3 2: Stitches

He woke up in a haze, barely realizing his surroundings. "Yes ma'am, he's going to need stitches immediately after he's calmed down. Yes, we're in the ambulance, and we've treated him with drugs and painkillers." someone said calmly.

Mizu turned his head towards the voice. It was an officer, with a doctor that sat beside him. The doctor was on the phone and he was staring down at his lap. There were a few tubes connected to Mizu, and he was wrapped in bandages. Liquids flowed through them and it made him uncomfortable. He cleared his throat and the two men looked at him immediately. "He's awake, surprisingly." the doctor said into the phone. "Do you feel fine?" the officer asked gently. Mizu shrugged, and his eyes started to close themselves.

He fell back asleep.

"Yeah we haven't found the female who called, she sounded around 16 and she was crying. She said it was her fault and that she did this." A man said.

"What the fuck?" a teen asked, his green eyes lit with anger.

There was a call from the detective that stood in the room. He pulled his phone from his coat jacket and brought it to his ear. "Yes?" he answered. There was a short pause, then he pursed his lips. "Okay, I'll be there."

He shoved his phone back into his jacket. "I gotta go.. There was a dead body found, assumed it was suicide." he said then left the room.

The teen had walked to the side of Mizu's bed. He laid a hand on his and sighed, sinking to his knees. "Who the fuck did this to you..?" he whispered.

"Karen, Ryan it was Karen," Mizu sighed, annoyed that this happened to him. Ryan raised his head in surprise. "Wait, why??" He asked in shock.

Mizu sighed again, heavily, "she was jealous of me and she thought I liked you, so she did this to me."

"You like me?" Ryan questioned. Mizu shrugged in response. He didn't, but he didn't want to say, since he's pretty sure Ryan has a crush on him.

"Ah, okay…" Ryan gave him a small smile and stood up to sit in a chair.

A few moments passed by and an old lady walked in. "How is my grandson?" she asked as she walked towards the bed. "He's fine, he fell asleep though. The doctor also said that he's going to get stitches after his bleeding stops."

"Understood.. Did he discuss with you the medical bills?" she asked while sitting next to Ryan. "He said he can cover it with the insurance that Mizu's parents left for him, it can pay off the bills." he replied.

"That's always nice," Mizu's grandmother sighed in relief. Ryan nodded to what she said and sat there silently. He clasped his hands together in his lap and looked at her nervously, "Do you think he'll be alright?"

The aged woman stared at him, suddenly she looked tired and worn out. What you would expect to see from an elderly person. This shocked Ryan, since she looks quite young for her age, and always has a smile on her face. Though this is his first time seeing her frown. "Dear, I don't know. But damn right am I going to pray to God tonight." she shook her head and looked up at the ceiling.

"I will too ma'am, wish the best for the best," he said and gave her a small smile.

The whole time, Mizu was awake, but he only laid there silently. He was listening to them, they laughed softly, trying to reassure themselves and give hope to one another. He had a headache, and they were making it worse. He wanted them out from the room, though honestly, he didn't have the heart to tell them out.

"Well sweetheart, I'm gonna have to head back home, dogs can't feed themselves." she sighed before she stood to her feet. She was a surprisingly tall lady, and she always had an RBF. So you can say she's quite intimidating, which is why Mizu didn't like his grandma much. Especially after what happened to his parents.

"Okay, well.. Bye!" Ryan said before she closed the door.

She was in a rush, wiping the tears that ran down her face. She was having a meltdown right in the middle of a hospital. She didn't want to at all, so she ran out to her car, but regretted that immediately.

A car had happened to be going over 70, speeding through the parking lot. It was a police chase, and suddenly.. She became a victim.
