Love and Insanity

Ellie vomited in the toilet at home. She had gotten so worked up about Jason and Matt keeping Laura's arrival a secret that she started having a panic attack. She had to sit on a bench and call her mother. Instead of going to Jason like she planned, she was home vomiting and emotionally rattled.
"Darling, what's wrong? Why did you say everything was Matt and Jason's fault?" Mrs. Martin asked from outside. She was very worried. Ellie was pregnant. She didn't need this kind of stress. She was going to give Matt a piece of her mind later.
"Forget it mom," Ellie told her.
Mrs. Martin sighed. She had no idea what was going on.
But I plan to find out, Mrs. Martin decided.
Just then the front door opened. "Mom?" he asked seeing her car in the drive way, "you're home already?"
"Matt, honey? Please sit I have to talk to you."
A mildly surprised Matt sat on the couch. Mrs. Martin came to him and sat down. "Ellie's sick and very upset," she revealed, "do you have any idea why?"
Matt blanched. "Um, no, no idea." He didn't want to rat on his sister. Plus she'd pulverize him for setting mom on her.
"Matt, she said your name and Jason's as the culprits of her current state."
"Oh, seriously sis?" Matt groaned.
"Tell me what's going on right now!" Mrs. Martin ordered.
Martin looked away. He didn't want to lie to his mother but how else would he keep Ellie and everyone else out of trouble?
Just then there was the sudden thundering off feet and Ellie dashed in. She looked flushed and sickly but she was still before them. "Forget about it mom, it was nothing. Nothing at all."
Matt's face burned. He couldn't believe Ellie was brushing it off. "Nothing? You blasted a girl at the mall for no reason. Laura's in tears and you don't even care!"
Damn it! Ellie thought.
"What? Who's Laura?" Mrs. Martin asked incredulously.
"A friend, Ellie called her a tramp because she hangs around Jason," Matt accused.
Mrs. Martin gasped. She never expected such jealous behaviour from any of her children. "Ellie Martin! What do you have to say for yourself?"
"I…I just want to be left alone!" Ellie stalled then wailed and ran to her room. She flung herself on her bed and started to sob. She hated Laura more than ever. Everything seemed to be settling down before she popped into the picture.
"Honey," Mrs. Martin said venturing in.
"Go away!" Ellie screamed and flung a pillow.
"Well," Mrs. Martin said and stormed out.
Ellie stuffed her face into her pillows and moaned. Today was really going to suck.
Bug ran into the hospital. He'd heard over the radio that the rehabilitation section for mutants had been attacked. Further news wasn't forthcoming and he needed to know if Bobby was hurt.
"Over there sir," a blonde nurse said to an elderly man. Bug decided to try asking her.
"Lady I need to know if…"
"Ugh another one!" she screamed clutching her clipboard.
Bug frowned, he was sick of people freaking out on him. The new laws only seem to do so much for some people.
"Sorry," the nurse apologized, "what is your…issue young man?" she asked, "you are male right?" she added.
Bug's face burned. "Yes!"
"Heh, well I'm a nurse and my name's Lisa, L-I-S-A," she said as if speaking to someone of diminished capacity.
"I go to school," Bug snapped, "I'm checking on my friend Bobby. He'd be a mutant here and he's being trained to use top rate prosthetics."
"Oh," Lisa blanched, "you're here about the kidna…I mean incident in that part of the ward."
"No, no, you said…!" Bug shouted.
"Shush," Lisa said covering his mouth, "it's being kept hush, huh," she whispered in his ear.
Bug's eyes shrunk to slits. He didn't care about the hospital's reputation. He only wanted to know if Bobby was ok and if he could see him.
"Follow me," Lisa said and led him to an empty room, "whoever broke in was a mutant, and he or she took a blue mutated quadriplegic boy with her. Even left his limbs behind. I only know he was an ugly blue kid."
"His name is Bobby," Bug snarled his eyes brimming with tears.
