A Life a not worth living

Chapter 6 – A deadly came of truth or dare

It had been almost a week that the two teens had been in the hospital for and, let's just say, they had both gone way beyond the bored stage. Max was able to walk around as he pleased and often visited the children's ward to entertain them. They loved it when he came and hated it when he had to leave, but he always made it up to them by going back.

Unfortunately, and no matter how much he begged, he wasn't allowed to see Kai. So, late at night, he would sneak out and see him then. They would often play truth or dare…or more likely Max would because he was the one who could walk so he did the dares about putting syrup from the kitchens into the doctor's uniform, or things like that.

Tyson and the others came every day to see them, well Max anyway as they also weren't allowed to see Kai. They had to stay in Max's room or in the dining hall, not a problem at lunch times. Tyson kept asking his Grandpa if Max could go and live with them but he said that wasn't a good idea. And the doctors wouldn't let him either so there wasn't any way to win.

Hidden away, a certain someone was plotting to get back a certain teen…

"You will be mine boy…"

"If I get thrown out of here because you just dared me to do that, I'll make sure you stay in this hospital for the rest of your life!" Max was trying to talk through his laughter. He went and sat on the edge of his friend's bed and calmed himself down.

"I'm sure a couple less toilets in this place won't do much harm"

"Right, your turn"

"Dare" Max grinned evilly. "Oh God, what?"

"I dare you to walk without your crutches"

"That's not much of a dare, I've already tried that but I fell flat on my face" Max laughed a little. "Much to your amusement…"

"Come on, give it one more try. If you fall I'll catch you" Kai sighed.

"Fine" He pulled himself up and stood by using the small beside table. He took one hand of it and took one step away, but he wobbled a bit so he grabbed it again. A look of determination gave Max a clue of what he was going to do. He used both is hands to push himself away from the table and walked for a bit. Then he stood still and smiled at Max in a 'ha, I did it' way.

But it soon disappeared as he began to fall forward but just ended up being caught by his friend. "You almost got it, but not quite"

"Just put me back on the bed" Max did as he was told with a sigh. He sat down beside him and looked away with a sad look.

"What's wrong?"

"It's just; it's because of my Uncle that you may not be able to walk again…"

"That's load of shite" Max looked at him with a shocked look. "Sure it's because of your Uncle…no, scratch that, he's NOT your Uncle. Someone who is related to you should take care of you and love you; he does the complete opposite so he's nothing to you"

"You make it all sound so true"

"That's because it is. Don't you dare let lies sink into you conscience"

"You talk so…"

"Convincingly?"

"Yeah"

"Good, now, can I convince you to go to bed, you look tired"

"I am, I'll see you tomorrow then"

"Night" He watched his younger friend leave, hoping those words would sink in…

The next day Max was so thankful that the doctors allowed him to spend a day in town with is friends. A cop was going to be watching them from a distance in case anything should happen, much to Tyson's annoyance. "Why do we need to be watched? We're old enough to take care of ourselves"

"Oh yeah, I sure proved that, and so did Kai" said Max sarcastically.

"Come on guys, let's just enjoy ourselves. We don't know when we'll be allowed to do this again"

"Yeah, you're right Ray" They were out for hours when it began to get late. Max bought himself some new clothes and mini-games to amuse the kids in the children's ward; they got pretty bored in there too. He also got a silver chain for a certain blue-haired teen.

"See you guys tomorrow!" Max went back into the hospital but stopped short when he saw a crowd of worried looking staff and another group of policemen. He saw his doctor and ran up to him. "What's going on?"

"Some man has broken into one of the rooms on the third floor and has taken a boy hostage" Max stopped dead when he heard those words.

"What boy?" he asked slowly.

"The one that was brought in not long after you" Before the blond could say anything else a nurse at the reception desk shouted over to him and held a phone in the air. He ran over to her and gave her a questioning look.

"It's the man that's upstairs, he says you know him" Max grabbed the phone out of her hand angrily.

"LET HIM GO NOW!" Everyone stared at him and kept quite to see what was going to be said.

"Now, now, don't talk to your elders like that. Didn't your mother ever teach you manners?"

"Let Kai go right now!"

"Oh I don't think so, he's enjoying his time here with me, aren't you?" Max heard his friend shout "Fuck you!" in the background.

"What do you want?"

"To play, I heard that you like to play truth or dare. Why don't we have a go?

"Fine, I'm going first and I pick dare!"

"Excellent, I dare you to come and get me…"

Upstairs, things weren't going so well. In an attempt to run the teen had ended up collapsing to the floor, and with the door locked, there wasn't a chance he was able to escape anyway. He was lying on his side, elbows propping his top half up so he could see what his kidnapper was doing.

"Excellent…I dare you to come and get me" With that he laughed and slammed the phone down. He looked over to the injured male on the floor and stood up, watching the teen try and drag the rest of his body away from him. "You so pathetic, but so cute…"

"FUCK OFF!" He turned himself so he was facing him properly. Again Kai tried to pull himself away as he was approached but his leg was grabbed and he was pulled towards his captor. "Get off me!"

"Don't play hard to get, we have awhile as it's gonna take my nephew a while to figure out how to get past my traps"

"You're a complete madman!"

"Oh stop, you're making me blush" An evil grin was on his face. "Believe it or not it's not actually you I want; I'm just using you to get something back that belongs to me"

"If you don't like him then why do you want him back?" He cringed as their faces were brought closer together.

"Because no one else wants a waste of space like that, so, I might as well have him as my little playboy"

"Your sick…really sick"

"No, I'm pretty healthy actually" He picked the teen up and turned him around so he had his back to him but his feet were still on the ground. By grasping the teen around his waist he stopped him from falling back on the floor, which is where he actually preferred to be than in the grasp of this man.

"Put me down! Let go off me!"

"You're nice and warm" Hands crawled under his top making him wriggle in an attempt to move them. He froze when he felt them go lower. He turned his head to the side as a face was buried in his neck.

"Don't, please...not again…"

Downstairs was in darkness as the power had been cut, probably by the person upstairs. Policemen were searching for a way to get upstairs; the stairways had been blocked, the elevators obviously were out of the question and it was too much of a risk to go in through the windows. Max was nervous as anything but at the same time was beyond being just mad. He was also trying to think of a way to get up.

"There must be way; it's a huge building for goodness sake!" He grasped the silver chain that he bought not too long ago.

"I know there is, we just haven't found it yet" said his doctor. "Who's the man that's doing this anyway?" Max gave him an ashamed look.

"My Uncle…"

"Your Uncle is doing this?"

"Yeah, he's the one that made me come here in the first place and he also caused Kai to come here as well, and now he's using him to try and get me back, but I'm not falling for it!"

"I'm sorry…I'll help you through this, every step of the way"

"Thanks" Then suddenly, an idea popped into his head. "Hey, you have a helipad on the roof for the rescue helicopter, don't you?"

"Yeah…"

"Follow me" He followed Max over to the chief of police who was giving orders to a couple of officers. "Excuse me Sir"

"Yeah?"

"I think I have an idea on how to get upstairs…"

I said you didn't have to wait much longer! If you can't guess what Max's idea is then you must be pretty stupid…no offence to those who haven't got it yet…anyway all you have to do now is REVIEW!

Oh yeah, question…should this be a yaoi or not? It's your decision, I was just wondering and I don't mind if you don't want it to be.
