Worn Out chapter 15

Wanda sat next to her brother who was laying on the floor. He had just suddenly felt weak and have to be gently placed down. Lance and Fred were there too and Todd went off to find someone. Pietro slowly sat up. Wanda reached for him.

"Should you be getting up?" Pietro looked at her exhaustedly. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a knife. "What are you gunna do with that..." Pietro put it to his wrists. "Stop him!" Wanda and Lance reached for him at the same time but were both too late; he had cut his wrists open and was now bleeding all over. Pietro fell back into a laying position. Lance and Fred frantically searched for help while Wanda tried to help Pietro. She covered the wounds with her hands and put as much pressure as she could on htem. Pietro looked up and Wanda. His hair became dyed with blood.

"It hurts...It hurts..."

"Hold on, Pietro, ok? Hold on!" blood stained her hands.

Wanda shot up in her bed. It was a dream of what happened right before her eyes. She looked over to the clock in her new room at the institure. 2:00 A.M. It was, of course, dark out at this time and she didn't expect anyone to know she was up but the Professor did.

'Are you alright?' she heard in her head.

'Yeah...just a nightmare of what happened.'

'Do you need to talk?'

'Did he know what he was doing? Why did he do it?'

'That only he could answer.'

'When I saw my brother almost die...I realized how stupid I had been when I thought of killing him...my brother...I felt his blood, his life, slipping through my fingers. I don't really feel like talking about it.'

'Alright, later then. Get some rest.'

'Yeah.'

-flashback-

Paramedics rushed down the halls of the hospital with a teen laying unconscious on a stretcher. They yelled out information as they rushed into the emergency room. They had been called to a street by a group of people saying there was a boy laying on the sidewalk. He didn't look good and was barely breathing which had made it hard to tell if he was even still alive. Pietro was unconscious but when he woke up later, he knew that there had been someone in the crowd that knew him. Everything was wrong to him. He shouldn't be alive and didn't want to be. Pietro thought of it as a punishment, that he was not dead when he wanted to be.

-end flashback-

Pietro presently sat in his room, starring at the wall. He was released from the infirmary that current morning. They thought he was safe enough to be around the others and now he was eating well, better than he had in a ling time because food was available. His fever was gone and the only signs that there had once been an infection were the scabs on his arms where the cuts were which he no longer picked at. Beast was almost completely sure that they would scar.

Beast and the Professor now walked toward Pietro's rooms. Benji was there with Pietro. He was packing yet Pietro wasn't sure why. He knew Benji was getting out but it wasn't for another few days. After Benji and the rest of the group left and he noticed how bad it was without the medicine he realized being out with it on would be ok until he was completely under control. Pietro didn't know the while story but the point was; he was getting out.

There was a knock on the door then the two older mutants stepped in. Benji knew this was private so he left without a word. Pietro looked at them.

"What?"

"How are you doing?" the Professor asked. Pietro shrugged.

"Benji's gettin' out."

"That's good news, isn't it?"

"Yeah...but..."

"But?"

"I want out too."

"Are you jealous?"

"A little. When can I get out?"

"When we see your safe to be around others and out of this hospital."

"How do I prove to you that I am?"

"By talking."

"What am I supposed to say?"

"Anything that's on your mind."

"I regret things I did and feel guilty."

"We all have that."

"But it really hurt them."

"Why did you do it?"

"I was scarred of someone."

"Do these people know why you did what you did?"

"I don't think so..."

"Do you want to tell them?"

"Yes."

"Who is it?"

"You know who it is."

"The Brotherhood?"

"Yes, the Brotherhood." his voice was cracked.

"Who do you fear?" Pietro shook his head.

"He's gunna get me one day."

"Who?"

"My father."
