
screaming, bad dream bad dream my ass it was your life, your life is a fucking
bad dream I cringed and went to grab the milk and a bowl and spoon.
I got my breakfast on the table and started making it when Duke spoke up.
"so kid what ya do to your hand?" shit again.
This also caught Wildwings attention, I couldn't read his face I didn't know if he
was happy Id actually listened to him and went to see Tonya about it or mad because
now my hand was bandaged up.
"So you gonna tell us or sit there?"
"I umm... hurt it last night. I went to see Tonya this morning and she gave me some
stitches no biggie." I swear Wildwings eyes bugged, It would have been funny If he wasn't
staring back at me. I guess he didn't want to yell at me, because he took a deep breath
and I didn't wait for it. I pulled my 'POPs' (c) in front of me and ducked my head low and
pretended to read the back of the box.
"How many stitches?" Wildwings voice was soft like he had counted to ten, and since I was
down to the end of the box he probably counted 6 times.
"twelve," another long silence. I swear these are the most nerve wracking. I wanted to snicker,
to yell, to do something that would cause the silence to end. It made me start thinking that
maybe he knew that It wasn't just an accident with the tread mill, that he knew I smashed
my fist into the wall.
I shook that thought off and took another bite. I guess Duke saved the day by starting a
conversation about the Arrowing and fixing something on it.
I stood up to clear off my breakfast, Wildwing stood up also I tried to ignore him, but when he
pulled some thing out of his pockets I risked a glance. He pulled about three hundred dollars
out I think my eyes bugged. I tried to ignore him again putting my cereal away. He stepped in front
of me.
"Here, go get some school supplies, and Nosedive I mean it. I know you to well, Please spend
it on school supplies." He gave me the big brother sad look, "Promise."
I looked from him to the money and to him again. "Sure big bro!" I grabbed the wad and rushed
out the door. Hearing him yell out behind me about SCHOOL SUPPLIES! I smiled.
The mall wasn't as packed on a Tuesday, and for once I actually listened to my brother. I got three
pairs of jeans some new socks, shorts, a Dragonball Z shirt (A/N: *smiles*) in Suncoast, I got
some folders, they had some cool Anime ones. I left and went to the stationary store getting
some pens and pencils... I couldn't believe I was actually doing this voluntarily. I grabbed a
backpack and had 67 dollars to spare, I grinned and headed towards the comic central.
