�Wufei and Heero kept looking at eachother. Afraid Quatre would go back to that twisted individual
�he knew as his uncle. Hoping that they had convinced Quatre that he needed to separate himself
�from his uncle.

�"Quatre I know you think he's family but he's not. We're your family we always have been. Please
�don't let him take you away from us. You will get better and we'll be there for you. We will help you
�recover both physically and mentally. Just trust us."

�"I do trust you Wufei. You guys are my true family. I. I will sign." Quatre took the pen offered by
�Wufei and signed and dated the papers. Wufei had Sally witness it and she signed as well. She left
�to go make it legal.

�Both Heero and Wufei went to Quatre and the three shared a group hug. After that they covered
�Quatre up and he fell into a much needed rest.

�Heero and Wufei watched over him. They didn't want Quatre to wake up alone he might get scared
�and they wanted to remain close. He would need their full attention if he was to have any chance
�of an emotional recovery.

�Heero was worried about Quatre. He knew how sensitive he was and how trusting. To have his
�own family brake that trust. Where the hell were his sisters why didn't they help him. Quatre began
�to wake up as Heero was pondering. "Heero, morning."

�"Good morning. Quatre?"

�"Yes?" answered Quatre. Wufei was waking up as well but didn't interrupt the conversation.

�"Why didn't any of your sister's help?"

�"My uncle said they would be cut off if they did anything. After they found out and he threatened
�them they just seemed to disappear. I guess money is more important. It's all right it wasn't
�unexpected." he said sadly.

�Heero didn't say anything he just held his hand. Wufei came over and took his over hand and said.
�"It's not allright with me."

�*********************

�Heero and Wufei continued to nurse Quatre back to health. They still continued to attend school but
�whenever they would see Trowa they would dodge him. They didn't want to have to tell him about
�Quatre. Quatre wasn't ready for that confrontation he was still to weak.

�This did not go un noticed by Trowa though. His blonde angel was missing and those two acting
�strangely was no coincidence they new something. He decided to keep an eye on them.

�When did Wufei and Heero become so secretive anyway. Maybe to outsiders but not to him or even
�Duo. Something just was not right. Quatre may think he was with that stupid girl so maybe that's
�why he took off because he was hurt. What other reason could there possibly be.

�Much to Heero's efforts he was unable to avoid Trowa any longer when their teacher assigned
�them as partners. That means he would have to bring him to his house to study. Trowa most likely
�would not want to study at the circus. He always got distracted by something or another. This was
�definitely going to be tricky.

�Trowa decided just to ask Heero once and for all. "Where's Quatre? Do you know?"

�"......."

�"Please I just need to know that he's OK." Heero didn't respond. He couldn't lie to his friend but
�what other choice did he have.

�"I'm sure wherever he is he's safe." Trowa accepted that answer for now.

�***********************

�Trowa would be coming over soon. So Wufei and Heero moved Quatre to another room so he
�wouldn't be disturbed. Also so Trowa wouldn't be so close to him that he might hear him. Quatre
�still being bed ridden was still emotionally fragile.

�Quatre decided to try to walk on his own but he fell knocking over a case on the way down. The
�glass shattered all over the floor. Wufei ran in and Quatre apologized. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to
�break it." Wufei approached him suddenly but Quatre flinched.

�He thinks I was going to hit him. I would never raise a hand to a friend. Wufei picked him up and
�helped him to bed. "Quatre I would never hit you."

�"I know I'm sorry. I guess it's just automatic now."

�"You'll get through this. You know you've been cooped up in this place to long. How about this
�weekend we go out?"

�"But I'm safe in here."

�"You can't hide away forever. You can't let him win."

�"I know. I guess I'm just afraid I'll run into him."

�"I won't let him hurt you I promise. Wait are we talking about your uncle or Trowa?"

�Quatre thought about that question and he honestly didn't know. "I a guess both. Trowa doesn't
�need me and my problems. Besides he has someone else now." This was news to Wufei. Quatre
�told him about the whole incident with Trowa. Wufei told him about that girl he new deep in his
�heart that it wasn't true. He was just looking for a reason to free him.

�*************************

�Across the street Trowa had been staking out there house. He waited for Heero and Wufei to leave
�the house so he could search it for a clue to Quatre's where abouts. He new they were hiding
�something and he needed to find his angel. He could no longer bear the pain his heart ached to
�much. There was no way in hell he was going to lose him again.

�Finally Heero and Wufei exited the house . He waited a few minutes to make sure they were gone.
�Then he approached the house and picked the lock.

�Trowa went to Heero's desk and went through all the papers and files he could find. Nothing there
�was nothing. He picked up a pictured of all of the together but singled out Quatre's face. He
�touched it with his finger tracing his face. Then he heard a noise.

�***********************

�Quatre heard noises someone was in the house. If it had been Heero or Wufei they would have let
�him know they were home. No it had to be a burglar. Quatre rose to his feet and began to walk.
�The pain was unbearable but he had no choice. Finally he lost his balance and crashed to the floor.
�He was breathing so hard.

�Trowa followed the crashing sound to a room. He slowly entered it he saw a figure on the floor
�apparently hurt. As he got closer he saw who it was.

�"QUATRE?!!!!"

�TBC?
