Tigger warning: suicide mentions
Falcon
There's nothing I could do,they took him before she woke up, they said he needs help.
Pills and cutting....just like his damn sister,the doctors are happy he's alive but he isn't feeling anything at all, the nurse told me I can see him for ten minutes before Isabella makes plans about the hospital stay and I plan on making those ten minutes memorable for him since he said he only wants me to talk to him if Ariel can't.
I walked in the rooms and smiled,he looks so tired and different,he isn't the happy boy that was walking around the house telling people random facts,he somehow looks like he matured over night.
"Hi"He says faintly.
"What happened champ? You scared the fuck out of us"I say and sit next to him,he gives me a weak smile and sighs."Life happened".
"What made you think this was a solution? Tell me".
"I don't know I'm just exhausted, I'm numb and school isn't helping me,I don't want to be perfect anymore, it's overwhelming me".
"What made you think you have to be perfect?".
"Pressure from everyone, I constantly feel like I'm only important if I tell random facts and if I play the piano, the guitar and the drums,I don't want to play instruments, I'm sick and tired of being bullied too".
I frown and get closer."Who's bullying you? I'll shoot them all"He smirks and runs his hands down his face."Being a dork doesn't do you any good if your surrounded by daredevils and cool kids".
"Being a dork is better than being a troublemaker,you can't go wrong, school is supposed to have kids of all kinds".
"What if I don't want to be the dork kind? What if I want to be strong to protect my sisters from all the bad in the world?"I smile, proudly for some reason.
"You can be a dork and be strong,fuck what does bratty kids in school say,fuck what your mom and dad say,fuck everyone and everything now,if it fucks you up to this point then it's not worth it,take a step back and stop worrying".
His eyes become red and his chin quivers."I don't want to go to the hospital,I want to go home".
"And you will, I'll bring your sister here and go shoot everyone that tries to stop me from taking you home"I stand up and stare at him determined, I'm not fucking bluffing.
"My baby".
I look behind me and see Ariel standing, tears running down her face as she stares at Xavier.
"Now it's the other way around sis huh? You come see me"He says jokingly and she runs towards the bed, throwing her arms around him and pulling him into a tight hug.
"Don't ever do that again,you wanted to leave me here alone,how did you think I was going to live? Without my fucking brother?"He hugs her back tightly.
"I'm sorry sis, I'm so sorry,I didn't think about anything, I just wanted it to stop for a second so I can rest".
"No don't apologize,you wanted to feel better,I should be apologizing I didn't notice you were struggling, I'm so sorry Xavier"They apologize to each other and cry for what feels like an hour, letting all the built up saddness go.
I left them alone and went to find the doctor so I can tell him I'm going to kill his whole family if he doesn't let Xavier home.
Him being a stupid motherfucker he is,he argued with me saying we don't know how to take care of Xavier now that he went through this,I called my helpers and they'll handle him later because of that fucking attitude.
"His sister knows what to do, he'll get a therapist and be in good hands".
"He is not okay, he needs professional-".
"Do you think putting him in a depressive building with bars and plastic cups will do anything? Do you? He has a higher chance being miserable there than home".
He stops and thinks for a second.
"His sister has been through it and she can help him like he helped her, I'm not letting that boy go anywhere were they have to wear special socks and shit in bags".
He raises his eyebrows in confusion."Sir they don't do-".
I take a step closer glaring at him."You will release him from the hospital and he's going home".
He swallows hard and looks around.
"Fine but if I check his record and he didn't have a therapy session-".
"He will have them"I say,cutting him off.
"Alright then,I guess he can go home"I nod and reach for my pocket,his face lights up thinking it's money.
"You're a stupid fuck"I say and pull my cigarette out.
"No smoking in here"."I don't give a fuck"I say and put the cigarette between my lips then light it."I'll be forced to call security on you".
"Go ahead"I say and lean on the wall,he looks at me in disbelief before scoffing and walking away.
Pussy.

Ariel
We somehow fell asleep after an hour of crying,I was woken up by my mother nudging my shoulder slightly.
"Shhh he'll wake up"She whispers and sits on the chair next to the bed.
I sit up and rub my eyes.
"What do you want?".
"I wanted to see if he's okay".
"No he isn't but he will be, I'll take him home with me"She smiles."I'm glad you will,he needs you and your sisters the most out of everyone".
"I don't want you or dad visiting him until he feels better"She nods sadly.
Of course I feel bad but it's for the best.
"I feel like I failed as a mother,my two kids almost lost their lives".
"It's not your fault mom, I'm very mad at you for everything that happened but I can't lie about something so serious, it's not your fault that this happened to us".
"I miss my old family, the one that didn't have a new scandal every single day"I chuckle quietly while tying my hair"I miss that family too,guess that one retired".
"I won't let it retire, I'm going to make sure we get it back before your wedding...if you ever allow me to watch you walk down the aisle of course".
I shake my head."Allowing you or not,this can't be fixed, it's dead and done".
"Never, as long as I'm alive"She says sternly and I smile,I miss talking to her,I wish this wasn't all so complicated and I wish I can just relax and stop being so hard on her, after all she was as hurt as I was by all this, she just didn't want to show it.
I clear my throat quietly and wet my lips with my tongue."I-I missed you mom".
She looks at me brightly,her eyes happy and surprised.
"You did?"I nod,my lip quivering from holding back tears,she pulls me in her arms and hugs me tightly,I missed her comforting hug more than anything.
"I promise you baby, I'll fix all of this, we'll do it together"She says while rubbing my back soothingly, as I cry in her arms quietly.
Now that she's hugging me like this I feel like a little kid again,this hug is making me feel like everything will be okay soon and I'll finally get to be happy with Falcon and Prince.
I'm seeing a glimpse of hope,maybe it's possible to fix all this before the wedding,maybe we can all have a long talk when Xavier heals.
