Homecoming

Part 5

by Backlash



Wufei took off his jacket and placed it under Quatre's head. He vaguely noticed that his uncle
 conveniently slipped out like the coward he knew him to be but that wasn't his main concern at the
 moment. The ambulance finally showed up and Wufei rode with his friend to the hospital. He had
 considered calling Trowa but decided against it until he heard otherwise from Quatre.

 Wufei watched the doctors intently making sure they were doing all they could to make Quatre
 comfortable. He ended up calling Heero to talk to. He needed someone to talk to about the
 situation. He told him everything he had witnessed over the phone. He said he would be right over.

 Wufei watched over Quatre as he slept. Quatre seemed to be sleeping calming probly thanks to the
 sedatives he was given. He looked so peaceful as he slept. Heero walked in and saw Wufei
 watching over him.

 "How is he?" asked Heero.

 "He hasn't woken up yet. They say he can go home in the morning if he take a easy." Wufei
 sounded uncertain.

 "I .. We need to get him away from his uncle."

 "Yes."

 There was no argument just a simple statement of fact. Quatre started to come to. He looked
 around the room to see Wufei and Heero hugging eachother. "What a surprising turn of events."
 smiled Quatre.

 He started to sit up. "Don't move you'll hurt yourself." Heero ordered.

 ***********************

 Duo had been ease dropping on Heero's phone call and went to get Trowa. He didn't understand
 why Heero didn't tell him after all Quatre was his best friend before he went away.

 Trowa was running down the hospital halls trying to find his little one. No one was talking. He was
 worried. What happened where is Quatre?

 A feeling of defeat came over him and he sat down to think. The walls felt like they were closing in.
 A feeling that Quatre was in danger or hurt seeped into his mind.

 ***********************

 Heero and Wufei agreed they couldn't let Quatre go back to that place. Heero placed a call to
 Relena and she spoke to some Lawyers. Quatre just had to sign some papers and with the right
 strings pulled courtesy of Relena he could become an emancipated minor. That way he would be
 safe until his eighteenth birthday which was only a few months away.

 He could move in with him and Wufei and they could help him find a job that's suitable to him. Wufei
 entered the room and said, "Coast is clear lets go." Heero nodded. They were dressed as doctors
 and snuck Quatre out pushing him in a wheelchair.

 When they reached the car Wufei carefully lifted Quatre and laid him in the back seat. He covered
 him with his jacket. Then they took off in their car. Now the only problem would be trying to
 convince Quatre to sign the papers.

 *****************

 Meanwhile at the hospital. Trowa overheard the doctors saying that Quatre had left the hospital.
 Which lead him to believe he was all right. Something just didn't feel right. Something in the pit of
 his stomach told him.

 *****************

 Wufei was trying to wake Quatre up so he could sign the papers. Quatre started coming to.
 "Quatre I need you to sign this." stated Wufei.

 "What are they?" he asked

 "Your freedom."

 "What?" he was confused.

 "When you sign these you will become an emancipated minor. That means legally you can live on
 your own away from your uncle."

 "I have no place to go."

 "You can live here with Heero and I."

 "But I would have to get a job."

 "So?"

 "I wouldn't mind working Wufei. It's just I'm not good at anything. Except maybe piloting
 Sandrock. I don't think there any openings in that field."

 "That's not true." said Heero as he entered and continued. "we'll help you. You very smart but you
 don't have to worry about that until your well."

 "I just don't know." he said quietly.

 "Quatre we refuse to let you be hurt anymore. We're your friends please let us help you. You are
 the one who said friendship is everything so let us return the favor. So what do you say will you
 give it a try?"

 TBC?
