AN: Here's the new chapter.

So...I have some news. Just a warning before you continue with this chapter..I could really use a bit of friendly advice right now, outside of the realm I'm used to. If you have any advice for me, I'd love it if you'd message it to me..since I really do need it right now. That church thing tonight...no. Just no. I hated it so much. I had fun with the other youth, but...I don't like being called an 'abomination'. And I was. The preacher tonight called everyone in the LGBT community abominations and then turned around and said that nobody is worthless or useless. Bigoted, much? And then...when I got home, I got dumped, apparently. I don't know, I'm still waiting on the message back. But it's screwing with me. I don't trust easily..and this person had a lot of my trust. Not at all. All of this in one night..I just want to lay down and say I quit and give up. But I won't...I won't.

Anyways..onwards.

To those who reviewed:

ThatRandomReview: Yeah. I know. I couldn't find another word off the top of my head for it. But I'm glad you're done.

Shiralala: I died. Six times. In the space of a half hour. I suck at Skyrim! But I'm glad you like how I portray Lovi! That's how my group's Lovi is, so that's what I base it off of, since we're all a lot like our characters. That's what we base the dubbing off of.

Spamano4ever: Lovi is okay now, thank gods. And yes, nothing bad is happening yet.

Enjoy.

Lovino prided himself on his strength in bad situations. He wouldn't break first thing..it most cases. This time, though... It had all added up recently. Since Lovino had been gone for a while, he knew that Vash was probably wondering if they'd killed him yet or not. Honestly, it might have hurt less if they had. Right now, Toris was doctoring him up while they were left alone, but there was so much pain that Lovino couldn't move, couldn't really see. His vision was tunneled badly.

"Tor, I think you need to stop for a bit and make sure he's still with us." Raivis's voice was soft, but it sounded distant to Lovino.

Toris paused in his work, evidently looking up at the Latvian, but he didn't continue after that. Instead, he placed a gentle hand on Lovino's uninjuried shoulder and spoke softly. "Romano..you still with us, man?"he asked softly.

Lovino fought to figure out how to respond for a moment before he spoke. "Barely."he managed, though his voice dd sound weak.

Toris glanced at his watch before he looked at Raivis. "Are they all gone now?"he asked.

Raivis didn't respond. Instead, he walked to the door and opened it slightly, peering out. Since there were only two rooms in the whole of the building, it was easy to tell. "All clear,"he said, looking back at Toris, who nodded and picked Lovino up. The Italian let out a whine, but did nothing else.

Toris looked at Raivis. "Call Vash, tell him to meet us at the park, without Feliciano with him. We don't need a freak out on our hands as well."he said.

Raivis did just that as they walked out of the building they'd come to hate with a passion.

They weren't at the park but for about twenty minutes before Vash pulled up and sprinted over to where they were at. He collapsed next to Lovino before he even came to a full stop, examining the Italian. When he figured that Lovino would be alright with the proper care, he relaxed a bit. "Man..we better get you doctored up before Feli sees you or he'll be the one trying to protect you."

Lovino shook his head, vision darkening a bit more, he clenched his eyes closed for a moment, trying to right his vision again.

Vash noticed and sighed. "Alright, come on. All three of you."he said, getting up and offering a hand to help Lovino up as the others stood.

Lovino shoved the hand away and got up from where he was seated.

"All right, I'm going to take you guys to Matt's, and then I'll go make sure Feli's okay. I'll be back around after that. Stay out of trouble. Aiyana will make sure you are all okay."

Lovino nodded.

The entire way, nobody said a word.

As soon as they made it to Matthew's house, Alfred came outside, curious as to what was going on. He frowned when he saw Lovino sporting injuries. The other two got out to help, but Alfred shook his head, carefully unbuckling the Italian and picking him up, not wanting to disturb him when he seemed to be resting.

As soon as the four got inside, Vash pulled off to go check up on Feliciano.

Matthew gasped when he saw Alfred carrying Lovino, knowing that the Italian didn't usually allow that.

"What happened?!"he exclaimed, getting his mother's attention from the kitchen.

Aiyana frowned deeply. "Set him down, Alfred."she said softly. "And go get the first aid kit."

Alfred did so, completely silent.

Toris and Raivis stayed back away from this, not really too certain about this situation.

Aiyana abandoned what she had been doing in the kitchen to take care of Lovino as soon as Alfred came back with the first aid kit.

Lovino let out quite a few whines and whimpers during this, and everytime, Aiyana would pause for a moment, speak quietly in her native language, then continue.

"Lovino!" Matthew's voice cut through the memory then.

Lovino looked up at Matthew. They were currently sitting outside after school, waiting for Feliciano and Ludwig, who were lagging behind.

Matthew sighed. "Don't do that!"he said. "Please don't do that."

Lovino nodded. "Sorry, Mattie."he said quietly.

Antonio drew Lovino into a tight hug. "You had us all worried when you stopped responding to us. What was the memory about this time?"

Lovino looked over to Toris and Raivis, and both of them seemed to know exactly what it was over this time.

Toris spoke up. "More than likely about the time that Vash actually had to take us to Matt's place to get him doctored up."he said softly. "It's the only time I can remember that was bad enough to make him completely stop responding like that."

Antonio nodded in thanks, and Lovino let his eyes close, curling into the embrace. It was nice to have that comfort.

Raivis bit back a smile at that. He was glad that Lovino had Antonio to help him.

Here's the new one.
