Chapter # 11: Pain
"Shu-chan!" Someone's raspy voice from outside called to me. I didn't move. I was to horrified to move.
"Shu-chan!" It called again. I got up slowly and walked over to my window, it had been left open a little bit. I looked outside into the hail storm.
"TOHMA!" I ran from my window and threw on my shoes, not bothering to tie my un-done laces. I ran over to the bleeding figure,
"Oh my God! Tohma! What are you doing out here!"
He was shaking from blood loss. I placed one of his arms around the back of my neck and helped him to walk into the house and up to my room. I placed him on the bed and ran to the bathroom to run the hot water. He was cold and wet as well as bleeding. It wasn't just hailing, it was also raining out there. I came back to him and stripped him down to nothing more than his boxers. I placed his arm around the back of my neck again and helped him into the bathroom, sitting him in the tub. He let out a pained scream and I knew it was because of his knees. The bandages on his knees were cut in many places. Not cut off, just cut through. His ankles were bleeding as well.
"Tell me what happened," I said as I gently peeled off the bandages from his knees in the water and put them in the trash can next to me.
He didn't answer.
"Tell me," I hissed, ripping off part of the bandage really fast. He felt it and screamed.
"I'll do it again if you don't tell me," I threatened.
He sighed and tears rolled down his cheeks and into the tub water.
"I…I did this." He said, his gaze drifting to his ankles, then up to his knees.
Tears formed in my eyes.
'No…He can't mean…He didn't…But he gave me his blade…How…?' My thoughts ran free. I gently removed the rest of the bandages and helped him out of the tub, sitting him on the carpet. I used the sterilizer on him, then wrapped his injuries. I put his arm around the back of my neck and helped him to walk into the guestroom. I lied him down.
"You're sleeping in here tonight after that stunt."
"But…Shu-chan…I…!"
"You're sleeping here and that's final! Suguru and Hiro are sleeping over tonight again…They're using the spare bed in my room…" I walked out of the room rather angrily, and obviously in tears by the way my shoulders shook. I went back downstairs and sat on the couch.
"Good news for Tokyo, the tornado warning is officially over and they're left with nothing more then a small thunderstorm for tonight."
'Good thing the tornado things done…It never hit, I'm glad about that.'
I lied myself down on the couch, still crying.
'How had Tohma managed to cut himself again? What the hell did he use?'
