“What do you mean, ‘bad knee’?” Finn asked, looking at Aurthur and Elliot.
-
MJ grabbed Elliot’s shoulders, stopping him from getting up. “He runs track and he’s been having issues with this knee for like, months now.” “Didn’t you dislocate it, like, three weeks before camp?” Arthur asked, furrowing his brows. “Oh my God, you guys are overreacting- I’ll grab my knee brace from the cabin if you really think it’s that big of a deal-“ Elliot replied, trying to hide how he was gritting his teeth.
-
“That doesn’t sound good,” Finn said, watching as Connor cleaned off the large scrape and put a bandaid on Elliot’s knee. “Yeah, and I think you should sit and rest for a bit- Unless you think you can walk fine,” Connor said, packing up the first aid kit.
-
“I can walk fine, I’ve dealt with worse,” Elliot said quietly, moving his untouched leg under him and pushing himself to his feet. “Then put pressure on it,” MJ said, raising an eyebrow and standing up with him. Elliot glared at MJ for a moment before leaning a little on the other leg. It only took a few seconds for Elliot to swear under his breath and lift all of his weight off of it. “There’s my point, now c’mon, let’s go get your leg brace,” MJ said, moving under Elliot’s arm and supporting him as they turned to head back to the cabin.
-
Connor walked over to Elliot’s other side, helping MJ lead him back to the cabin. “Maybe if he wasn’t screwing around, he wouldn’t have hurt himself,” Finn said bluntly. “f---- I said that out loud, didn’t I…”
-
Elliot turned his head a little to glare at Finn. “Yeah- maybe I was just having fun.” “Hey, calm down, he didn’t mean it,” MJ said, elbowing Elliot’s side, who grumbled something as they came up to the cabin. They sat him down on the front steps. “Where is it?” “The left pocket in my duffel bag,” Elliot replied to MJ, looking over at him. “Gotcha,” MJ said, heading into the cabin.
-
Finn flushed red, looking down at the ground. “Sorry,” he mumbled, exhaling shakily. Me and my big f---in’ mouth…
-
“Hey, it’s okay, Elliot’s just upset,” Arthur whispered to Finn, staying behind a little with him.
MJ walked out with the brace a few minutes later, wrapping it tightly around Elliot’s knee like he had done several times before. “That good?” “Yeah, thanks man.” -
Finn nodded and turned, walking off in the direction of the lake as his mind swirled with anxious thoughts. “Finn, wait up!” Connor called before looking back at Elliot. “You all good to walk?”
-
“Nah, but MJ’s got me,” Elliot said, pushing himself to his feet and slinging his arm over MJ’s shoulders, who started to walk slowly with him. Arthur rushed after Finn, quickly catching up with him. “Hey, it really isn’t your fault, okay? Elliot just gets like this sometimes, he doesn’t mean it-“
-
“But I always do this s---,” Finn said, anger seeping into his voice and his hands shaking. “I- I just don’t know when to f---ing shut up, do I…”
-
“Hey, hey, breathe,” Arthur said softly. “That/ that may be true, but like, you very rarely actually mean to say the stuff that does hurt people.”
(i might leave in a second 😔
tired) -
(aww, okie
gn!)
“But I still f---ing say it-“ Finn said, exhaling shakily. He brought his hands up to his head, gripping his hair in his hands as he tried to calm his breathing. -
“Hey, take a breath, please,” Arthur said quietly. “No one of actually mad at you, okay?”
-
“I’m mad at me-“ Finn let go of his hair, exhaling softly. “Sorry, I- I’m sorry, I just-“ He kept walking towards the lake, soon arriving. He walked over to one of the chairs, sitting down and curling into a ball. “What’s the matter with Finn?” Connor asked Aurthur, walking over to his side.
