Rescue me

Eddie P.O.V 

I can't believe what he just said to me. I go through my hair and start to walk up and down. He's taking pills again. For how long? For how long?? 

Eddie: how long T.K? 

T.K: a few weeks...Eddie I know it's wrong but, but I was stressed and I didn't know what to do 

Eddie: you know that they will find out right? It doesn't matter if we go yet or on Friday. 

T.K: yes it does...i took two kind of pills...yesterday one and today one...if we wait until Friday I can say that I took something at a party last weekend and that I don't take it normally. Please Eddie I don't want to get in trouble

Eddie: don't want to get in trouble *laughs nervously* T.K you are already in trouble. Are you an addict? T.K please be honest with me. 

T.K: no...I mean...maybe...I don't know...I will stop with it. Just do me this favor and help me. I can't go home. My dad will come home tomorrow morning and he will send me to the hospital directly and he will not leave my side and then he will find out...I will go to the hospital....on Friday...I'll call my dad after the check-ups. I promise. 

Eddie: *sighs and walks up and down again* how do you think this will work? What are we going to tell my parents? What are we going to tell Carlos and Buck? What are we going to tell the teachers? How will you go to school? You can't walk. 

T.K: *sighs* could you please stop walking up and down? It drives me crazy. I don't know Eddie okay...i have absolutely no idea...will you help me? 

Eddie: yes. *sighs* T.K I want you to promise me something. We will drive to your house now. Get you some stuff. You will show me all your pills, cigarettes. Everything. I will throw it away. We will throw it away. I will tell my parents that your dad has to work all week and that you don't want to be alone and that I will help you studying. Can Jack help you to get through the day? I mean to help you walk. 

T.K: yes...thank you...really you want to throw it all away? *looks at him* 

Eddie: T.K *serious* yes we will throw all away. Another promise you need to give me. You can take painkillers against it but I decide how much. Understand?

T.K: okay. Can we go now? 

Eddie: sure *smiles softly* put your arm around my shoulders. 

I can't believe that I'm doing this for real. T.K sits down in the backseat so he can put his leg on the seats. We drive to his house and get some stuff. He hands me all his pills and cigarettes. It's a lot...I sigh and we flush it down the toilet. It's the best. I grab T.Ks bag and we drive to my house. 

Eddie: okay okay slowly *helps T.K to sit down at his bed* okay I'll get us something to drink and after that we will think about how we continue. 

I go downstairs and grab some painkillers and put them in my pocket. 

Helena: Hola mi hijo *smiles and kisses his head* everything okay? 

Eddie: yeah thanks mom *smiles* mom? 

Helena: yeah? 

Eddie: T.K is staying for a few days. Is that okay? His dad needs to work and I want to help him study 

Helena: okay *smiles* but I want you guys to go to bed early. Can I talk to Mr.Strand about it? 

Eddie: no no, he's at work and he has a lot of work to do. Thanks mom *kisses her cheek* what's for dinner today? 

Helena: your dad and i are going out. I'll give you some money to order food. If you need anything text me. 

Eddie: I will thank you mom 

I wait until she's gone. I grab some ice and go back upstairs. 

Eddie: here some ice. Show me your knee. Looks pretty bad *sighs* I have painkillers, I will give you one now. They are not dosed very high. Now lets talk about how we continue. 

T.K. P.O.V 

I'm so glad that Eddie is going to help me. I wouldn't know what to do without him. My knee hurts pretty bad. I can't move it. I want the pain to stop. I want revenge. Kyle did this on purpose. Just because of him I'm in this situation....okay it's my fault too...I sigh and put some ice on my knee. I get a message from Carlos.

T.K: thank god Carlos needs to study tonight...so I have enough time to think of an excuse. *sighs* what am I going to tell him? 

Eddie: the truth *looks at him* T.K you need to be honest with him. Tell him to come over. 

T.K: you sure? He needs to study 

Eddie: call him. Ask him to come over for just an hour. 

T.K: *sighs and calls Carlos* hey

Carlos: hey. Everything okay? Why are you calling? 

T.K: can you come over to Eddies house? I need to tell you something...

Carlos: i really need to study. Can you tell me on the phone? 

T.K: no please come here. Just for an hour. 

Carlos: okay I'm on my way. *hangs up* 

T.K: okay what about Buck? Do I need to tell him. 

Eddie: I don't know. I would say no because at the moment he's not really „there" *laughs* he has his own problems. But if you don't Tell him he will be mad because everyone except him knew. 

T.K: how is it going with Taylor?

Eddie: pretty bad. She's ignoring him all the time. I mean he made a mistake and I understand that she's hurt but ignoring him isn't the best way. I don't know. Buck really hurt her. 

T.K: yeah he did. Does he see his mistake? 

Eddie: yeah but he said that he was drunk so it was not that bad. I don't know. Sometimes buck is weird *laughs* 

T.K: yeah *laughs* 

After some time Carlos arrives. He comes upstairs with Eddie. 

Carlos: so here I am. What happened? *smiles and sits down on the bed, puts his hand on T.K's leg* 

T.K: ahh, please don't do That... *softly takes Carlos hand* 

Carlos: I'm sorry I didn't want to hurt you...what's wrong? *looks at him worried* 

T.K: i had an accident im school today. I twisted my knee...it feels like something ripped. 

Carlos: what did the doctor say? You visited a doctor right? 

T.K: no not yet...I will go on Friday...

Carlos: T.K *looks at him worried* why? 

T.K: because...because...

I can't look into his eyes....

Carlos: hey look at me *takes his hand* you can tell me everything 

T.K: i can't look into your eyes...I promised you something and I broke it...I broke it a few weeks ago and I'm sorry *tears roll over his face* I was so stressed and depressed because school doesn't work out and...and...Eddie threw everything away...it's gone...I just can't go to the hospital yet...it hurts so much but I can't go...they will ask questions and my dad will find out and *wipes away his tears*

Carlos: hey hey hey look at me *takes his face into his hands* it's okay. I know that it's hard. You need help. We will get you some help. But right now we will help you. Eddie and I. It's good that Eddie threw everything away. Now we will drive to the hospital. All together. I have an idea what we can tell the doctors. Come on. *kisses T.K* you can't wait until Friday. You're in pain. I can see that. Now come on *kisses his head* 

T.K: okay *sobs* 

Eddie carries me downstairs into his car. Carlos sits with me in the back and is holding my leg. Some tears roll over my face but I wipe them away. I'm scared about the hospital visit...
