Chapter 2; Worry
Rook's PoV
I am worried about Ben... After the whole break up incident, he was not returning my calls. I did not check on him feeling Ben needs space...
I did not mean to break up with my beloved. I was trying to look more dominant, more in control of the situation. But I was wrong on doing that. Without Ben with my side I feel a part of me was gone. I felt divided, alone in my thoughts. I wish to go see my beloved but I am scared of the outcome if I had visited the apartment. Ben could handle this, I know he can. He is the hero! My hero... I would go say sorry after Ben and I have cooled down. I would fix this problem.
—-—-—
Gwen and I were at Mr. Smoothies talking about the break up. It was only 2 days until the incident and I have decided to contact Gwen since she was visiting for the week.
"So you're saying you didn't mean any of that?" Gwen questioned while taking another sip of her smoothy.
"Yes, I wish I could go to him and say sorry. But it would be safe to give him some space..." I leaned in the table, giving a cat like sigh.
"It would be best for Ben if he was alone at this time," She said drinking the last drop of her smoothy, "just wait and see, Ben'll come through." Gwen said reassuringly.
"I hope so..." I looked at her with worried eyes. 'I hope' I said to myself.
—-—-—
It has been 5 days before the 'break up'. I have not yet checked Ben out if he is ok. I am getting worried, real worried. I have decided to visit him today.
"Ben?" I said while knocking at the door, "Are you alright?".
The door was not locked so I let myself in. It was absolute terror inside! Every nook and cranny of the apartment are all smashed to bits and pieces. Even the floor boards and tiles are cracked and loose! The walls wallpaper are torn and ripped, scratch marks everywhere. Small pieces of debris are scattered around! And then I saw it. There was blood. A big stain all over the floor. I panicked and looked for my beloved.
"BEN!" I shouted while dashing through rooms. I grabbed my Proto-tool, it was on the floor in the pile of rubble. I checked all over the place, well not exactly... 'THE BEDROOM' I said to myself.
I opened the door slowly to the masters bedroom. And speedily turned my Proto-tool to the person on the room. "FREEZE" I said angrily. But when my eyes inspected the room I was utterly dumbfounded. The bed was dyed in bloody rose. And there was a very pale white boy sitting at the edge of the bed. That person was Ben. Ben was there staring into empty space, wandering in his own sad world. He had a major cut in the backside of his right hand and he had a... He is holding the shard a bit tight! He is still bleeding, but slowly. I rushed to his side, "BEN! What has happened?" and without expecting a response I quickly carried Ben outside.
I looked at Ben while rushing to the Proto-TRUK. He looked paler than a ghost. His hair has been pulled out from his scalp. His eyes... His once emerald green eyes has been replaced by deep gray. It is like his life was sucked out dry! 'Ben... What happened to you?' I asked myself.
I finally reached the Proto-TRUK and drove to the hospital as swiftly as I can. Adrenaline was kicking in. I was panicking, my body was shaking. My eyes were twitching and I kept on ogling Ben. If something were to happen to Ben and I was not there to help and protect him... And if I was the reason... I cannot live with that guilt. I cannot live without Ben...
When we reached the hospital, I did not care of parking. I quickly stopped the car in a complete halt. As I entered the hospital I shouted for help, "SOMEBODY PLEASE SAVE HIM!" I cried while carrying my beloved bridal style. Immediately the nurses and doctors rushed to Ben and tended to him. Ben was put on a stretcher.
A doctor with a clipboard came to me and asked what had happened to Ben. I told her that I found Ben sitting upright staring at the wall. "And I saw cuts around his hands," I explained worriedly, "is he going to be okay?"
While scribbling down her clipboard the doctor sighed and turned her back on me, "We'll do our very best." and she walked away, vanishing in the bustling hallway.
My eyes were beginning to water. My mind whirling in a thousand thoughts. 'Is this my fault? Is this my fault?' I kept asking. And with that I crumbled in the disinfected floor. My hands and knees against the floor. I kept my eyes shut but tears are still flowing down. 'Is this my fault?' I asked again.
I caught the attention of some nurses and asked me if I was ok. I did not respond and kept weeping. But they still assisted me on standing up. Then the put me to sit unto the nearby seats. They offered me a box of tissues which I kindly accepted. I wiped my eyes with the tissues. I put the tissue box to my side and waited. I do not know what I am waiting for but I waited.
I sat there twiddling my thumbs. Not sure what to do. But I have to keep calm. For Ben.
I called Ben's parents and told them what happened. "Alright," Sandra distressed of the situation, "We'll be right there!" And in that she hung up.
Right after I pocketed my phone, a doctor came to me. "Are you Mr. Blonko?" The doctor asked sternly.
I turned around to face her, "Y-yes, I am." I quickly said crossing my arms.
"Well I have bad news and good news for you. The good news is that Ben was not seriously injured, just a series of cuts and bruises. He bled too much but we quickly gave him blood. The bad news is that he had a serious infection on both of his hands, we treated it immediately... But we think it already affected his system. As of now he's resting. Would you want to visit?" The doctor said smiling a little.
"I will, thank you."
