[ you are not ! ]

Liam, still unconvinced, eyed Eric for a moment. Then, before he said something, Joseph did.
"You're not off the hook, buddy. I've got your number. You better watch your back, you drunken bastard." With that, Joseph wheeled around and left, shoving the nurse and doctor out of the way just as they were coming in, Liam in toe.
After Leah was sure they were gone, she crawled out from underneath the bed and hugged Eric, at loss of words.

Eric breathed a heavy sigh of relief as soon as Joseph and Liam had left, and looked to the side as Leah scrambled out from under his bed, before nearing him and wrapping him in a huge hug.
He also hugged her tightly, his mind faintly reeling as he felt her chest pressed tightly against his, but he pushed the feeling away, gently stroking her hair, the long silky strands running through his fingers.
As the nurse came in, he raised his head, before clearing his throat. "When may I leave?"

by Guest Tue Nov 08, 2011 3:48 pm

Leah looked over at the nurse, but she didn't let go of the nurse. It looked like the nurse was already trying to dissuade Eric from Leah, seeing as she was obviously wearing a push-up bra today. Snorting with disgust, Leah propped herself up on the bed and rested her head on his chest. She wanted to know the answer to that question, as well. Hoping it'd be today, Leah sighed contentedly as she felt Eric's warmth beside her.

by Spritz Tue Nov 08, 2011 4:03 pm

The nurse, who now, wearing darker makeup, her hair arranged perfectly around her face, spoke, glancing from Eric, to Leah momentarilly, then looking back to Eric, a girlish smile spread across her shimmering lips, that was caused by clear lip gloss. Eric didn't like her already, as he already had what he needed, and he took Leah's hand in hers, squeezing it gently.
"Actually, we need to contact your parents." She twittered nervously, giving him a wider smile and flashing her perfect white teeth. Suddenly, the door burst open, and Mrs. Quinn hurried in, her face pale and anxious.

by Guest Tue Nov 08, 2011 4:06 pm

Leah smiled and laced her fingers through Eric's. The nurse was obviously trying to be seductive, and Leah hated it. Not that she had anything to worry about, but she was a tiny bit. When she saw Mrs. Quinn, she gasped and sat upright. "Mrs. Quinn!" She read the look on her face and she looked worried. "What's wrong?"

by Spritz Tue Nov 08, 2011 4:14 pm

Eric strightened as the woman rushed towards them, wrapping them both in a hug, and kissing Eric on the forhead, in a motherly fashion. Her lipstick left a small pink smudge on his forhead, and he tentetivley hugged her back, not sure why she was suddenly very nervous. Then he realized why.
As she pulled away, he could tell she was about to cry, and she shook her head. "Why Eric, why! My goodness boy!" She stroked his hair from his face, before turning to the nurse, who was leaning on the wall, her legs crossed.
"I'm his mother, when can he leave?"

by Guest Tue Nov 08, 2011 4:23 pm

Leah frowned, but only for a split second. She sat up straighter, gently removing herself from Eric's grasp, just in time to avoid Mrs. Quinn's attack of love and motherhood. Leah smiled and walked off the bed, shooting a glance at the quite slutty nurse. She couldn't say no. It would be completely idiotic. Leah smiled as she saw the lipstick smear gently on Eric's face, making her chuckle a bit.

by Spritz Tue Nov 08, 2011 4:27 pm

"Oh!" The nurse straightned, then quickly ushered her outside to complete the transaction process for letting Eric leave. Minutes later they returned, bringing Eric his original clothing. Pushing himself to his feet, he slowly, and with the help of Mrs. Quinn, made his way to the bathroom. The nurse, when he looked at her nametag, was named Linda, and he closed the door softly, before changing into his own clothes, painfully slipping off the gown and dressing in the black jeans and t shirt he had been wearing when he had..... done what he did.

by Guest Tue Nov 08, 2011 4:29 pm

Leah smiled happily. She felt awful when she saw that he needed help from Mrs. Quinn to get up. He must really be in pain, she thought. It made her heart hurt. She didn't know why, but it did. She hated to see or think about what he did to himself, and what his parents did to him. Wondering when exactly (and if Mrs. Quinn would accept) they'd move in with the kindly Mrs. Quinn. Leah was hoping desperately that she'd accept Eric, if not her. Eric needed more protection than she did.

by Spritz Tue Nov 08, 2011 4:33 pm

Pushing open the door, Eric gingerly stepped out, his face rather pale. He was alright though, and quickly straightened, having left the hospital gown in the bathroom.
The wonderful Mrs.Quinn gently helped him out the door, and he held a hand out for Leah, hoping she would take it and come along. The hospital had kindly lent him a wheelchair untill he was a bit better and had recovered, and he was lowered into it, feeling rather embarrassed that everyone had to help him.

by Guest Tue Nov 08, 2011 4:45 pm

Leah took his hand gently, concern littering her expression. She watched him get into his wheelchair, and she sighed. "You better get better soon. I hate seeing you like this." Leah said, frowning, bending down to kiss his cheek gently.

[ woah fail. o3o ]

by Spritz Tue Nov 08, 2011 4:48 pm

Mrs. Quinn quickly placed her hands on the wheelchairs handles, and wheeled Eric out of the hospital room, striding down the hall. She looked at Leah after the girl had kissed Eric on the cheek gently, and gave her a warm smile.
"I'm taking Eric to the apartment, you're welcome to stay with him." She said gently, patting Leah's hand.

(me too. I'm doing homework!)

by Guest Tue Nov 08, 2011 4:51 pm

Leah smiled bashfully, a blush spreading across her face. "Yeah, that'd be nice. I feel sort of responsible." Leah added the last part very quietly, so that Eric wouldn't hear her. She knew he'd tell her it wasn't her fault, but it was her that had kept him up so late, her fault his father had beaten him, her fault he had overdosed. She was just happy that he was alive.

by Spritz Tue Nov 08, 2011 4:56 pm

Wheeling Eric into the elevator, she patted Leah's hand softly, nodding. "You go right ahead dear, stay as long as you like." She didn't bother asking about her parents, knowing that this girl was old enough to make her own desisions. Soon, the elevator doors opened, and they reached the front desk, quickly checking Eric out.
Opening the clear glass doors, a familiar sight met Eric's eyes. Joseph and Liam standing near thier truck, thier sharp eyes watching as Leah, along with Eric and Ms Quinn came out.

by Guest Tue Nov 08, 2011 4:59 pm

Leah was in a good mood. She felt for once that she was safe. Safe forever. That she would be invincible with the help of Mrs. Quinn and the strange attraction for Eric. As soon as she stepped out of the hospital, her eyes landing on her brother and Joseph, she froze in place, physically incapable of moving for a few moments. "Mrs. Quinn, please get Eric out of here." Leah said desperately. "Don't let him do anything stupid." Leah, a look of horror on her face, slowly walked over to her brother, who immediately grabbed her wrist.
"Didn't go home, did you? What were you doing with him?" Liam said, twisting Leah's wrist.
"I just went to v-visit him, Liam! I s-swear I didn't d-do anything!" Leah whimpered.

by Spritz Tue Nov 08, 2011 5:04 pm

Eric froze as Liam started to sneer, and quickly whispered to Mrs.Quinn what was happening. Giving a curt nod, she let Leah make her way over to her brother, pretending not to notice, and quickly helping Eric into the backseat of her silver car. Shutting the door, she glanced over, at the same moment that the younger man, obviously Leah's brother, twisted her wrist painfully, and she narrowed her eyes, before striding over, standing next to Leah and glaring at Liam straight in the face. When she was full of her 'righteous indignation', she was quite scary.
"What do you think you're doing young man!?" She snapped, wrenching his hand away from Leah. "She's with me, and we'll be going now!"

by Guest Tue Nov 08, 2011 5:08 pm

Joseph moved in front of Mrs. Quinn. "I don't think so, woman." Joseph pushed Mrs. Quinn out of the way. "She's my daughter. And she is coming home with me. Liam, put her in the car."
Leah whimpered slightly when her brother grabbed her shoulder and ushered her roughly into the back seat. She looked at Mrs. Quinn and mouthed, "Just go. I'm fine." Leah allowed herself to be shut into the car, Liam walking into the passanger's seat.
"We'll be going now." Joseph said, moving briskly to the driver's seat and starting the engine roughly and loudly before jerking the car into gear and speeding off.

by Spritz Tue Nov 08, 2011 5:14 pm

Setting her jaw harshly, Pam (Mrs. Quinn) ran to her car, opening the door and being faced with a pale, wide eyed Eric, who was yelling at her to 'get in, get in!' before he drove the car after them himself. Shaking her head, she got into the driver side, patting Eric's hand gently. "Eric, dear, she's fine! She's going home with her family, she'll be alright." Giving him a kind smile, Eric's eyes widened, and he shook his head urgently, his lips pale. "No, no!"

by Guest Tue Nov 08, 2011 5:19 pm

Leah ignored her father's harsh words and her brother's muttered curses. It didn't take them long to get home, and her heart thudded against her chest at the idea of what they were doing. Trying to prevent herself from being hurt any more than she already would have been, she allowed herself to be dragged inside her house and shoved up the stairs. She hit her side once on the railing and had herself winded. Leah squeaked slightly as she was thrown onto the floor in her room, the door slammed behind her and locked from the outside. Leah immediately was on her feet. "Let me out of here!" Leah screamed, banging on the door with her fists. Her room was in complete darkness. The window had been completely boarded up now, and the only light in her room was a lava lamp on her bedside table.

by Spritz Tue Nov 08, 2011 5:23 pm

Knowing there was nothing that she could do, Pam gently patted Eric's hand, who wrenched it away in return, eyes wild with fear. "No! You dont understand what they do to her!" He cried out, about to burst into tears. "I cant follow them sweetheart, I cant force them to give me their own daughter!" She exclaimed, pulling out of the parking lot, and locking the doors so Eric wouldn't try anything stupid, like jumping out of a moving car. Something that she wouldn't put past him to do.

by Guest Tue Nov 08, 2011 5:26 pm

Leah banged on the door continually. She heard her father yell at her, and she shrank back monentarily, only to have the door swing open. Leah retreated immediately, but not soon enough for her father to grab the back of her shirt and whirl her around, delivering a harsh blow to her face. She screamed, letting herself fall to the floor when Joseph let go of her, leaving the door and slamming it behind him, locking it once again. Instead of trying to get out again, Leah curled up in a ball against the side of her bed, holding her rapidly bruising face, and hoping the best for Eric. Especially that he wouldn't be stupid enough to come and get her.

by Spritz Tue Nov 08, 2011 5:33 pm

(AHA! Now they have similarities, their parents abuse them, eh?)

Pulling his black phone out of his pocket, Eric franticly started to type a new text message, not looking at Mrs.Quinn. His fingers flew over the keys, mispelling words as he did so, but he didn't care, not now, not ever. The sudden feeling that Leah was in great danger made his fingers tremble, and he soon pressed the send button, praying she had her phone.

Leah=, Leahg! Tesxt me back as soon as yuo get this! Plaese!

by Guest Tue Nov 08, 2011 5:37 pm

[ lol i guess. didn't mean for her parents to be this abusive, but it kinda just flowed xD sorry if it bugs you ]

Leah felt the simple buzz of her phone from her jean pocket. She opened her phone and read the message, frowning when she saw it was from Eric. She had to lie to him. She couldn't have him worrying about her. If he knew her parents were being abusive, he'd do something stupid, and he'd get himself hurt even more. Texting him back, Leah tried to remember the kiss they'd shared, trying to make up for her lying to him with memories passed.

Hey. I'm fine. Don't worry.

by Spritz Tue Nov 08, 2011 5:41 pm

Eric held his phone in his hands, anxiously tapping his fingers on the screen. As soon as it lit up, saying he had a new message, he felt his gut tense, and opened it up, reading the words that were carefully typed in a second. He knew she wasn't. He knew she was lying, only because if she was fine, she would have said something else, anything else.

You're not fine. You're lying to me. When are your parents leaving the house?

by Guest Tue Nov 08, 2011 5:45 pm

When Leah's eyes scanned over the new text, a sudden pang of guilt ran through her heart. She knew she'd have to be stern with him, or he'd do something stupid. Very stupid. When she read the last part, she knew it wasn't going to happen. Leah fingered her delicate cheek, before texting him back, her heart heavy.

I'm sorry, Eric. But I can't have you putting yourself in danger. Don't do it. Just don't. After this, my parents aren't going to leave the house. It's useless, Eric. Just go with Mrs. Quinn and try to stay safe, okay? Just do it for me, if not for anybody else. Stay hidden.
