turned to the side so that everyone could see my injured side and lifted my shirt and jacket to show them the gash. There was a few gasps and quite a few shakes of the head. Maddie was across the room like a shot and had her arms around me crying. Holding her, I slowly started to sit on the couch with her in my arms.
Chapter Eight
“Right, before anyone jumps to any conclusions, Jay got that injury weeks ago and as you can see he hasn’t changed into one of those things.” Said Marc.
“I don’t have any problem with you being here Jay, and I agree with Marc if you were going to change you would have already.” Becky answered.
“Mate, I don’t give a fuck what’s said today, you’ve been my mate for a long time and if you have to leave then I am going with you.” Said Rees from his position in front of the door.
“Okay, but I think we should take more note of what the new people would like, we brought them here before we knew what had happened with me, so they have more to say in this than we do in my eyes.” I said.
Bet stood went to walk to one of the windows and looked outside. Mary crossed her arms and looked straight at me and said “Look you brought us to a safe place and you have promised to teach us to defend ourselves. Plus, if it is true and you got the injury a while ago then I am happy with what your friends have said.”
Bet turned and looked at the room “I have been reunited with my grandson and I had thought that I would never see any of my family again, so for that I can only say thank you. But and it is a but, if you’re infected, you could put us all in danger. Now if it is true and you got the injury a few weeks ago, then the infection might be so minor it might go away. But we have to also think that it may get worse. So what I propose is that Jay get checked every day for a month and if it doesn’t get worse then ok, but if it gets worse then we have to ask him to leave.”
Before people started to get upset, I raised my hand and said “We have heard from everyone but Maddie, so can we wait until she has her say before we have a free for all?”
Maddie lifted her head from my shoulder and simply said “I feel exactly like Rees, if you go I go.” Then buried her head back into my shoulder.
Then everyone started to talk at once and nearly all of it was directed at Bet. I did feel sorry for her, but saying that more than half of the people in the room were friends that had been with me from before the beginning or shortly after. I sat with Maddie buried into my side and watched everyone talk at once apart from Rees, who was just standing at the door watching. Slowly coming to the realization that I or someone else had to make the decision, I stood up slowly and everyone started to quieten down. Looking into the faces of everyone in the room, I saw some that felt sorry for me, one that looked like I couldn’t be trusted and the rest were on the fence.
“Look, I agree with some of you, but I also agree with Bet. Now I don’t know how long after I got this injury that the infection started to show, I haven’t been exactly looking for it. Becky did it look like the infection was there when you dad patched me up?” I said.
“Erm…we couldn’t see it at the time because there was a lot of bruising, blood and pus. That and dad had to cut some of the flesh away, that might explain why it hasn’t spread fast. We hit you with a lot of antibiotics at the time, but saying that we don’t know what it is or if the medicine did anything.” She replied.
“Ok, so we don’t know if it was there at the time of injury and hasn’t progressed because of the antibiotics or that is has only now started to show it’s self. So the only course of action at the minute is that I stay for the time being and if it becomes clear that the infection is starting to spread, I leave whether it be on my own or with ours. For
