Defective Friendship!
Chapter 2:-
Howard drove as fast as the speeding limit would let him; he thanked his lucky stars and God himself the traffic was on his side. Since it was Christmas the traffic was really busy just like every year. He had never heard Sheldon sound so damn desperate before...not even when Leonard came back and never told him...why was he the only one who noticed how crushed poor Sheldon looked. Saying that how long had Raj been sick, Sheldon said Leonard couldn't hear him...that means he was there, so why was Sheldon not heard, this was Sheldon after all?
Howard drove up the path and rushed to the door as fast as he could, running up the flights of steps.
Meanwhile Raj had become completely unconscious in Sheldon's arms, his body was limp and his eyes were shut firmly. Sheldon just carried on hugging him hoping Howard would be there soon...it was all he could do. Really he wanted to go over and smack both Penny and Leonard because all they ever did was fight...why could they just...snap out of it, Raj needed them...he needed them.
KNOCK! KNOCK!
"THERE'S SOMEONE AT THE DOOR LEONARD!"
"I CAN HEAR PENNY, MY EARS ARE WORKING FINE"
"At least you can hear something..." Sheldon muttered frowning.
Leonard answered the door to a very worried sick looking Howard, but before he could even ask what was wrong he rushed right past him and straight to Sheldon and Raj.
"YOU OK SHELDON (Sheldon nods slowly very upset) RAJ...RAJ!"
"Wow...Sheldon what happened?" Leonard asks sounding very concerned, Howard turns round and surprises Leonard with the glare he held...fear and betrayal. Penny walks in and Howard folds his arms glaring at her as well.
"I-"
"Apparently according to Sheldon, you and Penny were fighting...Raj had a panic attack, and Sheldon tried calling you for help not getting an answer, care to explain why my best friend is unconscious on top of Sheldon and an ambulance isn't hear sorting it out?" Penny looked horrified and guilty she ran over to the phone and dialled an ambulance looking like she was going to collapse into tears, no one stopped her. Leonard also looked very guilty he couldn't look at Howard whose face was set and his arms where folded, his feet shuffled about and his eyes were on the floor.
"WELL!"
Leonard flinched as his friend raised his voice feeling very upset he tried to answer his voice cracking, Howard found it hard to feel sorry for his struggling friend at the moment though.
"I I-um"
"Have you suddenly gone death or stupid...or maybe you just stopped caring...Eh?!" what he just said was way too harsh and he knew it, but he just couldn't find it within himself to give a shit, his best friend was probably dying and Leonard and Penny could have helped Sheldon who was looking more and more distraught over all the arguments.
