1x1 w/ Anna and Echo

[AnnaCat17]

Circe followed him quickly into the room, worried about what he was going to do. Alex laid unconscious in the bed, one of his arms in a cast and bandages covering most of him, a knife or something having obviously been used against him in addition to being beaten. He was hooked up to life support machines that beeped, cutting through the silence of the room. A girl sat beside his bed with a tear streaked face. SHe looked over at Jace when he entered and tried to give him a faint smile. "Hey. You're the boyfriend, right?"

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

Jace knelt down by his bed, taking Alex's hand in his shaking ones. He rested his hand against his forehead, squeezing his eyes shut. He snapped his head up and glared at the girl as she spoke. "Shut up!" he snapped. "Just shut up!"

[AnnaCat17]

The girl cowered a bit away from him, looking at him nervously. "I-I didnt know this would happen. Im sorry." She said squeakily.

CIrce rolled her eyes at the girl, knowing she was just making things worse. "How about you go and check to see what their plan is for him?" She offered and the girl nodded, walking off quickly. Circe sighed and took the girls seat beside Jace, gently rubbing his back. "Hes going to be ok. Once he wakes up everything will go back to normal."

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

Jace looked back at Alex, biting his lip as his eyes welled up. He rested his forehead against Alex's hand, squeezing his eyes shut. "What's going to happen to his father?"

[AnnaCat17]

Circe looked away, trying not to let herself get upset again over Alex's situation. "Nothing. He is one of the head surgeons in this hospital and is close with the police so officially it has been report as an accident in which one of the horses kicked him and he fell down." She sighed and looked back at Alex. "I was considering calling June to see if her father can do anythign to help but I dont want to do much until Alex is awake to say what he thinks."

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

Jace gripped Alex's hand in anger. "I'm going to kill him," he muttered. "I'm going to kill him."

[AnnaCat17]

CIrce rested a hand on Jace's shoulder, knowing he was serious. "No, Jace. If you do that you will end up in jail for the rest of your life. Everyone will know you did it."

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

"As long as he ends up dead, I'm fine with going to jail," he snarled.

[AnnaCat17]

Circe narrowed her eyes at him. "You cant go to jail. I cant take care of Alex alone."

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

"Where will he live?" Jace asked quietly, holding on to his hand. "He can't go back to his father."
