Finding Quinn

Chapter 16: I'm sorry

(Quinn's POV)

I didn't know what to do. I couldn't go back to Mark. I couldn't face Xander. Morgan texted me with words I'm surprised auto correct didn't change so I lost her as a best friend. I wanted to die. I didn't want to be here.

I wanted Xander for years and now I lost him. I felt empty. I left and went and found the one thing I knew I shouldn't. The people who where kicked out of school because they beat me.

I knew where they hung out and when they saw me they looked pissed. I knew what they where going to do to me and I didn't care. I had given myself plenty of pain killers so everything they did to me wouldn't matter.

They kicked me and punched me and spat on me. I was hoping they would kill me before the pain killers would. I deserved to suffer. I had ripped out Xander's heart and now he was hurting.

I closed my eyes as they keep making contact with my body and there shoes. I know I was going to die I wanted to die. Soon the pain of them kicking me stopped and I just layed there waiting for the sweat embrace of death.

When I woke up I hurt. I guess the pain killers didn't work and the dumb jocks could even kill me right. I stood up and very unstedally walked. There was one place I knew I could go to get the job done. As I walked up the familiar dirt road I saw a figure standing at the edge of the over look. With out saying a word I walked up to the guard rail I know they wouldn't care if I jumped no one but Xander cared. As I stepped over it started to rain. A sad ending to a sad life.

(Xander's POV)

I needed to find Quinn. I loved him and nothing he would ever do would change that. I looked everywhere for him. I looked in his stores that he frequents. I looked at his house and in his room. I looked in his tree house. I went to the homeless shelter where he volunteers.

I thought I had looked everywhere. That's when I remembered the spot on the hill. I drove as fast as I could even with tears in my eyes. I was there in a matter of minutes.

He wasn't there so I sat on the bench and thought about my next move. That's when I saw a figure walking to the guard rail. As he stood there it started to rain.

I knew what he was going to do so I ran over and hugged him. Who ever he was I was not letting him jump. After I embraced him I started to cry. I couldn't help it. I thought I lost Quinn so I wasn't losing him.

"Xander?" His voice cracked. "It was me not Mark. He's innocent."

"Quinn!" I looked at my boyfriend.

He didn't look like the man I loved. His face swollen. Cuts and bruises everywhere. Blood matted his hair and turned his white shirt red. I pulled him back over the rail. I picked him up and carried him to my car.

I texted Mark and asked him to meet us at our house. As I drove Quinn fell asleep. I let him he's been through hell. That's when his phone went off. It was Morgan and I thought she was texting asking where he was.

I pulled over to check it and let her know I found him. That's when I saw the hateful words she used. I wanted to cry. No wonder Quinn tried to kill himself. I looked at every message she sent him and all the hate she sent him. I put his phone down. I wanted to throw it but it wasn't my phone.

I drove home as fast as I could. I got home and picked Quinn up. Even with the heater on he was still so cold. I opened the door and Morgan was on the couch. I did not say a word to her and she didn't say anything  to me.

I took Quinn up stairs and laid him on our bed. I slowly took his cloths off. Even though I explored every inch of his body before this one looked foreign to me. Bruises that looked bad and cuts that where worse.

Soon Mark came running through the door.

"Oh my god what happened?" He said running to our side.

"I don't know I found him like this." I said. "Your a med student right?"

"Yes." He responded.

"Good. Fix him."

With out saying a word I walked down to Morgan.

"Get out!" I said blankly.

"What?" She asked.

"Get out!" I said louder.

"Why?" She asked.

"I saw what you sent him. Get the Fuck out of our house!" I said yelling. "He tried killing himself. I should kill you but I'm not your my sister."

She got up and I put my hand out.

"I want your key." I said. "You will get it back when I want you to move back in."

She took the key off the key chain and threw it at me. She walked out the door and I locked it. I know what your going to say she was only trying to protect me but I'm a grown man I can do that myself.

I walked back up to Quinn and Mark was just shaking his head.

"How is he?" I asked.

"Bad." He responded. "He has atleast three broken ribs and almost twenty  lacerations that are deep."

"Do we need to take him to the hospital?" I asked

"No he should be fine." He said. "Just make sure he takes painkillers. I fixed him up the best I could."

"Thank you." I said stating at the broke body that is my boyfriend. Also I'm sorry for yelling at you."
