necroslacker: (start me up)

seattle ; tuesday

Sam had walked all the way back to his house after waking up completely lost yesterday. He still had no memory of what had happened and that was scaring him. But, he'd made it back after multiple people had offered him help and some food. He didn't know how he must have looked to them if they were offering him food and shelter and water.

But, he turned down each offer and kept walking. By the time he ended up back at the estate, his feet were bloody and sore, his stomach was growling and he was dirty and tired. It hadn't been a good day. There was fear clawing at him, deep inside his belly but he was ignoring it.

He stared at the door in front of him, almost not wanting to open it. He knew his friends would be on the other side, possibly angry, possibly scared and he wasn't sure if he wanted or even had the ability to face that down right now.

He needed help. He really did and he knew it. Maybe he could sneak in, pack a bag and leave. That's what it was coming too. He was going to have to leave and either find his uncle or...find Douglas.

Sam shuddered and turned the knob so he could slip inside the house. He'd shower, pack a bag quickly and leave.

"Yes," Natalie decided, trying to get to her crisis mindset, the one that let her get through the long days in the dungeon. All action and no worrying. She moved closer to the bed. "How much did you tell her?"

"As much as I could," Frank said, coming to stand on the opposite side of the bed and looking down at Sam sadly. "She's angry at Sam but worried. She said she'd bring something. Something about binding him temporarily."
whenshewasnice: (Clear water.)

[personal profile] whenshewasnice 2013-05-21 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Natalie just barely kept herself from wincing. "Well. He's not going to like that." But that was for later. She sat down on the edge of the bed and reached from Sam's shoulders, to give him a shake. Not too hard. "Sam! Wake up."

[identity profile] plumpys-inc.livejournal.com 2013-05-21 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
"Is that going to work?" Frank wondered, watching her shake Sam and watching Sam not respond for the moment. "Maybe we should try cold water?"
whenshewasnice: (Judging your worth.)

[personal profile] whenshewasnice 2013-05-21 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, get cold water then," Natalie replied, although she gave Sam a firmer shake just in case. "Because I'd rather go for that before slapping him. Sam!"

"You're gonna dislocate his neck," Ramon chimed in while Frank went for some water. "Maybe he needs to rest!"

Ramon didn't know. He was worried too.
whenshewasnice: (Keep it down.)

"Trust me, I am not using nearly enough force for that." She knew these things. Still, she stopped shaking him. After hesitation, she cupped his cheek, to feel his skin. "God, I hope his mom knows better than we do."

"I should probably call Brid," Ramon mumbled, eyes on Sam. "Her family's healed him before. Maybe they can do something now."
whenshewasnice: (Hang out with a starlet.)

[personal profile] whenshewasnice 2013-05-21 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Natalie looked up.

"Do it."

She was more than willing to call up anyone and everyone just to get this sorted out.

[identity profile] plumpys-inc.livejournal.com 2013-05-21 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
As Ramon stepped out to call Brid, Frank came back in with a glass of cold water.

"Should I do it?" he asked, looking down at Sam.
whenshewasnice: (Nothing for you to worry about.)

[personal profile] whenshewasnice 2013-05-21 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, you already have it."

She was going to look back on this later and acknowledge how ridiculous a situation this was. Maybe.
whenshewasnice: (Brainwork.)

[personal profile] whenshewasnice 2013-05-21 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
"You passed out," Natalie informed him matter-of-factly. Even after heaving a quiet sigh of relief. "In the closet. Ramon carried you out. In related news, you're not leaving."
whenshewasnice: (Expectant.)

[personal profile] whenshewasnice 2013-05-21 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Natalie raised one eyebrow. It was better than frowning some more. Somehow.

"You tried to hold yourself up against the wall, and then you collapsed."
whenshewasnice: (Far off things.)

[personal profile] whenshewasnice 2013-05-21 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
"You also didn't seem too keen on eating, or resting, or anything," Natalie pointed out. "You can't blame us for rounding up the reinforcements."

And it was weird to include herself in an 'us' with most of them, but there it was.
whenshewasnice: (Hide in plain sight.)

[personal profile] whenshewasnice 2013-05-21 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Natalie reached out to give his shoulder a gentle but assertive push back. "Sam," she said. "Don't."
whenshewasnice: (Guess that could be true.)

[personal profile] whenshewasnice 2013-05-21 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
"See?" Natalie said. "It's us against you."

She looked over her shoulder back at his mother, and gave her a little nod in greeting. That was better than starting to randomly feel guilty over everything in the past four months or anything.
whenshewasnice: (A great many things.)

[personal profile] whenshewasnice 2013-05-21 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Natalie agreed, even if she did so silently, watching them both while folding her hands in her lap.

Focusing on the present, instead of wondering how much of this was her fault somehow.

"I can bring my father here if it's needed," Brid said, having gotten here soon after his mother. Sam covered his face with one hand and took a few breaths.

"That might be necessary," Sam's mother said, still looking at her son. "Since I doubt a regular hospital would be helpful."

Brid shot a glance at Natalie but it wasn't out of anger or anything. Just...concern.
whenshewasnice: (Far off things.)

[personal profile] whenshewasnice 2013-05-21 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
They could get back to their grudges once the reason they were having them stopped trying to be dumb. Natalie returned the glance with a mild one of her own before looking back at Sam.

"Not to mention how much wrangling would go into taking him to a hospital."
