Drummer Boy

Chapter 19

I try and stand up but I can't put pressure on my leg so I fall back down on top of Tré. Tré stands up and picks me up by the waist. He twirls me around and holds me against him. He kisses the top of my head, "we'll survive this, I promise, no matter what he does to us we'll stay strong," he sits back down and pulls my into his lap, "we're a team, remember that." I nudge him with my nose. He smiles at my and kisses my lips. I sit in Tré's lap for a few hours. I start to loose consciousness from blood loss. They do all they can to help stop the bleeding but they only manage to slow it down. I try to stay awake but it's really hard. I gets a little hard for me to breathe. Tré looks at me and whispers, "you can let go now, it's okay." Tears fall from his eyes. I think of Kylie, I can't leave her, I'm the only family she's got left. By now the pain in my leg has went down to a constant throb. I shake my head, "no, I have to stay," I mutter, "Tré help me, please." Tré wipes his eyes and kisses me. He takes his shirt off and tightly wraps it around my leg. My leg stops bleeding but it still hurts like hell. Tré has a big slash across his chest. I put my hand against it and trace it with my fingers. I holds my hand in place, "I love you," he says
