ONE 18: Airy didn't Shatter (ONE AU)

Alone and Annoyed

Liam’s POV:

Errgh.. what.. happened.. My headdd…

I sit up, looking down at my leg. Oh..right. I tried to swing at Airy and the tree completely crushed my leg. Right..

Wh- Airy made me a cast? Why? I tried to kill him. Why did he.. you know what, I actually don’t want to know.

I sigh and grab my crutch, starting to look around the cabin.

…

AIRY??

He’s asleep on the floor. He’s whimpering or.. crying it seems. What happened?? Why is he all scraped up?? I tuck my crutch under my arm and slowly get up off the bed. I take a few steps towards Airy, he’s asleep. 

“Airy? Are you awake?” I ask, looking down at him.

No response.

Shoot- what do I do? Is he dead? If he’s not, should I just…

…

He can’t send them back if he’s dead. 

I know Texty wants me to kill him.. I can’t bring myself to do it. I hate him. I hate him with every inch of my being. WHY is he so harmless in real life???? I don’t understand him. I want more answers. 

I sigh and sit down on the floor. Airy is in front of me. He looks pained. I shake his shoulder, trying to wake him up.

“AIRY!” I shout, trying to wake him up.

He’s not waking up. 

SHOOT! NOW WHAT?

...?!

“AIRY- YOUR ARM-??” 

I stare in disbelief. His arm is completely shattered. No wonder he’s crying in his sleep.

He’s passed out- is he even alive? Is he dead or passed out? I reluctantly set my hand on his chest to check for a pulse. 

…

He has a pulse.

Okay, okay, good. He isn’t dead. Just.. passed out. I get up, going back to my bed. I sit down, bringing out the computer. Texty. Help.

…

No battery.

No. No. I’m alone. With Airy. This can’t be happening. What do I do-? No..

I shake my head to try and clear my thoughts. Okay.. I can’t bring myself to kill him. I can’t. I need more information. His arm though.. What happened? I’m going to take a look..

I get up, limping over to Airy. I go to his right, looking at him. His face is dark. He’s been crying. That’s.. strange. I’ve never seen him show any emotion like that. To be fair, I didn’t see him cry so I don’t know if he did for sure. His arm looks.. mangled, shattered even. I sit down infront of him, inspecting the damage. I gently lift his arm, it’s quite bad. I look down at Airy, he’s quivering now.

I gently set his arm down, looking around for something to soothe his pain. Well.. I can’t put ice on it.. how do I help? I can try a cast.. 

I get up and go to my bed, grabbing most of the bedding. I hobble back to Airy, sitting back down. I take the bedding and gently make a fluffed up spot for Airy’s arm. I gently lift his arm up and set it on the reeds and fluff. 

Airy starts to cry silently. Wh.. okay? I can’t.. soothe the pain for him. Maybe I should try a cast.. 

I grab my crutch and start to head out of the cabin. I turn the corner to the side of the cabin and dig through the wood. There isn’t a good piece. I guess.. I’ll just have to use this one. It’s damp and rough. It will be uncomfortable.. but Airy deserves that. 

Now.. I need vines for rope. Hopefully it will hold up. I start to walk to the cave. I should.. check on them. No way Airy is getting up anytime soon. I push the vines back and walk in the cave. 

The Plane. 

I walk over and look at the rest that are stuck on the Plane. This is messed up. They need to go back. They don’t deserve this. I sit down at the desk, grabbing the mic cord. I hesitantly plug it into the Plane, everyone looks so exhausted.

“Guys- it’s me- Liam.” I say, watching them nervously.

Amelia practically jumps to her feet and looks up at the sky. The others do the same.

“LIAM- HOW ARE YOU- WHERE'S AIRY?” Bryce shouts at me, holding Amelia’s hand.

I sigh and say quietly; “It’s.. a long story. I don't know how or when but he's severly hurt. I don’t know what I’m going to do. I can’t talk to you guys much but I thought I should update you while I can.”

Subway seat pipes up, asking; “Isn’t he.. dangerous? He hasn’t killed you?” 

They are all waiting for my answer. He isn’t dangerous as far as I can tell at the moment. Uhm..

“No.. I don’t know. He hasn’t tried to harm me once.” I reply.

Charlotte looks furious. I’m telling the truth.. The confusing truth.

“Look I.. have to go guys. Please take care okay? I’ll try to talk to you as much as I can.” I mutter nervously, turning off the mic. 

I unplug the Plane, softly sighing. I know this is just making them have more and more questions to ask. I grab my crutch, hobbling out of the cave. I tear some vines from the cave as I leave. Okay. Right, cast.

I walk back to the wood stack. My crutch keeps sinking in the mud. Ugh, whatever. I grab the wood I picked out earlier and go back to the cabin. I go inside, setting the vines and wood down. Airy is curled in a ball now. He’s still passed out. I look to Airy’s desk, there's a small handheld knife there. I think he carved my cast with it. 

I sit down at the desk and start hollowing out the wood. It’s very quiet. All I can hear is Airy’s heavy and short breaths. I can’t do much to help him except make him this cast. 

I continue carving in silence, it’s taking awhile. I sigh and look back at Airy, he’s still curled into a ball. I look back to the wood and continue carving out a cast.

After about an hour, I carved it out. The cast is made now. I’ll have to put it on Airy. I get up from the desk and sit down in front of Airy.  I gently hold his arm, slipping the top part of the cast on. I adjust it to his elbow. Now I need to put the bottom part on. I slip the lower arm cast onto Airy’s arm and start to tie the two parts together with a vine. Hopefully this works. 

I tie them together tightly, making sure it’s sturdy. Okay. I can make the sling later.

I sigh and scoot back a bit. Airy should’ve regained consciousness by now. This isn’t normal. 

“AIRY GET UP.” I shout.

Airy doesn’t wake up.

Are you kidding me??? Ughhh. I sigh as I get up. I lay down on my bed, staring down at the computer. Texty..

I’ll have to see if Airy has a charger for them. I mean.. when he wakes up. Airy is just.. Laying there. He's breathing heavily and in a panicked manor. There’s nothing I can do while he’s asleep.

I know Texty would tell me to kill him right now. I can’t bring myself to right now. 

…Not right now.
