Deacon got into his car, heading over to the other end of town to Thatcher's house. He didn't care what happened to Connor at this point, could care less if he ended up bleeding to death. After what he had said, Deacon had resorted back to his cold self. He had meant what he said about Connor going back to Zoey. He looked back at Bandit, the little girl looking so innocent with her tiny white wings.

"I love you." He told her.

"Yub oo too." She said with a smile, sticking her cup in her mouth.

Meanwhile, Kellin saw Connor, thinking back to him at the hospital and when he had put him to sleep so many times for Deacon. But Deacon wouldn't let him wander around like this, would he? He walked slowly over to Connor, gently grabbing his arm.

"What's wrong, Connor?" He asked, his mismatched eyes searching his face.

Connor cried out at the touch on his warm arm, looked up sharply, eyebrows furrowing. He held out his bleeding hand, the ring gone, and began to cry harder. He looked around warily. "V-voices...." He rasped. "M scared..I-I need help..." He whimpered brokenly. "H-he told me to leave..." He drew in another shallow breath.

"Shh.. Come on.. It's gonna be okay.." He said quietly, gently taking his hand. He lead him slowly back to his house, opening the door for him. "Just come sit in the bathroom, okay? We'll get the blood out of your hand, and I'll see if I can't get someone to help you, okay?" He motioned for him to sit on the counter as he went thought the medicine cabinet. He pulled out a pair of tweezers and gauze, walking back over to him. He took his hand gently, starting to carefully pick the glass out.

Connor followed, looking around as he stepped inside, jumpy without a lick of trust. He pulled himself onto the counter, wiping blood from his cheeks with his right hand, pulling his dark wings close. Teeth gritted and he clutched his head, whispering a broken plea for the talking to shut up. He glanced up, jumping as again he seemed to see Jonathan in the doorway, heart pounding.

When he jumped, Kellin looked up, then over to the empty doorway. He gently grabbed his jaw, turning his attention to Kellin. "Hey.." He breathed, gently stroking his cheek. "There's no one there, okay? We're gonna get them out of your head, okay? Just sit still for me, okay?" He said quietly. He carefully picked another couple of shards out, then started to focus on the smaller pieces. "Talk to me, okay? Tell me something."

[connor crayze sykes]

"I-...." His jaw trembled, fresh tears falling down his cheeks as he gazed at him, terrified of looking anywhere else, seeing something else. "I l-love him.." He choked. "H-he took m-m-my ring..." He wiped angrily at his face. "Fuck h-him!" He sobbed.

Kellin straightened up, hugging him gently. "It's okay, Connor.. If you love him so much, then don't give up on him, okay? Try and fix it.. And if you can't then you'll just find someone else, okay?" He looked over at him, then dampened a rag. He wiped his cheeks gently, cleaning the blood off of his face. "You're a handsome boy. You can have anything you want. You just have to decide what's worth your time." He started to clean off his hand carefully, then wrap it in the gauze.

"You want to watch a movie and I'll call someone to come help you? I won't let anyone hurt you, okay?"

[connor crayze sykes]

"But I'm not worth anyone elses...I don't w-wanna love n-nom-more..." Fresh tears continued to FL, his breaths wavering and shallow. He felt hot, couldn't think straight anymore. It was driving him insane. He hugged Kellin back tightly, then waited for him to finish. "Ok-Kay..."

[kellin jon perrette]

"Don't say that.." He said quietly, hugging him again. He rubbed his back gently, hoping it would make him feel better. He gently lead him into the living room, turning on the TV. He put in the first movie he grabbed, then walked to the phone, calling the only person he could think of. It wasn't long before Ace showed up with one of the doctors from the hospital.

"What's wrong?" Ace asked, obviously worried.

"He said he's hearing voices.. He's seeing things. He's just asking for help.." Kellin said quietly, watching the doctor walk over to him.

"Can I look in your eyes and nose?" He asked Connor, sitting on the table in front of him. "You wanna tell me what's wrong?"

[connor crayze sykes]

Connor followed him out, sitting down and trying to focus on the start of the movie. But he was too edgy, jumpy. He tensed at the knock on the door, wings unfurling in a startled manner, eyeing the rest of the room. He still felt like he was being watched, glanced up at the doctor warily, shrank back and bared his teeth some, blue eyes hesitant. When asked what was wrong, he cracked however. "I-I dunno," He cried in agitation. He glanced towards the door. "C-close the door," He huffed, shrinking back more.
