It goes on forever
Toby cried out as he was pressed against the seat of Mono's car, staring up with wide eyes as Mono put on sunglasses before getting in as well, and with that they started down the car. He repeated asked - in demands - to know where they were going, but the man just screamed at him to shut up as they started into the woods.
The car turned again, off the road and onto the bumpy dirt through the woods before pulling to a stop further within. Toby didn't know what directions they had taken to get wherever they were; he could only remember the address of the place he had stayed in for a month. Mono ordered him out of the car, and the boy did as asked, staring at the tree before him in curiosity as the sun blared down from above. Was it noon all ready?
Mono was still in the car, digging through the glove department as Toby stared at the car, wondering, if he could run, and if he could which way would he go. Before he could choose an answer, Mono stepped out of the car, a gun in his hand, a ruthless smile on his face. "We tried to be nice to you, you know that, don't you?" He stepped closer, and Toby stepped further against the tree, dropping Kumagorou upon the ground.
"Yet, all you do is find ways to piss me off, trust me - you probably hear this all the time, but you're horrible in bed. Nobody needs that. You don't give good head, and your face disgust me. I don't see what people see in you, but they make demands. There are no good pictures of the little writers son, no pictures to deal with the fan's likes. They want images of you without clothes, it's disgusting, all of you are disgusting. Faux pictures are everywhere on the net, but none are as authentic as what Sechi and I have, because we own you, we make you grovel like you should. You people think you can walk on everybody, just because you have a little talent. I don't see the talent, but people claim you have it! We make good money with the celebrities, have the best sex we can get - and they never turn us in. They either die, or break down. Those we did let go, we took their voice so they couldn't speak, and they take their lives away. What good are they when they don't have the talent that makes the money." He stepped forward, lifting the gun.
"It's not about the money, we do it because it's fun!" Toby cried, "We try to make a living like everyone else. I didn't chose this life. I was growing up on the streets before I found my brother. Then I helped him and I started my life"
"Lies you spoiled brat!" He yelled, shooting Toby. The time for having Michel and his father as friends as a friend paid off, and Toby was able to move away quickly from where he was doomed to be shot, only having his arm hit.
Falling to his knees, he stared up as his fingers clutched the wound, and Mono flung the gun against the ground, irritated. "That was my only bullet!" He screamed, slamming into his car and driving away, leaving Toby upon the ground, clutching his arm as he reached for Kumagorou. Hiro never taught him what to do with a bullet wound…He winced as he tried moving his arm. That wasn't good, he watched as fresh blood continued down his arm, quickly.
What seemed like a short walk was taking hours, feet staggering behind him, Toby stared up at the setting sun, guessing that noon had turned into nightfall. It was getting cold, and Toby had taken off his shirt to dress his bleeding arms to get it to stop bleeding, when that had not worked, he had placed Kumagorou onto the wound and tied the heavy bunny against it. He'd apologize to Ryuichi later for the bloodstains and such, right now - he just wanted to live. Lonesome had taken its toll already, and the extroverted boy had begun talking to the pink toy and at times, imagined the answer on which he replied. He was starting to see why Ryuichi kept the rabbit in the first place.
He stopped abruptly as he saw the path he had followed for hours begin to lower, and upon staring down - he grew dizzy and decided to find another route off the path. He was thirsty and hungry, tired as well - but if he went to sleep, he'd only freeze faster. He remembered that from school.
Staring around, he swallowed some saliva that had made it in his mouth, taking a deep breath to lick his dry lips before continuing down the trail. Was it him or had it only gotten colder? A chill drove down his spine making his shudder before stopping to grasp a tree as the ground under him began moving. Was it an earthquake? Sure, he had been through many of them, but this was different. It was the ground shaking, it was moving out from under him, taking his breath away as the trees began to multiply before him, and his grasps was no longer there, causing him to fall to the ground and try to catch his breath. A drop of blood landed next to his hand, making him stare in wonder.
He was tired, very tired. His head was pounding, and his knees were beginning to give out. Would a small nap hurt? Shaking his head he laid his head in some bushes, smelling the pollen in them. Very pretty, beautiful sky, wonderful birdcalls, and footsteps. Toby tried to flutter his eyes as he realized footsteps were likely from humans, but couldn't find the strength to as he let sleep take over him, his dreams full of his family and life before all the fame.
"Hay! I found someone!"
"Quickly! Let's get him to the hospital, his pulse is weak!"
The beautiful sounds of people, how he loved to hear those voices. Some one had found him. But he wanted to stay there, he wanted to die. There was no point in going on. He had been used and he wanted to see his real father very badly. Why hadn't the people just left him there. He was useless a burden something else. But park ranger had found him none the less. Maybe he could die on the way there.
Everyone was in the hospital granted it was one in the morning. Yuki, Shuichi, and Sora were there cuddled up on a chair sitting and sleeping. Well Shuichi and Sora were sitting on Yuki's lap sleeping.
Touma and Mika were leaning on each other with Sakura wrapped up in a blanket sleeping.
Ryuichi was sitting with Tatsuha as each drank coffee with K as Michel slept, near Saki. They were sharing a blanket that the nurses had given them. Noriko was sleeping with her head back and her husband absent.
Hiro had Ayaka on his lap sleeping soundly. and Suguru battled to stay awake also with Brast Hiro and Ayaka's son. They were chatting about god knows what and ended up playing rock paper scissors to pass time till they fell asleep.
Toby was in the surgery room having work done on his arm and some things put on his knees. Eiri sat awake with Touma who watched the door for any sine of Toby. They had not been informed about anything and finally a nurse came out from some where and stood before the group of sleeping and awake people.
Eiri, Touma, Ryuichi, K, and Tatsuha all got up and walked over to the nurse not disturbing there loved ones.
The woman stared at there eyes before nodding her head. "He was shoot in the arm, having the bullet removed right now." She explained, and they all nodded there heads.
Eiri stared up as he watched Toby being rolled into a recovery room; his eyes never left the boy as he slept. A look of sheer fear was on his face - they had been told Toby awoke once in the ambulance, and had a panic attack and tried to hurt him self, but then once more falling asleep.
Staring at the door, he nodded his head as the nurse instructed Eiri to be careful with the boy before he walked into the room and sucked in his breath. A month had done it's due on the boy, that was for certain. Toby had loss the look that still made him look like a child and less like Kitazawa, and he look malnourished, brown hair was mussed, making the victim look much older than he really was.
Walking over to Toby, Eiri carefully ran his fingers through the boy's fine hair, brushing the strands down properly before staring at him closely. He looked exhausted, Eiri didn't have heart to wake him up and give him a greeting of safety. Touma followed him in. The only two that were awake that were aloud in the room.
Toby had a cast on his wrist and was being held to the bed by restraints to keep him from hurting him self when he woke. He was very mentally messed up. Like Sora had become. Sora was now quieter, calmer, and a little more like Eiri. But Eiri wondered how Toby was going to turn out.
Turning around, he pulled up a chair, silently sitting in it as his gaze stared upon the sleeping boy, watching the rise and fall of his chest. They had found Toby around nine that night. Eiri pulled up a chair that he sat in. Touma walked over and Eiri pulled the older man in to his lap before they both fell asleep.
Toby awoke when Everyone was down stares eating but had been informed they all ran up stares but weren't aloud to enter the room till the doctor had finished what he was doing. Toby's hands were restrained above his head so se couldn't get then free, And he couldn't move his legs. He was thrashing about a little with all the energy he could re-breaking his wrist.
"Toby calm down" The doctor asked but the boy ignored him till his wrist made a discussing pop, "Toby stay still you just broke your wrist again" But Toby only shook his head and a nurse came in and held him down opening some of his cuts and he bled a little on the hospital clothing. He didn't cry and the doctor un did the restraints and left the room getting the cast.
When he returned Toby wouldn't let the doctor put the cast on, "Doctor let me try" The nurse asked and she was able to get Toby to stay still so she could reset his wrist and put a hard cast on. It was blue. As soon as that was over. Toby was pushed back down on the hospital bed and restrained.
The doctor exited the room shutting the door behind him. He went over to some nurses, "go get me the psychologist. And don't let anyone in that room. Keep him alone, he's deadly and dangerous to him self so just leave him be" The doctor said walking away to get some band-aids for his arm that had been cut in the struggle.
An nurse walked up to the gravy gang, "I'm sorry but he needs to be alone, he wont speak and were trying to get him to calm down. He's just a little confused or upset. We should be able to get him back to normal" And with that the nurse pushed them all out. Visitor hours were over, and Toby needed his rest.
Toby just laid on his back. The nurse he sort of trusted was there sitting in a chair making sure he didn't do anything to hurt him self, or anything stupid for that matter.
"Visiting hours were over, so we sent them all home, to take a bath, and come in tomorrow." The nurse said sick of the quite ness. Toby turned and looked at her.
"Are you hungry? I can another nurse into ordering us some pizza. You've been thru hell for a month, it's the least you deserve." Sora returned the smile, nodding his head.
"We're having quite the visitor party tomorrow, you can say. Everybody seems to want to come. I've seen a lot of you family in here, they've all been worried." The nurse said looking at Toby, but he refused to talk.
"Your a nice kid." She leaned over, kissing the boy on his cheek before staring at the door.
"you were scared, and wanted cry. It's unfair, they only did this because of money." The nurse said reading Toby's mind She reached over, rubbing Toby's head, trying to calm him down from the boy's ragged breathing. "I was always aware of people that would do things like this, but why do they have to actually go through with it?"
"Because their sadist" She answered her own question "They sought for pain to earn money - maybe there was lust in there somewhere, but the rest was to see pain."
"Please, you're only going through their goals, to see you break from laughter and tears, destroying your innocence. Show them that they have lost, weep, laugh talk. I've seen so many children end up like you its sad" She couldn't control herself as tears escaped the sides of her eyes as she faced the dull eyes that stared lost. A soft knocking interrupted them as the young nurse showed them the pizza they had asked for. Brushing her eyes, she reached for it, placing it at the end of the bed for them to eat.
The boy never met eye contact the rest of the night, his eyes becoming further distant from the nurses the minute the lady was pulled from the bedside and went home.
Repositioning the boy on his back, she stepped down another corner of the hospital.
Toby eventually figured, he had the money and looks to bribe anybody to fetch what he wanted, that being a bag of cream filled donuts, a cappuccino, and a frapachino. He had to admit, the creamed over drink did taste good
"Toby Uesugi, I presume?" She smiled, and he nodded, drinking. He held up the bag of donuts, offering one, but she denied it. "My name is Doctor Mar Kuro, I'm here to talk to you about the ordeal you've been through, so you're not haunted by it." She gave a bow, Toby just kept looking at her.
Mar stared intently at him, smiling sweetly, a small shake of her head. "it's office regulation for rape and abuse victims to have therapy. I'm not forcing anything, but I can assure you, things will be far different now then what it was before the attack. I only want to have you acknowledge what could happen if you don't have this fixed now, since it can affect your love life and your appeal on going back to normal, civil, duties." She smiled brightly, before staring over the halls. "It seems you have some guest, I'll come around later, enjoy your donuts." She bowed once more before leaving as everyone who was there the day before was now there standing in the door way.
He kept watching them, and the nurse from the day before returned with strawberry cheese cake, "See Toby I told you I could get cheese cake in here" She set it down. Toby looked from her to the cake, "Well aren't you going to serve it. I snuck it in you serve it" Toby just looked at here then tried to move his arm.
She started laughing, "sill me I forgot, you don't have to tell me twice." The nurse looked over her shoulder, "Well come in were all fine, just gonna have some cheese cake any one want some" She asked Shuichi and Sora were the only two to raise there hands, "Well looks like were splitting it three ways, wouldn't you say Toby" She looked at Toby as he looked back at her, then glared, "That was rude, maybe I should get Mar back up here" Toby fell back wards into the bed sighing the nurse looked in fear then ran out of the room, "Mar, Mar where are you, report to room 616...Mar she yelled racing down the hall"
Everyone watched her race away, "that is one weird nurse" Ryuichi finally spoke up.
Toby then tried to fight the restraints he wanted to be free, the nurse was go he had a chance to her some object into his bed so he could take his life.
"Toby" Eiri asked, and Toby looked up before Mar raced into the room, "out" she yelled forcing everyone out of the room.
