Goliath and the others landed on top of the highest tower in no time flat. On the glide over Elisa couldn't help but think about Broadway and what he is going through. When the clan told her about Broadway and how he's been acting she became very concern for him. 'I can't even imagine what Broadway has been going through for the past two week. Pain, suffering, hatred towards himself about what happened. I need to tell him that none of this was his fault and he will listen. Even if it takes all night.' She thought. As Goliath gently put Elisa down, she started to look around hoping to see if Broadway was here.
"Broadway won't be come back for a while." Brooklyn said as he handed Elisa her crutches.
"Thanks Brooklyn, so how long does Broadway disappear for?" Elisa asked
"It's hard to tell sometimes he'll leave and come back within an hour. Other times he'll be gone all night." Lex said. Just then a big dust of wind blew. Elisa shivered as she was only wearing her pajama tank top, shorts and her big red jacket.
Goliath noticed Elisa shivering and gently wrapped his wing around her. Elisa smiled with he did that, "Thanks Big Guy, guess I should have at least changed out my pajamas."
"Why don't we head inside and wait for Broadway." Goliath said.
"Good idea lad. Why don't we head to the kitchen? I believe we still have some hot coco in the stove." Hudson said. They all agreed and headed inside. As they walked down the hall they heard a weird noise coming from the kitchen.
"Did you guys hear that?" Lex asked. As they walked closer and closer the noise became clearer.
"It sounds like pots and pans." Hudson said.
"Yeah, do you think Broadway in the kitchen?" Brooklyn said.
"Only one way to find out." Elisa slowly walked up to the kitchen door and pushed it by using her crutches. Sure enough Broadway was there making himself something to eat. She quietly closed the door.
"Yup he's in there." She said.
"I'm not surprised the lad hasn't been eating as much as he usually does." Hudson said. The guys have noticed that Broadway's appetite wasn't the same as before.
"So what's the game plan?" Brooklyn asked.
"Yeah, how are we going to do this?" Lex asked.
"You guys aren't going to do anything. I'm going to talk to him alone." Elisa said.
"Are you sure lass?"
"Yeah, I mean Broadway wouldn't go anywhere near you. What makes you think he would even talk to you?" Brooklyn said.
"Oh, I have my ways." She said with a smirk.
Goliath walked up to Elisa, "We have faith in you Elisa. If anyone can bring the old Broadway back is you."
"Beside we are going to be outside the door. So there's no way out for him if he tries to escape." Lex said.
"Haha thanks guys. Well here I go." Elisa gently pushed the door open again. She slowly walked into the kitchen.
"Hey there Broadway." Elisa happily said. Broadway froze when he heard his name. Slowly he turned around and saw Elisa smiling at him. After gliding around the city Broadway started to get hungry. Knowing that everyone will be at Elisa's all night he decided to go back home and get something to eat. He never thought he would see Elisa tonight, let alone here in the castle.
"E…Elisa what are you doing here?" He said still shocked to see her here.
"I came to see you silly. You haven't visited me at the hospital these past two weeks. It's like you're trying to avoid me." She said with a smirk, "So…I figured since you couldn't or wouldn't want to see me than I would come to see you. So here I am."
Broadway couldn't believe that she came all the way to the castle just to see him. 'Elisa probably came here to yell at me for what I did. I wouldn't blame her.' He thought. He shook his head, "You shouldn't have come. I already know what you're going to say."
Elisa raised her eyebrow, "Do you now."
He nodded, "Yeah, you're here to blame me for what happened, yell at me for hurting you and say you don't want to be my friend anymore."
Elisa was confused to say the least, "Broadway why would I blame you for what happened. It was an accident. And you're crazy to think that I came all the way over here just to yell at you. You're my friend, Broadway."
Broadway didn't say a word. He didn't know what to say. 'I need to get through to him.' She thought. Seeing that Broadway wasn't going to say anything Elisa decided to push forward.
"And why would you think I was going to stop being your friend?" She asked.
Broadway look away, "Because…because I'm dangerous."
Elisa slowly walked up to him, "Broadway you're not dang…" but he interrupted
"No Elisa, I am dangerous! Everything that happened is my fault! I was the one who hurt you! I was the one who sent you to the hospital! And it would have been my fault if you…" Broadway suddenly stopped himself. He didn't want to say the last part.
"If I what? Broadway tell me." She asked. Broadway lowered his head. He didn't want to say it. "Broadway please talk to me." After a long silent Broadway finally spoke.
"It would have been my fault if…if you would have died. I would never forgive myself if you died." He began to shake a bit, as tears fell down his cheeks.
Elisa couldn't believe what he just said. 'I see now know I understand.' She walked up to him and placed her hand in his shoulder.
"Broadway you can't keep blaming yourself about what happened and you can't keep thinking about what ifs. That's going to drive you crazy. It was an accident and I know how sorry you are because of it. I also know it wasn't all your fault. I should have been more careful about where I left it. Now that this happened, we should learn from this."
Broadway let' the words sink in. Elisa spoke with such compassion he couldn't believe it. But he still had his doubts.
"But Elisa, I'm still dangerous be around. What if I hurt you again? I don't want that to happen." He lowered his head when he said that. He didn't want to lose his friend.
Elisa placed her hand under his chin so she can say this face to face, "Now you listen to me Broadway, you are not dangerous and I know you will never hurt me on purpose, just the opposite. You are very protective of me. Ha even more so than Goliath. Do you know what else? You are loving and caring, gargoyle. I've never met any other person with a heart as big as yours. So never ever think like that ever again." Elisa slowly wrapped her arms around Broadway, "Besides you saved my life. If you didn't take me to the hospital when you did then I wouldn't be here right now. You're my hero Broadway."
When Broadway heard those words he couldn't believe it. 'I'm her hero.' Slowly Broadway wrapped his arms around her, being as gently as possible. They stood like that for a while until they slowly pulled away.
"Thank you, Elisa." Broadway said with a smile.
"You're welcome anything for my ice cream eating partner, haha." She said remembering the time she and Broadway eat an entire cart of ice cream in one sitting. Broadway too remembered that. Just then a rumbling sound came out of Broadway's stomach.
"I guess I'm still hungry." He said embarrassingly
"I don't blame you. I heard that you haven't eaten a lot lately. Why don't we make up for that?" She said.
He nodded, "Good idea." Elisa then turned around and headed to the kitchen door.
Broadway was confused at what Elisa was going, "Elisa, I thought we were going to eat."
"I know and you know what would make eating even better." He shook his head. Elisa then opened the door to reveal the rest of the clan standing there.
"Having the rest of our friends eat with us too. You guys can come in now. Everything's good." She said. The clan walked into the kitchen. Broadway got nervous about seeing his friends but he knew what he had to say.
"Guys I'm really sorry about how I've been acting and I'm sorry that I yelled at you tonight as well. You guys were just looking out for me and I'm sorry." He felt awful about how he'd been acting these past two weeks.
"Hey don't sweat it. We're just glad to see you happy again." Brooklyn said.
"Yeah, we hated seeing you so depressed." Lex said.
"Sorry."
"Aye lad we are just glad that you are alright." Hudson said. Suddenly another sound of rumbling was heard.
"Well then now that everything is settle let's eat." Everyone agree as Broadway went to the Fridge and began to take out every food inside. Brooklyn, Lex and Hudson couldn't help but laugh as they went to help him with cooking. Elisa and Goliath stay behind.
"Elisa, I can't thank you enough for helping Broadway." Goliath said as he grabbed a hold of her hand and gave it a small squeeze of appreciation.
She smiled at the Big Guy, "I'm happy to help. Besides you guys are my friends and I will do anything for you guys." She squeezed his claw in return, "Come on let's eat." He nodded and they slowly catch up with the other. Broadway cooked all types of food, making up for lost time. Everyone pitched in to help. Well exact for Elisa, she sat on the chair and relaxed. Once the food was ready they took it to the table. Everyone look so good. As soon as the last plate was set on the table everyone dig in. They ate, told stories and laughed all throughout their dinner time. Broadway smile a lot, more than ever. Though he does have a small guilt inside him about what happen with Elisa's word gave him the courage he needed to forgive myself. Broadway was happy, truly happy and he wouldn't have it any other way.
The end.
