Locked In

Little One

"Paisley, are you okay?"

Do I look okay!

"Well it is your fault for giving Brit that dare"

Paisley forced her neck to turn to Zachary's side and glared at him with all the hatred she could muster, even if she was wearing a neck brace, sitting in a wheel chair and had her left hand bandaged, Zachary was still afraid of what she could do to him and that made me laugh to see a six feet one man cower in fear but my laughter turned into whimpers when she glared at me

I was afraid too

"Paisley, here's your soup so you won't go hungry and also not stress your throat. It's warm so you don't have to worry about it burning you and I made sure to add little bits of chicken so it wouldn't be bland. Just the way you like it!"

Kayla bowed slightly (a habit she picked from watching too much anime and Korean movies) and placed the bowl on the tray attached to Paisley's wheelchair, smiling shyly when Paisley used her none-broken hand to write a 'thank you' on her clip-board

"So Brit Brit, why did you take so long in Wyatt's room?"

I scratched my head at Zachary's question and thought back to yesterday's event

~~~

After I had called the paramedics, I watched them roll Paisley into the van and tried not to vomit at the sight of Paisley giggling while she played with her dislocated fingers that were coated in blood, probably out of it since they gave her anesthesia to put her to sleep

"Hannah, come here"

I looked at Wyatt and walked to him with my head down, blushing when my head chose to pop up the images of him and that girl, and refused to correct him again with my name

"Yes?"

"I don't want any of your friends to find out about this, especially Paisley"

"Why?"

"Just listen to me and don't tell her anything. Okay?"

"I-I'll try"

"Give me your phone"

"Okay, but why?"

"I want to put my number on it so whenever I need you, I'll just call"

~~~

"W-we were... umm... I! I, I didn't see him sleeping o-on his bed s-so I checked around his house to see i-if he was sleeping anywhere else! But I didn't see him and... well... I was getting ready to j-jump back in the room when Paisley did... that"

Kayla nodded her head at my explanation and helped Paisley tilt the bowl into her mouth when she saw her struggling but Zachary didn't believe me as easily as Kayla and Paisley did but chose not to ask me about it when he saw my pleading eyes

"Brit-"

Kayla was cut off by my phone ringing, I looked at the caller ID and nearly dropped my phone when I saw it was Wyatt

What did he need me for?

"Sorry, I-I have to take this bye!"

I walked out of Paisley's bedroom and outside the house, pacing back and forth when my phone kept on ringing

What should I do?

Should I answer it? Should I not answer it?

So many choices! So little time
