"Thanks". Eddie replied.Everyone had gone home,there was no janitor or cleaner of some sort.
He felt something was wrong but he didn't know what
"That's all, just wanted to say that".Clay smiled and walked away
"Alright then". Eddie muttered
He turned to place his hand on the door knob when he felt a sharp objects piercing his side,below his ribs
"Have a nice life,Edward Johnson".Clay whispered in his ear.
He laughed and quickly walked away.
The wound was deep and he felt his consciousness fading away.
"Guys".He muttered as he clawed slightly at the door
Eddie slumped to the floor.Bright red fluid slowly flowed out of the wound.
Eddie put his hand to the wound and applied all the pressure he could muster.
'I can't die, No,Not now.I just got my mom back".Thoughts like these swirled in his head
He needed to find a way to call help and fast.He could feel his strength dwindling every second.
He put his other hand on the wound and allowed the blood to stain his hand.He tucked that hand under the door and rubbed it on the floor.
He prayed that someone would notice the stain on the floor
Julian,Chris,anyone.
"please".He muttered
He couldn't call for help,he had a feeling no words would come out.
Two minutes passed by and nothing happened.He could still hear the guys chatting.
"Damn it,I'm sorry everyone".He thought as his eyes closed
The hand which was on the wound dropped to the floor.
"Hey, Eddie's been gone for some time".Julian said
"Yeah, maybe clay challenged him to a game"Joey said."I'm sure Eddie's beating him right now"
"I want to watch".Bruce stood up and ran out the door
"Hey guys,the door's stuck and what the hell is this?".Eddie pointed to a red stain on the floor
"Is that blood?!".Chris asked
"The door won't move ,it's almost like there's someone behind it".Bruce tried pushing the door
"Come on guys".Chris rallied the rest of them.
"I,2,3 push!".They strained to push the door
"Oh My God!!".Bruce exclaimed
"Eddie!!!".The rest shouted
They met him lying in a pool of blood, unconscious.
"is he even alive? Who could do this?".Julian knelt by Eddie's side
"Move,let me check his pulse".Joey placed two fingers on his neck "It's faint,get an ambulance!"
"He's lost so much blood!".Chris commented as he stared at the red floor
"Get me a clean towel,we gotta stop the bleeding".Joey ordered Bruce
He came back with the item and joey pressed it to the wound
"Called them?".Joey looked at Julian
"Yeah, they're on their way"
"Clay did this".Julian seethed
"Can't believe he'd pull something like this.That bastard!".Bruce said
"Eddie,stay with us man.Your mom just got you back".Joey grabbed his hand
"Do you guys think we should call his mom".Bruce said teary eyed
"Maybe when we get to the hospital".Julian replied
