Yeesh! Sorry for the ridiculously long wait for this chapter. I have had practically no weekends as I am in the marching band and travel for the games. Also, being an Education major, I have a whole ton of work and have hardly any time to work on these updates. But here the next chapter, I hope you enjoy it. R&R!

Not True

All of a sudden, Ryan's eyes shot open and he bolted upright, gasping for air. He quickly crashed back down to the bed, heaving for air.

David nearly passed out at the sight of Ryan waking up so suddenly. He rushed over to the side of the bed. "Ryan? Ryan! Oh my god, you're ok! I'm so happy you're ok." He peered down at Ryan as he began to breath more calmly. "Ryan, are you ok?"

Ryan looked up at David in pure confusion. His confusion suddenly turned to fear, and he suddenly screamed out loud. "No! Please, I'm sorry! I'm sorry, I didn't mean for it to happen!"

David looked confused. He gently brushed Ryan's cheek. "Sorry about what? Ryan…are you ok?"

Ryan suddenly began to cry weakly. "Please…don't hate me, don't hate me…"

David's heart clenched. He suddenly remembered what the doctor had told him earlier about Ryan's memories affecting him more than usual. He swallowed hard and stared down at Ryan. He thinks I hate him.

David looked at Ryan in sheer disbelief, tears slowly rolling down his face as he watched Ryan cry softly, hiding his face behind his hands. "R-Ryan…what are you…talking about?"

Ryan peeked out at David, trembling slightly when he did so. "I…I didn't mean…for it to happen…the shots and the k-kidnapping…please don't hate me!"

David swallowed hard and backed up. "Ry…I…I" He could not finish his sentence, turning quickly and rushing out the door.

"David!" Gianna called, rushing out after him.

Calleigh stood in silent shock and stared at Ryan. Part of her was relieved that he was awake and ok, but the other part was curious and upset that he though David actually hated him. She hoped the injuries had not affected his memory of her, when she turned him down so many times. Once the doctors were done looking over him and adjusting a few things to calm him down, she slowly approached his bed. She took his hand in hers, causing him to look at her. "Ryan, sweetie?"

Ryan sniffled and looked up at her. "Cal?"

Calleigh sighed with relief and sat down on the edge of his bed. "Sweetie, I missed you so much…are you ok?"

Ryan swallowed and nodded slowly. "I was…a warehouse…Richard…you and G and the kids…Horatio…"

Calleigh put her finger to his lips to shush him. "Everything and everyone is ok, Ryan. You saved us." She leaned over and kissed him gently.

Ryan kissed her back, reaching up slowly to wrap his arms around her. He realized it was a mistake when pain jolted through his upper body. He whimpered and dropped his arms back down to the bed.

Calleigh frowned and stroked his hair. "You're going to be in pain for a while, sweetie, you need to rest. Do you want me to get the doctor to get you some more pain meds?"

Ryan nodded slowly, stopping Calleigh before she turned to leave. "Cal…did they get him?"

Calleigh nodded and squeezed his hand lightly. "You should have seen. Horatio shot him in the leg and then arrested him on the spot."

Ryan smiled slightly before leaning back into the pillows. "Good," he said quietly.

Calleigh smiled and kissed him lightly before leaving the room to find the doctor. Once she was in the hall, she sighed with relief. Ryan had no bad memories of her as far as she was concerned. She turned a corner and stopped short. She saw David sitting on a couch, his face in his hands, crying heavily. His body shook with sobs as he choked out Ryan's name every once in a while. Gianna was knelt down beside him her arms around him and gently stroking his hair. She slowly approached them. "Is he ok?"

Gianna looked up at Calleigh sadly. "He's so upset…he didn't expect this to happen to Ryan…none of us did. It's tearing him apart." She looked back down at David when he shuddered, the result of another sob. "I don't know what to tell him, I'm afraid he is going to make himself sick."

Calleigh nodded slowly and watched David. "Maybe you should take him back in there again, see if anything changes?"

Gianna thought about it for a moment and finally nodded. "Maybe that would be a good idea."

Calleigh nodded and walked off down the hall. She peered over her shoulder to notice that Gianna had gotten David off the couch and was walking him back to Ryan's room. I hope everything is ok.

David sighed and wiped his eyes. He walked slowly into Ryan's room. He froze momentarily when Ryan looked up at him, a glint of fear I his eyes. "R-Ryan?"

Ryan looked at him and swallowed slightly, unsure of whether or not to freak out again. He felt slightly bad for yelling earlier, causing David to run out. He also felt scared after he left. "Dave…"

David hesitated for a moment before slowly approaching the bed. He sat down on the edge once he realized Ryan seemed calm. He simply stared at Ryan, taking comfort in him looking back up at him. He wasn't quite sure what to say. "I…I…"

Ryan noticed his hesitation and frowned. Then again, he wasn't sure what to say either. He swallowed and finally cleared his throat. "Are…you ok?"

David nodded slowly, looking to the floor. He instinctively wrapped an arm around his stomach. "Yeah…but I've been so worried about you. Are you ok?"

Ryan nodded, even though David wasn't looking at him. "Yeah." He wondered if David was really mad at him.

As if he could read his mind, David looked up at Ryan. "Ryan…about that fight we had before…you know."

Ryan nodded slowly, fear welling up inside him. Was David going to flip out on him again? Tell him he hated him and wished he were dead? He wondered about the tears in his eyes. "Are you still…mad at me?"

David frowned and looked up at him. "Ryan, I was never mad at you…I…overreacted. I was scared and…" He put his head in his hands and fought back tears. He finally looked up at Ryan as a tear escaped down his cheek. "Ryan, you're my brother. I love you so much…I was never mad at you."

Ryan looked at him, swallowing the lump in his throat and forcing back tears. He knew how sincere David sounded, and he believed him. "I…love you too, Dave."

David smiled slightly as more tears fell down his face. He reached over and pulled Ryan into a light hug, smiling more when he felt Ryan hug him back. "Everything is going to be ok," he said quietly.

Ryan nodded and looked him over. He was a little concerned that he lost some weight, and he seemed rather pale. "Why are you all dressed up?"

David swallowed and looked down at his dress clothes that he was still wearing. "The first part of the trial was today…against Richard."

Ryan paled slightly and looked up at him. "How did it go?"

David frowned, slight anger in his eyes. "They put Carly on the stand…and they made her cry. Ryan…Dad is Richard's lawyer."

Ryan gasped and his eyes went wide. He was suddenly very afraid, and also very angry. "Why…would he do that?"

"Because he's a heartless bastard who wants nothing but to see us go down," David said tightly. He looked up and noticed the fear in Ryan's eyes. He took his hand and squeezed it lightly. "But we are going to get through this, we are going to win. We can't let them get away with this."

Ryan nodded, looking up when he realized Calleigh was reentering the room with a doctor. He smiled at her slightly, and then looked back down at David. "When is the trial set to continue?"

"Soon," David said quietly. "But now that you are awake, they will probably want your side of the story too." Realizing this made him upset, and he looked back down at the floor.

Ryan nodded slowly, watching as the doctor started towards the bed. "I was-" He was cut off when he heard a very loud banging sound. He suddenly gasped and went very pale. "NO!" he screamed, releasing David's hand and attempting to hide under the covers. "NO! Not again, please!"

"Ryan?!" David exclaimed, leaping to his feet. He looked at the doctor. "What's happening?!"

The doctor frowned. "It's part of the effects he will be suffering from after his attack. Loud noises might startle him, making him think he is hearing gunshots or something. You will just have to calm him down, maybe move him to another room. All we can do now is give him a sedative to help him relax."

David nodded and gently took hold of Ryan, who was trembling and crying under the covers. "Ry…Ry, it's ok, it was just a door slamming, you're ok. Please come out now. It's ok."

Ryan slowly stopped crying and peeked out from the covers. Seeing David's concerned look, he lowered the covers and reached out for him. He sighed and shuddered when David took him gently in his arms, it comforted him. He also noticed the doctor had put something in his IV. He was starting to feel sleepy. "Sorry, Dave," he mumbled, the sedatives already at work.

"It's ok, Ry," David said quietly, still holding Ryan close and rubbing his back. "Just rest now, I'll be right here." He held onto him until he could tell he was sleeping. He gently set him back down on the bed and sighed. He looked up when he felt a hand on his shoulder, realizing it was Gianna.

"He'll be ok, David," Gianna said. "When we can take him home, we will take god care of him. He knows you're there."

David smiled slightly and nodded. "Yeah," he said quietly. He sat back and watched over Ryan, fearing the upcoming trial and the idea of facing his father once again.
