Heey! This is a story about Ellis, Nick and Keith, yeah as the summary said. Nick hates Keith, mostly because his jealous but wont admit it. Please enjoy :)


Ellis opened his eyes and saw the wheel in front of him. He touched his head which was feeling kind of weird, when he looked at his hand he saw blood running down his fingertips.

"What the hell.." He said hoarsely. His head was hurting bad making him wince. He looked around finding Nick lying halfway out of the passenger window, Ro was lying in the backseat and Coach was lying outside the car. Ellis opened the car door and fell to the ground. He gasped as a sharp pain shoot through his body. A stick was pointing out of his stomach. He grabbed the car door and tried to get up. Failing a couple of times before he was on his feet.

"Fuck.." He groaned, and limped over to Nick. "Nick" He whispered. Nick lifted his head and looked at Ellis. "What kind of driving was that?" He hissed through his breath. Ellis sighed in relief, Nick was himself.

"Sorry 'bout that" He tried to grinned but it turned into a grimace. He clenched his stomach and whimpered. Nick was not badly hurt, just a few scratches in his face and a bruised hand. He looked at the younger man with a worried glance.

"You ok?"

"Yeah. I'm fine" Ellis whispered still bending over, clenching his stomach.

"Fuck!" Coach coughed and got to his feet. "That's the wildest thing I've ever seen!" He limped over to the two. "Ellis, you've got to be the best driver ever" He grinned. Coach was not badly hurt either, just a bruise on his forehead and some cuts on his arm. Ellis looked at him weakly. "Heh… sure" He whispered. Rochelle cursed from the car and the door flew open.

"Jesus! My head hurts like hell!"

"Nice to see you're up Ro" Coach smiled. She shook her head and touched her shoulder.

"What the hell happened?" Nick asked and looked at the car crushed into a tree.

"Tank happened" Ellis coughed.

"Seems like the car wont be able to go any further.." Nick sighed and looked around. "Where the fuck are we?"

"In the middle of a fucking forest" Rochelle sighed and removed her shoes massaging her feet.

Nick got out of the car and was standing in front of a panting Ellis. He forced Ellis to stand up and cursed as he saw the wound.

"Shit… Anymore first aid around here?" He asked worried.

"Just one more, why?" Rochelle grabbed the last first aid pack and threw it to Nick.

"I could need some help" Nick didn't answer Rochelle question. he just helped Ellis over to the cars backseat.

"Oh my…" Rochelle gasped as she saw the state of Ellis.

"Guys, guys! Please, no need.. Just carry on without me… I almost got you killed, and I'll only be slowing you down" Ellis whispered and tried to smile.

"Shut it overalls" Nick hissed and forced Ellis to sit down, trying to remove his t-shirt without pulling the stick out. The wound was bleeding heavily, but thankfully the stick were not too deep inside or stuck for that matter. Nick removed his white suit and tore off some pieces, making them as a pressure against the wound. Ellis threw his head back moaning in pain. Rochelle was sitting behind him trying to calm him down.

"Coach, we got any liquor or something inside the car" Nick looked at Coach.

"A half empty bottle, will that do?"

"Yes, give it to me"

Coach walked over to Nick and gave him the bottle.

"This will sting a little bit ok" Nick looked at the redneck. "Rochelle hold him tight" Rochelle nodded. Nick grabbed the stick and carefully pulled it out of Ellis's body. "Try not to scream, but in case… Coach grab a weapon and get ready to fight those bastards" Nick looked from Ellis to Coach. Coach nodded and grabbed a shotgun.

Ellis whimpered and bit his lip. "Almost out" Nick said calming. Ellis let out a yelp and almost ripped the seat covers off. "There" Nick said and threw the stick to the ground. Ellis clenched his stomach, but Nick removed his hand, pressing one of the shirt pieces to his wound. Ellis looked at his hand covered in blood and hid his face in his hand.

"You'll be ok sweetie" Rochelle hugged him tightly. Nick looked at Ellis which was shaking in pain. He grabbed the liquor and poured it onto another piece of the shirt.

"Ellis, can you take a little more pain?" Nick cupped his chin betweens his thump and index finger. Ellis looked at him with red rimmed eyes and nodded weakly. It pained Nick to see the boy like this. He removed the blood stained shirt piece and placed the new one covered in liquor on the wound. Ellis's eyes widened and he cried out in pain. Rochelle placed her hand over Ellis's mouth. Nick clenched his teeth and opened the first aid pack, and started to wrapping the bandages around the wound.

After a while Ellis calmed down lying in Rochelle's arms. He was exhausted. Nick was sitting in front of him, gently stroking his cheek.

"We can't stay here" Coach sighed.

"I know, can you walk?" He looked at Ellis.

"Yeah" Ellis whispered hoarsely.

"Good, we need to move" Nick grabbed Ellis's arm helping him to his feet. Ellis stumbled and almost fell, but Rochelle grabbed him and allowed him to lean on her.

"Thanks" He smiled softly.

"You're welcome Ellis" She smiled back. Nick sent her a glare before he followed Coach.

"Ro.. I'm going to faint…" Ellis whispered. Rochelle looked at Ellis with worried eyes. "Jus leave me here…" He fell forward and landed on the ground. The last thing he heard before the darkness took over his mind where Rochelle screaming his name, then nothing.


Ellis sighed and woke up, finding himself lying in a bed. He looked around, finding the room was different from the other safe rooms he's ever been inside. With gritted teeth he got out of the bed, searching for his clothes, unable to find them. Instead it was lying new ones folded on a chair in front of him. He grabbed to clothes, blue jeans, a white shirt and new socks. He sighed again, not really his style, but he didn't mind. Better than to walk around naked. The clothes were fitting him perfectly, he looked at himself in the mirror.

"Shit… miss mah, old clothes already"

"Not happy with the choice of clothes?" A familiar voice appeared from the doorway.

"Keith?" Ellis turned around and looked at the older man standing in front of him.

"The one and only" Keith grinned. Ellis limped over to him and gave him a hug.

"Thank god you're alive!"

"I would say the same thing 'bout you El" Keith smiled gently. "And about the clothe, your sis' and Ro, I think her name was, picked them out"

"Liz?" Ellis's eyes widened.

"Yup, and of course mah brother Dave" Keith grinned.

"They're all alive!" Ellis breathed.

"Yeah, and so are you" Keith looked at his friend with a concerned glance. "The wound did not look pretty, but you're friend Nick, which seems to hate me, patched you up, and stitched the wound together"

"Nick did that?"

"Yup, when you fell back in the forest, the wound had apparently reopened.. well that's what Nick said" Keith sighed.

"I see, well sorry to worry you then" Ellis grinned, the grin Keith had missed so badly.
