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?
