Chapter 40
Carlos P.O.V
What is happening here? This can't be real...he's...he's...gosh T.K come on wake up...wake up baby...Owen is still doing the resuscitation...I can't stop crying...
Owen: he's in cardiac arrest
He grabs an injection from Tommy and injects it into his thigh.
Tommy: we need to be careful with his head. I think he fell down the stairs
Owen: come on T.K. Come on
Carlos: *comes closer* come on babe *sobs*
T.K's eyes suddenly open and he gasps. Then he turns to the side and throws up.
T.K: *breathes heavily* babe babe *cries softly and grabs Carlos hoodie*
Carlos: it's okay. I'm here. It's okay *hugs him tight and kisses his head*
Owen: thank god *sighs*
T.K: I'm so sorry *cries and hides his face*
Carlos: it's okay. It's okay *holds him tight*
Tommy: that was close *sighs* T.K, hey, can we Check you out?
T.K: only if he goes *sobs and holds Carlos Hoodie tight*
Owen: T.K come on, does our fight matter now?
T.K: please Tommy...i want him to leave *whispers*
Tommy: Captain Strand please
Owen: this is my house *laughs annoyed*
Tommy: just give us the chance to check on him.
Owen: unbelievable *leaves the house*
Tommy: okay can we check on you now? You know what happened?
T.K: kind of *sobs* I wanted to go down and then...
Carlos: T.K I'm so sorry this is all my fault *wipes away some tears*
T.K: no it's not...it's...
Tommy: lets talk about that later. T.K is anything hurting? Are you able to move everything?
T.K: my shoulder hurts but it's okay, I guess *still holds Carlos hoodie*
Tommy: only 5 minutes T.K okay? We will check on you and after that you can go back to Carlos.
T.K: no it's fine *sobs* I'm okay...I guess...
Tommy: okay. Put some ice on your shoulder and if it doesn't get better call me okay? You should think about getting help.
I hold T.K tight. He's shivering. I kiss his head and hold him.
T.K. P.O.V
When I open my eyes again I see Tommy, Nancy, my dad and Carlos. Oh my gosh he's here. I turn to the side and throw up. I hate this....okay it's my own fault...I sit up and hide my face in Carlos hoodie. I want my dad to leave. I don't want to see him...
My shoulder is hurting but I don't care right now. I don't want to be touched or anything else. Just want to be in Carlos arms. Didn't think he would be here. Finally Tommy gets up and leaves with Nancy. Carlos rubs over my back. I can hear my dad talking to Tommy outside of the house.
Owen: you won't let Tommy check on you? You nearly died
T.K: *hides his face*
Owen: come on you're 19. talk to me. You're not a child.
Carlos: Captain Strand maybe
Owen: I'm talking to my son Carlos!
Judd: *comes inside* Captain. Come on. Lets go. Our work is done here
Owen: I'll not go before he talked to me.
Judd: give him some time. Come on let's go
Owen: he just overdosed. That's nothing I can accept without talking.
Judd: you can talk tomorrow. Lets go now Captain. I think he needs some time now
Finally he leaves. When he's gone I start crying again. I hide my face.
Carlos: it's okay babe. It's okay.
T.K: I'm so sorry *cries* I was...it's...
Carlos: you don't have to explain it to me. Humans make mistakes. I'm just glad that you're alive *kisses his head* I was so scared
T.K: I'm sorry *sobs*
Carlos: you wanna cuddle up in bed? Come on. Get up. I'll quickly clean the floor.
T.K: no you don't have to I'll *sobs*
Carlos: no I'll clean up
He walks into the kitchen and comes back with a towel and some ice.
Carlos: here put it on your shoulder. *cleans up the floor*
T.K: thanks *sobs* babe...
Carlos: yeah? *comes back from the kitchen*
T.K: can you forgive me?...
Carlos: of course *kisses him* always. *looks at his phone* oh wait a minute. *picks up* hey Buck, yeah I found him, yeah he's *sighs* he's okay. That's all what matters now. We talk tomorrow at school okay? Okay bye *hangs up*
T.K: thanks for not telling him *sobs*
Carlos: come on let's go to bed *reaches out for his hand*
T.K: *slowly gets up* guess it's more than my shoulder...my ankle hurts...
Carlos: I'll carry you *picks him up*
T.K: no I'm...too heavy...
Carlos: doesn't matter *puts him down on the bed* okay so I'll get another pack of ice and then we can cuddle
I feel so bad about everything....Carlos comes back and I just look at him.
Carlos: you okay? Can I do something for you? Food? Water?
T.K: no *whispers* it's... *rubs over his shoulder* can I....can I move in with you? I...I know it's...
Carlos: of course you can *sits down next to him and grabs his hand*
T.K: really?...isn't that....too much to ask?...
Carlos: no. But I have some conditions. Therapy and we will talk to the principal and tell him everything. Probably you will be suspended but hopefully you can finish school. We will stay home a few days until I'm good again. I'll take care of you. So you wanna pack some stuff and go to my place or stay here?
T.K: your Place...please
He grabs a bag and packs my stuff into it. I slowly go downstairs with him and get into his car.
Carlos: you sure you don't want to get checked out?
T.K: yeah *sobs* I just...don't want to be touched right now...except for you...
Carlos: what's the thing with your dad? Am I allowed to ask?
T.K: don't want to explain it...not yet... *sighs*
Carlos: it's fine *grabs his hand* I'll put a bandage on your ankle later.
T.K: Carlos...
Carlos: hm? *looks at him*
T.K: you don't have to do...all of this...
Carlos: why not? I'm just taking care of my boyfriend. If anyone asks I'll just tell them you fell down the stairs. It doesn't matter why
T.K: I'm just tired *sighs and lays his head against the window*
Carlos: we are almost there. *sees a message on his phone* it's your dad. He's asking if you're okay
T.K: just don't answer him...it's not important
Carlos: he seems worried maybe
T.K: just don't! Please
I don't want my dad to know. I'm done. Done with him.
T.K: sorry...I'm..
Carlos: it's fine
I sigh. At home he puts a bandage on my ankle before putting ice on it. He cuddles up behind me and kisses my cheek. I hold his hand while I fall asleep. I know he's worried About me...
