Larry pov
I thought I heard someone outside my door while I was crying. It was probably just my imagination. I just needed to get everything out before I could hang out with Shrig anymore, or I might start yelling at him to get my sadness and anger out.
   I think I'm begining to forgive him, but I do still resent him a tad for leading me on
Collin pov
(his room is closest to the bathroom and he wasn't in Tony's room for some reason fyi)
I heard a loud thud come from the bathroom. I checked the time, it was about 5:30. Maybe someone slipped and fell, the tiles can get pretty slippery in there.
I left my room and made my way to the bathroom, it was only about a foot away from my room. Both a blessing and a curse
I saw a liquid coming out from under the door, so I turned on the hallway light to see better
To my horror it was blood. Seeping out from under the door, soaking into the carpet just outside
I opened the door quickly and saw a terrible scene. Shrig was passed out on the ground, blood coming from his stomach, and he was holding a knife.
"TONY, LARRY, ANYONE" I shouted as loud as I could
I crouched down to shrigs level and checked his pulse, it was extremely weak, but still there
"What is it?" Tony asked groggily
His eyes widened as he saw what I was doing
"Call an ambulance NOW" I shouted at him
I wadded up the towel on the counter and pressed it on his stomach, trying to stop the bleeding
"What's going on?" Larry asked as he walked next to Tony
"I-oh my god" he said
"D-did he do this??" He asked frantically
"I'm not sure, Larry. He's going to be ok don't worry" I reassured him, but to be honest I wasn't sure if Shrig would pull through
   "They're on their way" Tony told me
   "Can someone get me another towel this one is soaked, and maybe a pillow so I can elevate his head" I asked
   "Yea sure" Larry said running off to his room, before reamerging with a pillow and towel
"Thanks" I said removing the other towel
I inspected the wound before I put the other one on. It looked really deep, at least 1 inch or 2
I could only hope none of his vital organs were damaged. I kept applying pressure as I heard the ambulances siren get louder as it approached
Soon they emts were in the bathroom wrapping a thick banadage around him before putting him on a stretcher
"We'll be at this hospital, feel free to follow us" one of the emts said before driving off
"Tony grab your car keys we're going" I told him
"Should we tell the others?" Tony asked
"We can text them when we get there we can't right now" I responded
"Larry, do you want to come with?" I asked him
"Y-yea" he stuttered, walking into the car with us
We started our drive to the hospital, there was some mild traffic but not too much thankfully
We made it to the front desk and asked the receptionist what was happening
"He just got in so we don't have much information yet, you're welcome to wait, or give us you're contact info and we'll call you when some news comes through" he informed us
   "Ok, thank you" I said
"Do you guys want to wait here?" I asked
"Yes" Larry said
"Same" Tony said
"Ok, I'll text Steve and let him know what happened, I'll tell him to tell the others" I told them
   After doing that I realized my adrenaline was starting to wear off and the full effect of what was happening finally set in.
   "I-I'm gonna go to the restroom" I told Tony
I walked in and collapsed on the floor (don't worry the flor is absolutely spotless so he can be emo)
I brought my knees to my chest and tried to control my breathing but couldn't. All of the tips I gave Shrig weren't working and I was scared not knowing what to do
   'Why would he do that?' 'Was it my fault?' 'Did I not help him enough' 'why can't I do anything right?' I thought to myself
I texted Tony and asked him to come in, maybe he would help
(These are single use bathrooms btw, and Collin unlocked the door so Tony could come in)
Tony burst into the room extremely quickly and immediately crouched down to my level to help
"I-I tried a-all the tricks t-that he-helped in the pa-ast" I choked out, trying my hardest to breathe
Tony didn't say anything and instead just hugged me. I'm not sure if it was a last ditch effort or if he truly thought it would work. It did thankfully, but I still felt like I was going to pass out
"T-thanks" I stuttered
"Everything will be okay, don't worry about a thing" he said
"How's Larry?" I asked
"I'm not sure, he's been looking at a wall the entire time, he won't respond to me" he told me
"Let's go back to Larry, maybe we can comfort him" I told Tony
When we got back I saw a tear fall down Larry's face. I hugged him from behind and told him the same thing Tony told me
The receptionist called us up to the desk to give us news
"He's in critical condition, but the doctors are fairly certain he'll survive, he caused damage to his stomach so they're doing surgery to try and fix as much as they can. He'll be in surgery for a while so you may go home if you like. Please leave a contact number on this form if you do choose to leave" he told us
"Thank god" I said whilst filling out the form
"Larry, let's go home, we need to rest" I said grabbing his hand to guide him to the car. He looked like he was in shock
As soon as we got in the car Larry burst out crying
"I-it's all my fault" he shouted
"No it's not Larry, it's no one's fault. Just be glad Shrig won't die" I said trying to comfort him
"Right..." he said through tears
   We made it home and Steve was pacing in front of the door
"He's going into surgery, but they think he'll make it" I told him
"Thank god" he sighed
"Are you guys ok?" He asked
"Not really, but we'll be alright" tony told him
"I'm going to go start cleaning the bathroom" I said before leaving, Tony said something behind me but I left too fast
I cleaned up the blood, almost gagging at the sight. I didn't want anyone else to see this grotesque sight.
After about an hour I had it all cleaned up so I made my way for my room and layed on my bed passing out almost immediately. I was exhausted and it wasn't even noon yet
