"Arthur! I need help!"
"Gah! No need to scream you bloody wanker!" of all the people to call me it had to be that bloody wanker's brother…wait… "How the hell did you get my number?"
"No time for that now! I need you to come over to Sonia's place right now!" the usually calm and quiet Canadian sounded like he was on edge.
"Okay, okay, first tell me what's going on…" Arthur heard the Canadian take a deep breath and started to speak a little more calmly than before.
"OK, so I was going over to Sonia's because we had plans today and while I was thinking over…certain things…I noticed that the front door was slightly open, which I thought was weird but then again it's Sonia so I thought she just forgot to close it, still I was cautious when walking in and-"
"Get to the point already! I don't have the whole bloody day!"
Mathew 'eeped' at the scream from Arthur, he'd forgotten how Arthur could be very temperamental sometimes.
"IfoundSoniaunconsciousonthef loor!" everything came out at once and Mathew had to take another deep breath to talk again. He felt tears beginning to burn behind his eyes and he swore he could hear the Russian whispering something to him. Although he couldn't understand what was being said.
"Speak English you bloody wanker! I can hardly understand what you're saying!"
"I found Sonia unconscious on the floor of her living room! Do you get it now? So hurry up and get here!" After that the phone went dead and Arthur just looked at his phone dumbfounded trying to collect his thoughts until he finally understood what had just been said to him.
He quickly called Peter over and told him that they had to go, when he saw the look of disappointment on the small boy's face he instantly felt crushed. He didn't want Peter to feel upset, kids were supposed to have smiles on their faces not sadness, that's what Alfred always told Peter whenever he found Peter looking sad.
Shaking his head from his thoughts, he got the idea to call their new neighbors to see if they could watch Peter while he went out.
Their new neighbors were a Swedish and Finnish couple, Berwald and Tino. They both seemed nice and warmed up to Peter on the first day of their meeting.
After Arthur explained the situation to them they agreed to watch over Peter at their house, Arthur thanked them and left telling Peter to behave himself and calling Mathew on his way out for any new news from Sonia.
After he hung up on Arthur, Mathew felt terribly bad and wanted to call him back to apologize but instead decided to call the ambulance. He knew he should have done so sooner, but hey he panicked!
When the paramedics finally came Mathew got a call from Arthur.
"He-Hello?"
"About time you finally picked up I've called you a bloody five times already! So… how's Sonia…?" Hearing the worry in his voice Mathew relaxed a little.
"As far as I know she's fine…well she's breathing anyways, the paramedics just arrived were heading over to the hospital right now"
"That's good…I guess, wait did you say that they just arrived? Didn't you call them before you called me?"
"…no…" Mathew pulled the phone away from his ear; he knew what was going to happen next.
"WHAT THE HELL! WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL THEM BEFORE?! AND WHY DID YOU CALL ME?"
"I PANICKIED! What would you do if you found one of your friends lying on the floor of their living room unconscious? And to tell the truth I don't know why I called you I should have called Alfred instead!" Mathew stopped he knew he went too far, but he couldn't back away now that he had said it.
Arthur was completely shocked by the words that came out of the Canadians mouth.
"…Arthur...?"
"What! You think I'm still depressed about our break up!? Do you think that I cry everyday wishing that he cared for me even just a little? Well I don't! I couldn't care less about that bloody idiot!" he almost had to choke up those words; he knew that if the conversation continued any longer he wouldn't be able to hold back the tears.
"Arthur…you know…Alfred cares about you…a lot more than you think…"
Arthur couldn't believe those words; he didn't want to, he knew that if he did he would get some hope that maybe Alfred had been looking for him. He didn't want another heart break not so soon after his heart had just slowly begun to heal.
"Yeah right the only thing he's ever cared about was the amount of burgers he could eat and how many women he could seduce at once. Never once has he cared about… me" This time he couldn't hold back the tears as they slowly fell down. He just wanted it to all stop, he didn't want to talk about Alfred anymore, it pained Arthur every time he thought about him.
"You know that's not true…I'm his brother I know him, he wouldn't do anything unfaithful, he loves you Arthur…"
"Oh yeah? Well why doesn't he just tell me that to my face! , Instead of me having to doubt everything about us whenever I saw him with other women!"
"…he never told you…?"
"Never told me what!? You know what never mind I don't even care about that bloody git anymore! I'll be there soon, but to see Sonia!"
