Turnings

I just need to find a place to rust and close my eyes.

But I can’t I might have a possible concussion causing me to go into a coma if I fall asleep. Judging from the amount of pain in my ribs I’d say there are defiantly a few fractured or maybe even broken.

I have to keep going. At least find somebody who could take me to the hospital.

Holding my ribs I kept going. The blood from my nose dripping off my chin and onto my chest. By now it had cause a mini trail from my chest down my cleavage into my shirt.

I couldn’t feel the pain in my face now. it was to numb to do anything. I didn’t even know if I could talk or not.

I kept walking for what felt like hours. It might even have been hours. I lost track.

Then I heard a sound. Coming from behind one of the many doors to my right. Oh shit. What If they were exactly like the men that had just attacked me. I couldn’t handle another fight.

I quickly looked around to find a place to hide.

I saw a few filled bin bags piled together with a few metal bins against the wall by the door.

It would be a close call being against the door but it was my only choice right now.

I hobbled over there as fast as I could and crawled behind the bins. Trying to ignore the excruciating pain from my ribs as I moved.

The door then opened. Loud obnoxious voices filled the silence of the alley and many voices came out the door.

God they might be drunk.

“Hey did you hear about that chick that thought you were having a seizure?” laughed one of them. His voice really familiar. Yet I couldn’t pin point that it was.

“Yeah I did. Rude much. I was just enjoying beating my drums. Then some random chick thinks I have something wrong with me” a second man joked.

Then it clicked. They were black veil brides. They had just gotten out from the venue. Shit I can’t let them find me. I couldn’t meet other people’s idols. They deserved to meet them not me. This would just make me allot guiltier.

“I can see why she thinks that. You always looked crazed when you’re behind a set of drums” laughed another voice.

“Hey take that back, I don’t look crazy I look like any normal person” said the same voice as before.

“Dude, you’re not normal” laughed a different voice.

Then something fell on top of the bins and laughter exploded everywhere.

But that all stopped when I let out a quite scream in pain as when the guy fell he shoved a load of stuff onto my ribs.

“Hey guys, did you hear that.” Yet another voice said.

“Yeah, it sounded like a scream” one of them said.

“It came from behind the bins” exclaimed another.

Then footsteps could be heard coming towards the bins.

My heart started hammering in my chest. Oh no. they can’t find me.

I shoved my back hard against the wall. As bag after bag got chucked away into the alley.

Closer and closer they were getting to me. My heart be getting faster and faster with each bag being thrown.

Then there were no more bags only the bins I was hiding behind. I need to think of something quick. But there was nothing I could do. Apart, from run.

Shit I’m going to feel so much pain. Here goes nothing.

As soon as the metal bins from in front of me were moved I went for it. I just ran back down the alley were I had come.

But of course I forgot about the men that I had left down there. And when I ran down there I could see them both getting up. Shit backtrack.

I turned around to see 5 people running after me. Because I stopped they had slowed down. I didn’t plan on stopping for long though. I ran back up to them.

“Run that way now” I yelled out as much as I could. Luckily they could hear me and started running with me back to the bins.

When we got there. I started to feel really woozy. The blood loss added with the potential concussion and running allot would probably be why.

“Hey you don’t need to keep running from us. And why did you run back?” Andy asked me.

I kept my back turned from them. They can’t be the ones to help me. They just can’t

“Uh… reasons that you don’t need to know.” I told them. Though it came out as a whisper.

My chest ribs and legs were in so much pain right now I don’t know how I’m still conscious.

“Can you at least tell us why you were behind the bins then?” Ashley asked.

Then I heard footsteps coming towards me.

“Don’t come near me… uh… I don’t know you, you could be serial killers for all I know.” I said with panic in my voice.

But the footsteps didn’t stop.

“We aren’t serial killers. And by the looks of it you know who we are anyway. You’re a fan I can see the wristband you’re wearing saying black veil brides” Andy said.

Shit I forgot I was wearing that.

“Umm…it’s my friend I like the colours of the band so she let me borrow it for a few days.” I doubt they would believe that shame of an excuse.

And by the laughing that erupted from them I knew they didn’t believe me.

“Look, all we want to know, is why you were behind the bins, that’s all.” Andy said.

Then I felt a hand on my shoulder. I stepped forward letting his hand drop off my shoulder. I turned my head slightly so I could see them but they couldn’t see my face.

“It’s none of your business what I was doing, it’s my life not yours I don’t need to explain anything to you. Now if you will let me I’m going back to my friend.” I hope. I don’t know whether they heard me or not but I started walking off.

The more steps I took the fainter I felt. All of what has happened tonight was finally gaining on me. I started to see spots in my vision. I felt really woozy.

I had to stop walking. And lean against the wall to my left once again. My breathing becoming laboured.

Footsteps could be heard behind me. They were coming. Dammit I just got free of them.

“Hey are you alright?” Ashley asked putting a hand on my shoulder.

“Yeah I’m fine just tired, it’s been a long night.” I said. I tried getting off the wall again and walk but my legs wouldn’t carry me any further.

As soon as I put my weight on my left leg it gave way. Making me fall to the ground.

I never felt the impact though. Instead arms wrapped around my waist. Causing me to let out as agonizing scream.

It would have been less pain if I fell to the floor.

I quickly got laid on the ground. Face first. How considerate of them.

“You are not okay or just tired. You are in pain.” Andy said.

“No I’m alright it was just when Ashley caught me, he touched a really sensitive bruise that I got during my taekwondo lessons” I said putting my elbows on the floor. My eyes squeezed shut in agony. I knew they wouldn’t believe me once again as you could hear the pain in my voice.

“I hope you don’t think we’re going to believe that, we can see and hear you’re in pain.” CC said.

Then I was turned around. I don’t know who turned me around but I don’t really care right now. I’m on the verge of unconsciousness and I was in agonizing pain.

I could hear the gasps come from the band as they took in my appearance. Probably black eyes blood all over my face and the little river flowing down my body.

My breathing came laboured and it was getting harder to take in the air.

I knew I barley had any time before it would go dark in my brain. For how long I have no idea.

“Jake call an ambulance now” Andy said. For some reason I thought I heard concern and worry in his voice.

Why is he concerned and worried. He’s only just talked to me he doesn’t even know my name.

“Already on it” Jake replied with his phone against his ear.

“How did you get like this?” asked Ashley. Who was now one of the 3 boys kneeling next to me?

Ashley and cc were sat on my left whilst Andy was on my right. Jinx was stood watching me.

“How do you think? You should have seen the other two guys they had it worse.” I laughed humourlessly. Grabbing onto my ribs. I shouldn’t be laughing it causes more pain.

“Even in pain you can laugh, amazing.” Said CC with awe in his voice. Causing me to chuckle slightly. Ugh bad idea.

“Why didn’t you just tell us that you were in this state?” asked Andy.

“Becau-cause… I didn’t… want you… to do...anything” I breathed out. it was getting even more harder to breath.

“Shh its ok the ambulance will be here soon.” Said Jake coming to stand next to jinx.

I could feel myself losing consciousness now. I just need to get one thing out before I’m gone.

“Look…you can’t be…there…when I wake up. I hope. You can’t…be near the hospital…I’m in. As far as it…goes you found me…unconscious…already.” God I was losing it fast. “Then… you need…to forget about…me.” I managed to get out.

All of them looked confused. Of course they would. A fan saying to them to forget about her or him. But it has to be done. I can barely live with the guilt I have now. More can’t be added onto it.

By now I could hear faint sirens in the background.

The ambulance.

“Why would we do-“Andy began to say but I cut him off.

“Just…do it…that’s all…I’m asking. Please.” I begged.

Then I felt my body relax, my mind going blank, my vision turning black. I was unconscious.
