(Have to go. be back.... uh.... in two days?)

Mag nodded at him. Payback, sucker.

Ellise As they argued I pulled off my shoes and when the argument seemed to get interesting, i padded out of the room barefooted. "He's only having some fun" I placed within the angry voices "anyway, I think that doctors dieing so you know" I added as I grabbed Rouge by the shoulders and pushing in the seat were Aria had lain. In normal cercumstances, a attempt to manouver him would be helpless as he was stronger than me, but he was injured. "Mabye if you all stopped arguing we could work something out...." I trailed off Thomas I ignored their comments, even the sweet one from the girl. I sat looking at the pale yellow floor, pale and breathing slowly. I honestly wanted to die, nothing in the helpless world mattered much to me any more, including my selfish so called family. I stayed in my bubble of hate and depression, staring and stareing into the ugly sea of yellow....

Mag looked up from where she was and, changing moods yet again, went over to Thomas and sat in. his lap with her arms around his neck. "I would offer you the booze too, but he--" she glared at Rogue "--took it."

---

Thomas I looked at her and I had to admit, she got a smile out of me. "Well I suppose its the thought that counts" I grinned, brushing the hair from my eyes and settling back in my chair, her still perched on my lap

---

"How big is your family?" she asked curiously. "I mean, because if you have to work so much...." She stopped, remembering her own family. Well, actually, her parents--which had both passed away a few hundred years ago. "I mean, not to be nosy or anything."

---

I sighed "I have two parents who don't work and two little sisters" I explained "unfortunately, i have to support them all"

---

Rogue, overhearing the conversation, sat up. "Well, the answers simple; screw your parents, they should be the adults and support themselves, and as for your sisters , take custody of them and support just them. "He said. "Then again, that would be the nice thing to do. But honestly I say, screw them all and go off on your own. You're 18. So grow a pair and man up because if this is getting you down then you shouldn't be here in a hospital where people have so much more to worry about."He said.

---

She looked at him sympathetically, knowing her problem was the opposite, and kissed his cheek lightly, then settled back down lazily. Maybe she'd just sleep.

---

I sighed angrily "don't lecture me how to live my life, I can't leave then, for many reasons" I almost growled but my anger lowered when she kissed me
