Okay, people! Not the best summuary, but, really, I didn't know how to summurize it without giving too much away. I actually have up to chapter 4 finished as I am typing this, but I am going to wait a couple of days before I add chapter 2. The first two chapters are pretty short, though... Anyway, enjoy! :-)

Broken

Chapter 1 Crash

If you were to ask him exactly when he started loving his friend, who was four years his senior, Oz would not be able to answer. All he knew now was that he was in love with Gil. He decided, on his twentieth birthday, that he would tell the man. That was a week ago, and was just now telling him. Or, did five minutes ago- no, now it was several hours ago-, to only have the man stutter and say sorry. What a way to get rejected.

But now he had his mask in place, stronger than it had ever been, so that no one would suspect; he was at Sharon's house- such a good place to tell you feelings to someone; at a house not belonging to either of them- hanging out with her, Break, Oscar, Alice and Gil- just thinking the name at the moment was making his heart pang.

"So, Oz, I have a question for you." Sharon asked Oz randomly, making him blink and glance at her in question. "I know this was a week ago, but why did you break up with your girlfriend?" Oz shrugged at that.

"Well, I found out that she was cheating on me with one of her ex's, of all people, so that is why." He said, not really feeling like thinking about it. He wasn't upset over it- he hadn't been too in love with her- but he still didn't like that; was he just not good enough? What was wrong with him?

"How did I not know that was why?" She muttered, as his ex was a slut. Oh well.

"Oz, why do you always date girls like that?" Alice growled, glaring at him while taking a quick bite of the ribs she had gotten.

"I don't know, Alice, I don't know." He said, laughing. At that moment, the clock in the hallway chimed, showing that it was already ten; a quick glance outside to the pitch black scenery agreed with that. "Well, I actually have to be leaving; I have to do something at home quickly, and I also have to wake up early tomorrow for work." He said, smiling. For some reason, a small frown crossed briefly over Alice's face, but before anyone could inquire as to why it happened it was gone, and she continued eating.

"Well, then, send me a message when you get home, and be sure to drive safe, for once." Oscar said, smiling. Oz nodded, saying bye to everyone, and then leaving after everyone said goodbye and he had grabbed his helmet.

Once Oz finally got outside, he let out a sigh, glad that he had somehow managed to spend all that time near Gil without being upset- especially after the rejection. With another sigh, he put on his helmet, walking over to his motorcycle and getting on it. He hadn't been planning on staying so late, but time had just gone by fast, somehow.

"Why doesn't he like me? Why would he like me?" He thought, a deep frown coming over his lips as he started up his bike, deciding that, for once, he would actually drive the speed limit, and not twice over it; after all, it was dark out.

Several minutes later, he slowed down, stopping at a stop sign and glancing both ways. He hated this intersection, as one of the ways had a hill so that you couldn't see any traffic until they were there; even worse was that he had to come this way every day as his apartment. With a sigh of irritation he decided that no one was coming, moving forward and starting to go through the intersection.

That is, until something stopped him.

Half an hour later, at the Rainsworth house, Oscar sighed, glancing down at his phone as if it would suddenly go off with a message or call from Oz.

"He still hasn't called?" Alice asked, frowning.

"No, he hasn't." Oscar said, his frown increasing when Break asked why he was so worried. "Well, it's already been an hour since Oz left, and his house is only half an hour away. He wouldn't forget to call or message me, as he has a fantastic memory." With a sigh he glanced at his phone which, at that moment, went off with a call. He almost got excited, until he realized that the number wasn't Oz's, but what looked like the number of the hospital in town.

"Hello?" He asked after answering it, frowning as he walked over to the window.

"Yes, is this Oscar Vessalius?" The woman on the other end asked.

"Yes, this is he." He replied, his worry increasing.

"Well, I have bad news for you, and you might want to sit down." He frowned, asking for her to go on. What she said next made him fall into the seat he was standing in front of, his heart nearly failing. "Your nephew, Oz, got into a car accident."


Okay, please don't kill me for leaving it off like that; it's going to be worse the next chapter. Anyway, please review!
