Chapter two

Above is Jackson!

Jackson's P.O.V

     I was called on the phone at 5:00am in the morning.
Blue called me. Screaming and talking. Things I could not understand.
"Please. Get Rye too. Hurry. We need you. There was a gun. Shot. Running." He spoke so fast.
"Blue." Talking,"Blue!" He stopped.
"I-I'm. P-please. N-need. Help please!"
"What happened?" I asked.
"My dad shot my mom, she's dead. Sky and I. We ran away. I was shot. The wound opened again. It hurts! Help. Please."
"I-I-I-"
"Please."
"Sneak out?"
"Yes."
"I'm not Rye."
"Please Jackson."
"Okay."
I hung up and rubbed my eyes. Jumping, the phone rang again.
"Yea?" I asked.
"We're in our place." He replied.
"Okay." I sighed and hung up again. I stood up and walked over to my chest.
Opening it I grabbed my red shirt.
Throwing it over my bare chest I felt the warmth engulf me. Then everything really hit me.
My friend was shot. They are running away. They need help. I hurriedly put the rest of my clothing on and brushed my teeth.

Backpack mod

I threw on my backpack and hurried to the front door. My hair a mess, I threw my hat on.
I hesitated. My parents would worry. I lived in the village, it was an easy place to get lost in.
I grabbed a piece of paper and scribbled on words.

Dear Parents,

My friends are in trouble. We will be in our place. Please do not join us.

With Love,
- Jackson

Cellphone mod

I grabbed a phone and dialed Ryes number. It rang four times before he picked up.
Sleepily he replied,"Hello?"
"Rye, it's Jackson. Blue was shot and they need help." I said slower than Blue had talked with me.
"Oh crud!" I heard shuffling and tons of thuds.
"We're meeting at our place, could you be there in like 15 minuets?" I asked.
I heard muffles then a small yes.
"Good." I hung up and made sure I had everything I needed in my backpack.
      Closing the door I turned. I looked down the 'sidewalk' that went through the village. The strip wasn't full of many villagers but some.
I went to the back of my house.
I held the leash to my horse Snow in my hands. I thought about taking her. But decided not to.
What was I doing? I needed to get my friends right now!
I sped walk down the strip. Making it so no one could question me. As I left the village fully I started running. The summer sky made me feel better, but I didn't stop. I reached the edge of the forest.
Taking a hesitated breath I stepped in. I felt alive. Welcome to where I was. This was my forest. I know every route. Every corner.
I know this forest.
Suddenly a burst of energy jolt threw me and I started running. Dodging trees knowing where they were. My easy left turn I always took. Past the old broken sign that said "No Trespassing."

Taking his right he saw there place.
A stream that led to an ocean. A dock with the boat the four of them built together. They built the boat, but didn't know where any water was.
        The tree house Ryes father helped them build. Then, Blue and Sky.
Blue lay on his back. A shirt or something wrapped around his upper arm. Sky was applying pressure to his wound.

      She noticed me and called me over. I hurried to her and opened my pack.
Pulling out the first aid kit she scrambled for her pack. As I opened the kit I pulled out the tweezers in them.
       I told Blue to stay still and look away. He turned to face Sky. She held a picture of the four of us. He smiled and then winced as I inserted them. Pulling out a part of the bullet.
"That's all, for now." I soothed. He heaved a loud sigh.
At that moment Rye came around the corner. Uh-oh. I mean we're pals and he's my friend. But him and Sky had an affair dealing with dating. It didn't go well. So he tried to act like the jockey guy and flirt with her all the time. Wherever I go with the two I end up having to break them up.
But I love both of them to death. They're my best friends. Also my only friends...
"Hey baby girl. Whatcha got there?" He asked Sky. I stood up immediately.
"Rye let's not do this here, Blue," I motioned to him,"has been shot." I said.
Turning back around I was shoved. I barely missed stepping on Blue as I hit the ground.
"You need to shut your mouth!" Rye shouted. I flinched. I stared at him. Pain filled my eyes. He was emotionless. Just staring back at me. He scanned the three of us.
       "Why?" Blue coughed.
Rye looked at Sky,"her." Sky looked confused. "You hurt me."
"My father hurt Blue!" She shouted back.
"I don'-" he stopped himself. Turning around he stormed off.
Stopping at a tree about 30 feet away he sat.
After a few moments of silence I stood. Brushed myself off. Then went back to my first aid.
Pulling out rags I applied one harshly against Blue, making him wince.
"Shh. It needs to soak the blood." I said. He nodded keeping his eyes shut tight. I dabbed it and when most of the blood was gone I reached back for a wet rag. I placed it down and wiped.
The wound was actually really small. Really about only 1 inch. But the shards of the bullet was what I needed to get.
I reached back in the kit and grabbed tweezers.
Turning Blue looked. His eyes widened.
"Look." Sky said tapping his unhurt shoulder. He turned to her, she held a new picture. A picture of her family. Without an abusive father.
I turned back to my work and started.
       I inserted it. He screamed and wriggled.
"Blue. Blue look." Sky said. He closed his eyes so tight. "Blue!" She grabbed his hand and squeezed it. I tapped something. Opening the tweezers I felt it. Gripping it in between the tweezers I pulled it out. Blue yelled and all of sudden he stopped. I looked up. He was laying. Eyes closed peacefully. Sky looked at me.
"Is he...?" She asked her eyes were wide with fear.
"No. No," I said,"he passed out from the pain."
She sighed and I went back to work. Pulling the shard out fully I estimated to myself there was about four pieces. The shard was large so it hasn't disintegrated fully.
I placed the shard to the side, my hand shaking. I heard shuffling behind me but I didn't look up.
      Inserting it again I had to move it around more. I grabbed the shard and removed it. This one was about a few centimeters larger than the last. I placed the bloody piece to side. I grabbed the rag again and wiped the blood away. His shirt was pushed in.         Sky had already removed his hoodie but the shirt was still there. I sat him up as blood dropped from the wound. I lifted his arms up unsteadily.
There was more shuffling and then Rye showed up in my view and he grabbed Blue's wrists.
     I looked at him but he didn't say anything. I pulled off his shirt. Letting his 8-pack show. I bet if Blue really tried he could have beaten his father. But I don't think he'd want to. Rye helped lay him back down and I started again.
          Blue woke in the midst of it and Rye had to stop him from wriggling. Blue's breathing was heavy and quick. He passed out again. I pulled out the third shard.
There's at least one more.
     I reached in the last time and moved it around. It took longer to get this one but I found it. I pulled it out. It was the nose of the bullet. The rest of the bullet.

( I just remembered minecraft does not have guns. I will says it's a mod XD )

I pressed the dry rag to Blue's wound and applied pressure again.
A few minuets passed before the bleeding stopped. I wiped it away with the wet rag and put a bandage around his chest.
         A little bit of blood seeped through but that was it.
Blue woke and blinked.
"What happened?" He said.
"You were shot." I replied. He nodded and sat up a bit to look at the bandages.
He laid back down with a sigh and then said,"Thank you Jackson." He laid fully down and fell to sleep.
          I looked to my right and it was sundown.
"Crud!" I said.
"What's the matter?" Sky asked.
"I've been here for almost a day! My parents will worry."
            I said starting to pack up. A hand touched my arm. I looked at it, and followed the arm up to see Sky's face.
"Please Jackson. Stay." She said. Pain filled her eyes.
"Sky-" I said.
"Please." She asked.
I sighed,"okay Sky."
         "I'll stay." I almost jumped. I totally forgot Rye was here. "I'll help set up a camp." He opened his bag and pulled out a stick,"I'll keep first watch too." I don't know what a stick would do, but I didn't say anything.
          Sky and I nodded to him and picked up Blue carefully.
"Won't he be cold?" Sky asked after we set him down. I nodded and grabbed his hoodie. It had a hole in it.
Sky helped me put his hoodie on and then we laid him back down on a tree.
Sky sat down next to Blue and dozed off. I turned around. I needed to leave. I started to pack up.
"Where are you going?" Rye asked.
"I have to go home,"I said,"my paren-"
"Jackson. You can't leave them. They are our friends!" He shouted a bit.
I looked at my bag, then to Sky and Blue.
"You're right Rye." I said looking down,"I'm sorry."
There was no reply so I stood up and walked to a tree a few feet away from Sky and Blue.

I drifted off into the nights arms.
