The first thing I heard when I woke up was Anna crying, I opened my eyes the best I could despite them being swollen. Anna hung over me lifting my head “Cameron! Wake up!”
Lifting my head was like lifting a ton of bricks and blood had dried on my face and in my hair. I groaned.
“Cameron! Are you ok? We need to get you to a hospital!”
“No…” It hurt to talk “No, I’ll be ok. Please just…” I groaned in between my sentences. “Just help me up.”
Anna did what she could to help me up. My whole body ached and I could see she was in pain also.
“What happened?” I asked as I wiped my face with my sleeve.
“Emmett, he and his friends beat you, then Emmett kicked me,” she was still crying. “And Dash stuck up for me, Emmett hit him, and then they all left.”
“He hurt you? Are you ok?” I asked Anna.
“I’ll be ok,” She said, “If you refuse to go to the hospital, at least come with me to my place. It’s just down the street and we’ll get you cleaned up.”
Anna wrapped my arm around her and we walked to her place.
