First Day of College, First Day of Freedom, I Think (CLOSED)

RE: First Day of College, First Day of Freedom, I Think

Oliver opened the door and saw Cassius on the bed, he stared almost stunned by the sight, the rest of what happened to him was a blur. All he remembers is calling for help, screaming as loud as he could and then rushing over to Cassius to untie him, as gently as possible, but also as quickly as possible. He never once worried about the blood that got on him. "Cassius, fuck, Cassius...what..who" he glanced at the word and knew exactly who. Next thing he knew he was on the phone with the police, trying to explain what happened and what he came home too. He was freaking out, he had no idea how to handle Cassius. He glanced at the stuffed dragon and frowned. He wasn't going to be able to fix it much this time.
After getting off the phone with the police and waiting for the ambulance to show up, he contacted Cassius's sister from the phone number he found on the internet and started to tell her what happened, in rushed sentences.
 
RE: First Day of College, First Day of Freedom, I Think

the entire time, Cassius just laid there, curled up into a ball and trembling violently as police came, and then his sister, the woman calmly stroking his hair as the ambulance came and carefully settled Cassius onto a stretcher, covering him with a blood stained sheet, the cops asking Oliver thousands of questions, how did the person get in? did Oliver have suspicions about who did it? where was Oliver when all this was happening? hundreds of repeated questions while Cassius was taken to the hospital and given twenty three stitches where the T had been carved too deeply. it was a mad rush as police gathered evidence, even stuffing the little stuffed dragon into a bag to test for DNA and other things, all of them just asking questions. a lot of questions.
 
RE: First Day of College, First Day of Freedom, I Think

Oliver answered all the questions he could, though he mostly just kept saying that Max did it. He frowned and watched Cassius be taken off in the stretcher and refused to answer anything more until he could see Cassius, having told the police all he knew five or six times already. He had no more information.
He sat in the waiting room of the hospital and fidgeted "I shouldn't have lost my keys..." he mumbled to himself "if I hadn't none of this would have happened. Hell, if I hadn't slept with Max, none of this would have happened." he held his head as he tapped his foot constantly on the ground trying to get his nervous edge off.

there was a movement by Oliver suddenly and Sylvana set her hand on his leg, trying to settle his nerves. "hey...calm down." she murmured softly, the soft smell of her shampoo, lilacs and Cinnamon, filling his nose for a moment. "none of this was your fault." she stated firmly. "your not the one who stole the key, your not the one who raped Cassius.. and your certainly not the one who should be feeling guilty. this is all that <ax fellows fault, and he'll pay for it accordingly." she promised carefully pulling Oliver into a hug. "you don't need to blame yourself, when the only fault, lies on that filthy bastards shoulders." she promised, stroking Oliver's hair calmly before releasing him and standing up, offering him her hand. "come on, Cassius is finished with the stitches and he's sort of awake. he was asking for you."
 
RE: First Day of College, First Day of Freedom, I Think

Oliver looked over to Sylvana when she put her hand on his leg. He nodded at each statement and took her hand "I just..." he started before shaking his head and following her to Cassius. "He really was asking for me?" he asked before looking over to Cassius. He moved over to the bed and tried to smile a little "Hey, you know, you really shouldn't make your room mate worry this much about you. It's not very polite." he chuckled, hoping that Cassius caught on that he was just joking.
 
RE: First Day of College, First Day of Freedom, I Think

Cassius looked almost stoned when the other walked in, staring at nothing, wearing nothing but bandages and a pair of hospital pants, sighing a little when the other walked in, relaxing a hair. "he...said terrible things..to me." he whispered softly. "said...he might go after you...just because..you where tight..." Cassius admitted. "i was..worried..that you would walk in on us...see him..taking me." he admitted swallowing hard. "he..had a knife...he...i think he wanted to kill me but..he got bored when i stopped screaming." he closed his eyes, tears falling free to roll down his face. "he said, he was going to get you next, because i liked you..because, i didn't deserve freinds... so..you have to be careful that he...doesn't get you too." Cassius slurred, a nurse coming over. "the sedative is kicking in." she explained, smiling at them. "your more than welcome to stay the night, to help him through the nightmares." "yes, thank you." Sylvana whispered, shaking her head. "of course we'll stay."
 
RE: First Day of College, First Day of Freedom, I Think

Oliver nodded "It's ok, Cassius, the police will get him long before that. I'm sure of it." he said, only trying to reassure the other. He looked over to the nurse and then instantly back to Cassius. "Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. I'll even stay here in the hospital, until you get better." he said and brushed some hair out of Cassius's face. Before sitting down next to the bed and sighed "You know, you cause a lot of trouble Cassius." he chuckled "I don't know how I'm going to fix that poor dragon plush thing of yours. But I'll do it, ok?" he said, trying to lighten the mood a little bit before Cassius's medication hit. "He'll be as good as new when you finally get him back, look like nothing ever happened. You'll never know..." he mumbled.
 
RE: First Day of College, First Day of Freedom, I Think

Cassius breathed softly as he slept, Sylvana shaking her head. "the police have it." she explained softly. "testing it for DNA... i honestly don't think it can be fixed." she admitted looking sad. "poor Cassie... everything bad...always happens to you." she murmured softly. "ever since you where a baby. colic, and then getting kidnapped, getting attacked by that gang, tearing your ACL and now gettign raped?...what sick god...hates you so much?" she asked softly, looking at her brother with pain in her eyes. "it's like Murphy's law, was written just for you..." she sighed a little and shook her head, glancing at Oliver. "i'm surprised your so worried about him...people usually hate him when they first meat him, he's not all that easy to get along with after all."
 
RE: First Day of College, First Day of Freedom, I Think

Oliver nodded "I know they have it, and I know it's going to be almost impossible to fix...but it's better than telling him that it can't be fixed at all." he said "I rather give him some hope." he mumbled to himself. He glanced over to her and fidgeted. "It's the least I can do after I told him no feelings would be involved. I don't lie or at least I try not to." he frowned. "Plus, he's not that bad." he said before eyes widening "Not like...I mean...like that but...not I, uh, I mean, he's good in other ways than just that." he said and grabbed his head, turning nervous again and fidgeting, very happy that Cassius was asleep.
 
RE: First Day of College, First Day of Freedom, I Think

she nodded and then smirked a little. "you like him don't you?' she asked calmly. "more than you'd like to...my brother likes you too." she admitted shaking her head. "i haven't heard him complain about you once you know, usually he's bitched up a storm by now." she sighed a little. "go ahead and let feelings get involved...right now, feelings are exactly what he needs." she admitted softly. "because i don't know, that he'll be able to handle sex right now, not after that." she admitted shaking her head. "he's going to need someone there, to reassure him that it's all going to be ok, and that he is still worth being freinds with...and if you can show him that...then maybe you two can be happy together." she smiled. "get married, and have little babies all over the place." she smirked at him to show that she was kidding.
 
RE: First Day of College, First Day of Freedom, I Think

Oliver fidgeted slightly and shook his head "I do not." he said, lying through his teeth, he had promised Cassius not to let feelings get involved. Well, not the feelings he thought he mostly likely had. "I'll be his friend and nothing more, that's what I promised him, and I intend to keep that promise unless he wants other wise." he said and looked at Slyvana, before shivering at the thought of babies "No thank you, I have a little sister and she's enough." he glanced at Cassius. "Do you know if there is a fabric shop anywhere around here? If anything I can make him a new one. I don't know how much he'll like that, but it's a just in case thing. I'm still gonna dry and fix it." he sighed "the blood probably will...and the other stuff..." he frowned "that shit is going to stain, maybe I can just find the fabric to match it and salvage what I can."
 
RE: First Day of College, First Day of Freedom, I Think

she smiled a little and set a hand on his shoulder. "i can get the fabric for you." she promised, sighing a little. "maybe... i doubt they'll be open right now." she admitted shaking her head. "you shouldn't lie to yourself Oliver. it's only been a few days at most, but you should know better...you love him." she smiled at him. "that';s not a bad thing you know, he needs someone to love, he's been terrified to ever since..." she sighed a little and shook her head. "i'll make sure to get the dragon and the fabric tomorrow, so you can see if you can fix him... i don't want Cassius to be alone..."
 
RE: First Day of College, First Day of Freedom, I Think

Oliver frowned at what she said "I'm not lying to myself." he said, his tone very serious. "I'm keeping my promise to him." he said and turned to look back at Cassius. "Until he tells me he wants or doesn't mind differently, I'm not confessing to him at all. I will remain his friend." he said changing tones. "I'll pay you back later, try to match it as close as possible. I honestly should probably go myself, that way I can grab my sewing kit as well." he said, his hand sitting on top of Cassius's.
 
RE: First Day of College, First Day of Freedom, I Think

she blinked at him and shook her head. "i'll pay for the fabric, since your doing the labor." she sighed a little. "buying the fabric is all that i can really do for my brother." she admitted softly. "i can't even comfort him...he won't accept it from me." she admitted softly. "he thinks he has to be tough for me, no matter the situation, so i don't worry." she admitted shaking her head. "it's really quite ridiculous." she admitted sighing a little. "i knew i should have made him start taking those Karate lesson's...maybe then he wouldn't feel so helpless all the time..."
 
RE: First Day of College, First Day of Freedom, I Think

Oliver sighed "Fine, since you have a more logical reason for buying something." he said and shook his head watching Cassius sleeping. "You'll have to grab my sewing kit, it's in the top draw." he said and shrugged "He's a runner. We don't fight, we run." he said "It's how it always will be, how we are in nature." he mumbled "Nothing like that will change, no matter what you do. He'll be fine, just needs some time."
 
RE: First Day of College, First Day of Freedom, I Think

she sighed a little and shook her head. "no...it's in his nature to be strong..to be the toughest, fastest, best... he used to like Karate as a child, justwak as much as he loved writing...he loved going to the competitions." she admitted sighing a little. "but after the..incident... he stopped caring about anything but running... it clears his mind and makes him calm...that's what he claims anyway but..." she shook her head. "he was a good fighter, he used to beat up the bullies in his school, so that none of the smaller kids got picked on." she admitted sighing a little. "i'll make sure to grab the sewing kit. until then i'm going to take a nap on the floor over there." she decided. "wake me up if you want me to take over watching him so you can sleep ok?"
 
RE: First Day of College, First Day of Freedom, I Think

Oliver nodded and smiled, thinking about Cassius as he ran "I think it does." he said and nodded glancing over before looking back to Cassius, and watching him. He never got up to ask Slyvana to watch after him, eventually though, he fell sleep. His head laying on the bed next to Cassius's hand, his hand still on top of Cassius's. He was a light sleeper though, just in case Cassius woke up from a nightmare or needed something.
 
RE: First Day of College, First Day of Freedom, I Think

Cassius didn't wake till morning however, whimpering softly as he opened his eyes, groaning at the harsh sunlight, his one hand gripping Oliver's hand tightly, the other shielding his face from the bright sunlight streaming in through the window. "too bright...uuh turn it off." he pleaded sluggishly, still too tired to function properly just yet, not sure what was making the bright light, but he wanted it to go away. Sylvana was already gone to get the fabric and things, and to tell her parents what had happened and give her report to the police.
 
RE: First Day of College, First Day of Freedom, I Think

Oliver woke up and looked at Cassius and looked really confused. He looked around "bright?" he said and moved to get up and close the blinds. "I got it." he mumbled and rubbed his eyes after he shut the blinds. "That better?" he asked and looked over, it was very obvious that he had stayed up pretty late and hadn't gotten much sleep worrying about the other.
 
RE: First Day of College, First Day of Freedom, I Think

Cassius let out a small whimper when the other let go of his hand, but looked like he was in less pain with the blinds closed. he nodded at the question, daring to open his eyes now that it was dim in the room. "Oliver?" he asked, sounding surprised. "your here?" he asked, licking his paper dry lips. "do you have anything to drink? i'm thirsty." he admitted, unable to voice how glad he was that the other had stayed, and chased away the nightmares with his calming presence. "will you stay with me?" he asked hopefully. "i don't want to be alone...i'm scared..."
 
RE: First Day of College, First Day of Freedom, I Think

Oliver moved back over and nodded "Yeah, I'm here." he said and smiled at him, about to head out to get something for Cassius to drink when he asked for him to stay. He sighed a bit and called a nurse to get Cassius something to drink. He moved back and sat down in the chair. "Did you sleep well? That medicine they gave you knocked you out pretty good. Remind me that if I ever need to go under, that's what I want." he chuckled a little bit, he didn't want the other to think about what had happened too much.
 
RE: First Day of College, First Day of Freedom, I Think

Cassius relaxed when the other stayed, closing his eyes a little. "i...didn't dream, at least." he admitted softly. "but i...i'm not sure how well i slept, i can't seem to remember." he admitted blinking at the other. "is the room ok?" he asked carefully. "he wanted to slash up all your stuff..." he shook his head a little. "i feel dizzy." he admitted. "is it the drug?" he wondered staring at the ceiling for a moment before looking back at Oliver. "do you think i'll be ok to start practice with everyone else? it's still almost two weeks away... i can be better by then right?"
 
RE: First Day of College, First Day of Freedom, I Think

Oliver shrugged "I wasn't really paying attention to the room. If he did, it's just stuff, I'll get it back." he said and nodded "I think so, they didn't say anything." he answered and looked at Cassius, "Cassius...do you really think you should push that? I mean, I know it's how you cope, but think about that Cassius, won't you be distracted? You've just been through something really traumatic." he said, trying to choose his words carefully so as not to upset him.
 
RE: First Day of College, First Day of Freedom, I Think

Cassius frowned a little. "but...running..." he sighed a little. "running is all i have left... i can't let...let him take that away from me." he whispered softly. "i will never let anything, or anyone take it away from me." he whispered, swallowing hard as he suddenly started to cry. "i'm so dirty... i can still...feel his hands all over me...laughing at me..." he admitted, shaking from the effort of holding back his tears, which was failing miserably. "i can't...i can't let him break me...not when...i'm already so broken..."
 
RE: First Day of College, First Day of Freedom, I Think

"Cassius..." he started and grabbed his hand "He didn't take that away from you. You can still run, just don't push yourself too much, you know?" he said and fought the urge to pull the other close to him. "It's ok, Cassius, it's gonna be ok." he said and squeezed his hand trying to prove that it will be ok. "I'll stay here, alright? I won't leave you and you'll get through all of it, ok? 'cuz that's what friends are for." he said, nodding.
