HELLO WORLD AND ALL WHO HAVE INTERNET ACSESS!!
Katie's being mean again... :'-( Will my torture ever cease?
Don't own a thing in my story.
It happened very quickly then.
S.K had dove off the tower shoving The Joker harshly out of his way, while we watched in horror.
April fell swiftly down S.K gaining speed behind her. S.K's posture was as smooth as a bullet. He reached a pale hand and caught her wrist before pulling her in to hold her. They neared the ground so, to brake his fall, he did a quick flip to and landed wrongly on his back.
I looked behind me and The Joker was gone. Everyone followed my vision, each one blaming the other for not keeping an eye on him. I heard another crack from below and looked over the edge to see S.K staggering to get up, April in his arms.
"We have to get her some help," He stated simply, his hand on her stomach. I nodded and grabbed ahold of her shoulder, S.K's icy grip stopped me.
"I've got her," He told me and stood up. I nodded and let him take her all the way to the hospital wondering idly about his newfound protection over my aubergine haired friend.
Tick.
Tick.
Tick.
"That clock is really fucking annoying!" S.K said angerly. I had to agree. That's all we've been hearing for the past three hours. We had arrived at the hospital as quickly as we could and they rushed April into the ER as fast as they could. The team and I have been waiting scared and quiet up until now.
"This is my fault..." I spoke quietly to myself. Grief washing over me. I've managed to kill my two best friends in the whole world from one stupid idiotic mistake after another. I am a shame to the Grayson/And'r name. Silent tears slid down my cheeks.
"Oh, shut up!" S.K looked at me angerly, " None of this was your fault okay miss dramatic! GOD! Your mind can be so annoying sometimes! You didn't do anything wrong! And I swear Elana if you don't shut up right now I'm going to--"
"Um, excuse me sir," An aged nurse looked up at him with concerned. S.K's eyes blazed and his jaw locked but he managed to control himself.
"Yes, ma'am? Is there anything I can help you with?" He smiled, flashing his teeth.
"Do you need medical assistance...you're bleeding on..the um...floor." Everyone looked down, and sure enough there was a small puddle of blood.
"Oh...Would you look at that? I am! Hang on just a second ma'am." He twisted his arm in an odd way, along with many of his other body parts, for a few seconds and when he was finsihed, he looked perfectly normal...Well for S.K anyway. "There you go ma'am. I'm sorry for the trouble I caused." The nurse blessed herself quickly and fled from the room as fast as she could. S.K shrugged. "I get that a lot..."
"Mar'i...Um, are you okay?" I turned my head to look at Tim.
"Yeah, I think...Just worried ya know?" I gave a sad smile. He bent down so he was eye level with me.
"It's going to be alright. April will get through this." He seemed so sure of his words. I smiled at him, I think it was the first genuine smile I've ever given him.
"S.K where'd you get the V8?" Miki asked from across the room. Had S.K left? I didn't noticed. I turned my head away from Tim's eyes and looked at S.K....He had V8 in a cup with a blue bendy straw. Hm, I didn't know S.K drank--
No, he didn't...He wouldn't have...
S.K flashed me a quick smile in that 'cat got the cream' sort of way and I knew what was going on.
That drink was very far from V8....It was blood. I gaged slightly.
"Um...yeah, I got it from that nurse lady from a couple of minutes ago. Wanna sip?" He lied quickly.
"NO!" I screamed. Miki looked at me wide-eyed.
"Why not?" She asked in a small voice.
"Um...Because of germs...Yeah! S.K's really sick!" I lied lamely.
"Whatever..." Miki said and rolled her eyes.
I glared at him, sending over my negitive thoughts.
S.K! PLEASE tell me you didn't drink that nice Nurse's blood!
Wow...Are we like mind talking?! AWESOME! And no...I didn't...There was a blood bank and I was parched.
Are we? I didn't know you could do this...And EW! That's sick! Why would you offer that to Miki?!
I walked over to a chair and sat down staring into space, to make our conversation not obvious. S.K looked down at his "V8".
I guess we are. And I can do this because I'm amazing! I didn't think Miki would actually want some anyway. So, what's Mr. Tall, Dark, and Brooding's problem with me?
Huh?
Timmy-boy. What's his deal? He keeps thinking such negitive thoughts.
I looked up to see him lift his chin in Tim's direction slightly. Tim was facing the opposite way, his back to me.
I don't know honestly, why? What has he been thinking?
"You're very lucky, Marie. Not a moment too late, April is in stable condition right now. But, as a doctor I have to ask what happened?" Doctor Wizzler asked me curiously. I stammered, trying to find a likely story. Lying wasn't my forte.
"Well...You see Doctor...Wait, what's your name again?" S.K interjected quickly, giving me a frown. He must've noticed how I couldn't fit a story together quickly.
"I'm Doctor Thomas Wizzler." He stated. S.K's eyes lit up like a Christmas tree.
" As in T. Wizzler?" The doctor nodded confused. S.K bursted out laughing.
"T. WIZZLER! LIKE TWIZZLER!" S.K chortled holding on to my shoulder for support.
"I suppose so," Doctor Wizzler rolled his eyes. "So are you going to tell me what happened?"
"Yeah, ya see...We were in a not so good part of town right? And dear sweet April took a wrong turn down an alley away from the rest of us. She told us she thought it would be a quicker way to her house. But, as she walked by herself she was jumped by a large group of men who were looking for trouble. Meanwhile, Miki over there noticed she still had one of April's bags from shopping earlier that day so we all ran down the alley and found her cornered by the men. They knew they were outnumbered when they saw us so the quickly stabbed her and ran away," S.K lied smoothly. If I hadn't known any better I would have believed him myself.
"I see. Well she'll be fine, you can go in and see her if you'd like," he said and left us quickly. He was probably afraid of the way S.K acted. Hell, sometimes I was.
"Alright, we're heading in. You coming Marie?" Wally asked. I shook my head.
"I need a minute to myself. Go on in though," I told them and sat down on one of the many blue plastic chairs. They all nodded and went in. As soon as the double doors closed I put my head in my hands and cried.
"You alright?" I turned around S.K popped out from next to the vending machine.
"No," I told him honestly. I couldn't bear it anymore. First an successful attack on Brendon, now his younger sister. And it's all my fault, I keep putting them in harms way and stand there and watch like a deer caught in headlights. How was I supposed to be a hero when no matter what I'd somebody gets hurt?
S.K sat down next to me and said nothing, even though he could probably hear every thought running through my head. His icy hand was comforting as he touched my shoulder empathetically. After a long silence (apart from my sobs) he spoke softly for the first time to me.
"Everything will be fine," he soothed, I cried harder at his lie. "Things always will get worse before they get better. You can't let your...guilt for what's going on like, strangle you by the neck. You just gotta roll with the punches ya know?" I looked up at him questionably.
"When did you become Mr. Sensitive?" I asked through my tears. He acted mock-hurt and put a hand dramatically to his chest.
"I have feelings! How dare you say I can't be sensitive!" He faux-scolded at me, I guess he was trying to cheer me up, which it did because I let out a small giggle.
"Right...I'm sure..." I told him. He gave me a genuine smile that showed all his pearly whites, fangs inclueded.
"I do! You just never notice how sweet and loving I can be!" I smiled back, finally done crying.
"S.K...I just...Thank you," I said softly and flung my arms around him in a hug. He stiffened.
"Uh....Awkward..." He mumbled. I looked up he tilted his head towards the double doors. Tim stood there frozen in place, eyes wide in shock. I distangled myself from him quickly and S.K chuckled under his breath.
"So...I was just coming to get some Snickers...But...yeah...I think I'll go now..." Tim mumbled, embarrassed. S.K laughed.
"Yeah, that'd be best, even though hugging is a totally acceptable way to show a friend appreciation for doing something nice. Do you want to stay and see me kiss her on the cheek as a 'you're welcome'?" S.K drapped an arm casually over my shoulder and Tim looked enraged.
"No. I'm fine thank you." Tim replied curtly.
"You sure? I could plant a big ol' wet one right on her cute little mouth." He chortled. Tim looked embarrassed for a moment and then enraged as he grabbed his coat and left without even saying goodbye to me. Rude much?
I arrived home after visiting April around ten o'clock. I opened the door to see my Dad and Tim in conversation, Titan sitting at my Dad's feet. At the sound of my entrance my Dad smiled and gave a little wave and Tim glared. I waved to my Dad and pretended I didn't noticed Tim's piercing gaze as I walked up the stairs.
I closed the door in my room and locked it. I ran to my bed and grabbed the Diary I had hidden there. I opened it up to a new page and began writing down my thoughts:
Dear Diary,
I feel terrible! April got stabbed and it's all my fault! :'-( the Joker's being worse than ever, ever since S.K went AWOL. I dunno what I'm going to do! But she's in stable condition so she'll be okay, I think. When I went to visit her she was sleeping so I decided not to bother her. Hopefully, we can restore what's left of our friendship, but I don't know if she should be friends with someone like me anyway...In other news, S.K is turning out to be a good friend. He's a little bit of a douchebag sometimes, but I'm sure he'll get better. Well, peace out.
