A/N- I'm so sorry! My Internet was out for two days. P.S. You're really gonna hate what I'm gonna get Ross to do to Rocky... And what I'm gonna get Laura to do...

POV-less

It's two hours after Riker left the room after talking to Ross. He's still sitting there, but for the past 45 minutes he's been waiting for Rocky to come home.

"I'm home!" Rocky calls as he enters the living room. Ross clenches his fist. "Uh, hey Ross. Sorry I'm home so late, I was at the library with La-" Ross cuts him off with a slap to the face. "What was that for?"

"Never.. Say.. Your.. Name.. And.. Laura's.. In.. The.. Same.. Sentence.. Ever.. Again.." Ross demands through clenched teeth.

"What if I do?" Rocky retorts. Ross shows him with a punch.

"That's what I'll do." Ross says. Rocky punches him back. Ross attacks Rocky, throwing him to the ground. He then starts to punch and kick him like a madman. One more kick to his ribcage, and Rocky coughs up blood. Ross rolls his eyes and keeps kicking.

Around five minutes later, Rydel runs downstairs into the living room to see Ross still attacking Rocky. "Ross! Stop!" She screeches. Ross turns to look at her, but doesn't stop hurting Rocky. "Ross!" Rydel runs up to Ross and Rocky and slaps Ross across the face. "Get out!" She screams. Ross leaves after a final kick to Rocky.

When Ross leaves, Rydel gets down beside Rocky. She sees his face all scraped up and bruised, and his shirt torn. By looking at his chest, she suspects a few of his ribs are broken.

"Rydel..." he says, in a voice so full of pain that Rydel pulls out her cell phone.

"I'm calling the hospital. You gotta get there right away." She tells him, dialling the hospital's phone number.

"Los Angeles Hospital, what's your emergency?" A lady on the other side says.

"I'm calling for a beaten up 19 year old boy. He needs a hospital room right away." Rydel tells her.

"Okay, get here as fast as you can."

"Thank you." Rydel says gratefully. "My name is Rydel. Look for a blonde girl helping a brown haired boy walk."

"We will. See you soon." The lady says, and both hang up.

"Okay, Rocky, we're getting you help." Rydel tells her brother, helping him stand up.

At The Hospital

Rydel's POV

"Hello, are you Rydel?" A lady asks, coming up to me and Rocky.

"Yes."

"We have a room set up for this young man." She tells me. She leads me down a few hallways to a small hospital room. When they lay my brother down on the bed, I remember that I have to tell Laura.

I go out into the hallway and dial her number. She picks up after three rings.

"Hey, Rydel." she says.

"Laura! You have to come to the hospital right away!" I say urgently.

"What for?" She asks.

"Rocky's hurt. Hurry!" I say. She tells me she'll be here right away and we both hang up.

Laura's POV

Rydel hangs up, and I do too. I set down my phone and shut my eyes, like I can wish this whole thing away. But when I open them, I'm still standing in my bedroom.

And then I absolutely freak out.

I start screaming like crazy, and start throwing things around my room. When I find a glass plate, without thinking, I slam it on my hand. I scream again, but not out of pain. Out of anger.

Ross did this.

And the next thing I know, blood is spraying into my eyes and I black out.

A/N- again, I am sosososososo sorry! I hope you enjoyed this chapter:) Review!
