"I-I just wanted to go home, Harper...I didn't do anything, I didn't want to do anything...I just..." Dixon sniveled a bit again, removing his hand from his side to wipe at his face instead.

Harper rubbed his arm gently. "I know, kiddo, I know. It's okay, it's NOT your fault. Kasper's a fucking asshole." she took him over to the bench. "Here, sit down." she said, moving him so he could.

Dixon sniffed and took his seat on the bench, looking up to the blurry figure that was Harper.

"C-Can we call Griffith?" He asked.

"Working on it now." Harper promised, practically tearing it off her backpack from her back and zipped it open, grabbing her first aid and her phone, calling Griffith. She propped the phone between her ear and shoulder and went through the first aid for some cotton to put against the split on Darcy's lip.

While Harper tended to Dixon's wounds, Griffith was across town tending to his bike's "wounds" so to speak.

"You piece of shit..." he grumbled to himself as he sat crouched down, looking with a flashlight at the inner-workings of the bike's engine.

He'd been out riding earlier when he heard the most unholy noise coming from the engine. He immediately took the bike to the shop and had been working on it over the last few hours, trying to get it to stop making that sound.

He had put the flashlight in his mouth, gripping it between his teeth, before proceeding to tinker some more when he heard his phone vibrating away in the toolbox beside him, where he'd ditched it. He glanced down and saw it was Harper, his stress instantaneously lessening when he saw it was her. He set down his tools and flashlight and reached over for his phone.

"Hey, chickadee." He greeted.

Harper frowned, a bit nervously as she fretted over Dixon's wounds and comforting him. "Griffith? Hey, you need to come to the park. Dixon got a bit roughed up- he's fine. But he's pretty shaken up and you should probably take him to the hospital to make sure his ribs and all are alright. I'm treating a split lip right now and he just really wants you here."

Griffith felt his chest tighten and his jaw slack.

"Wait...w-what? What happened?" Griff asked, momentarily stunned with shock, unable to believe right away what Harper had just said.

Harper let out a tired breath, closing her eyes for a moment before clearing her throat and going back to taking care of Dixon quickly. "Kasper, Griffith. He roughed Dixon up. He's fine. He's just like I said, roughed up and well, scared. I've got him safe, we're in the park, okay? I can take him to the shop if you can't get here."

Kasper. Dixon. Roughed up. Scared.

Griffith felt his heart hammering in his chest and his stomach tighten with a disgusting concoction of anxiety and rage, anxiety for his brother's well-being and rage for Kasper.

"Tell Dixie I'm on my way, okay?" He said, hastily clambering to his feet and making his way over to the workbench where he'd left his jacket. He tugged it on and felt his jaw setting and his eyes becoming moist with angry and worried tears. "I'll come get him, tell him, I'm..." His words faltered a bit towards the end as he spun around to face his bike.

"Griffith, listen to me." Harper said firmly. "He's fine. He's okay. I've got him. Can you get here safely or not?"

Griffith waited a moment, before taking a deep inhale and reaching up to scrub at his face a bit.

"Yeah...yeah, I'm fine. I can get there, just...Harper, tell him I'm on my way, please. Just tell him I'm coming for him." He said then.

Harper took a deep breath and wiped away Dixon's tears from his cheeks gently. "Griff is on his way, okay, kiddo?"

FinerThanFitz · Joined: 04 Mar 2015 Posts: 16087

Dixon gave a small nod and spluttered a quiet, "Okay." before reaching up to wipe at his eyes again.

"I'm hanging up, Harper, I'll be there soon." Griff said, and, without saying anything else, he clicked off his phone and promptly wheeled his car out of the garage, just eager to get to Dixon.

((FF))

It wasn't a far ride to the park, but it still felt like Griffith couldn't get there fast enough. He'd sped all the way through town and, in all actuality, he was lucky he didn't get stopped.

He pulled into the back lot of the park and posted his motorcycle in the closest spot. He hiked off and almost instantly began in a dead sprint into the park's back entrance.

"Dixie! Harper!" He called out.

Harper was sitting by Dixon now, holding his hand and rubbing his back with her other hand. She glanced up when she heard Griffith in the distance and pulled her hand from Dixon's back before pressing her fingers together and placing them in her mouth and gave a loud whistle.

Griffith's head swiveled quickly when he heard Harper's whistle and he turned sharp on his heel in that direction. He hurried towards the sound and eventually found two familiar figures huddled together on a bench. His pace quickened and he came to a skidding halt, sinking to his knees as soon as he was in front of his brother.

"Dixie, fuck...fuck...I'm so sorry, Dixie." Griffith crooned, reaching up to cradle his brother's face. He gently ran his fingers over his cheeks and guiltily looked over the damage done. Dixon had a pretty bad split in his lip that Grif was sure needed stitches, under his thumbs, he could already tell he'd have swelling and bruising around his eyes. He noticed how he cradled his chest and side and instantly imagined the worst. "Fuck...Dixie...I'm-"

Before he could even finish, Dixon began sniveling and crying again, reaching up to grab his brother's arm with his free hand, in an attempt to pull him closer.

"Griff....Griff, I didn't do...I didn't...I didn't..."

Griff quickly took his hands from Dixon's face and instantly wrapped them around his brother, trying to be as delicate as possible.

"It isn't your fault, Dixon, okay? If it's anyone's fault...fuck...I'm sorry, Dixon." Griffith crooned.
