Delinquent ?Joshler?

Chapter 8: Found

"You fucker!" Tyler snarled shoving Andrew and clawing at his face. Andrew swung at Tyler but barely missed. Tyler was used to being up close and fast since he played basketball. Tyler got one good punch in before Andrew kicked Tyler in his ankle, bringing him down. Andrew climbed on top of Tyler and began punching him in the face over and over and over.....

Josh struggled but got back up kicking Andrew in the jaw, a sickening crack sound was heard as Andrew screamed and fell back spitting up blood.He grabbed Tyler and pulled him into his arms.

"Tyler! Tyler wake up!" Josh yelled shaking Tyler's head gently. "Debby grab some cold water, please!"

Debby, who had been standing in the corner of the room, swiftly went to the kitchen and retrieved a cup of ice water stepping over an unconscious Andrew who was still curled up on the floor.

Josh grabbed the cup and poured it over Tyler's face, making him awake with a start.

"What the fuck that's cold!" Tyler swore spitting a mixture of blood and water out of his mouth.

"Oh thank God." Josh said holding Tyler close. Tyler weakly hugged Josh back and glanced over and Andrew on the floor.

"We should probably go." Tyler said struggling to stand up. Josh helped him and held him steady as he realized Tyler's ankle was badly bruised and swelling.

"Debby are you going to be okay?" Josh said standing in the doorway for a minute staring back at her.

"Yeah, I'll drag him outside and leave him there. My dad will be home soon so I should be fine. Thanks Josh, I'm sorry this happened." Debby said sighing and grabbing Andrew by the ankles and began pulling.

"Not your fault. I hope he doesn't come back around." Josh sighed,walking down the porch steps with Tyler who was gripping onto his shirt tightly. Blood was dripping down the side of Tyler's face where the brass knuckles had broken the skin around his eye.

"I'm probably going to get a gun or something." Debby said dragging Andrew down the steps and onto the lawn. "If my dad doesn't shoot him when he comes home anyways. Go take care of your boyfriend." She winked at him before kicking Andrew in the ribs and going back inside.

"TYLER!" Kelly yelled as Josh stumbled through the door with Tyler on his arms. Madison's eyes widened as she looked up from the television."Oh my god what happened? Move off the couch Madison."

Madison got up and just stared as Josh and Kelly both situated Tyler on the couch. Tyler groaned a bit in pain.

"Does he have a concussion?" Kelly said as she began calling an ambulance.

Josh picked at his thumb again. "I-I don't know."

"The ambulance will be here soon. You better have something to tell me once they get you both fixed up do you understand me?" Kelly said firmly as she got two ice packs from the freezer, handing one to Josh and pressing the other gently against Tyler's face.

Josh held his against his eye. Moments later flashing lights appeared outside of the house and EMT's came in with a gurney, putting Tyler on it who was barely conscious. They told Josh to get in the back of the ambulance for treatment as Kelly grabbed her car keys saying she'd follow behind.

Josh stumbled outside, being firmly held onto by an EMT who helped him into the back of the ambulance. The doors closed and they swarmed over Tyler and Josh as the began driving off. Josh could feel stinging on his eyebrow but his gaze didn't move from Tyler who was just laying on the gurney motionless, like a dead fish. It made him feel sick. It was all his fault.

Josh's fingers drummed against the hospital bed as the doctor began sewing up Josh's gash on his eyebrow. "How much longer is this gonna take?"

"Just a few more seconds Joshua." The doctor said snipping the wire and dabbing at the closed wound with a swab covered in iodine. Josh winced. "I would recommend you staying here but I can see you're impatient to see your friend."
