The Rainbow After the Storm (Heavy Rain RP.)

[LadyGalleth]

Norman smiled when he felt her kiss him. "Thanks. You're very special, too." He chuckled and looked back up again. "Well, whatever that thing is is annoying!" He growled, "It's, uh...it's doing something. Not sure what, yet, but something," he shrugged and looked over at Madison. "So...now that you know what I've been up to, how was your day?" he giggled and looked up again. "Man. This thing is making me crazy!" He laid back on his pillow, listening to the sounds of rain and repositioning. He felt his eyes grow tired, but wrenched them open to talk to one of his favorite people.

"Yes, Ethan, Shaun's alright." Grace explained, leaning against the wall. "He, um, he's in another room, that Zayden man is watching him." She pursed her lips and looked around. How bad was he? What exactly happened? Was he alright? All of those questions ran through her mind. Who else was involved in that accident, and how did it happen?
~~~

Shaun laughed as the bag dripped again. "Hey, Mr. Zayden...what exactly happened? I, um, I don't remember a lot." The boy asked, turning his head to him. "Was there an accident?"

[GBHORROR]

Madison shrugged, smiling. "Hectic, to say the least. But I really wasn't doing anything until this all happened. Just working on some stuff." she said. She then noticed him growing tired and laughed a little. "If you wanna take a nap, I can go check on Shaun or Ethan or something. Or I can stay right here. You need rest, though." she said.

Ethan nodded. "That's good." he said, closing his eyes and swallowing. Felt like he was swallowing nails. He wondered why his throat hurt; he didn't feel sick or anything, it was as if he had just..he didn't know. "How was he? How hurt is he?" he asked, turning to look at her.

Zayden nodded slowly. "Yeah, there was an accident." he said gently. "Some people who were drunk were on the wrong side of the road and were coming right at you guys." he said. Really, they were lucky they were alive; if they would have actually collided..well, he didn't want to think about that, and he especially didn't wanna say that.

[LadyGalleth]

Norman wrenched his eyes open again. "I'm alright. I can hold out for a little while longer," he said with a smile, "I'm tough." He laughed and looked over at her, taking her hand in his. "How are you?" Jayden cleared his throat and rubbed his thumb against her knuckles. "I know...the last couple of days haven't been easy. Any more origami?"
~~~

"He's ok, Ethan," Grace said gently, sending a glance his way. "He, um, from the looks of things, he looked cut pretty bad. But, he's fine now!" She said abruptly, hoping not to say anything negative. "He's fine now. He's taking a nap, and doctors are checking on him through out the night." the mother explained with a gentle nod.
~~~

"Really?" Shaun asked. "Oh." He repositioned carefully. "Dad doesn't drink. I think drinking is gross! It makes your breath smell all funny, and makes you act insane!" Shaun chuckled, turning his head to the heart monitor. That was the first time he actually noticed his surroundings, aside from the dripping bag that was making him sleepy. And the rain, he now noticed the rain, making Shaun more nervous and jittery being here in the hospital. He jumped when thunder roared through the clouds.

[GBHORROR]

"If you say so," Madison said, fixing his hair absentmindedly. She then shrugged. "Okay, I guess, considering." she said with a smile. "Guess there's no use in asking how you are, huh?" she joked slightly. "No, no more origami. You?" she asked.

"Well, I'm glad." Ethan said tiredly. He felt his throat tighten up. This was all his fault. He had put his son in danger again, and it was his fault. He could have died, and it would've been his fault..all over again. "I'm sorry, Grace. I'm sorry." he said, his voice barely audible. "I'm not so great of a father." he muttered.

Zayden nodded in agreement. "Yeah, drinking is disgusting. And now you see what happens if you do stuff like that." he said. He noticed him jump and placed a hand on his shoulder. "It's alright. Would you like me to pull the curtains over the window?" he asked. It wouldn't stop him from hearing the storm, but he figured it would at least help a little.

[LadyGalleth]

Norman shook his head, or tried to at least. "No. Just the one we found on the piano in the bar, " he shrugged. "Oh, yeah! I'm sunshine and rainbows!" He popped his eyes and shouted sarcastically, shoving his hands in the air, despite the pain. "I think I may have some broken ribs..." He looked over at Madison and gave her a flirtatious grin. "You're a nurse. Why don't you check me out."
~~~

"Ethan...Ethan..." Grace shook her head and warily walked over to her exe husband, sitting in the dreadful chair. "You're not. You're not," She said gently, tapping his hand oddly. "Nothing was ever your fault, Ethan. I promise you that. " She, then, hung her head as thunder clapped over head. "No matter what may have been said...what I've said." She tried to smile, but, instead, only looked up at him again. "Ethan, you're a great father. Not a lot of people would have gone through what you did to save their child, Ethan. You're a fantastic dad and a wonderful husband."
~~~

Shaun, tears streaming down his face, nodded shakily, throwing a nervous glare at the window panel alined with flowers. Were they for him? Shaun smiled, but laid his head down on the pillow when he heard another clap of thunder, visibly crying but wiping them away. A lot of bad rings could happen in the rain. A lot of bad thing did happen in the rain. Even recently, it didn't stop raining.

(( All of your paragraphs lately have been so symmetrical in length, while there's always just one of mind longer than the others! ))

[GBHORROR]

Madison nodded. She hoped they wouldn't find any more, but a bad feeling told her that this wasn't the end of this mess. She just hoped everyone getting hurt was over. She then blinked and blushed slightly, giggling. "As much as I'd like to, I don't think the doctors would appreciate it." she said.

Ethan turned his head over to Grace once more, though he said nothing, not even twitching when she tapped his hand. He just stared. What could he say? No matter what she said, he knew he had failed. But he really appreciated the fact she could at least try and console him. "Thanks, Grace. And thanks for coming to see me." he said quietly, looking at the tiled floors.

Zayden quickly closed the blinds on the window and then pulled the curtains over the glass as to cover it. He turned to Shaun. "Better?" he asked, his smile fading when he noticed him crying. He went back and sat beside of him. "What grade are you in now, Shaun?" he asked, trying desperately to change the subject.

(LOL! xD)

[LadyGalleth]

Norman smiled as he repositioned. "I suppose you're right." He rolled his eyes and stretched again, yawning. "I hope this day will be over soon...I hope this will all be over soon." Jayden flicked his eyes over to the window as it thundered again. "Great..." He mumbled, running a hand through his hair before laying his head back on his pillow. "The most frustrating thing, though, Madison, is that, despite all that's happened, it isn't any better. Yeah, the Origami Killer is gone, but..now we have this person running around. Targeting us, too." Jayden rolled his eyes and curled up, getting the blanket closer to him. "It's just so...I don't know."
~~~

"You're welcome, Ethan," Grace whispered quietly. After a few seconds, she frowned, not recognizing any changes in Ethan's behavior. She slowly got up and crossed to the door, putting a hand on it before leaving, "I'll, uh, I'll come back later. I'm going to go get something to eat and check on the others." She stared at her exe husband again before gently shutting the door and leaving down the hall.
~~~

"5th." Shaun said through the tears. "I'm in 5th grade." He whimpered, looking over at the FBI agent. He was trying to help, and help he did. Shaun no longer had to look at the rain. Of course he could hear the rain droplets hit the window, but at least the sound was muffled because of the curtains. "Yeah...I like it so far," the boy dried his tears and tried to smile at the agent.

[GBHORROR]

Madison frowned. "I'm sure you guys will figure this out before anything too bad can happen. I mean, this guy isn't as smart as the last guy was." she said. "He's just placing origami figures around everywhere without any rhyme or reason, or that's what it seems like. There has to be some trace of DNA on one of the folds or something." she said. She then rose from her chair. "I'm gonna go grab something to eat, I think. Do you want or need anything?" she asked.

Ethan nodded numbly before turning back towards the window, watching the rain in silence. He gave into sleep once more, his headache bothering him too much for him to want to stay awake.

Zayden smiled. "That's good. I'm glad you do." he said, leaning back in the chair slightly. "Uh, do you want anything, Shaun?" he asked, making sure he didn't need a drink or something like that.

Graybay walked down the hallway, planning on leaving all by herself when she saw someone she recognized. Wasn't that Ethan's ex-wife or somethin' like that? She ran up behind the woman, poking her in the back. "Hey, what are you doing here?" she asked curiously.

[LadyGalleth]

With a yawn and another drip of the IV, Norman turned his head to Maddy-Moo, smiling. "Um...come to think of it, I am a tad bit thirsty." He told her, feeling his mouth dry up as soon as he spoke. "Whatever they have in this dang bag must be dehydrating me or something." he commented, looking up at the dripping bag again. "So, if you would, please go get me a soda or somethin'?" Norman pleaded, looking back over at her with his hands clasped together. "You're so nice." He called after her. Once he was alone, he pursed his lips, thinking. My curiosity is going to get me killed one day, I swear it! With a roll of his eyes, he placed his head back on the pillow, listening to the rain and waiting for Madison to come back. Man...I really want to play a piano right about now...
~~~

Shaun, trying to keep his eyes open, looked over to Zayden in a tired haze. "Hm, yeah!" He shouted, smiling. "Can you go get me a bag of chips from somewhere, please, Mr. Hendrix? I'm really hungry." The boy glanced over at the pole with the dripping bag, "This...thing must have down something to me." He replied, turning back to Hendrix. "Do you mind getting me some Cheetos? They're my favorite!" Shaun cheered, "Dad used to get me those all the time."
~~~

When she thought she felt someone poke her back, Grace turned around, making sure her purse didn't hit whoever it was behind her. "Hello." She greeted. This girl looked oddly familiar. But why? Had she said her somewhere? She looked at the girl with a flickering smile. "Um, yes. My ex-husband is in the hospital." He explained as she shrugged it off in her mind. Must be a friend of Ethan's. "He was in a car accident, and some FBI agents tried to save him. Agent Jayden's in here, too, and so is my son, Shaun." She smiled again. "My name's Grace," she offered, holding out her hand to this girl.

[GBHORROR]

Madison smiled at him, nodding. "It's no problem. I'll go get you that soda." she promised, leaving and shutting the door gently behind her.

(Ah, this is so short! I'm sorry Dx)

Zayden rose from his seat again, stretching and popping his knuckles. "Sure, Shaun." he said with another smile, digging around in his pocket for change. Luckily, he had some. "I'll be right back, alright?" he said, turning and walking outside. He walked down the long hallway, thinking to himself. Shaun was so different from him. When he went through things when he was younger, he closed himself off from everyone. He'd be lying if he said he wasn't still a little cold towards people and rude, but it was 100x worse when he was younger. He basically had no childhood because of his own attitude. But Shaun..Shaun still managed to be happy despite everything. If only he could've been more like him.

Graybay's eyes widened. Ethan, Shaun, and..Norman! Norman was in the hospital, and she was being too selfish to even..
Wait. Why did this bother her so much? Psh, it's only because he saved my life and was in the hospital with me, she thought to herself. It wasn't a very convincing or reassuring thought even still.
"Oh, um..I'm sorry." she said, shaking her hand. "Graybay." she said. "..Hey, I, uh, gotta go! Sorry! But thanks for the information!" she said, running off to find the front desk and then find Norman.
