Lol, I know, you all are thinking, This is a quick update! Sorry! I had some struggles over some plot bunny demands! Anyways, thanks to all my readers! And a huge super huggy shout out to my Beta SilverLuna!

Oh and anything in these- 'Means thinking'

Shawn was dreaming of pink elephants in tutu's. They were unfriendly ones who were beating him in the leg with buckets of peanuts, which wasn't fair because his arms were covered in iron and impossible to lift. And the woodpeckers on his head weren't helping either!

'I'm dreaming,' Shawn thought slowly, as the strange images lost their colors. Which meant he needed to wake up. It was so hard to tear himself from Morpheus' vivid hold.

Shawn's ears buzzed; he wanted it to stop. He tried to bring his hand to his head to slap the fly away from it, but instead, his uncoordinated limb smacked him in the nose, making his eyes water and the pain ricochet in his head. Huh, just as well he missed because anything else that got accidentally slapped would have likely made the pain so much worse.

He moved the uncooperative hand back to his lap, but watched it slid down and onto the floor glancing off his blurred thigh. He knew something was wrong, well of course there was, but something other than the head wound and blazing heat in his leg. He still couldn't see straight and now his arms were disobeying every thought.

He gulped down his rising nausea, brought on by the unhealthily large surge of pain in his head and the scary knowledge that something was badly wrong if he couldn't control his arms any better than that.

Shawn knew that he had to get help. No more whining, arguing, complaining, none of it. He didn't even know what time it was but if it was still early morning, then that meant his dad wouldn't be back for a long while.

Shawn was pleased to note that his thoughts weren't quite as painfully muddled as they were before. He sucked in a breath and began using his elbows to ratchet himself up the stairs in order to gain more leverage to try standing. His limbs shaking, he pushed himself up, using his good leg.

He let out a hoarse cry as his leg was jarred. Even through his jeans he could see how swollen the lower portion had become. Sweat collected on his forehead, mixing with the blood and tracking red farther down his face and neck, dampening his collar.

Shawn managed to get himself semi-upright, hunched over, supporting himself with his arms.

His vision blackened and his head spun at the upright position. He choked back a rising nausea that sprung forth; across his blazing cheeks, a cold sweat that beaded on his upper lip. He shifted his leg, and the pain throbbed with menace.

His arms shook, the joints swiftly turning to liquid.

He had to try to move.

'Dad will come, you just have to call,' he told himself, trying to muster up the courage to move his body.

'You can do this, one step that's it.'

Shawn scowled at the stupid cheerleader in his head. It looked like Gus with pom-poms and it annoyed him with its peppy attitude.

Shawn growled and pushed himself completely upright, weight on one leg, his arms held out to balance. Like a child about to take its first step, Shawn tentatively shuffled forward, one hand braced on the railing, gripping it tight, knuckles white, palm sweaty. He was going to have to hop to get there, and damn, this was going to hurt.

He gulped and took a few shallow breaths; he was breathing hard from the exertion of simply standing up. He braced himself and held the rail like a lifeline, then threw himself forward into a hop.

He wavered, moaning in agony as his leg jarred badly. Shawn clenched his teeth and squeezed his eyes closed, trying not to let the tears escape. He had to do this, he could do this.

He steadied himself and realized he hadn't fallen.

He could do this.

'Just keep thinking about how pissed Dad would be to see I didn't even try', he told himself.

I had one long chapter but Shawn kept insisting on having more to say, so I split this into two shorter chapters! I hope you don't mind. But the wait shouldn't be so long this way! Enjoy and I love those reviews! :D
