| Chapter 12 |
| Ashley glared at Joshua and Lance, "Do you mind telling me what your doing with that slut?" Joshua's eyes were almost on fire with anger, "Don't you dare call him a slut Ashley Parker Angel!" Ashley turned his glare on Lance, "Do you always go for taken boys JAMES!!!" Lance felt the anger welling up from deep inside, "No-one calls me James but the people I love, slut boy!" "Don't you dare call me a slut!" "Why not you sack o' shit. You've been fooling around on my boy all week!" Bobbee ranted as she stormed up to Ashley, "You better hide boy before I land your sorry ass in hospital where you can bend over and take it from whoever the fuck you want!" Ashley turned to Bobbee, "Oh yeah you gonna do it, I'd like to see you try!" Bobbee smirked at Ashley and slashed the side of his face with her sharp fingernails, "Take that shit for brains!" "You bitch!" Ashley screamed and drew back his fist. Bobbee would never see it, Joshua realized and he flew at her to push her out the way and Ashley struck Joshua under his eye and he went flying back and landed with a thud on the ground, being so thin he was knocked unconscious. "Joshua!" Lance screamed and flew at his limp body on the floor, his eyes filling wih tears as Joshua didn't respond to his yelling. Ashley stood there in shock he hadn't aimed at Joshua but he still ended up getting hurt. Nobody saw Joey running towards Ashley, rage filling his features, he had seen everything including Ashley hitting his brother and the fact he still hadn't got up made Joey even more angry. Ashley turned just in time to get knocked over by Joey who ran straight for his midsection at full speed, cracking a few of his ribs as they fell. Joey punched his midsection a few times before Ashley punched him in the face, he turned blazing eyes on his unsuspecting victim, "You so shouldn't of messed with us Ashley." Ashley didn't have anytime to react before Joey headbutted him and then he went for the money shot, kneeing him in the groin. Hard. Ashley was writhing on the floor when Joey kicked him again and then spat on him, "Fucking loser." Joey walked over to his brother and got down next to him, "Joshua! Joshua it's ok wake up." Lance was a mess as he knelt next to his love, "He's not waking up Joey." Tears streamed down his face. Joey turned wide frightened eyes on Lance, "He's going to be alright, isn't he? He has to be." Lance couldn't say anything as he broke down, his body wracked by gut-wrenching sobs as he rested his face on Joshua's chest his ear pressed against his heart so he could hear his loves steady heart beat. "Joey!" Justin yelled as he ran towards them skidding to a stop next to his unconscious brother, "Joey what happened?" Joey looked up with tears falling freely from his eyes, "Joshua was punched by that sack of shit," He nodded his head toward Ashley, "And he won't wake up." "W-what do you mean?" Justin asked fearfully. "I mean," Joey choked on a sob, "Joshua is unconscious but-but he's not waking up." Justin's tears fell down his face as he pulled out his cell and called home. "Hello?" Shady answered. "Daddy! You-you need to come to-to school, right away. Some-somethings happened." "What?" Shady asked fearfully. "Joshua, Joshua..." Justin couldn't say anymore and he broke down in tears. Joey took the phone from Justin and said, "Daddy?" "Joey! What happened to Joshua? What's wrong?" Joey took a deep breath, "Joshua's unconscious daddy." Shady gripped the phone, "My-my baby boy is hurt." Joey swore he heard his fathers heart break over the phone, "Daddy what do we do?" "Call 911. I'll be there as soon as I can." Shady said as he hung up the phone and flew out the door. Joey called 911 and told them what happened and they said they would be here shortly, Shady arrived very soon and hugged his boys as soon as he saw them. Joey noticed that Shady seemed confused as to why Lance was having a breakdown, he didn't know how strongly they felt about eachother. When the EMT's got there Joey had to physically pull Lance away from Joshua, and then they went in Shady's car to the hospital, they all sat in the waiting room in a tense silence only Justin and Lance's sobbing could be heard. The docter walked in and everyone jumped to their feet, "I assume your here for Joshua Mathers?" "Yes. What's wrong with him?" Shady asked. "Mr Mathers why don't you and I step out for a second?" "No. Tell me what's wrong with my brother!" Justin screamed at her. "Docter?..." Shady began. "Moore, Amanda Moore." Dr Moore replied. "Dr Moore could you," Shady paused he saw something in her eyes which made him change his mind, "Talk to me in the hall." "Of course." Dr Moore said and led Shady outside. "Is it that bad?" Justin whispered, "That daddy couldn't even let her speak to all of us?" Joey was about to speak when the door swung open and Chris yelled, "What the fuck happened?" Lance's head shot up at the sound of his brother, "Chrissy!" Chris took one look at his brother and raced over to him, wrapping his arms around him and rocking him as Joey told him what happenned, "I'll kill that fucker the next time I see him." "Join the club." Joey growled. "You okay baby brother?" Chris asked. "No." Lance whimpered, "Not until Joshua's ok." Chris held Lance tighter and looked over to Justin who was being comforted by Joey, "You okay squirt?" Justin looked at Chris, "When Joshua's given the all clear I will be ok." "Boys." Shady said as he walked in grim faced, "The doctor will tell you what's wrong." Four eyes focused on her and she spoke in a quiet reassuring manner, "Joshua suffered a bump to the head, being so thin it was quite severe..." She trailed off. "What's wrong with him?" Chris asked. She sighed, "He has inter-cranial swelling," She saw the horrified looks on their faces, "It's basically swelling around the brain which is the reason he hasn't woke up yet. When the swelling goes down he will wake up but that might not be for a while..." "Docter what are you saying?" Chris asked he didn't think the other three could ask even if they wanted to. "He's in a coma..." |
