Holy Hell Jail Cell

[Reno]

Lips pressed down determinedly as Ven started to yell back a negative. What did it matter?! They had to go out there anyways! Look until they froze if they had to! It-

He blinked when his brother trialed off though his eyes going wide with some level of realization. What...? "What's wrong...?" He asked. but his answer... was not one Sora liked. "WHAT?! He was in front of a bar and you didn't even go talk to him?!" He was about to cross his arms, maybe given Ven a good glare as he started to explain his actions but it didn't matter. they knew where to look - and pray that Roxas was still there. If he wasn't... he didn't want to think of what would happen then. Maybe he was overreacting... but the feelings were getting worse. It was starting to hurt his heart so bad he wanted to cry.

No this was definitely real.

He frowned though when his brother mentioned his boyfriend. Fuck! "I...I guess... I guess he's gotta go home. Or he can come with us. doesn't matter just... ugh, give me a minute!" He spun around heading towards his room. "Grab the keys to the Bentley!" He heard Ven call back in surprise. Was he kidding!? They didn't have their licenses! And if they wrecked that car... oooh god would dad kill them. He just bought it a few months ago! "We have our permits, who the fuck cares! We don't have time to waste on the bus!" There was urgency in the tone and the order added with the cursing... Sora was dead serious.

He hurried back into his room and one look at his face tipped Hayner off. The other asked tentatively what was wrong and Sora had to breathe deeply to keep himself calm. He needed to stay calm. He crossed over reaching down and kissing him suddenly. "I... something is wrong with Roxas and we just need to go get him. I don't know when we'll be back and you know what my dad'll do to you if he catches you here... I'm really sorry Hayner..." He ran his fingers through the blonde swirls, feeling truly guilty. Their day had been ruined.

[Rikugurl]

Ven shifted uneasily as he heard his older brother swear. He never....swore like that. His eyes widened when he heard the command. "THE BENTLEY!?" He cried, shocked his brother would even THINK about taking his father's 'baby'. He wouldn't shut up for a week about that thing when he bought it. And why was he so happy? Didn't he drill it into his and his brother's heads that there was no reason to get licenses because of all the transportation this city had.

Even if he looked up to his dad... he could be a real hypocrite sometimes.

He shook his head before running down stairs to the foyer, going to a fancy bureau and digging through it to find a set of keys. He grabbed his jacket, pulling it on before rushing out to the heated garage and started up the car. It purred beautifully but Ventus couldn't enjoy running his hands over the steering wheel. All he could think about was his brother...

Hayner blinked as the door was opened, seeing the look on his boyfriend's face. Something was really wrong. "Sora... is everything ok?" He questioned before he was struck by a sudden kiss, melting in the warm arms of his companion. It was easy for the brown eyed boy to frown at the mention of Sirocco, not liking him any too much but when he heard the sound of a car starting up---

"Hey, I have my license, got it last week! I'll come with you..." He smiled, running his own fingers through Sora's hair. "It'll be ok... let's get going!"


A slick black car pulled out from the bar's parking lot and turned to park in the front. The back door opened before a body was suddenly pushed out of the car by fancy shoes. Inside, a man with rosy hair grinned, sitting in between a woman with blonde hair and a certain sever. When the blonde hit the sidewalk, he didn't move but it was easy to tell by the harsh breaths that he was still alive. His clothes were roughed up but other than the fact that he looked like he was going to have a heart attack, it looked like nothing.

"Thank you for the good time, hope to see you again~ Nunca te olvides de mi..." Marluxia chuckled before taking a black bag and throwing it on top of Roxas uncaring before turning to the driver. "To the airport, we have a plane to catch."

The door was closed and the car pulled away from the sidewalk, leaving the blonde helpless on the sidewalk.

[Reno]

Blue eyes blinked and he swore it was Roxas that was making them water, not Hayner who was being so sweet and kind and understanding. "Thank you..." He said, sincerely grateful. He wrapped his arms around him, hugging him tightly but quickly and next thing he knew they were off and down the stairs, pulling on their jackets and hurrying out to the garage. Ven had no problem giving up the wheel to Hayner even though both were nervous about ruining the beauty of a car.

The button was pressed for the garage to come up, and after telling him to step on it Ven relaxed in the back while Sora rode next to the blonde and they sped off out of their home and down the street. The blonde in back gave the directions easily, both he and Sora looking out the windows as if hoping somewhere along the way they might spot the blonde brother of theirs that had gone a little south...


The sharp pains finally stopped, lessening to dull throbbing aches. The area changed, once, twice three times. From some long tunnel with lights in the sky to a small black contained with velvet maroon chairs, to here. To this cold place of with already a layer of snow dusted the ground and was still falling. To here, with some black weight on him and holding him down and the words of the Spanish man echoing in his ears.

Thank you for the good time.

How long had it been since he heard the squeal signifying his departure? How long had he lay here? Minutes? Hours? He had no idea. His fingers scrabbled onto the snow, turning red in the cold and breaking on the concrete just below the surface. He needed to get up though... needed to breath. The pressure on his chest... HE JUST COULDN'T TAKE IT.

He managed to move himself an inch, maybe two up, then his stomach lurched and he heaved, disgusting acidic warmth hitting the ground, melting the snow. His strength left him and he fell into his own mess. He was vaguely aware of how humiliating that was his body shaking as he cried and gasped in air that just wasn't coming.

Why... why wouldn't anyone help him...? He was in so much pain...

There was a bright light suddenly in his face and he was certain he finally died.

Then he heard someone yelling his name. It sounded like himself.

[Rikugurl]

Ven glanced up as he saw two boys running to the car, Hayner coming to his side. The door opened and blue eyes looked into brown. "I have my license, I'll drive." Ven nodded before quickly giving up his seat. "Thanks..." He said softly but sincerely as he got into the back. The seat buckle was pulled over as Hayner got into the front and did the same before adjusting everything to his needs.

The garage door was open and off they went. Ven looked back, seeing the garage door close and the windshield wipers started to clear the snow from the window as they headed down the road. He was glad that he watched the roads the bus took to get down to where his 'job' was so he could guide the two. As they drop down into the Gallows, his mind started to wonder, looking out the window.

Everything was going so great too... Aqua and I....

His eyebrow rose as he saw another nice black car pass them coming the opposite way. That was odd... to see a nice car down here. Well, what the fuck was this Bentley doing down here, right?
He sighed as he looked back at the two before telling Hayner to make a left at the next corner.
As they did, Ven could see the flashing lights of the bar light up the streets as the street lights flickered.

However... there was something laying right in front of the bar.
No... SOMEONE!
"ROXAS!" He called as Hayner drove up and parked the car facing the wrong way but who cared!?

My heart beat so hard... I didn't think I would of been able to breath in the cold air when I shot out of the back seat and across the sidewalk to my brother.

"ROXAS! ROXAAAAAS!" Ven yelled as he came up to his brother, seeing the vomit he had fallen into. It was still warm as he pulled Roxas from the cold sidewalk, holding him close. He looked like a mess, his breathing shallow and his skin pasty. Even if it was freezing out, Roxas was cover in sweat.
Hayner and Sora were next to rush over and as the two brothers questioned their third, Hayner leaned over, taking the bag that had fallen onto the street. He unzipped it slowly, only to reveal... syringes!? Ten of them... all ready to be shot up.

The pale blonde boy gasped before closing the bag up. What was this? Roxas was a.... a drug user or was this some horrible game someone came up with.
"Come on! We need to get him to Hope!" Ventus cried as Sora tried to help him carry the blonde. "I'll get his legs!" Hayner cried as he walked around, picking up Roxas's legs before the three were able to carry the youngest of them all, pulling him into the back seat.

Hayner rushed to get into the driver seat, knowing exactly where Hope was. It was the closet hospital to Sunset Terrance.
As he closed the door and rushed to get his seat belt on, he handed Sora the black back. "This was on his back before Ven moved him." He explained before doing a U-turn and heading towards the hospital.

All the while, Ven held Roxas close, running his hand through his hair as tears ran down his face. "Oh god.... Roxas.... I-it's going to be ok..."

My heart seemed to shatter that night... because as I looked into my brother's helpless and hopeless, I knew that it was my fault. I knew that I could of prevented this. I could of got off the bus and confronted him, told him he needed to stop whatever he was doing... and to find help. That I missed him...
But all I could do was think of myself and my wants. I put my friend... before my family. Even if she was a special friend...

And no matter how much money I made that night... it didn't make me feel any better.

"Someone has to call mom and dad..."

[Reno]

Blue, dull eyes stared out the frosty window, the look on the teen's face horrible. He had always been the most sensitive to his brother's hearts. He usually could pick up on even the simple things, like when something was just bothering them, not hurting them. but in the past few months he just stopped trying to read Roxas. He never told them anything and whenever they asked always said they were overreacting and he was fine.
Sora had let it be. He knew his brother was stubborn. That when he wanted help often he would just come to them eventually. Sora hadn't thought that he should try confronting him himself.

That... maybe he was just too proud this time to ask for help...

He shuddered as they hit the gallows, not even noticing the car as Ven had. However the bar was right in his sights, the annoying pink neon a hard thing to miss. And he too spotted something on the ground. Something that, as they drove close he could see was white and black... in a checkered pattern along the top and down the edges of the pants...

and blonde swirls. "Oh my god!!!" He cried just as Ven screamed. He could hardly wait for his boyfriend to stop the car himself, throwing it open and his feet crunching down on the snow. He heard Hayner behind him, but really didn't leaning over his two brother's, looking down at Roxas. His eyes were lidded and dazed, so unfocused he knew he didn't see them. He seemed to be struggling for breath, his body shaking uncontrollably in his twin;s grasp. "Roxas? Roxas what's wrong!?"

It didn't take long to figure out Roxas couldn't answer. Maybe he couldn't even hear him. He pulled up Roxas' shirt, expecting to find maybe bruises and broken ribs to explain why he was having trouble breathing - maybe he got in a fight?

He found nothing of the sort... except some strange white substance that seemed to have been coated on his stomach in a weird design. It kind of looked like a rose...

The fuck?

He brushed it off, feeling the other's heartbeat. It.. it was slow and unsteady. Even he could tell that. "Something's really wrong..." When Ven heard that he immediately told them they had to get to Hope. Oh god... they had to take their little brother to the hospital...

Sora gasped sharply unable to stop a few tears from falling but nodded and with all their help, they managed to drag Roxas into the car where they laid him across Ven's legs. Sora shakily got in his seat... only for a second surprise to come to him in the form of a little black bag. He stared at it blankly, then up at Hayner wordlessly before opening it and staring inside. Needles. And lots of them. He shakily picked one up, looked at it carefully but he couldn't tell what the cloudy substance was. "Oh god... what has he been taking...?" The brunette shut his eyes hearing his brother speaking to Roxas.

Even he knew drugs weren't supposed to be taken together. He wasn't a fool. He knew that he was smelling beer wafting from his brother, or something alcoholic at least. He had many times when he ran into him when he came home. But he didn't know he was doing anything worse. Oh god, how had he never known...? Never guessed...?

His teary eyes opened, hearing his brother call from behind him. "R-Right..." He dug into his coat pocket, fishing out his cell phone. His hands were shaking as he hit the automatic dial for his parents' work.

Back in the back the younger blonde continued to breath shallowly, curling up against the other body holding him, every movement making his body scream at him. Soothing words spilled over his brain he really didn't comprehend too well. But even in his daze... he knew that feeling in his heart. He knew who had him now and it only made him cry more as he whispered weakly, "V-V-V...en.... h-hur...rts....so....b-bad..."

[Rikugurl]

Tears were even lining Hayner's eyes as he concentrated on the road, trying to think of the quickest way to get to Hope. He looked down at the clock, noting that it was almost 11pm. The buses and trolleys were heading back to the stations, the only public transportation being the railroad. It would buy them a lot of time, that was for sure. He took deeps breaths, almost feeling his boyfriend's pain coming off him.

Right now, he didn't care if Sirocco was pissed off if he came to the hospital and saw him there or was pissed that he drop his car. This was more important than anything!
Still, when they got to the ER, he needed to call his mom to let her know where he was... and she wasn't going to be any happier.

Ven swallowed as he ran his hand through Roxas's hair again, not knowing if rocking him would make him feel any better... or make him throw up. His mind went blank though when he heard Roxas's voice, looking down at him... tears still in his eyes. "W-where does it hurt...?"


In a office that was slowly shutting down, a man was at his desk, closing down his computer before he heard the sound of the phone ringing outside his office. It rang and rang... and continued as the man sighed, pulling on his jacket and grabbing his suit case. It seemed worn but it seemed like it was normal. When he stepped outside, he realized that his secretary was gone, probably doing the last of her copies of the night.

The answering machine kicked on, her pretty voice coming into the room as the message played. He was about tot step out when he froze, hearing his son's voice after the beep. It sounded... really bad. Quickly, he rushed to the phone and picked it up. "Soran!? W-whoa, calm down. What's wrong?" He asked just as his wife stepped into the room.

[Reno]

High, high heels tapped on the floor, a file full of copies and other documents in her hand. It was time to head home which she was very grateful. Her feet were killing her and she was exhausted. It had been a long day, but a successful one. They had finally won over the HOU account and they would be signing the deal Friday.

Everyone was gonna get one hell of a Christmas bonus this year, that was for sure.

However, she paused when she came in the small office leading to her husband's... and found Sirocco on her phone. What...?
"'Rocco?" She asked softly, walking over but the minute she heard him mention her son's name... and in a panic she ran over, dropping the files all over the floor. It didn't matter. She leaned up against him, listening in. Oh god... Soran sounded so horrible...


Blue eyes slitted closed, breathing harshly as he heard the question. Tried to comprehend it. It seemed to take forever, his mind sluggish to pick up the meanings of the words, as if he was learning them all for the first time again. He finally did get it though, and he whispered softly, "E...Eve...rywhere...." He slurred, droziness overcoming him. "D...down...."

His eyes closed again, not even hearing what the other said to him if he said anything at all. He just wanted everything to go away. And in the depths of sleep were promises of no pain, of warmth and comfort, of a trip away from his worries that took no charge.

Sora's eyes shut hearing Roxas speaking but so faint it was like he wasn't even there. what if he passed away tonight, in this car with them? What if they never made it to the hospital before...
"V-Ven don't let him fall asleep!" The brunette called, hearing the droning ring continued in his ears before finally his mother picked up. "MOM-"

But he cut himself off when he realized it was only the answering machine.

His lips trembled. Of all the nights for them to leave early. He heard the signifying beep at the end. "Mom...p-please still be there... you...you got to c-call m-" He was cut off again when the phone clicked... and then he heard his full name spoken by not a woman but a man's voice he had grown up all his life with. "D-Dad!" He sobbed in relief. "Oh god dad! You need to get over here. I don't know whathappenedbut-" He started to babble incomprehensibly, but his father interrupted him. He took a deep shuddery breath, tears filling his eyes more and spilling in hot waves down his cheeks. He couldn't stop crying he was so scared.
"W...We... Ven and I felt a bad f-feeling from Roxas... so we went t-to go find him. We...We found him outside a bar laying on t-the ground. He...He was all pale and hardly b-breathing..." The brunette sobbed softly. "W-We're taking him the Hope right now b-but I don't know what's wrong. He had... been drinking and there were some drugs I think... he mixed them and... Dad I'm scared... I don't know what's going to happen..."

[Rikugurl]

Fingers gripped onto the steering wheel as Hayner heard his boyfriend next to him sobbing. He felt helpless, knowing that there was nothing he could do to make him feel better right now.

"Down...?" Ven asked, not knowing what Roxas meant by that. He could feel Roxas's body loosen up though as he sank into him but he nearly jumped out of his skin when Sora told him to keep Roxas awake. In a way, he wished Roxas could sleep... maybe it would take the pain away but...
He shook his brother lightly, wiping away some sweat in his face. "Come on Roxas... stay with me. Keep talking. We're almost there and the doctor and nurses will help you."


Over the phone, Sirocco's eyes widened as Sora took a deep breath... and split the beans. Alcohol? Drugs? W-what was Soran talking about!? Finding him at a bar and... He shook his head as he thought, trying not to ask unnecessary questions, at least not yet. "W-where are you headed? Where are you now? Can we pick you up anywhere or---" He was cut off, Sora confessing that Hayner was driving them all to Hope.
That was enough for Sirocco to hear. "Alright, we're on our way."

He hung up the phone before taking his wife's hand, pulling her out of the office and down the hallway. He heard her cry and ask what was wrong, what was happening and all her husband could say was: "Roxas is headed to the hospital."
They quickly got into the elevator and got ready for the cold night they would step into as they pulled on their jackets, mittens and hats. When the door opened, they rushed to the door that led to the parking lot and off towards the car.

They were quick to speed down the levels and slip in their pass for the bar to come up before getting on the highway exit towards Hope Hospital.


A car didn't take long to pull into the ER parking lot and up to the automatic doors in the front. Sora was the one to run out of the car and into the building, asking for a stretcher and some help. Two paramedics rushed out with a stretcher, Ven opening the door to let them take him off his lap. He quickly got out as well, following them as he and Sora went inside.
Meanwhile, Hayner was left to find a parking place.

The twin brothers followed their youngest until they couldn't anymore. They just stood there, watching as the swinging doors went back and forth.

Inside the ER, the boy was place in a bed that was open, nurses rushing around before getting fluids and others things near him. They pulled off his clothes, noticing all the injection marks in his arm. It was a bit difficult to put the IV in but skilled nurses did it quickly before another needle found a vein in his arm, and in a few minutes, the boy's body went limp as he was placed under anesthetics. Now... he could no longer have to deal with the pain.

[Reno]

”Mmm….” Roxas groaned as he was shaken, flinching a bit even though the touch was light and harmless. At least Ven thought it was but his shirt was hiding bruises. Some of which were caused by needles… others by hands. “P-Pl…ease…” He mumbled almost drunkenly, but his other self continued to coax him awake every time he started to drift off. He just wanted to escape… to sleep… to make it all stop hurting. He didn’t know… each time he tried he was risking never waking up again.


Bryna’s eyebrows twisted as the two spoke not able to make out anything but her son’s sobbing but her husband was scaring her. What did he mean they needed to get somewhere? Was Sora hurt? Was anyone hurt? What was going on? The phone was hung up abruptly, making her snap to attention, her worried eyes finding her husband and before she could say a word he was leading her out of the room, both of them making footprints over all the paperwork she had dropped. It was the least of their worries.

“The HOSPITAL!? WHY?!” She called, but Sirocco just shook his head, telling her he wasn’t sure, that Sora had said some things but it didn’t make sense. She couldn’t, for the life of her, get him to admit what those things were. So she let him have his way, just falling into her seat and holding herself, hardly able to feel the warmth of the heater as it came on and they went peeling down the highway. It didn’t seem to matter, because all she could concentrate on the fact that her youngest boy was hurt.


There were some light sniffles between the boys, and Sora rubbed at his eyes, taking a few more deep breathes as his father started to ask more questions. He swallowed hard and even through all this he couldn’t help but crack a little smile as he revealed the next piece of information. “H-Hayner’s d-driving…” Now his dad, his mother, practically the whole world knew that Hayner was his boyfriend. Sora wasn’t afraid of who he was and was certainly not shy about admitting who he was dating. Now it was just too bad he didn’t get to add ‘and in your brand new car’ before his dad told him they were on their way. He surprised he’d get more of a kick out of his expression in person.

That is… if Roxas…

“O-Okay dad… see you soon.” He heard the click and shut his own cell phone, before sighing and just letting it fall to the ground, hearing it thump lightly on the nicely carpeted interior. But it still didn’t mask the noises of his brother… struggling to live in the backseat.

It was thoughts like these that made him go dashing out of the car and into the ER practically shouting for help. It really wasn’t hard to find it and soon he was leading them back out to the car, answering some technical worker’s questions as he did so and watched them drag his brother out of the car. He tried to explain, to the best of his ability, what he thought was wrong as well as listing out anything his brother was allergic too (‘Only roses. Deathly allergic to roses.’ Which made him wonder if that pattern on his stomach was a cruel joke) and what he knew of his blood type and other little things. It was a good thing they had given blood once under their mothers orders… a way to ‘give’ to the community. He and Roxas would never do it again of course. They had a shared fear of needles…

Or at least… he thought they did. But he was being proven wrong continuously today it seemed.

He had just gotten to the end of the questions, the final words being that he could fill out the paperwork with the receptionist and a doctor would fill him in when he could. It left him and Ven just standing there, staring as the doors swung closed and their brother just disappeared…

Why did things keep changing? Blue eyes opened a little wider, his vision covered by black and white dots, then the white won, sucking up the black and burned into his retinas as he blurred through another long tunnel. People were shouting all around him, their voices a blur of noise. But he felt… so cold. Where… was he going? Why was he separating from his other half? And why did they keep touching him and pulling him around?! He wanted to tell them to stop, that he didn’t like it and to make them bring him back to his twin…

His fingers twitched weakly trying to reach for him but little dumbbells must have been on his fingers because he could hardly make them twitch. And then they started to undress him and his breathing picked up, shallow gasping bursts of panic. “S-S…stop….” He whimpered weakly, trying to squirm from the hands touching him, feeling him all over. Oh god even down – STOP!![/b] “L-Leave… m-me…alone!” But no one heard him. No one listened. And then he felt something sharp poke him and it was like hell all over again.

He was crying again by the time they left him alone. He didn’t know why, especially since he could not find the breath for it. But something was too familiar about this and so very wrong. Why wasn’t Ven here? Or Sora? He needed them… needed…. Someone….

His eyelids grew heavy and then he was gone all over again.


A pen scratched lightly on white paper, blue eyes narrowed tiredly as he leaned against a blonde with curly hair, another blonde with swirling hair leaning into him. The pen hesitated and Sora sighed slightly irritable. He didn’t know how to answer half these questions – especially for the medical insurance… He let the clipboard fall into his lap and sighed again, nuzzling his head lightly against Hayner’s shoulder. He smiled just a little when he felt a warm hand reach down and curl around his fingers warmly.

He had felt it again. Just moments after they had taken him away, he felt Roxas reaching out for them, hurt and afraid and lost… only this time it was also accompanied by a wild panic, as if someone was trying to kill him. Ven had made quite a scene about it and practically tried to tear down the two white fire-proof doors with his bare hands, but Sora held him back – and luckily Hayner came in at the just the right time to help him. Even though he wanted to go tearing into the hospital with a machine gun himself with those emotions running through him… he knew most of it was because Roxas didn’t know at all what was going on. He was confused and a bit irrational and in a lot of pain. Didn’t understand that they were trying to help him. Of course he would panic.

It was only a small comfort for both of them. Nothing compared to being with him… seeing him… making sure he was alright and keeping away anyone who was out to hurt him. They already… failed at doing that once and the guilt was already eating them alive.

Thankfully… Roxas had calmed down a few minutes later and that was more reassuring then anything.

Heavy lids fell over blue eyes, wanting nothing more than to doze off, missing the door opening and closing, allowing in two new people. It had been a long day and would be an even longer night he was sure. But then a voice startled him. One he recognized without a problem because he had grown up with it all his life.
“Soran!? Ventus?!”
His eyes fluttered open, his fingers squeezing Hayner’s closer when he tried to shy away.
“Mom?” The brunette blinked, Ven leaving his side to go to his mother, the two sharing a hug.
“Oh, what in the world is going on!? Your father hasn’t said a word to me! Where’s your brother?! Is he okay, have they said anything?” [/color]

[Rikugurl]

Doors opened, brown, tired eyes looking up only to gasp as was about to pull his hand away but the one he was holding only clung on tighter. Hayner looked down at Sora... getting the idea as he clenched back.

Ventus was out of his seat though, running over to his mother and even if he was 16, he didn't hesitate giving her a big hug, sighing shakily as she ran her fingers through his hair. He walked her over to where Hayner and Sora were still sitting, grouping together to stay warm from the bite outside. "W-we had a bad feeling and we knew... Roxas was in trouble so... we went to go find him and... we found him in front of a bar... he was... sweating and could hardly talk..." Ven got out before hot tears ran down his face, unable to say anymore for he knew it wouldn't come out except as a choke.

Hayner swallowed, looking at the door where Roxas had disappeared. "We found some... needles on him too... and his breath smelt like alcohol..." That was enough before Byrna couldn't take it anymore and sat down, tears rolling down her face.

That was when Sirocco came in, slightly covered in show and pulling his coat closer as he sighed, seeing his family... AND Sora's BOYFRIEND. Blue eyes glared into brown before Sirocco came up to them, seeing the clip board in his eldest lap before taking it, looking over it. "Any news?"
They all shook their head before he sighed, sitting next to his wife. he filled out the rest that was needed before handing it to the woman at the front desk.


It seemed like a life time but at the same time, it felt like time didn't even move. A woman was rushed through at one point, a man rushing after her as it was easy to tell that he saw in labor. For some reason, it reminded me of Aqua, not that she was pregnant or even fat to be pregnant but... heh. Maybe she was right. Maybe I'm growing up to fast. I shouldn't be thinking about a family at 16.

It was hard to have fun and stuff when your parents run half the city and the only real friend you have is someone who is always working.

Guess it just wasn't meant to be....

The blonde teen was sleeping up against his brunette one... who n turn was sleeping up against Hayner who was sleeping against the wall. A woman in a white lab coat walked out of the double doors, looking around to see the large family. She was quiet as she came over, holding up a clipboard. "Are you... Roxas Holani's parents?"
Sirocco looked up at her, nodding. "We are."
"Hello. I'm Doctor Yuna. I supervised your son along with my joint partner. May I have a word with you in my office? We're like to discuss some things."

[Reno]

Fingers clung a little tighter as blue eyes stared his boyfriend down, but Hayner didn't flinch away or even break his gaze. Sora sighed as it ended, but could have kissed the blonde for being so brave and strong today. For him, for his brothers, and against his dad...

He handed the clipboard over and then nuzzled up against his boyfriend's shoulder, his eyes falling shut again hearing them answer his dad's only question before he took a seat. He kind of felt bad for his boyfriend though... being stuck here. It wasn't like he could drive the Bentley home. His mother might have a heart attack and think he needed to go to juvie for theft; she almost sent him there when he told her he was gay.

But now with his parents here... "I can ask my mom to drive you home..." He mumbled to the blonde quietly, knowing he'd already done so much for them and deserved a rest.
The answer he received almost made him cry. He wasn't leaving, not until he knew everything was okay. That he'd be okay. Eyelids rapidly blinked away tears and an arm subtly wrapped around the other in a hug, a silent sweet kiss being pressed to his cheek.
"Thank you..."


However the hours were long for the teenagers who spent there day either being at school and then having some fun, or for Ven just having 'fun' period. They were all asleep an hour later, Sora being the first to fall asleep, Hayner second and then finally Ven.

Bryna didn't let it mind her, a handkerchief rung in her hands and dabbing away her tears every now and again. It was long after the shock of the news had hit her. Her youngest son was doing drugs and had somehow gotten himself badly hurt on them. Possibly he overdosed... but how long had he been on them? How did he get down there, into a bar without needing to be of age and knew where to get this stuff?

Was it because she was too inattentive? Had she not played a big enough role in her boy's life? Was it because she took them out of Daycare and had them watched by only a maid? Was he suffering depression? Did he not feel happy?! She sniffed rubbing away some more tears and feeling more guilty by the second. She felt like a horrible mother...

She looked up though when she heard footsteps tapping on the ground and finally a doctor stopped in front of them. She wanted to start shouting at her for answers, wanted to finally get the chance to see her baby and make sure he was okay. But she didn't say a word, only stood as she was asked - though when she reached out to wake up her boy's Yuna declined the motion, saying it was something they probably weren't ready to hear just yet. Beyond her better judgment... she nodded and followed.

They were lead down a hall into a small but nicely decorated office, the colors full of warm tones but it did little to wipe away the chill in her skin as she took a seat shakily beside her husband. She looked up at Yuna, seeing her picking up a file on her desk with her boy's name scrawled on it. "T-Tell me... is my baby gonna be okay?"

[Rikugurl]

Yuna walked down the hall, showing the two parents into her office before closing the door. "Please, have a seat." She said as she walked around her desk, Sirocco pulling out one of the chairs for his wife to sit down before getting a chair himself. Yuna started going through the files, looking at them as if she needed to clear up some information.

Sirocco looked around the desk, seeing that her full name was Yuna Besaid, M.D.
"Your father is Braska?" He asked, seeing her look up and smile. "Yea..."

Braska was the priest in the church we use to go to when we were young...

Yuna looked at the woman besides her husband, sighing some before sitting down at the desk across from them. "In all... you're son is alright. We were able to flush out the poisons in his body but some of it has been sent down to the lab to find out exactly what was making your son so ill."
She flipped through a page, sighing before clasping her fingers together.

"Mr and Mrs. Holani... We have found... a few things when we examined your son. His Blood Alcohol test came to be 0.05 which means that he had been drinking. He also flushed out a drug in his blood, testing it to reveal that it was a low dose of diacetylmorphine, or better known as heroin. However, the number of marks on his arm makes us believe that he is a frequent user of the drug. His nasal cavity is also a bit abused probably from 'snorting' it."

Sirocco's jaw was hanging open, a man of etiquette couldn't even contain all this information. He pulled his wife close as she began to sob, rubbing her back. How could Roxas... do this sort of thing. "So... did he overdose?" The father finally asked but the look on the doctor's face... was grim, as if she had more information that was more damaging than what they just heard.

Still, she waited until Bryna could get a hold of herself before looking down at the chart.
"No... we believe that his drink was spiked with either flunitrazepam, gamma hydroxybutyric or ketamine but we cannot be 100% sure until the lab report comes back. However, seeing things like this before, I would have to take an educated guess that it was gamma hydroxybutyric due to the side effects he was showing."

The parents were silent as she flipped the page in her chart before shaking her head. "My medical partner did a physical exam, and she reported that there was a lot of bruising on his abdomen and thighs. Your son became hysterical when she tried examine his lower regions which made her issue a.... rape exam."
Sirocco's eyes widened as his wife suddenly screamed, pulling her close.
"And... it came back positive. He has bruising around his rectum and rips in his anal tissue. Unfortunately, we were not able to collect a sample of semen so his offender used a condom."

[Reno]

The mother tried to stay calm as she heard her little boy was okay, but from the tone in the doctor's voice she knew this was not all. no, she knew without a doubt that this was about to get a whole lot worse.

And it did. Alcohol? Heroin!? She shut her eyes, shaking her head as she cried. How did her boy get this stuff? Why was he taking it? Didn't they give him everything he needed and wanted to be happy? Didn't he know they loved him and didn't want him to hurt himself this way?

She was able to get a handle on her emotion after a minute or so, taking a deep breath and ready to hear more. But this news was worse. Much, much worse.

The minute she heard the word, remembering years of her mother and father drilling in to never walk home alone in the dark, to always carry pepper spray, to never talk to strangers... she screamed. Rape?! Rape?! SOMEONE RAPED HER LITTLE BOY?!

"That CAN'T BE!" She cried hysterically, "You have to be lying! No one... No! No one would hurt my baby like that!!"

[Rikugurl]

"Bryna! Get a hold of yourself!" Sirocco called as he pulled her down into the chair as she was about to lunge at the reports herself. He pulled her closer, rubbing her back. He swallowed, not believing it himself and if he didn't know that this woman was the daughter of a priest, he would hire investigators to look through the medical record to make sure everything she said was true.
"Maybe your assistant was wrong. Maybe he fell down and gained those wounds."

The woman shook her head. "No sir, I double checked myself and the bruising on his abdomen and thighs correspond with her findings. There was also semen on your son's chest that belonged to him, proving that he ejaculated. Of course, it was against his will and just a bodily response to the sexual act. We will do our best to send the material to the police so they can make a case and hopefully find who did this to your son. In the meanwhile, I suggest that he is placed into counseling and---"

"No! No son of mine will be put through counseling. This is... our fault. It's because we're never home and we think that everything with our boys is fine since they never tell us anything. Now I realized that they can't because of our absence. I want you to transfer my son to the best rehab center in Twilight. I don't care how expensive it is.... He needs to be monitored, put in his own private room and get the treatment he needed. He needs to recover without any... leftover mental crap that some loony doctor forgot to touch on."

Yuna was a bit pulled back, frowning at the man's decision. She glanced at the woman, seeing her still crying on her husband's arm. "Mrs---"
"Can't you see she's too upset to discuss this matter? She will agree with me on this so just give me the papers to sign the release to the center."
The doctor was still hesitant before sighing. "Sir, do you really want to lock him up like---"
"This was his choice and I won't allow him to make me feel sorry for him. Even if me and my wife haven't been around, we still have a phone and an address. The boy needs to be away and think about what he did..."

Yuna frowned more, not liking Sirocco's view on this at all... but still being a minor... she had no choice but to hand him the paper of release.

[Reno]

The paper crinkled as it passed hands, and a signature was sprawled with overly runny pen so the named smeared a little, black dots running over the page and making it look more like Slroooo Holdnl not
Sirocco Holani. Yet it was still readable enough and one that made it official; the poor unfortunate soul would be going into rehab the moment he was billed for clean health from the hospital,

Unfortunately for the one giving the signature, he didn’t realize he had also just signed his own death warrant.


“YOU DID WHAT?!” The scream was so loud everyone in the ER had to turn and look and even a few of them had glares for the disruptive brunette but for once Sora didn’t care as he stared down his father (even if he was shorter). Not far away were his boyfriend and Ven, his mother speaking to the blonde.
Though she had trailed off as well in lieu of her son’s outburst. She and Sirocco had decided they would tell the boys about the drugs… and even going to Rehab. However the… the other part… the worst part… they wouldn’t say anything. That… that would be up to Roxas. But it seemed, even without knowing that, Sora felt they made a mistake.

“So let me get this… perfectly straight.” He said trying to keep his voice level… but that was impossible at this moment, his voice rising with every word. “You decided to send my brother, your son to rehab without even… talking to him? Talking to us!? You decided to send him away… without even SEEING HIM!? That’s BULLSHIT!”
He pointed to his dad, shaking his head. “People spend years in rehab dad! What about his school, his friends, his LIFE!? A family makes these decisions together dad and yet what you decide suddenly you run this family!?”

He father started to bark back. He DID run the family and no son of his would be – “No!” Sora snapped. “Damn it dad, for once in I don’t even know how long Roxas was calling for us. He needed me and Ven today; was honestly asking for our help! He needs us, all of us! Our support! Our love!”
He hesitated before aiming for a lower blow, his eyes dark as he let free some of the things he kept silent about even when he was almost faced with the streets years ago. “Instead of giving him that – of even giving him the chance to ask for it! - you’re going to… to throw him out like he’s trash just because… because he doesn’t fit into your stupid image of the perfect family! Right!? If we’re just not your perfect little heirs then oh well, let’s just cast them out the door and pretend they never existed right!? Hell, might even be better, less money to spend on your worthless whelps!”
