Chapter PA make a great poh One Take sim , one two - faced scumbag . They are soulmates Without another word , Kayla turned on her heel and walked away . Her back was straight despite the pain rabbing through her shoulder . Dave and Marianna stood frozen , watching Kayla go , their eyes dark with resentment and spite Kayla didn't stop until she reached the rooftop , far from the noise and judging stares . The wind was sharp up there , tugging at her hair and clothes , scattering the last bits of frustration still clinging to her chest . Finally , she let her shoulders relax . Her muscles ached , her head was spinning , and her whole body felt like it was burning up . She was swaying on her feet . Unzipping her jacket , she glanced down at the torn skin over her shoulder . The wound had split open again . Blood seeped through the fabric and soaked her collar . Her lips had lost all color . " Goddamn it , she muttered under her breath . If it weren't for Davon jerking her around , her injury wouldn't have reopened , and she wouldn't have wasted all that time on him and Marianna . She checked the time , remembering that she had somewhere important to go . There was no time to hit the hospital . With no better option . Kayla grabbed some tissues and dabbed around the wound , trying to slow the bleeding . The pain was worse now - deeper and more persistent . Her body felt like it was burning from the inside out . Her limbs were trembling , and her forehead was damp with sweat . Even standing still was a challenge . Her vision began to blur , her head heavy and wrapped in fog . She gripped the railing for balance . Then a low , steady voice came from behind . " Can I help you ? " Kayla snapped out of the haze and turned her head . She saw Payton Lynch standing there and watching her . 田 Inside the school clinic , a harsh voice rang out . " Her wound is badly infected . She's running a high fever . We need to clean out the pus and reduce the inflammation immediately . Why was she only brought here now ? Do you want her dead ? " The doctor barked out the diagnosis while prepping supplies with practiced hands . Her voice was full of irritation and disbelief . Payton stood nearby , silent , his eyes fixed on Kayla with a storm of emotions swirling beneath the surface . He didn't offer excuses . As the doctor began disinfecting the wound for Kayla , she looked up and said to Payton , " Hey , help me out . Pull down her collar and fully reveal her wound . " Payton hesitated , his lips pressed into a tight line . He didn't move . The doctor flared with frustration . " What are you waiting for ? You want her to get worse ? If the infection spreads and complications kick in , don't blame me . " Payton didn't hesitate any longer . He reached out , unfastened Kayla's collar button by button , and gently pulled the fabric aside , revealing the full extent of the wound and the pale skin around her neck and shoulder . When his eyes landed on the deep , bloody gash at her shoulder , he froze , completely stunned . He hadn't expected it to be that bad . ' The wound is so deep ? And she's just been walking around with this ? How tough she is , he thought in disbelief . AD
