Disenchanted.

Chapter 10: Only hope for me is you

Denver groaned, he blinked his eyes a few times before he was actually able to open them. It took some time for him to remember what had happened.

He was staring at the white ceiling as he recalled, the accident and realised where he was. It was only after he heard the snoring beside him that he actually came to life.

Skyle was there, on the bench at the wall, his legs hung over the other side as his head rested on the handle and he was snoring away.

There was a knock on the door that made Denver turn his head from his sleping brother. The door opened partially before Adam and Andy walked in.

"Den, how do you feel?" Adam asked running to his other side. Denver chuckled "Gorgeous, like always" he replied and earned a smile from Adam.

"Oh, uhh- my brothers will be back, Jase and Mike went home for Bee and Gabbi-" He stopped short when Denver realised that Adam was looking at him with warning eyes.

"Gabbie uhh- went to get some food" Andy finished, scratching his neck. Adam looked back at Denver, who was now trying to get up. " No, no you gotta lay here for a while " Adam said pushing a reluctant Denver down.

"What happened? " Skyle left a yawn as he sat up straight. His face clouded with worry as he scrambled to Denver " Den, how you feeling? " He asked.

Denver laughed " I'm fine, stop mollycoddling me " He said. And then, Denver's mind actually wandered , " Where's Cone? " He asked. Suddenly the room became stiff, a tension hung in the air, something told Denver, this was not a good subject.

"He uhh- he he's fine" Skyle said after a pause, Denver could tell that his smile was fake. "Yeah he's just taking rest" Adam said,
"At home" He added, also fake smile.

Denver looked right through both of them but the most he knew was when he looked at Andy. Seems Andy was not very good with lies, he was fidgeting, shuffling his feet, playing with his hands.

Denver sighed " Tell me what it is" He said rubbing his eyes. Adam gave in as he sighed, dreadfully. But Skyle wouldn't
"Nothing, he's at home. He's been here everyday, and he's a bit tired " He said smiling again.

Denver rolled his eyes and looked at Andy directly. He called the little boy over " What happened? " He asked calmly. "Connie is missing" Andy blurted out, as tears fell from his eyes slowly.

Denver's face overcame shock and realisation as he still processed what the trembling boy had said. "What?!" He asked softly.

Skyle looked at Adam and nodded. Adam slowly got up, he put an arm around Andy as they slowly walked out. Skyle now looked at Denver directly, he saw the hurt on his face.

"We didn't wanna tell you, because we knew you would react this way. You need to rest now, the doctors say the crash was pretty severe to you and you can have damage in you body. You can also have brain damage and that will not be good for you Den, trust me. " Skyle tried once again.

But Denver was determined " What the hell happened? " He asked with his teeth clenched as if he was ready to stab anyone who came in front of him now.

Skyle sighed " The day you crashed, Connor was supposed to meet you right? So he left the station, Gabe taking his place. But then we found you, crashed and all that but we couldn't find Connor. We tried to call him, looked in all the places he could be. Home, the station, the shops, his favourite haunts and even-" Skyle paused for a moment.

"Even, the broken station. But we couldn't find him anywhere, he wouldn't pick up calls. And we still don't know what has happened to him " Skyle finished as he put a hand on his eyes, pretty exhausted.
