Iris (A SubZero Fanfic) [hIATUS]

Chapter Seven

Sky P.O.V

All I remember is telling Sub I loved him and...he fainted. I don't know why. Everyone was screaming and I saw why. Sub didn't just faint.

He was shot.

I could see the ambulance pull Sub into the truck outside and the pool of blood left behind. Random people were holding me back, and I was screaming.

The police wouldn't let me see him. "SUB! DON'T LEAVE!"

"Sir, calm down!" a employee that was holding me back said. I shook my head furiously. "I WANNA SEE SUB! PLEASE, I JUST WANNA SEE HIM! P-PLEAAASE!"

I accidently hit one with my elbow and he fell to the ground. "Sorry!" I said. It turned out the employee I hit was a girl, who looked about 18. She had long purple hair and dark eyes. She shook her head. "It's okay."

I ripped out of the other employee's grip and helped the girl up. "Thanks. My name's Tiffany, but you can call me Tiffy."

"Hey Tiffy!" I said, shaking her hand. "I'm Adam."

"Hello, Adam." she said sounding worried. "Was that your friend?"

"Yeah...my...friend." The word 'friend' left a sour taste in my mouth. I knew that I wanted Sub to be much more to me. But I knew that couldn't happen. It was too soon.

I felt tears forming in my eyes and she must have noticed them because she gave me a slight hug. "You poor thing! You must be truamatized to see that with your own eyes."

I really was crying now. "Y-Yeah."

Tiffy smiled at me. "What was his name again?"

"Sub."

Tiffy's eyes widened at the name and covered her mouth. "Ethan's brother?"

I nodded and gave her a confused look. "You know him?"

Tiffy nodded slowly. "I'm Ethan's girlfriend. We met Sub in the rain when he was about twelve. How about you come to my house and I'll fix you up some tea?"

I nodded and I noticed something. "How do you get here?"

"Bus."

"How about we take my car?" I suggested. "Okay." Tiffy smiled.

Time Skip To Tiffy's House...

I smiled as she handed me the tea. It smelled of honey and sugar. I was sitting on her velvet couch and she sat infront of me. "So," I started, sipping my tea. The warmth tickled my throat, which was clogged with unspoken words. "You met Sub in the rain?"

"Yep. We were all twelve. It was raining really hard and Ethan saw a figure in a alleyway. I got scared, so Ethan grabbed a pipe to make sure I was safe. It turned out it was a young boy, who was covered in bruises and cuts. We took him home, and our mother's let him stay. He was so skinny that we could see his ribs through his shirt. Everytime we fed him, he would vomit. He thrased in his sleep. And whenever we asked where his parents are, he would always mumble something. By the time Sub was 16, Ethan made his little brother. I had no problem that Ethan gave Sub attention since the poor guy needed it. He always seemed to hate his birthday, and he never told us why."

My mouth was in the shape of an O. Sub's past was NOT what I expected it to be. I tried to imagine Sub, the sweet,  shy little man I knew, covered in bruises and wide eyes in fear. It was so terrible, that I felt bile stinging my throat, so I took another swig of tea. Tiffy handed me a plate of sugar cookies and I took one and bit into it.

"That's terrible," I choked out, shoving the cookie in my mouth. Tiffy nodded and put a hand on my shoulder. "It is. But Sub was lucky. Lucky to have a friend like you. If it weren't for you, Sub wouldn't be here."

I looked at her. "How?"

"Sub said that the only reason he was living was because of someone special. But it wasn't Ethan or me. And he hung out with no-one more than you. Thank you."

I smiled weakly. I saved a life without knowing it. My phone was vibrating in my pocket. It was Ty.

"Hello?"

"DOOD!" Ty yelled in my ear. "SUB IS IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM! HE'S IN A COMA!"

"Wha-How did you know?"

"Word spreads quickly! NOW HURRY."

I looked at my phone as he hung up. I looked at Tiffy, as she smiled at me.

"Go get 'em, tiger."

I smiled and pulled on my coat, bursting through the door.

I'm coming, Sub.

???? P.O.V

I smiled as I watched Adam run out the door. "Tryin' to reach your precious Sub? Silly Adam. He'll be dead before you get there. Then we'll be happy."
