Dee sat on the pane and fiddle with his cross. It had been two hours since he left New York. He stared out the window in and stared at the sky. Even since he got that letter, an urgent sense of fear had come over him. He reached over to fiddle with his ring, then remembering what had happen to it. He found himself doing that a lot lately. He sighed heavily and shut his eyes.
When they landed Dee headed for a payphone. He stood there for a moment staring at it. He wanted to call Ryo to see if he was still alive. But he feared of what that might do. He heard a voice calling from behind him, but he didn't turn around. The voice got louder, and he identified the voices as Sally's. Slowly he turned to face her. She looked at him with a half smiled. "You got my letter."
"Yes," he said with a nod. "Is he okay?" Sally shook her head. Shit. Dee began to feel horrible. "Where is he?"
"He's with me. Has been for a week." Dee nodded. "Come on. I'll take you to him." He followed her out of the airport.

Ryo sat silently in the spare bedroom at Sally's home. A week earlier she came over and removed him from Joey's. Saying she couldn't stand seeing him being abused anymore. Joey said nothing as they left. He just smiled. That smile sent a shiver through his body. Today was the first day Sally had left him alone. He felt safe but at the same time scared, because at anytime Joey could come back and clam him.
He heard a car pull into the drive and turned his head. He didn't move as two people got out of the car and headed for the house. The door opened and shut and two voices could be heard. One was Sally's and the other one belonged to a mail. Slowly he came out of the room to see who is was. His eyes went wide when he saw whom it was. "Dee?" Dee turned and smiled. Ryo didn't move. "No. You left me," he said shaking his head. Dee walked up to him and gently cupped his cheek. Ryo continued to shake his head.
"Hey, look at me," Dee whispered. "I'm here to take you home." Ryo couldn't bring himself to look at him. Tears stung his eyes. He turned to walk away, but Dee didn't let go off his hand. "Don't walk away."
"Let go."
"No." He pulled Ryo to him. "Why are you walking away?" Ryo didn't answer. He wasn't even looking at him. "Ryo, look at me." He shook his head. "Look at me." Ryo tired to pull away, but Dee wouldn't let go.
"Let go of me."
"No. Why won't you look at me?" Ryo yanked hard out Dee's grasp and went to his room. Dee followed his and bang on the door. "Ryo! Open the door!" The door was locked. He kept calling to him to open the door. He wasn't answering. He kicked it open. "Ryo! Oh god!" Ryo was sitting on the floor, blood was flowing from both his wrist. "Sally! Call an ambulance."

Dee paced nervously around the waiting room. Sally continuously asking him to sit down. It had been forty minutes since they arrived at the hospital and still not one word of Ryo's condition. Dee almost knocked the nurse over when she came out. Ryo had lost a lot of blood and was in fair condition. They wanted to keep him over night to run some test. Dee asked if he could see him. She took him back to his room. "You have ten minutes." He thanked her and went inside.
Ryo was still asleep and was hooked up to a few different machines. Pushing down his emotions and sat next to the bed. Dee held Ryo's hand gently and kissed it. He noticed a bruise on his eye he didn't notice earlier. Other little bruises started to become obvious as well. Why didn't he notice these before? He was brought out of his train of thought when there was a light squeeze on his hand. "Hey," he said softly. "How you feeling?" He went to speak, but Dee put a finger to his lips. "A simple nod or shake of the head will do just fine." Ryo smiled and nodded. The nurse came in. "I've got to go. I'll be by tomorrow, okay?" Again he nodded.
"So how is he?" Sally asked when Dee returned.
"Tell me everything," Dee said. "Those bruises, 'he' caused them, didn't he?" Sally nodded.
"Do you really want to know?" He nodded. "Are you sure? You're not going to like it."
"I don't care. I have to know."
"All right. Come on. Let's go someplace were we could talk."

Sorry about this being so short. I got a brain fart halfway through the chapter, and couldn't think of anything. So I didn't want to start rambling so I just ended it here. I hope it good. I hope. I will be ending this soon. You may or may not like the way I end this. WEEEEEEE!
Please don't yell at me for changing this. But after reading what someone wrote I decided to change the chapter a bit. *hides under s desk* I'm sorry. I'm changing the story a bit. One, I'm running outta ideas. Two, it wasn't going to work with my ending. Three, I have no idea about what AIDS or HIV patents go through. So instead of making it up and upsetting some people, which I don't want to do, I'm changing it. So please don't be angry. You can be a little muffed, but that's it. *Smile* I'm working on my new chpt, but I'm a bit stuck. Don't know when I'll have it up.
