Chapter 137
Scott kept Alex's head as close to his chest as possible, but in doing so he slammed his elbow into the ground, as well as any part of Alex's body that he couldn't catch. Scott continued to hold his head, but sat up a little so he could look at him and estimate the damage. "Shit, I'm sorry. Are you okay?" Alex smiled a little. "I think so. But I..." He tried to sit up a little, but he cringed and shook his head. "Ow.." Scott stood up, although his knees were bleeding, and held one hand out for Alex. Alex gasped at the sight. He pointed at Scott's arm, the one he'd used to save Alex's head. When Scott looked down, he first noticed that he couldn't move his hand very well. Scott was confused as to what Alex was staring at, until he saw the blood soaking through his shirt. And when he lifted his shirt a little to see, it was his hip that was bleeding, mainly the skin that covered his hip bone.
Scott shook his head at it, and then reached his other hand out for Alex. When Alex stood up, he could hear Avi shouting for the both of them. Scott let Alex put an arm over his shoulders so that he could help Alex walk back towards Avi. Every step he took, made Alex whimper a little at the pain in his back. Scott shook his head as they walked back. "God, Alex I'm so sorry." "It was my fault for hiding. I shouldn't have run off. I'm sorry." Scott finally shook his head and, regardless of his pain, he lifted Alex off of his feet to carry him back to Avi. Scott made it over to the car, where the others were all gathered. Scott was biting his lip so he wouldn't cry out from the pain in his hand. Todrick almost had a heart attack at Alex's appearance. "What happened to you?!" Scott set him down in the back of the car, where they'd put the luggage. "It was all my fault. I bumped right into him and took him down to the ground. He hurt his back." Todrick nodded, pulling Alex's shirt off to see what his back looked like. "But not his neck or his head?" Alex pointed to Scott. "No. But that's why his hand is broken." Kevin walked over quickly. "It isn't broken." He carefully held Scott's hand in his own, and touched a few of the bones he was worried about. "You caught him with the palmar aponeurosis so the trauma would've occurred on the opisthenar and--" Scott held up his other hand. "Once more for those of us who haven't read the dictionary cover to cover."
