This Silence is Deafening;; - - [ZOEY]

[Zoey]

Becky shrunk back as he father glared at her. She blew her hair frmo her face also seeing the anger in Ian's eyes. Did she miss something? She sunk down groaning shaking her head but smiling as he blushed. It was only a kiss ont he cheek. He had saved her life and her fathers. She gripped his hand ignoring the tesnion int he van. It was the least she could do for him after all. She saw the skepticism in all there facees. What so now was the time they had to be prtective? He seemd just like all of them and here wa sher overprotective father. she loved him dearly but he needed to gain some trust. She grinned up at him as he was still blushing but he looekd uncomfortable. She fetl guilty for doing that suddenly and looked as they came home. She grinned and got out letting go of his hand Oh home.. she breathed walking to the side gripping the siding closing her eyes not awnting to let go.

Becky grinned lightly and saw Ian. She wanted to laugh outloud. He looked like he was going to ring his neck. Of course his father was no better. She squeezed his hand giving him a wanring look then turned ahead watching as the sun was coming up. She kept looking back just in case. Ya she was supersticoud. Frowning Nicky looked at Chad. He looked guilty for some reason and hat made her stomach clench in uncertainty again. She gasped in releif as they got out of the van. Home. all of them. Sighing in releif she walked..well ran up to Hannibal hugging him tightly not letting go Get her a jack russle. She whisperes smilign tears running down her face. This reminded her of the alst time they escpaed...escept last time they did the deed after XD. She sighed walking in

[Hannibal Casry]

Well they definitely weren't doing the deed this time. Hannibal felt as though he was going to die. He nodded and pulled away from the grip that Nicky had on him. He understood that she was glad to be home, but the excitement had not caught up to him yet. First the wave of sickness and pain caught him, hopefully then excitement would come next. He locked himself in the bathroom and coughed a few times before he threw up. He gasped softly, and coughed again. His head ached and his chest was tight, aching as well. He sat back against the wall of the bathroom, holding his head as he closed his eyes.

Ian pushed the seat out of the way as Becky got out. He didn't wait for Chad to get out. The kid was slow and he wasn't going to wait. He hugged the house too and walked inside to get the dog that he was saying was everyone's. He wasn't keeping the pup for himself, not after all this shit. He grimaced as he heard someone puking in the bathroom. Poor dad... he thought with a frown. Chad made him sick to his stomach... A laugh escaped Ian's throat at the thought that that may possibly be true... Knowing his father at least... He then walked up to his room, grabbed the poor pup and pet him lovingly as he brought him outside. He set Lucky in the grass and immediately the excitement got to him and the dog took a dump. He laughed and pushed Becky with a playful grin as he jogged into the house. "Becky has the clean up job..." he teased lovingly. Not being an ass like he had been before. Lucky ran over to Becky and tried to jump into her arms, but alas he was too small. He licked her lovingly then trotted into the house as he trailed at Nicky's heels.

Chad's eyes remained on the floor. It wasn't that she made him uncomfortable, oh no. He'd love to be closer to her, but for one, Hannibal scared him and for two he felt like an asshole. He couldn't believe himself for even a fraction of a second. This wasn't him at all. He couldn't believe what he'd been lured into doing and he felt horrible about it. He carefully got out of the car and watched as everyone went inside but Becky. He walked over to her, and very gentle he put a hand on her shoulder before speaking. "Sorry to be so embarrassed so easily. I am worried your dad doesn't like me..." he said quietly. His deep eyes meeting her own as a very small smile showing on his pale features. It was very easy to tell that he liked her. It wasn't too bad that he liked her either, for he was a very attractive young man. Sure he was almost an exact year older then her, but hey.

[Zoey]

Becky smiled as Ian got out and frowned as her dad ran for the washroom. Poor guy. She wished he did not have to go through all that. She saw Ian and scoffed grinning at him Hey its your dog. She teased back She could acept that. He wanted the dog. She was more into JAck russels. She smiled as Lucky came up to her and she gigled picking him up cuddling him. Ok so the goofball was starting to worm into her heart. she turned as a hand was on her shoulder and looked at Chad smiling awmrly moving closer Don't worry about it...my dad is jsut being protective i did just get-... She stopped mid sentence petting Lucky then sighed. The rest was obvious. She set Lucky down then looked at him If im making you uncomfortable you aren't being forced to stay. She said sadly. She did not want Chad to think he had to. This was not the idea she meant. Im sorry my dad scares you...hell he scares me. she grinned giggling lightly then rubbed her arm awkwardly as everyone went in the house. The sun was rising and it accented her beautiful face.

Nicky bit her lip as Hannibal ran in and went for the bathroom immedtiatly. Oh great. No deed tonight. She laughed at that thought. She walekd in seing finally the two twins getting along. She saw Chad talking to Becky before she shut the door letting some of her trust go on test. Let them have a minute. It was not like they were going to be all over eachother. No. She walekd to the bathroom door rolling ehr eyes at Ian Ian love it is your dog..were getting one for Becky but shh. she smiled knocking Love..are you ok? Can i get you anything? She asked lightly hoping he was ok. How had he gotten sick? Frowning she tried to open the door only to see it was locked. That made her feel more worried. Hannibal rarely ever got sick. Please love let me get you something..

[Hannibal Casry]

"Yeah... that's understandable." Chad said with a soft sigh. That was horrible to go through, which he knew from experience. He watched as she set the dog down but moved closer. He wasn't bothered by that at all. The very faint smile remained on his features as she said he could leave. He didn't want to leave. These people were pretty nice, and she was gorgeous. He'd really grown attracted to her. "I was hoping it would be alright if I stayed, you know, until I get back on my feet?" he said, theoretically of course. He could walk just fine. He smiled then, a little wider as she apologized for her dad scaring him a bit, and then saying that he scared her as well. He looked at her gorgeous face as the sun made her look like an angel. A very gentle hand stroked her features as he looked into her eyes. "You're beautiful, did you know that?" he asked her with a smile. He leaned a little closer as his dreamy eyes stayed with hers, but didn't move any closer. He hoped she felt the same about him as he felt about her... If she did, then she'd meet him the rest of the way. He'd really grown to her and his heart ached to kiss her, at least once before Hannibal took his head right off his shoulders.

Ian grinned as his mother said she was getting his sister her absolute favorite kind of dog. His favorite was a tie between a boxer and a German shepherd, but his dad had said no to a German shepherd. A pure one got too big his dad had said, but he was perfectly ok with a boxer. They were still totally amazing too. He picked up the puppy and held him in his arms as he went to find one of chance's tennis balls that he could take Lucky out back and teach him how to fetch. Chance had been really good at the game, when he gave it back of course...

He coughed again and pushed himself forward again as he leaned back over the toilet. He could see red mixed in and he coughed again, coughing up blood from the acid that burned his throat. He hadn't eaten anything lately so he was simply throwing up his stomach acid. It stung his throat and he tried to swallow but it hurt like hell. He could hear Nicky knock the first time and ask if he was alright and if he wanted anything. He threw up once more and flushed the toilet as he tried to catch his breath. He could hear her try the knob on the door, only to find that he'd locked it. He knew she was worried and he was too. He couldn't believe he was sick. He didn't know what had happened. He never gets sick and here he was, trying to puke his guts out. He wiped his mouth and used a Dixie cup to rinse his mouth. The water burned his throat as well, but it cleaned the horrid taste and a little bit more blood from his mouth and throat. He tossed the cup into the garbage and rinsed the sink. He opened the door very slowly, and his features had lost all color. He looked like a ghost he was so pale. "I'm alright..." he murmured quietly as he hugged Nicky softly. It almost wasn't a hug his touch had been so soft. He wasn't being gentle, it was like he had no grip in him. He walked out to find the first place he could sit. He sat down in one of the chairs and helps his head in his hands. He sat a bit on the edge as to not get blood on it from his leg. The wound had stopped bleeding, but the blood that had dripped was not dry.

[Zoey]

Becky looekd at him nodding smiling widely Of course you can stay as long as you want..i will go tell mom to set up the spare bedroom. She looked down at her shoes and kicked them off gently. she had just put them on but she eralized she felt more free barefooted and thats what she wanted to feel like right now. Free. She looked up into his gorgeous eyes as he told her she was beautiful. A blush creeped up her cheeks and she laughed shaking her head I do not think so. She siad sobering up as he moved clsoer to her dipping his head down. Her breath caught. She had never really kissed a boy before. She looked around with the corners of her eyes hoping her brother would not come out and strangle Chad. She stepped clsoer grabbing his shirt capturing his lips. she closed her eyes a curious pleased look on her face as she kissed him hungrily. She smiled at the sensation. God she had no idea kissing could be so god damn fun and evil XD she moved clsoer going on her tippy toes as she deepened the kiss afraid he would push away.

Nicky frowned as she ehard him puke again. Oh God. What was going on with him. she stepped back as he walked out pale as ever Hannibal...please let me help. She begged taking his arm as he barely hugged her. Ya soemthign was wrong. She saw his leg Ian! call 911 now! She knelt beside Hannibal tears falling down her face Whats wrong with you...please don't do this to me.. She whispered taking his hand holding it to her lips kissing it. He was sick..badly and hsi leg was not helaing. She was worried. She glanced out the window and her mouth dropped as she saw there daughter kissing the living daylights out of him. She groaned shaking ehr haed not wanting Hannibal to see that he might jsut throw up again. She was going to be a looker. nicky just wanted to make him better. Stop him from being sick. The thing wthat worried her was he was NEVER sick..and he had not eaten since last night.

[Hannibal Casry]

"How can you not think so." he said, stroking her face with a gentle thumb as he studied her beautiful features. How she did not think she was the beautiful thing in the world was completely beyond him. Most girls he knew that looked like her would be completely conceited and say something smart if they were told they were beautiful. She was one of the best looking girls he'd seen in a while and she thought she wasn't. He watched her eyes look back and forth before she leaned into his kiss and grabbed his shirt with her hands. He smirked slightly beneath the kiss and let his hands rest on her hips as he dipped his head a little bit more, so she didn't have to stand so tall on the ball of her feet. Her kiss was hungry, like she'd never kissed anyone other then her family, which was totally believable knowing her father the little bit that he knew the man. He kissed her deeply, letting his hands run up her sides a bit as he leaned her up against the side of the house and stepped closer to her. His lips parting from hers, only for a second to trail some kisses down the sensitive skin of her neck, then lead them to her lips once more. She wasn't a terrible kisser for being starved of it all these years... It actually made her a better kisser then most because most girls got sloppy when they kissed too many people. She was aggressive with her kiss, but she wasn't sloppy. He didn't like being slobbered on so he favored her kiss. He ran his fingers through her soft hair with a small smile as he looked into her eyes. "Mmm, you're a pretty good kisser. Ever had a boyfriend?" he asked wonderingly, just to make sure that his theory was correct.

He sat back in the chair as she begged him to let her help. He didn't know how she could help if he just felt tired and sick. There wasn't anything she could really do for him... other then let him sleep. She flinched slightly as she yelled for Ian. His pounding head magnified that sound by ten and it sounded like she'd been using a megaphone to call their son. He mumbled softly with a sigh as she took his hand to her lips and kissed it gently. He stroked her features with his fingers as he felt the tears fall down her delicate features. "I'm ok..." he said softly, looking into her eyes for a second, until he hid his eyes behind heavy eyelids. "I just need to... to... sleep..." he said very quietly, repeating his words as he tried to speak clearly. Another soft sigh escaped his lungs and he didn't speak again. His chest rose and fell at a slow, but none the less a steady pace. He didn't move his fingers again, just sat there quietly with his other hand resting across his stomach. He swallowed hard, to get the feeling of needing to puke again to go away. He didn't want to puke again. That means he'd need to get up, and he just wanted to sleep. The soft grip he'd had on her hand before just faded out to nothing so his hand was just in hers, and she was holding it but he wasn't holding hers. He coughed softly into his hand and a bit of blood was visible.

"Whats the number again?" Ian joked as he walked back out into the room from outside on the porch. He'd left Lucky out there because he wouldn't bring the ball back. The smirk was ripped right off his face as he saw that his mother was crying... She wasn't joking. Damn was he stupid. He picked up the phone and called the emergency number and looked out to his mom. He didn't know what to say to them... "What's wrong?" he asked worriedly as she looked horribly worried. He saw his dad on the couch, but he didn't see the man's face. When he did he kind of stepped back a little but handed his mother the phone as they answered.

"Hello? Is anyone there?" the woman on the other line asked as she only heard silence. "This better not be a joke..." she cursed under her breath. They’d been getting a lot more prank calls then usual lately and it was very tiring after a while.

[Zoey]

How could she not think so? Good question. Well she had never even had a byofriend. Sure guys wolf whislted to her in the hall but did they not do that to everyone. She was no model and she was not brought up to make a fuss about herself. When she kissed him he kised back. She moaned softly as he pushed her agaisnt the house. Damn he was a good kisser. maybe all those years of being with Lee had built up and just exploded or maybe he was bad and she didn't know it. He was her fisrt kiss. She licked her lips closing her eyes as he kissed down her neck grasping her hips. She felt her whole body on fire and another small graon left her parted lips. She looked into his eyes as he asked if she kenw she was a good kisser. She grinned rolling her eyes Well after letting it build up and seeing how handomse you are. And no i have never had a boyfriend. She ran her hand through his hair and examined his face. Wincing she turned at the sound of her brother asking what was wrong..but not to her. Becky looked at Chad worried then pulled bakc as her mother yelled for help Oh god.. She whispered looking at Chad Come one we have to help him. She said taking his hand trying to get him to follow her. If her dad was in danger because of soemtihng that Lee had did she would never forgive ehreself. She felt like a coward now as she rembered it. How she could not move but only scream in pain and fear as he raped her. Shuddering she looked at him.

Nicky looked at him as he stroked her face very gently. Oh God. Was he dying? NO! Hannibal could not cie on her. She cried softly as he siad he needed sleep. just sleep but wake up after please Hannibal do not leave me.[/]b She grabbed a cloth putting gentl pressure on his leg to stop the bleeding as his hand was no longer gripping his. She glared at Ian as he said a joke but then saw the worry on his face Just do it pelase Ian..your father is hurt. She whispered an layed her head on his arm. She felt like a dog wating for its master. God she was pathetic and still love sick for him. Her tears fell onto his pale hand as she stroked it taking gasping breaths to control her crying. Hannibal was in pain and she winced as he oughed and she saw blood. What was happening to him? Was it soemthing she did. No he would be mad if she blamed this on herself. She growled gritting her teth as Chad kissed her dauhgter down the neck. She still did not trust him. Even though Becky was having some thing going on with him he seemed dark in her eyes. Nicky looked at Ian as he phoned her eyes welled with tears still. Please let him be ok..

[Hannibal Casry]

He smiled slightly as she looked onto his features as said that after letting it build up and seeing how handsome he was it just sort of happened that she was a great kisser. "Never had a boyfriend, eh? How lucky could I get? You're gorgeous and single... We should go out sometime." he said with a small smirk on his features. He kind of felt bad, knowing how that date would end... but he didn't want to die. He'd been close many times and it was horrifying. He didn't want to face it again. Mason had said if he didn't get her it would be his life that he took. That scared him a bit. She took his hand then and said that they have to help. There was a bit of hesitation because he was no stranger to knowing that her mother could have seen them. She'd only been sitting in viewed of that window ever since they first kissed... Then it had progressed to more, and she could have watched them every moment. Chad followed her hesitantly as she pulled on his arm. He stayed close behind Becky, not looking at either of her parents.

"Ow..." Hannibal moaned as he gripped her hand harder then before. He moved slightly because even the slight pressure she'd applied hurt. He still held onto her hand and looked at her as she leaned her head against his arm and tears streaked down her gorgeous face again. Her breaths came in gasps as she cried onto his pale hand. He looked at her with his deep, dark brown eyes. He felt bad for doing this to her. It didn't make any sense. He was never sick and here he is, feeling like he's laying on his death bed. "I'm sorry..." he murmured softly, as he looked into her eyes. His brown eyes showed the pain that he felt and the sickness was clear on his pale features. They also showed the guilt for dragging her down. He didn't know what was wrong with him.

Chad stayed close to Becky as they walked into the house to see her father lying on the couch, looking deathly sick and her brother on the phone as her mother kneeled beside the couch looking hopeless as Ian tried to explain what was wrong with his father. The voice of the woman on the other line of the phone was clearly heard as she said they'd be over shortly to examine his condition and take him off. He watched as Ian hung up the phone and got a cold cloth for his father. He brushed the rag across his father's face and Hannibal thanked him softly. Another couch shook the man's body and blood showed on his pale skin once more. Chad squeezed her hand softly, being worried. He didn't know what was wrong with Hannibal and he worried the man wouldn't be alright. He gasped softly as he saw the blood and shuddered, hiding behind Becky.

Ian finished talking to the woman and hung up the phone. "They will be here with an ambulance shortly. They said only you could ride with him when they pick him up, mom..." Ian said quietly as he draped the rag over his father's pale features and watched as Chad hid behind his sister when Hannibal coughed the blood into his hand. He narrowed his eyes a bit as he watched the kid for a second. Then he saw his dad close his eyes. "C'mon, stay awake for me dad." he said quietly, touching his face softly and took his hand in his so both he and his mother were holding one of Hannibal's hands. He didn't want his father to sleep because if he doesn't respond it could mean he passed on. He didn't want his dad to leave them. They needed him. He was the best dad they would ever have and loosing him would be devastating.

He opened his eyes again and squeezed his son's hand, then heard the sirens in the distance. He looked over to see Chad hiding behind Becky and just looked away from the two of them. He'd watched Chad make a move on his daughter, but hadn't said anything. She seemed to like the boy a lot, and he didn't seem horrible... Hannibal just disagreed with how fast the boy was taking this. Here she was, a girl who'd never gotten the chance to date before because of her father, and this boy was just making moves to get as far as he could before Hannibal killed him. If he didn't feel as he did, he'd be strangling Chad this instant... but he couldn't as the sirens grew louder and the ambulance pulled up outside.

Three men rushed to the door with a stretcher and Ian met them there, opening the door for them as they got the stretcher through. They opened it up and carefully shooed Nicky away as the three of them moved Hannibal onto the stretcher. Hannibal groaned as they moved his legs and they strapped him in. The two men moved the stretcher from the room and out to the ambulance. When they got it in the back two other men started to examine Hannibal's condition. A cold rag was put on his forehead that was burning up and one of the two men checked his pulse while the other examined his throat. They asked him multiple questions but he couldn't get the answers out fast enough to satisfy their needs as the one man wrote things on the clip board. Ian helped answer questions and finished it all and gently put a hand on Nicky's should. "Ma'am, are you going with us to the hospital? You’re husband needs to get out here and fast." he said as the other men were ready to leave.

[Zoey]

Becky shook her head. Nope never. Nope not one. She said pulling at his arm as he hesitated. What was he worried about? Her father could be dying. She looked at him rolling her eyes tugging him into the house. When she opened the door she gasped putting a hand to her mouth. Her father was couging up blood and her mother was sobbing her eyes out. She looked at ian as he glared at Chad wincing. Everyone mujst have saw. She walked over Daddy. She whispered looking at him rubbing her mother's back. He looked awful! What had happened? Questions filled her head as she got into the kitchen getting him a cool glass of water. she looked as Ian was on the phone and handed it to her mother wakling back over to Chad as he looked sorry. It was not his fault right? Shaking off the though she shivered. Her dad could not die. Her mother would die and so would the rest of her family. Tears started falling down her cheeks as she started to cry and dropped her head.

Nicky hissed in sympathy as he gripped her hand touching his cheek gently stroking it. Shh love its going to be ok..pelase dont leave. She begged looking at him as he coughed more blood. She bit her lip looking at him then at Ian nodding. She turned her attention to Chad and Becky as they walked in. She gave a wuick glare at Chad then took the water from Becky placing it beside Hannibal. God he looked awful .The thing that puzzled her was what had caused him to be in so much..pain and sickness. He ssemd immune to all that shit. She smiled at Ian as he dabbed there father's forhead kissing his cheek gently as she heard siren Do not be sorry..its not your fault.. She whispered as Ian crowded around quickly. she sighed looking at Becky. Maybe they were all being a bit to hard on her. She smield thinking about how Hannibal probably wanted to ring the boys neck. She did kinda too.

Becky turned as he hid behind her rolling her eyes hearing the ambulance. She immediatly moved out of the way taking his hand aqueezing it wiping her eyes Ian....go take the vehicle..i guess ill stay. She said sadly. There was only one vehicle at the moment and her mother was going in the ambulance. She stopped the strecher as her father aws on it touching his face kissing his cheek I love you dad..i know i dont say that often...please get better...for me. She whispered before the EMS tugged him from her grasp intot he ambulance. She whimpered watching him and her mother get in. She saw Ian get into the vehicle waving weakly then turned to Chad Im sorry you..had to see that..i hope hes ok. She whispered tracing his chest abesnt mindedly tears running down her face. Great she was alone with Chad. Not that it was not a good thing..just she was in a loudy mood.

Becky got into the ambluance nodding Drive fast. She snarled at the man and took Hannibals hand nodding at Ian as he got in. She looked at Becky. She knew she did not want ot stay but it was really the only option. Someone had to stay with the dog and the house. She gave a warning glare at Chad before the door shut and paremedics were surrounding Hannibal. She held his hand thw hoel time crying silently her tears falling onto his shirt occasionally. She was utterly scared for him. For all of thema ctually. First this drama and then more. It was true. They were never bound to live a lucky life. She laughed bitterly at the irony and kissed his hand Just holdon baby please..for me. Again that phrase was repeeated. She would die if Hannibal did..

[Hannibal Casry]

Everyone glared at him as soon as he went in anywhere. What the fuck was that about? They'd only been kissing. It's not like he's fucked her yet... It had been semi-innocent kissing.

Ian hugged her lovingly. "I'll come back to get you once he's there, alright?" he said as he pulled back, and looked at his sister's horrified features. He knew she was worried and he knew he wanted to come. He wished he could take her along so she wasn't left here alone with Chad. He gave the other a glare before he walked outside and got into the car. his mother got into the ambulance with his father and he put the key in the ignition. He waited for the ambulance to pull away before he pulled out of the driveway. He waved to his sister as he glared at Chad.

Chad watched as Becky's mother gave him a warning glance, and a very faint smile just crossed over his features as he waved her off. "He'll be alright, I'm sure..." he said, stroking her features as the tears fell down her cheeks. Her fingers traced his chest and he smiled faintly. He may be a skinny kid, but he was at least physically fit. He'd fought the men in that mansion for quite sometime before he just kind of gave in. Lee said he was quite a strong kid for his age, and sadly that gave him no break. If anything Lee was harder on him because of him being as strong as he was. He brushed her tears away with his gentle hands and kissed her lovingly. He hated seeing her in a sour mood, and hoped he could coax her back to being like she was before when they were outside. Then it would be much easier to get his plan to work.

Chad worked his way to get his arms around her small figure and he gently kissed the tender skin of her neck. That had worked well before, and chances are it would work again. Once you find a tender spot it doesn't change and it's always their weakest spot. Chad's spot was just behind his ear, that soft spot between his ear and his jaw. He was so sensitive almost anywhere on his neck. He smiled gently as he waited for a reaction. He hoped he could warm her up a bit instead of her worrying so much.

"It'll be alright Nic--" he said very quietly but was interrupted as one of the men in the ambulance opened his mouth to examine his very sore and very raw throat. They put a popsicle stick in his mouth to keep his tongue out of the way and he gagged a bit. Stupid people were trying to make him puke. All they needed to do was put it on the end of his tongue, but no. They had to be complicated and stupid. He squeezed her hand reassuringly as he looked at her with his deep loving brown eyes. He wasn't going to leave her. He knew that much. He closed his eyes for a brief second and the man tapped his face kind of roughly, saying that he had to stay away.

Ian followed behind the ambulance, worrying whether his father was ok or not. Becky and Chad were also on his mind. He didn't know if he completely trusted Chad just yet and it bothered him that he had to leave his sister alone with Chad. Sure, she liked him a lot and seemed really comfortable when she was with him, but something was weird about that kid... It really got under Ian's skin when he thought about the whole idea of his sister being with him. He understood that he was her own personal hero, but c'mon....

[Zoey]

Becky nodded at Ian Please. she whispered to him before he let go glaring once more at Chad. She frowned watching him back away then sighed looking as Chad squeezed her hand saying it was going to be ok i hope so..my dad is a majr part of my life. It was true. She loved her father more than anything. He was always there cleaning up her messes and saving her. Speaking of saving her I never really thanked you for saving us...thanks. She whispered looking into his eyes. He did not have to help them but he risked his life to. Smiling she went to kiss his cheek but was brough back as he kissed her lovingly. She wrapped her arms around his neck kissing him back until he started kissing her neck. She shivered a bit. God he already kenw she liked that. It was her sensitive spot. His lips felt so good..but ugh she did not want this to hapen right now. Slowly she pulled away.

Nicky winced at the words being cut off because some newb paramedic shoved a tick down his throat. She squeezed his hands Ok please do not gag my husband he was just dry heaving thanks. she growled at them then stroked Hannbial's forhead I know your going to be running around by tomorrow. She laughed weakly then kised his nose snuggling up to him gently as not to hurt him. The sirens seemed so loud she wanted to yellto turn them off. But she knew thats what was getting them to the hospital faster. Nicky closed her eyes wiping her tears with her sleeve lookign out the back seeing Ian folllowing on there tail. She knew she should not accuse Chad but something felt weird about him. Shaking off the thoguht she looked at Hannibla.

Becky pulled from his grasp Thanks. She said as he went to wipe her tares. She was not ready to start just kissing freely after what Lee did to her. She kenw kissing led to other things... Im starving come on. She walked into the kitchen taking a deep breath. He was sure a damn good kisser and she wished she could kiss him all day. But wory and fear were churning in her so she grabbed the bread and peanut butter. Hungry? She said weakly putting it down glaring at the counter. My dad is going to be fine...he is.. She said gripping the counter. She had no idea why but this felt like her fault. Obsurd really but she could not shake the feeling. Taking some peanut butter she smothered it on some bread...

[Hannibal Casry]

Chad looked at her as she pulled away from his arms. Well, now he would have to find a different way... If she wasn't willing then he couldn't force her because that would drive away the trust he had built with her. He followed her into the kitchen and shook his head, showing that he wasn't hungry. He walked behind her and let his arms fall around her figure as he took the things to make the sandwich. "Let me do it. You need to sit down and relax. Your father is going to be alright." he said as he set the things back on the counter and lead her over to a chair where she could sit and calm down a bit. "Relax, watch a little bit of TV... I'll fix your sandwich." he said with a gentle smile and walked away from her.

He picked up the bread with peanut butter smeared on it and grimaced in disgust. How people could eat peanut butter was beyond him. He pulled a large pill out of his pocket and eased one half of it off as to sprinkle the power inside of it onto the bread. He mixed that tasteless power into the peanut butter and added just a touch more. He put another piece of bread on top of it and tucked the two sides of the caplet into his pocket again. He walked out to see her still sitting on the couch. He had a glass of milk in his hand to help her wash down the peanut butter. "Here you are. Your sandwich and a little milk to wash it down with." he said as he sat the small plate on her lap and then set himself beside her on the couch. He didn't sit really close to her as he usually would of, but left a little space, maybe to make her think he felt a tad rejected when she pulled away from him before. That usually worked too.

He smiled faintly as she fought for him and then said he'd be running around by tomorrow. God he hoped so. He didn't want to be sick. He was almost never sick, except for maybe a quick cold here. He hadn't been really sick since the fourth grade when he almost died of pneumonia. It had been horrible. He'd stayed in the hospital for a month and he'd needed a tube in his lungs to get the water out and to help him breath. Now he was suffering just as much, but it hurt worse. Hannibal held her hand close as she snuggled up to him as gently as she could. He looked at her as she wiped the tears from her face. "What are you thinking about?" he asked, and not meaning him. He already knew she was worried about him, but something else was on her mind.

Becky turned as he follwoed her in frowning. Stupid knife did not want to cooperate. She growled at it but clsoed her eyes moving into his touch a bit as his arms draped her figure I guess. She said as he suggested he make it for her. She smiled as he said her father would be ok and walked into the livign room biting her lip. He would be. She looked at him as he had his back to her. She tried to see what he was doing but gave up sinking into the laether couch closing her eyes. It was so peacful and quiet. She yawned peacfully and propped her feet up putting a blanket over her lap. Maybe she was not hungry. She jumped a bit as he placed the plate on her lap Thanks...i don't know if im hugnry though.. She sighed. maybe it was eagerness gnawing at her stomach.

She took the milk drinking it though. It was cold and refreshing. Her throat had been aching with soarness since her birthday. Not having a drink had made her cray. She wiped her mouth handing him the sandwhich wagging her eye brows Here Chad..your skinier than i am dear god eat please. She begged and gave him a look that was all teasing. She could get used to Chad.

Nicky hates eeing him sick. He looked so weak and pale. She rembered once when she was in grade 12 she had a horrible case of mono. she had puked night and day for a week until her friends had finally taken her to the hospital. Her parents never had cared about her. she looked up at him as he asked the blowing out a breath Chad..i know he seemes like a great boy but..something is making me just worry..stupid huh? She said traching his chest kissing his hand as they still were racing through traffic. She wanted to be sick from the smells in the ambulance but held it in. She nuzzled his hand then sighed. maybe she was acting retarded. She glanced back at Ian in the car..

He nodded slightly as she said she might not really be hungry. Damn this girl was complicated. She pulled away from him as he teased her skin and she wasn't hungry when he made her something to eat. Now she was handing him the sandwich? He couldn't make it easy on her could he? She had to be complicated, making her fate even harsher. He shook his head slightly as she handed him the sandwich. He wasn't going to eat it, knowing what was now mixed into the peanut butter.

A small smile was offered up on his features as he rejected the sandwich. "I'm not hungry, I couldn't eat the whole thing anyway. You should eat it; something in your stomach will settle you down after all this excitement." he said, giving it back to her. He'd developed a bit of an eating disorder for his lack of food while with Mason. Unless he ate something very small he puked it back up. When he said excitement didn't mean excitement like happy moments, he meant that a lot of stuff happened in a short time. Besides, if she ate it things would go a lot smoother. He drummed his fingers on his leg and just underneath the legs of his jeans was a very tiny button that was pushed. It signaled to Mason that he couldn't do this how they planned. That meant that he'd do a full scale entrance while the two of them were here alone. Sure Mason would not be pleased, but he tried his way. Mason had suggested the pill and when Mason suggested something you couldn't get him to listen to any other ideas.

"No, it's not stupid. I have had a bad feeling since I first saw him... It's not just that he's making moves on our daughter... It's that when we first saw him he'd fallen through the ceiling and picked up my knife and threatened to kill me right there... That first impression has kind of bothered me. I understand that Becky likes him because he's not a bad looking kid and he was the one who helped us..." Hannibal spoke in very quiet tones as the men who lingered in the ambulance seemed to be listening to his every word. He felt her gentle hand trace his chest and her lips met the skin of his hand once more. He tightened his grip on her hand a little more, but it was a very gentle gesture, kind of saying that he was still here and not to look so sad.

They pulled into the hospital's parking lot, into the emergency section and Ian had to go the other way. It was kind of a rough stop and the doors opened letting the bright light and sort of chilly air filter in the ambulance. Two men jumped out while one stayed behind and they lowered him out. One man lowered the wheels on the stretcher and they rolled him away, wrenching his hand away from Nicky. He gasped slightly as his fingers were ripped away from hers. He hated hospitals and here he was going in alone.

Doctors rushed to his side and were asking him a million questions, all of which that were yes and no answers. He nodded or shook his head when the times came. He could feel someone cutting the leg off his jeans and they peeled the material off his leg. He gasped in pain and another doctor pushed a needle into his veins. Hannibal nearly fainted but someone slapped his face, hard enough to snap him out of it but still being gentle. The pain lessened a bit as the world around him got a bit blurry. "Nicky..." he muttered pleadingly and someone shushed him as they rushed him into an emergency room where they could cut open his leg a bit and get the bullet out.

Ian drove behind them the whole way, not letting his gaze leave the ambulance. He was so nervous because he didn't know what was wrong with Hannibal. He'd never seen his father so sick before... they turned into the hospital and the ambulance was allowed in the emergency wing while he wasn't. He parked the van and walked into the front office. The woman there had already been phoned and she knew who he was, but she told him he had to wait out here. He clenched his fists tightly and looked back outside to see his father being removed from the ambulance.

Becky rolle dher eyes. This boy was not going to eat huh? She stuck out her tongue shiving it aside smiling No i might jsut barf it up...pardon my language. She stood seeing him seem tense and a bit annoyed. Had she doen something wrong Why are you so jumpy...i didn't say anything did I? She asked worried standing in front of him taking his hand pullling him up Im sorry im being distant you just don't know how aful it is to be raped by..Lee. She hugged him tightly closing her eyes I do not know how to thank you enough for saving me. Im so glad i can trust you. She looked at him smiling wider And maybe..maybe one day i'll let you kiss me longer. She grinned stanidng on ehr toes capturing his soft lips again.

She really liked Chad. He waqs very attracitve and she felt safer around him for some reason. She frowned seeing she had no mil a nd pulled bakc from the kiss waving the empty glass at him I'll go get more.. she grinned regretfully pulling from his wamr touch. She grabbed the carton from the fridge seeing it was empty and cursed. Whatever she would live. She saw the peanut butter left out and rolled her eyes smiling putting the lid on sining to herself putitng it back in the pantry. Becky walked back in I should really get dressed or shower or something...the remotes right there if you dont wanna come. she winked laughing. God for some reason she loved teasing him. He let her act out her stupid side.

Nicky held his hand tightly nodding Shh baby i know....dont think about it. She said as the ambulance came to an abrupt stop. She winced in agony as he was pulled frmo her grasp Stop it your hurting him! She snapepd jumping out seeing Ian's headlights go around the hospital. She rushed beside him finding his hand again kissing it stroking his forhead as someone slapped him. She shoved him growling then eahrd her name Hannibal.. She breathed kissing his lips gently as he was now out. She let go of him as they said she had to stay here so they could do surgery. She ran otuside seeing Ian and hugged him gently There in surgery now..go get your sister ok? I don't trust Chad much yet and hse looked worried. She winced. Its horrible traffic if you want i can goo.. she let the words fade..

[[lol you can have Ian find her missing ocne he gets there XD]]
