"What the hell is this", I heard him ask.

What is he asking about? I don't know and I didn't care.

"I asked you what the hell is this? Why the hell is there blood", He was raising his voice.

Chapter 19: Do not create any more problems

Blood?

What is he talking about? I opened my eyes to see what the heck is he talking about.

I looked at him confused. He was staring at my feet.

Then I saw it. Blood was coming out of my feet.

I straightened my leg. I had felt some pain on my feet but I  ignored it.

Now when he said about that, my feet was hurting.

I bent forward and turned my foot to check what caused it.

Glass pieces. I may have stepped on them.

My foot was coloured red. It looked bloody

It was painful. The blood was coming out. I didn't know what to do.

"I asked you, how did this happen?", James asked even angrily.

"I don't know", I whispered.

I didn't realise that blood was coming out from my feet until he said that.

"Nice. Why do you make things hard huh?, Now Do I have to clean up your wound".

He stood up cursing under his breath. He could have helped me with this.

He went and opened the door.

"Is anyone of you there", He shouted.

Oh! He was going to help me.

"Yes sir", I heard the lady's voice.

"She got glass in her feet. Clean the wound so bring the things for it", he said

"Will bring them now sir".

A few minutes passed. The lady entered the room and carefully walked towards me with a safety kit. She had worn gloves. She came and sat near me.

She places a tissue paper near her.

She gently takes my foot in her hand and carefully look for the glass shards.

Take it fast, It's paining!

I wanted to shout at her. But I didn't want anyone to see my pain.

I have no idea how I did not notice this?  How did I bear this pain?

It seems that I was so drowned in my fear that I failed to see the pain I am going through now.

"Don't worry dear. I can take these out. Luckily they haven't gone too deep, But this will hurt", She said giving me a kind smile.

She always treats me so nicely but I behave with her so rudely. I feel bad now. She carefully started to put the glass shards.

"Ow", I cried as she tried to do it and pulled my leg away.

"Dear I did not get them", she said.

What? That hurt a lot and she didn't even pull it out.

"It is paining", I shouted.

She tried to pull back my leg towards her to take the glass shards out.

"It will pain but don't act like a child. Stay calm so that I can clean this up", she said.

She again tried to take out the glass shards

She said they weren't too deep then why can't she take them out quickly. It did hurt a lot.

"Got one", she happily said "now many more to go".

Many more?

"How many are there?", I half-shouted.

"It's hard to tell dear. This is covered  in blood and seems like you stepped in quite a few pieces. I don't know how you bore the pain", she said trying to pull other shards.

Wonderful, just wonderful.

It hurt so badly. Tears were stinging my eyes.

I pulled back my leg

"It hurts so bad, Can you do it later?", I asked softly.

"Oh come on!", James shouted.

Oh! He was standing there?

He was standing near the door. He rakes his fingers through his frustration.

"I can't deal with this childishness", saying that he stormed towards me.

"Give me the damn gloves", He shouted at the poor lady.

"I have another pair sir", saying that she quickly took another pair of gloves from her pocket and handed it to him.

He quickly put them and harshly pulled my leg.

"Hey".

He ignored me

He stared at my feet for a minute. Then he started taking out the glass shards.

"Hey that hurts", I shout. I try to pull my leg back but he had a stronghold on my leg. His hold tightened.

"Just keep quiet", he said.

That lady was careful not to hurt me but it still hurt. He did not care if it was hurting me or not.

A tear fell.

This was hurting badly but I don't think he will listen.

He doesn't care if I am in pain or not.

He pulled out the glass shards quickly and painfully. I tried to pull back my leg but his hold only tightened. Tears fell but I quickly wiped it, I didn't want him to see it. He took my other foot and started pulling out the pieces.

"Can you just do it less painfully", I asked angrily.

He ignored me.

"Done", He said.

Thank God!

"Now clean this up", he said looking at the lady.

He stood up, removed the gloves and threw them on the floor and looked at me.

"Do not create any more problems.", He said in a deep voice.

I glared at him.

"I don't why I stayed here to see this childishness", I heard him mutter.

He left the room.

I hate him.

I looked at the lady. She gave me a sympathetic smile.

She came and sat near me. She took my foot and gently cleaned the blood. She took out an ointment from the bag and gently applied it to my foot..

I winced. It hurt but she was doing it gently.

She bandaged my foot.

"It may hurt while you walk so be careful. I will help you, don't worry", she said.

She closed the bag and stood up. She was about to leave the room.

"Hey wait!", I called out to her.

She turned and looked at me confused.

"Yes mam?", she asked.

"You have been so nice to me unlike some others but I acted badly with you. I am sorry. What is your name?", I asked.

"Oh dear, that's okay. My name is Claire. I didn't feel bad seeing your behaviour as I know you are going through some stuff. I don't know if it matters but I like you. You seem to be a good kid", she said

That comment made me smile.

"Glad I could bring a smile on your face", she said smiling brightly.

Then her smile changed into a sad one.

"I am sorry that I could not help you in any way", she said.

I wish she could.

There was an uncomfortable silence for a moment. She stared at me with a sad smile.

" I will be back to clean the room", saying that she left locking the door.
