Chapter 28

Alex.

08:30 '' Provisional Detention Center II Guarulhos '' Infirmary.'' Sao Paulo '' Brazil.

I let out a sigh and closed my eyes against the pain. 

''It hurts a lot. '' I bit my lip to hold back a sob. 

''Calm down, little guy; we are here with you. '' Little Mouth sat next to me and B on my other side.

''Those fucking bastards!! I hope the devil kills them! '' Kelly spoke very angrily. 

''Yes, they deserve it; their envy is crossing the line. '' Barbie spoke, also irritated. 

I let out a sigh and tried not to think about anything other than the pain. 

''We are here, cutie. '' Kelly spoke, and her words comforted me a little. 

''H-H-How… Did he know? '' I asked, opening my eyes. 

''I went to call him. '' I looked at the door, seeing Bel.

I hadn't even noticed he was here, too. 

''As you were bleeding a lot, you would definitely need a doctor; the only one who could do that was him. ''I nodded. 

''T-T-Thank you. '' I pressed a little hard and let out a groan of pain.

It really hurts. 

The door was opened again with brutality, and I see him entering. Behind him is a man I've never seen.

''Hello Alex, I'm the doctor of this ward; I'll take care of your injuries, okay? 

''Alright. ''He got closer, and B and Little Mouth got away from me, so he could take care of my wound. 

''I want you to carefully remove the cloth from your cheek. '' I agree.

I pulled carefully and let out a groan of pain when I felt the burning.

''This will need stitches, at most twenty. '' He said, placing his suitcase next to me. ''I'm going to give you anesthesia; is that okay? 

''Just do your work already, the fuck!! '' Diego shouted irritably. 

''Of course.

He took a syringe and put it in a small pot, pulling out the liquid. I see it was the anesthesia. 

''I'll have to apply it to your cheek. ''I closed my eyes tightly. 

I felt the sting near the wound and let out a loud moan of pain. 

''Calm down; soon the pain will go away, and I will be able to take care of you. '' I let out a sigh. 

''Doctor, he lost a lot of blood; the cut was very deep. '' B spoke to the doctor. 

''Yes, what is your blood type?  He looked at me.

''B negative. '' I spoke a little with difficulty. 

''We don't have that blood here; we only have O positive, and it can't hurt for B negative. 

''What type of blood can you donate for B-negative, doctor? Little Mouth asked. 

''O negative, AB positive, and O negative. '' He said, looking at the boys. 

''I have AB positive. '' Diego spoke with his arms crossed. 

''And I'm negative. '' Kelly spoke. 

''Well, I think AB positive is better. '' He said, looking at Diego. 

He walked over to me and sat next to me without saying a word. The doctor went to a cabinet, taking an empty blood bag and a tube for the blood to go down. ''He came back to us and took the cotton and applied it to the vein in Diego's arm, and then it pierced. 

''Please hold the bag. '' He handed it to Diego, who took it without saying anything.

I see the blood sliding down the tube and filling the bag. 

''Now let's give points. ''I had even forgotten about that; I think it's because I'm not feeling any pain because of the anesthesia.

He cleaned my face, and I am very grateful that I am not feeling that horrible burning pain. ''I closed my eyes, letting him clean my wound. When he stopped cleaning, I opened my eyes. I saw him take a needle and thread, and I ended up taking Diego's hand. 

I thought he was going to take his hand away, but no, he intertwined our fingers.

''I will try to be quick. ''I closed my eyes and only felt a few stings and nothing else.

Thank God for anesthesia. 

I continued with my hand intertwined with Diego and my eyes closed. 

''Ready. ''I opened my eyes. ''Now I'm going to apply some gases and a plaster to hold it down. You shouldn't get your face wet when you take a shower; you have to clean it every day to avoid infection.

'' Thanks. '' I said, and the boys ended up laughing lightly.

''Your face all anesthetized is too funny, little nigga. '' Little mouth said, and I tried to smile, and that made him laugh. 

The doctor took the needle out of Diego's arm and handed him a cotton ball, which he pressed into his arm. 

''Now lie down on the stretcher, Alex. ''Diego got off the stretcher, and I lay down.

He punctured the vein in my arm and placed the blood bag on the stick he had next to the stretcher.

''Once you receive the blood, you will be able to go back to your cell; don't try to exert yourself too much, talking too much, because it can open the stitches. ''I nodded. ''The only foods you can eat now are liquid things—soup, smoothies, milk, juice—you can even eat purée since you don't need to chew. 

Okay, I was cut off from eating good food. I hate those sons of bitches.

''T-Thank you, doctor. '' I thanked him, stuttering a little. 

''There's no need to be grateful; I just did my job.

Because of Diego, I'm sure. 

''Doctor, what are the things you have to do to clean his wound so it doesn't get infected? ''Kelly asked.

''When you went to clean it, you first had to wash it with serum, take a gauze pad and put some serum on it and clean it carefully, then apply a little rifocin to avoid inflammation, and then place the gauze pads again on his face with adhesive plasters. '' He explained it in great detail. 

''There, information acquired. ''Barbie played a little, and it made me smile slightly. 

The doctor went to the small closet and took out the things I would need. 

''Who is going to clean his wounds? '' asked. 

'' I go. '' I looked at Diego a little surprised. ''Give me this damn thing already. ''The doctor quickly handed things over to him. 

I let out a sigh.

''I will give you a medicine that will help with the pain and inflammation, ibuprofen. '' I nodded in agreement.

He went to a drawer and took out a pill pack and took out a pill, took a jug of water and poured it into the disposable cup, and came to me. 

''Can you just lift your head? 

''Y-Yes. 

I rested my elbow on the bed and lifted my head; he put the pill in my mouth and helped me take the medicine. 

''T-Thank you. 

''You're welcome; I'll give you a pill pack in case you need to take it. ''He went to get a pill pack and handed it to Diego. 

I let out a sigh and stared at the ceiling.

''Doctor, it’s over. Little Mouth spoke. 

I looked to the side and saw that the blood had in fact already run out; it was very quick. 

''Ready. ''He took the needle out of my arm. ''You can go back to your cell and get some rest. 

Diego handed the things to B and came to me; just like that, he picked me up. I laid my head on his shoulder, feeling his scent. ''He was carrying me out of the infirmary without saying anything. 

'' Sorry. '' Spoke out of nowhere. 

''H-How? '' He clicked his tongue.

''For hitting you and not protecting you. 

''N-No… You have to worry about that. ''I closed my eyes tiredly. 

I felt a kiss on my forehead, and I heard and saw nothing.
