Broke But Not Broken Chapter 8
Mituna panics, throwing his board to the ground in a hurry and hopping on. He chances a quick glance behind him, Jason right on his heels. He kicks off, trying to outboard his harasser.
"Get back here or I'll make it even worse you little brat" jason calls out, snarling at the captor. The one time he stood up for himself and now he was running away. He felt like a coward.
Mituna quickly gains speed, moving away from the boy as quick as he could. He ignores the threats, seeing a way out and heading off school grounds, andwhere to get away from this guy.
Jason stops short, seeing a van speeding across the street. He utters out a simple "shit" as mituna collides with its path, the vehicle promptly ramming into his side and throwing him a good few yards before running over the board and speeding on.
A few cries from some witnesses to the accident could be heard, a few teachers quickly moving to the side of the boy. The female superintendant kneels at his side, checking for a pulse and sighing a moment later in relief.
Mituna's eyes crack open slightly, the light almost blinding. He closes his eyes, faintly hearing the voice of an elder. The voice of his supervisor could be heard along with a few males. He slowly tears his eyes open, seeing everyone looking at him. He could make out a few paramedics standing by. He couldnt quite make out their words with them all talking at once.
Suddenly, he could feel his head throbbing. He winces in pain, looking down at himself. He felt as though he would be sick.
"Lay still, we're here to help. You're going to be alright" one guy says, trying to gain his attention.
"What.., what happened?" He half whispers half croaks out
"You had an accident, you're going to be just fine kid"
Another paramedic asks the supervisor questions about him. His name, age, emergency contact information.
Everything fades from Mituna's vision, the last thing he sees being paramedics carrying him into the back of an ambulance.

Sollux sighs boredly, swiveling in the office chair and looking around. Psionic was busy with a patient, leaving him bored and alone in his small office space.
Psiionic emerges from the room, returning to his desk with a heavy sigh, quickly taking out the paperwork for his next patient.
Suddenly, a nurse enters the room and spots the two, quickly running towards them. "Doctor Captor, you have a personal call on line one" she says quickly.
Psiionic sends her a look, asking who was calling.
"Its the school, sir" she answers simply
"The school?" He asks to clarify, sighing softly and asking himself almost silently, "what has he done now?"
"Can you tell them to call back later? I have a patient with a foreign object protruding from his abdomen" he dismisses.
The nurse nods hesitantly, leaving the room.
"What do you think happened this time?" Sollux asks
He receives only a shrug in response before the nurse returns.
"Sir, they said it's urgent that they speak with you now... Something about an accident" she says firmly.
"Did they specify what type of accident?" He asks, receiving a shake of the head in response. "I figured... I'll see what the damage is this time" he says with a sigh. He hesitantly sets the chart down, quickly following the nurse. Sollux follows behind after a moment, standing near his father as he answers the phone.
"Hello?" He asks
"Hello, Mr Captor... We are calling to inform you that your son Mituna was in an accident a short while ago today. We are currently having hi, transported to the hospital. He received a few... Injuries while using his skateboard after classes let out." The voice spoke softly yet firmly.
"He fell off his board?" Psiionic asks to clarify, sollux looking up concerned.
"Um... I'm sorry Mr Captor, but it was actually a hit and run. The police are currently running the license plate to try and get an identification of those responsible but it could take time."
Psiionic felt his stomach drop at the mention of a car accident.
"Dad?" Sollux asks, concerned. He notices the concerned frown on his father's face. "What happened? Is he okay?"
"Ma'am, is... How bad?" He asks, ignoring Sollux for the moment.
"He... He regained consciousness shortly after he was... Hit... But he lost consciousness shortly after. He is currently at the hospital a little ways away, in APA Medical center."
Psiionic sighs, feeling a heavy lump in his throat. "Sol... We're... We need to go." He says, hanging up the phone
"Is he hurt? What happened?" Sollux asks frantically.
"Sollux... Your brother..." He swallows thickly. "Tuna was in an accident. It was a hit and run" he finishes softly.
