I wanna know the taste of your lips by heart

As the three of us walked down the corridor, I broke the silence.

“Someone dare to fucking explain what happened and why my brother is in this state?!”, I asked.

“Gerard, I’m sorry, I came in the changing rooms to find these morons beating the shit out of Mikey and I stopped them but I guess it was kind of… late”, Kyle looked at his feet.

“No, don’t apologize, thank you for actually…doing something to help”

“Mikes, how are you? Where does it hurt?”, I asked carefully, since I just couldn’t bring myself to act like more-than-a-brother with Mikey in front of other people, even if Kyle probably knew, judging from what I heard and what I’ve been thinking for the past two weeks.

“Y-yes, everywhere”, his face showed pain while he talked “M-my glasses?”

“Ah, I’m sorry, Mikey, I think these assholes broke them”, Kyle said.

“Okay, we’re going straight to the nurse and then to the principle to report them”, I said through gritted teeth.

“No, we are not going to th-the principle.”, Mikey stopped and looked at me frightened.

“What, are you insane? If it’s about them beating you again, it won’t happen again, okay? I promise…”, I looked at him meaningfully.

“It’s not about that”

“Then what?”, I asked desperately.

“I just want to… I- oh, it hurts so. fucking. bad.”, he winced.

“Hey, buddy. It’s gonna be alright”, I rubbed his back and felt like an idiot for not being able to do more.

“U-ummm, guys. You don’t have to, you know, um, act like, um, yeah.”, Kyle stuttered awkwardly.

“Can we talk about it later?”, I said, glaring at him.

“Of course, yes”, he said, just as we reached the nurse’s cabinet.

“I’ll wait here, I guess”, Kyle leaned against the wall in front of the cabinet.



When we walked in there, I was immediately horrified by the awful hospital atmosphere that surrounded the small room. I have always hated hospitals and doctors and the smell of antibiotics, it was all so frightening and especially the injections. The horrible needles, ready to pierce your skin, hell, I couldn’t even watch as the needle pierced someone else’s skin. But this wasn’t about me, this was about Mikey and I would be there for him, not letting anything bad happen to him again.

So, when we walked in, even the nurse was a little shocked but cleaned the blood, put some gel on his visible wounds which was probably meant to prevent them from infection and help them heal faster and she said that he had sprained his wrist. She also said he’d just have to wait a week or two until the bruises, which covered much of his milky smooth skin faded and put ice on his right black eye as soon as he gets home.

Mikey’s official version was falling down the stairs but it was so damn obvious he was lying, I just couldn’t believe the nurse bought it but I guess she was just used to kids coming there after being beaten by jocks and lying about it, just because they were too scared to say what had actually happened. I just couldn’t understand why Mikey would want to keep it a secret, he knew he had me and, eventually, Kyle and we wouldn’t let anyone touch him again. He was acting weird and I couldn’t wait to be alone with him and ask him for the real reason behind it. Did they threaten him? Or was he scared they would do it again, if he reported them? I was confused.

After we got out, we found Kyle leaning against the wall in the same position we left him earlier. When he looked up, his eyes immediately widened

“Mikey! How are you feeling now? Do you have anything broken?”, he asked worriedly.

“Well, um, she said I have sprained my wrist but other than that… I just have to use some gel to disinfect my wounds, you know…”

“’I have sprained my wrist?’ So you didn’t tell her what happened?”, Kyle asked, confusion finding its way to his face.

“She would’ve told the principle”, he simply said.

“But I don’t understand why wouldn’t you-“

“My head is throbbing like crazy, I just want to go home now, can we go?”

“Uh, yes, yes. Get better!”, he said before I smiled apologetically at him and mouthed ‘thank you’. Then we were gone.

Notes
