I Read The News Today part 2
Let's see last time Aunt Mimi threw you into a wall. GASP. and threw a lamp at John. DOUBLE GASP. and George came. TRIPLE GASP.
I got dizzy on the second to last step and dropped the bags. George ran up to me and helped me sit down on the last step. George pushed my head in between my knees and sat with me. George’s dad had driven up by then and walked into the house. When he looked around the room he sighed looking at my brother and I. He picked up the bags sending a look at George who just shrugged and pointed at me and then John. Mr. Harrison cursed softly and took the bags out to the car. When Harold walked back in and knelt by John saying “Come on son it’s time to get up.” Harold said gently shaking John’s shoulder. John moaned and opened his eyes looking at George’s dad. “Son do you know your name?” John nodded his head, Harold (Georges dad) persisted “Do you know where you are?” John again shook his head yes. Harold had just one more question to ask the youth on the floor. “John, son, do you remember what happened?” and Harold held his breath as John looked confused for a moment and then shook his head no. Harold sighed and helped John off of the floor and onto the couch. Harold walked over to the kitchen and found a glass and filled it with water. Turning off the tap he came face to face with Mimi. “Mr. Harrison what a pleasure to see you here, but may I ask why you are in my house?” Mimi asked sweetly and glaring at him “I’m here to take care of and pick up John and Jeni. He has a concussion that you cause AND his head is bleeding. I don’t know about Jeni cause she fainted on the stairs do I need to call the police, because my boy George saw the whole thing.” Harold added raising his eyebrows at Mimi. Mimi huffed at Harold and turned away and stalked out of the kitchen. Harold sighed and found another glass and filled it full of water. Walking out of the kitchen he walked over to George and handed him a glass and said softly “Have her drink that when she’s able, it will help with how dizzy she is.” He said before turning and walking over to John. Harold helped the pale boy into a sitting position and held the glass up to his lips and encouraged him to drink. Harold sighed and looked over to his son to see him whispering into Jeni’s ear and held the glass to the girls lips. George sat by me during my spell and gently rubbed circles on my back. Mr. Harrison walked by after a few minutes and I heard him mutter something about a glass of water, but I wasn’t listening because the roaring in my ears. George muttered in my ear a few minutes later “Jeni you feel better yet girl? Or are you still dizzy?” George asked with concerned “The room’s still spinning George, I don’t know why” I gasp out “I wasn’t even hit on the head George I just had the breath knocked out of me.” I muttered squished my head further between my knees. I didn’t need to look at George to see that he was even more worried, “Dad,” he called scared. Mr. Harrison walked over and knelt by me. “What is it son?” he asked worried.“Dad I’m worried about her, she’s still dizzy but she didn’t hit her head or anything, and she drank the water.” George said worried for his friend. Mr. Harrison stood up and grabbed the glass stating “I’m going to find some orange juice, or something she’s most likely in shock just sit with her for a few more minutes then we should be getting home. Your mom will be able to care for them,” Mr. Harrison said running to the kitchen and back with the glass full of orange juice. Wordlessly he handed it to George who immediately prodded Jeni to sit up and helped thepale girl sip at the juice. George put the glass down when it was empty and helped the girl into a standing position. Looking at her he asked “Girl are you feeling better yet?” and with a small smile she replied “Yes, ta George by the way for helping me,” she said as the two made their way to the car, with Mr. Harrison practically carrying John. “You don’t know how badly you scared me girl.” George muttered like he was saying that he had a third head “I just saw you getting all white and I knew something was wrong and I knew that I had to get you to sit downbefore you got hurt.” George explained getting into the back of the car and settling Jeni next to him while his father settled John on the other side of George. “George, son, John has a concussion so do not let him fall asleep and there are bags back there in case he gets sick, the same for Jeni. Although she doesn’t have a concussion she may feel sick soon because of all the moving that is going on. And the fact that the poor girl is in shock doesn’t help a bit. Now,” Harold instructed his youngest son. “There is a cloth with the bags. I want you to put it on his head and apply pressure, he’s bleeding. And son, I know you get sick at the sight of blood but please wait until we get home.” Harold said peering into the back seat of the car and at his son. “Ta dad I got it,” George said smiling as I put my head on his shoulder. Harold smiled slightly to himself and turned around in his seat.
