Summer jumped and turned instantly when Lex screamed, and got a face full of glass. Screaming herself, her arms flew up as she turned her head in reflex to shield her eyes and face.
It took moments after the breaking sound had ended before she could lower her arms and look around. Lex was gripping onto her shoulders looking her over; Becky was being led away by a man in a blue jumpsuit and Zac…. Zac was lying on the floor, in a sea of broken glass, unmoving. Jakob crouched down beside him.
"I'm fine. I'm fine!" She shouted as Lex threw question after question at her. "How's Becky? What's wrong with Zac?"
Her head shook, "We don't know. The janitor, he called Doreen on his… I don't know what it is! His walkie-talkie! And she called the nurse and the emergency team that they have here."
Stumbling on weak legs, Summer moved to try and get next to Zac and Jakob. "Careful," Lex cautioned gently, her arms holding her sister up some. "You need to be checked out too."
Her head shook roughly. "Zac and Becky first."
There was a rush of bodies and words in the next minutes to come. Summer's head swam as they started shouting orders and vitals back and forth.
Becky's feet were in bad shape. She was dancing around when the first window broke, and she had stopped. Frightened of what had happened, and terrified when no one was around to help her. Then when the second one had been broken, she'd instinctively run to get out of the way. Causing the damage to her feet, the shards of glass slicing through her padded shoes with ease.
Zac… was unconscious. From what Summer understood, he had fallen down, hitting his head on the floor and that glass had gotten into his eyes. His eyes…
Summer closed hers in pain, "Oh God." She moaned sickly, her body doubling over from the emotional anguish.
Lex was holding her up again, "Summer? Summer, what's wrong?"
Summer couldn't get her mouth to work yet, "What's wrong?!" Lex shouted, panicking.
"His eyes… they… they're gonna be okay… right?" She murmured, her own filling with tears.
Lex shook her head in confusion. "I don't know. They're not telling anyone anything yet."
They watched. In silence they watched as Zac was being lifted to a stretcher, then as they popped it up to roll out.
They followed as it was carried by the two EMT's down the stairs and through the dark and quiet hallway.
Summer drove them to the county hospital, and waited in the emergency room with Lex and Jakob, waiting for Zac's family to come. Doreen had called them once the EMT's explained they were moving him, and had promised she'd come after everyone and everything settled down at Seymour.
"The police are checking everything out there." Jakob muttered dryly. His arms were crossed in front of him, and the angry scowl on his face betrayed his worry of his friend.
Not really paying attention or caring, Summer shrugged, "For what?"
Jakob's head tilted. "Oh come on!" He exclaimed in disgust, and she turned to him. "Windows just don't break for the hell of it!"
She shook her head as her face went ashen. "What?" She didn't hear him right, she couldn't have.
Jakob sunk lower in his seat and glowered, "Somebody deliberately broke those windows. Someone has vandalized Seymour."
Lex blinked wide-eyed several times. "I uh… I um... saw something…. I think."
Summer and Jakob both turned sharply to her then.
