Chapter 8: Can't you see?

"Tala can I ask a favor?"

"Yes, what is it?"

"Please talk to Bryan. I think he's anorectic and maybe-"

"No way!"

"But…"

"Absolutely not!"

"But…"

"No! I don't want!"

Spencer didn't say anything but his anger came out different way. He hit Tala like he was the meanest person in the world.

"Why did you do that for?" Tala yelled, anger burning in his cold-blue eyes.

"Because your so selfish! Good captain wouldn't do that to his teammate, no matter how much he hates that teammate! I thought that you would understand how it feels to be alone! Tala, right now you're the lowest and meanest person in universe! Bryan, no matter what, really lives in that hope that you would understand him! That's all what he wants! He has forgot that he loved you he just wants to see that you really know that he exist! That's all! I bet he really is even sorry that he even looked at you! He just wants to be your friend, that's all, but you don't care a damn about it! Tala, I thought that you, you from all the people, could even little bit understand, but I see now that you're blind. I hope that this gave you something to think. Tala, I'm disappointed."

Those were Spencer's last words, before that tall blonde headed back to hallway. Tala was quiet. He had never heard Spencer to shout like that to anyone. Never.

Tala sat down to bed that was as hard as a rock. He wasn't sure could he breath. After couple of shocking minutes, he rose and walked there were Bryan were.

" Bryan?"

"I'm okay… Can I just be alone? I don't want to talk and I can bet that you don't want either."

Nice… Now Bryan put a major quilt on my shoulders. What a friend I am..? Tala thought. He sat next to Bryan.

"That's true, but… We have to talk about… You. Look at yourself. You're skinnier then ever. You need help."

"From who? I know I can't get it from here, 'cos I surely ain't gonna go to cry to anyone about that and besides my weight is okay."

"We'll see about that. Come on, get up!"

"No"

"Why?"

"'Cos I don't want."

"Don't be such a baby! I'll take you to the nurse she can look your weight."

Tala tried to force lilac haired boy up, but he failed. Then he just grabbed his fried and carried him to the hallway.

"Tala! You son of a bastard! BUT ME DOWN! Are deaf? Or insane?"

"I will be if you don't stop yelling at my ear!"

"Who says-"

"Me!"

"I ain't gonna go to the nurse!"

"You are and that's final!"

"You wish!"

"I'm wishing already!"

"Oh yeah!"

"Do you know what Bryan?" Tala said and tone of his voice chanced to worried.

"WHAT?"

"You're not heavy at all. You're like a feather. Small feather. That's why I'm taking you to the nurse and I don't care do you like it or NOT!"

Bryan shut his mouth and sulked.

"Stop that."

"What?"

"Sulking."

"No, except…"

"W-What?" Tala didn't like the sound of that except.

"You kiss me."

"WHAT! ARE YOU INSANE?"

"Probably."

Tala was quiet. Kiss him quickly or suffer forever in endless hate that Spencer and Bryan are going to use against me...? I take that kiss but it will be quick.

"Okay but we do it somewhere where no-one sees, okay?"

"Ok."

"Here! Quickly!" Tala rushed around the corner.

"Where..?"

"Closet. No one sees. Now shut up."

Tala led Bryan to the closet and managed to put the door locked.

"Okay. Quickly…"

"Tala, you sound like you have drunk ten coffees…"

"Yeah, Yeah… Shut up!"

Tala kissed him (Quickly) to the forehead.

"That's not enough."

"What? Where then?"

"Lips."

"Bryan! I mind telling you that I have a boyfriend! You're blackmailing me!"

Bryan shrug, if it was even possible in that uncomfortable closet.

I can't kiss him! Tala screamed in his head. Then he battled with the lock and ran off, right to Kai's chest.

Loud scream of a red-headed captain burst in the air.

"Tala, what's wrong? Have you see a ghost or what?" Kai said and laugh.

"No, I saw much more scarier… Help! I want… I want…"

"Yes, what?"

"Coffee!"

"Coffee? You just drank two."

"I know! But I'm nervous! I need coffee, please? Even one?"

"You can't sleep then."

"Isn't that a good thing?"

Kai stared at Tala. He was weird today.

"You're weird… Again."

"Weird? WEIRD? I'm not weird…" Tala hugged Kai so tightly as he could.

"Tala… We're in a hallway. Anyone can see!"

"And?"

"No food for a week…" Kai started to list all the punishments that might come from being emotional.

"Not bad, I really need a diet…"

"No light"

"So what?"

"Nothing to do"

"I never have anything to do in here."

"Wolfborg goes away?"

"I get him back"

"No…"

"What?"

"Coffee."

"Okay."

Tala let go.

"Let's go to somewhere where we can be together, your house maybe?"

"Okay… After training, remember what happened last time when we were late at training?"

"Yeah"

They walked away. And when they arrived to their (Demolition boys) room they found, who else then Spencer and Ian kissing and talking but mostly kissing.

"Uh… Knock, knock? I don't mean to interrupt but… Oh, so that's how you kiss even thought that Spencer is three times taller then you Ian."

"No fair! We can never be together!" Ian shouted.

"Shut up, pipsqueak…" Kai said and sat to his bed. He stared at the roof that was boring and gray.

Tala realized that Bryan was there too.

"Bryan, did you go to the nurse?"

Small pile of sheets didn't move, but it answered:

"No."

So, Bryan is at least awake…

"Bryan… You should go."

"No."

Tala didn't say anything, he just waved his head and sat next to Kai.

"What's the matter with Bryan?" Kai whispered

" Kai, I heard that." Bryan whispered. His voice sounded like it would be sick. Really sick.

"Damn Bryan!" Kai jumped off from his bed and walked to Bryan's bed that was right next to the window. Bryan didn't make any move.

"Bryan!" Kai grabbed the sheets and throw them to floor and then his face turned to gray.

"Bryan… What have you done?"

Bryan didn't say anything. He just sobbed quietly. There was bruises all over in his body and his wrist were cut with something sharp… Maybe with a knife or with piece of class.

"Who… Who did this to you? Boris?"

"No… I did it… All by myself…"

"Bryan…"

"I'm sorry…" Bryan cried and he fainted.

"Tala! Spencer! Ian! Come to help! Don't just stand there! Please! We have to get Bryan to the hospital!"

They nodded and started to carry Bryan.

They managed to sneak out from the abbey to the hospital. Bryan was still unconscious… They started to wait a doctor who would tell even something.

Ian stared at others. Spencer was talking to some male doctor, who just waved his head and left.

"Well?" Kai said. He's voice was quiet like he would be afraid that someone might hear even thought that the guestroom was almost empty. There was only one man, who seemed to be sleeping. This man had dark-blue hair that was really long. He was really tall, even taller then Spence…

Then there was a boy, who was very normal; Skinny, pale, but not as pale as Bryan usually were and he seamed to be poor… He had a shirt and trousers that were very dirty and he had sand-brown hair that was even longer then Kai's and it was messy and dirty. Ian was too interested about unknown peoples that he didn't hear a thing that Spencer was yapping. Then that sand-brown haired boy walked to some doctor and said:

"Excuse me, but is Bryan Kuntzenov here?"

"Hey! Spencer! Kai! Tala! That sand-haired boy is asking for Bryan!" Ian said. He was excited, that stranger wasn't a stranger at all, he was Bry-Bry's friend, so he had to be a good guy. At least Ian hoped so.

"And what's your name?" doctor asked.

"Juri…"

And your surname is..?"

"I don't have. I grew up in Moscow Orphanage and I don't know my surname."

Boy said quietly and he waved forward and backward with his heels.

Ian tried to see better this boys face and he noticed that he had green eyes and cheerful personality. You could just see it, he was even now smiling a kind smile.

"Hey! Wake up you!" Ian yelled to the red-head, blonde and bluenette. They didn't pay attention.

"Fine then. I go to talk to him."

And so he did. When the doctor had left, Ian came to that boy and just rabidly said:

"Hi, I'm Ian, you asked Bryan? He's my friend too, actually we're in a same team!" Ian smiled and boy laugh.

"What?"

"How old are you?" he asked. "Six?"

"No! I'm fifteen!"

"Oh… Sorry. I'm Juri, nice to meet."

Tala sat down. He couldn't breath. It was so hard to breath… Kai tried to help him but it didn't work. Tala tried to speak but his voice was so low that he couldn't speak. His voice was… It just wasn't his, it was someone else's.

"Can I bring something for you?"

"Wa-Water, maybe…"

Kai nodded and left. Tala tried not to look Spencer's face that had that What did I tell you- look again.

"I'm sorry!" Tala tried to scream but all what came out from his mouth was some weird, scared sound, that wasn't, once so proud leaders voice. Then Kai came with doctor.

"You can go to look him, but be patient, he is still tired and I hope that you don't stress him too much."

Tala nodded and walked to the room where Bryan was laying.

"Hi Bryan…" Tala said, but Bryan didn't answer.

Maybe he's sleeping…

There was this sand-haired boy too, who Ian had talked to. He whispered something to Bryan's ear:

"Bryan… Red-Mary wanted to say that she is sorry and she hopes you get better soon. We all wish it. Me, Ms. Nurse, Annie, Natasha, Victor and Vinsov and Ivan and Mrs. Bunov too. Wish you get better, I have to go, bye."

Then that sand-haired boy ran off. Demolition boys didn't say anything, they just stared at Bryan's resting body.
