[CLOSED] like a puzzle.

Kellin closed the door, walking over to him. He reached out slowly, gently stroking his cheek. "The doctor's here to help you like you asked, Connor.. He's gonna make it okay.. You just gotta let him check you out, okay? Just let him look." He said gently, sitting down beside him. "Nothing's going to hurt you, okay? He's gonna fix it." He looked over at Ace, the boy chewing on his lip. He obviously knew something wasn't right about Connor.

"If you don't let me look, we can see if medicine will get the voices to shut up. But it might not work as well if I can't look." The doctor told him.

Connor gazed up at him warily, only able to find trust because he was a familiar face. And because he had helped unlike Deacon. The thought had more tears dripping down his cheeks. "Alr-right..." He whispered, rubbing at one of his freshly scrabbed wrists with a trembling hand. He lifted his head for him, terrified of seeing something he didn't want to again.

The doctor looked quickly into his eyes, then checked his ears. He seemed troubled by what he saw, started to tap his pen on his leg. "Okay, I tell you what. I'll get Ace to fill your prescription for you and bring it to you. But I need you to come by tomorrow before you get any sicker. And you will if we don't fix you." Kellin gently ran his hand through Connor's hair, looking over at him.

"You can stay with me if you want, okay? I'll keep you safe, okay?" Kellin offered, watching him hesitantly. He honestly didn't want Deacon to come after him.

Connor wanted to know what it was. It had just practically destroyed everything he had to even live for. He nodded, rubbing at his head with a shaky breath before curling up against Kellin. He felt sick, exhausted. He was still supposed to be bed ridden, far too much action in a day. His body shook occasionally and he opened his eyes warily every few seconds, just couldn't find sleep.

Kellin watched them leave before he grabbed a blanket Jack had left on the floor. He pulled it over him and Connor, hugging him close. He ran a hand slowly through his hair, looking down at him. He watched him carefully, wondered how long it would be before Ace was back with his medicine. "Everything's going to be okay, Connor.." He said quietly, hugging him a little closer. He hoped he didn't get scared again, or that he didn't leave. "When you take your medicine, do you wanna go find Deacon?"

[connor crayze sykes]

Connkr drew in quick breaths, nestling into the blanket and against Kellin's chest. He shook his head at the question though, just wanted to go back to sleep again right now, drew in another breath. Jon was there, Christy in his grip, and he cried out, sobbing softly as he tensed up. "NO!" Hebpulled away from Kellin, stumbling forward, and reached out. But he couldn't touch them and as he collapsed to his knees they vanished like before.

Kellin scrambled after him, wrapping his arms tightly around him. He didn't care if he didn't know Connor from Adam (no pun intended). He still wanted to help him. No one deserved to lose everything in a day. "Connor, it's okay.. No one's here.. It's just you and me, okay? Just us." He tipped his chin back to look at him. "See? Just me. That's all."

[connor crayze sykes]

Connor looked up, jaw trembling, eyes watering with unshed tears. He didn't know what was real and what wasn't anymore, closed his eyes and slumped against him with a shaky breath. "Ok-kay..." He whispered, trying so hard to believe him. He wanted to call Christy, make sure she was okay. But he didn't dare, afraid of scaring her.

[kellin jon perrette]

Kellin held him close, afraid he might get scared again. He just wanted him to be okay so him and Deacon could fix whatever was wrong. It obviously hurt Connor to be without his ring and his boyfriend. Kellin picked him up carefully, carrying him back to the sofa. He sat down, pulling Connor gently into his lap. He stroked his hair, hugging him close. "They don't go away if you close your eyes?" He asked.

[connor crayze sykes]

Connor huffed softly as he was lifted up, but didn't bother move away. He nodded some. At least the images did, but not every voice, not how edgy he was, the feeling that something wasn't right, that he wasn't safe. "I-I'm not crazy.." He choked softly. "I'm not...I-..this h-has never happened.."
