I walked out of the room and looked at knuckles. They were bright red and I had a cut on the end of my ring finger. As I walked out, Juliet gasped and called my name. "Trevor? What are you doing here? And what happened to your knuckles?!?" She started to walk over but I moved away.

"I got into a fight. It was near here so I thought I could ask for help." I lied. She bought it and took my hand.

"Oh god... I hope your okay. Let's go get you washed up." She started to pull but I stood still.

"No. I dont need help anymore, thank you. I'll be leaving." I tore my hand away and walked down the stairs.

"Wait Trevor Please! Your hand could get infected!" She tried to help. I ignored her and walked out of her house and made my way home. As I entered the loop I saw Richie sitting on his porch. He saw me and perked up.

"TREVOR!" he yelled and ran towards my car. I got out and he stopped to examine me. "WHAT DID YOU DO? Where did you go?" He interrogated. I simply stared at him in silence. "And what the hell happened to your knuckles, dude!" He grabbed my hand and rubbed over the bruise. "This cut looks really deep, holy shit." He seemed very serious from his usual self. "Come on, I help you clean this." He walked me towards his house, I allowed him. He took me to the bathroom and wiped down the cut. "Can you at least summarize what you did? I know you don't talk much... but for me?" He looked at me with pulpy dog eyes. I had to tell him, but I didn't want to make him disappointed in me.

"I got into a fight." I repeated, though this time I didn't lie about who with, I just simply didn't tell him who.

"Well you seem ok... Which means the other person isn't." Richie sighed and put some alcohol on it, I flinched a bit as I wasn't paying attention. "Your lucky I know a thing or two about stitching." He nervously laughed as he patted the rag around the cut. I stared down as his hand as he hummed a song, his tone was shaky. "So... Who was the unlucky guy?" He finally asked. He had just started to stitch up the cut.

"Can't say." I replied. He looked up at me and gave me one of his famous "seriously" faces. He knew I couldn't hold a secret from him.

"Come on, Trevor. You can tell me anything!" He chuckled.

"Can't say." I repeated, I was beginning to feel guilty as his hand shook.

He sighed once more and looked me in the eye. "Fine... But tell me the color of their hair." I nervously chuckled at his question.

"Blonde."

"JULIET?!" He gasped. I shook my head and he relaxed. "Good! I know she deserves it but she's a girl... And you know thats illegal. Plus I'm sure she knows she did wrong." He finished up and smiled. "All done! Want me to kiss it better?" He joked, but he knew that I didn't want him to so he let me go Iq and thanked him. "No problem... But you should really tell me who you beat up." He said as we walked towards his front door. I contemplated for a second as he opened the door. As I grabbed hold of the doorknob I blurted out the name of my victim.

"Hector."

Trevor slammed the door in my face as he whispered Hector's name. I stood in shock as everything became quiet. "Hector.... Oh no. Juliet is gonna freak. S-she won't find out... right? I'm sure she doesn't even talk to her brother after school. It'll... It'll be ok. God I hope he's alive." I started to walk towards my room when the doorbell rang. I quickly turned and opened it to see Freddy. "FREDSTER! I've been meaning to talk to you, come in!" I opened the door for him but he stood there.

"Richie... Where does (Y/n) live?" He asked shyly as he looked down.

"I... I don't know if she wants me to tell you that." I slumped.

"I want to apologize to her... For the outburst and lying to her." He looked down and fiddled with his thumbs. I didn't want to tell him, the others already know so my chances of winning her over are almost gone. "Besides you already told the others, no?" My eyes widened as he reminded me. I slumped in my spot as I whimpered.

"Why did you have to remind me of my big mouth... Well I mean. She knows where we live right? I guess it wouldn't hurt...." I gave him the address and he completely changed his attitude.

"Thank you Richie! You're the best!" He beamed.

"Anything for my little Freddy bear." I cooed and pinched his cheek. He sighed and we said our goodbyes as he walked away. 'Hope all goes well.' I closed the door and finally went to my room.

I sat on my couch as I did my homework. My mom was cooking dinner and I could smell chicken. As I finished up I heard the door being knocked on. I quickly got up and opened to see Freddy. 'How the hell...?' "Freddy? How did..." I stopped myself before I could even ask, there was really no point in asking when I already knew the answer.

"Richie gave it to me. I wanted to apologize." He fiddled with his thumbs as he looked down. "I'm sorry about the outburst at lunch... And I'm sorry about the lie I told about my nose."

"Its... Its ok." I half smiled, but I was wonderinf why he needed to come all the way to my house to tell me. "Maybe you and Jason really did get into a fight, I hope you both are ok."

"Oh I'm... I'm fine. I hope he's not." He pouted and looked away.

"You two should try and make up tomorrow-" I was cut off by my phone ringing. "Hold on." I took out my phone and saw it was Juliet. "Hello-"

"(Y/N), PLEASE, COME HERE QUICK, OH MY GOD!!" I flinched back from my phone due to the fact that she was screaming, even Freddy was stunned.

"What? What's wrong?" I asked as quickly as possible.

"I don't- I didn't know who to call I'm so sorry please... Its Hector! He's hurt please come over now." she was begging at this point. I hesitated and looked at Freddy. He looked as if he had no idea as what was happening.

"Ok, what's the address?"

"ILL TEXT YOU, JUST GET HERE PLEASE!" she hung up and I immediately got the text after. I told my mom I was leaving and she told me to be careful. Me and Freddy took my mothers car and we raced out of my driveway. Not long after we found the house and I parked close to the curb. We bolted out of the car and ran into the house. We heard Juliet crying and we went upstairs. Freddy made it first but paused as soon as he saw.

"What, what is it? What happ-" I stopped as I saw what had happened. My eyes widened and my muscles tensed up. "Oh... My god." I was shaking uncontrollably and I was getting multiple chills down my back.

"Please help!" Juliet cried, tears were streaming down her face and she genuinely looked like she was about to pass out. She held Hector in her arms and rocked back and forth. Freddy ran towards them and picked him up and carried him towards the bathroom. He was knocked out. I stayed back to try and calm her down.

"Juliet please, its going to be ok... I promise." I rubbed her back and have her a hug. I couldn't get the image of his bloody face as I he'll her.

"NO! My brother is going to die! And its my fault. He probably did this to himself." She sobbed into my sweater.

"No, He won't. Tell me how you found out, and when." She looked up and tried to remember.

"I... I dont remember. Once I saw Hector I couldn't a remember anything, I was so shocked I think I blacked out." She cried.

"Dammit. Where are your parents?" I looked up when I heard Freddy curse, though it was muffled through the running water sound.

"They're never home!" She yelled. "They left for some business trip last week and they never tell us when they'll get back." She was sobbing uncontrollably. I tried to find any tissues but Hector didn't seem to have any in his room.

"Seriously... I'm sure Freddy can fix this-" I stopped as I heard someone coming up the stairs. "S-stay here, ok?" I told her as I got up and ran towards the door. I peered out to see Richie, he was holding a box. "Richie? What are you doing here?" I caught his attention. He had a nervous face, but he kept his smile.

"Oh! (Y/n).... I didn't expect you here. I'm here to help Hector. My dad is a doctor and he taught me a few things." He assured me. I relaxed a bit and let out a sigh.

"Did Freddy call you?" I asked as I looked into the bathroom.

"He texted me when you guys were in the car... or so he said. I got here as soon as possible. It'll be back, Hector will be ok. My dads a doctor so I know some things." He nodded and went towards tbe bathroom. I looked back at Juliet and walked over to comfort her.

"Its ok... Richie is here to help. It'll all be ok." I hugged her and rocked her back and forth. She hugged back and continued to cry in fear for her brother.

'This is quite the eventful day...' I nervously chuckled as I made my way towards the bathroom. 'Time to see what Trevor did.' I opened the door and almost fell. "Jesus Christ." I blurted out. Freddy swung his head towards me and he had a frightened look on his face. "Its ok Freddy. Step back I can help." Freddy moved and I started to patch him up. 'Jesus Trevor... You had no mercy.'
