next chapter, unfortunately because i'm uploading these at the same time i don't have many ramblings to enjoy, so instead just dive right in and feel free to ignore this
"that is enough!, i don't know what has gotten into you students, you four, my office, Ty take Mr Martinez to the nurses office, thankyou" the principal's booming voice scattered most of the people in the hallway, one name had cut through the groggy haze that was settling over Deuce, Ty.
before Deuce could object he felt a gentle pair of hands lifting him off the ground, his ribs flared with pain but he stifled the cry he wanted to let out. after navigating the twists and turns of the school in silence, Deuce found himself in the nurses office, after the kindly nurse fussed around him for a few minutes she left to call his parents, leaving deuce alone in the room with Ty.
"come on Ty, i know you're just waiting to say i told you so" Deuce's words came out more harsh than he intended
"fine, i told you so" Ty's voice didn't give anything away, it was calm and devoid of emotion
despite the protests from his ribs Deuce turned to face Ty
"Ty...I'm sorry OK, you were right"
seeing his friend battered and bruised had worn away a lot of Ty's anger, he let out a sigh, and then let a flicker of a smile cross his face
"i know things are kinda confused between us Deuce, but you gotta know i'm always looking out for you, we're friends after all" Ty moved his friend around so he wasn't straining his ribs, and sat down opposite
"still i wish it hadn't cost me a couple of broken ribs to realise it"
deuce took the opportunity to look down at his bare chest and wished he hadn't, there was a dark bruise spreading across his left side, he didn't even want to know what the rest of him looked like
"come on jackie chan, this should make you feel better" Ty picked out an ice pack and placed it gently against Deuce's ribs
Deuce let out a hiss of pain, but then the cool feeling spread across his side and numbed the pain, he allowed himself to relax"
"thanks Ty, and why am i jackie chan" Deuce's voice had a hint of laughter in it, and Ty could see a smile tugging at the corner of his friends mouth
"thats easy, you're short, but not half bad in a fight" Ty's voice was full of humour and Deuce couldn't help but smile
"are you calling me short Ty" deuce didn't consider himself to be that short, although Ty was a little bit taller
"no, well yes, but not in a bad way, you're just the right size for me"
they looked each other in the eyes, Ty's were full of concern and laced with that humorous spark that was always there, Deuce's eyes were full of acceptance and comfort
"yeah maybe i am, look Ty i know i'm not the best at this stuff, and i'm sorry for what i said, you were just trying to help me and i understand that now" deuce wasn't filled with his usual confidence, but he was sincere in everything he was saying
"yeah there's that, and maybe i was trying get into your pants" Ty couldn't disguise the mischief in his eyes, and dodged out of the way of Deuce's playful kick
"so where do you want to go from here" Ty's question seemed innocent, but Deuce couldn't help but play with him just a little bit
"well from here i want to go home and lay on my bed, and pass out until my ribs stop hurting, care to join me" Deuce mimicked Ty's trademark grin
"sounds good" wasting no time Ty leaned in and captured Deuce's lips in a gentle kiss
"no, no, no gentleman, there will be none of that, at least not until Mr Martinez's ribs have healed up" the Nurse had returned at just the wrong moment and they both broke apart blushing
"alright i've called your home although i didn't get much response, is there someone else who can take you up to the hospital" Deuce's head dropped at the Nurse's words of course his parents hadn't responded
ty could see his friends pain and realised what must have happened so decided to take charge
"yeah you can call my mum, Mrs Blue, she'll take us up to the hospital" nodding her understanding the Nurse left to call Ty's mum "are you alright man"
deuce didn't trust his voice so he just nodded
"well listen deuce, i'm sorry as well, i didn't mean for everything to happen the way it did, you know with your parents finding out and all, once you're feeling up to it we can go talk to them, maybe hearing it from both of us will help them understand"
Mrs Blue arrived some time later, she took them both to the hospital and after a few examinations from the doctor Deuce was allowed to leave
"hey mum, can Deuce stay with us for a while"
Ty had explained the situation to his mum, she nodded from the drivers seat
"thanks"
Ty squeezed his friends hand
"no problem, and tomorrow we can deal with stephanie, my sister has a plan"
Deuce couldn't help but laugh
"uh-oh, not a Rocky plan"
his joke made Ty and Mrs Blue laugh
"oh it's not just a Rocky plan, and it's not just a CeCe plan, it's a rocky and CeCe plan"
Deuce couldn't help wonder about the next day, it was certainly gonna be interesting
yay i think that's all the drama done, now i get to have a bit of sappy fun, hopefully now that my exams are done the next chapter should come a whole lot quicker, until then reviews are always appreciated
