Forbidden Love HenryXRay

Chapter 8

Here's a pretty long update :D

Sorry for any grammar/spelling mistakes.

When Henry got to his parents room, his was surprised to see that his Mum looked worse than she did yesterday. He went over to her straight away.

"Mom, are you ok?" he asked her quietly. She didn't answer, and just took hold of his hand and squeezed it very gently.

They stayed like that for a few hours, Henry sitting silently, holding his mother's hand, Charlotte and Jasper amusing his dad; but then the heart machine attached to his mother began to bleep erratically. Some doctors came rushed into the room. They pushed Henry to one side and began to wheel his mother out of the room.

"Mom? MOM!" Henry called after her.

"Don't worry, Henry. She will be okay. I promise you," his father said. "Get him back to Ray, being here will only make him more upset," he added to Jasper and Charlotte.

They seized him under his arms and supported him out of the hospital and all the way back to junk-n-stuff.

"Do you want me to get rid of Jasper and meet you down there?" Charlotte asked him. Henry shook his head.

"No thanks. I just want to be alone," he replied. Charlotte smiled at him and patted him on the shoulder (she wasn't much of a hugger), but Jasper came over to him and hugged him tightly.

"We're here for you, Henry," Jasper said to him, before he and Charlotte left together. Henry went into the back and to the lift. When it opened, he pressed the down button and began the familiar fall. He didn't even have the heart to scream.

When the doors opened, he saw Ray sitting on the couch, his headphones on. He took them off when he saw Henry but looked alarmed at his expression.

"Henry what's the matter?" Ray asked him tentatively.

"My Mom's gotten worse," he replied, voice breaking as tears filled his eyes and threatened to spill over the edge. Ray walked over to where he was standing and wrapped his arms around him.

"She'll be ok, Henry. The doctors know what they are doing," Ray said, rubbing his back to comfort him. Henry nodded into his chest. When he had stopped crying he looked up at Ray and then kissed him gently.

"What was that for," Ray asked, when he pulled away. Henry shrugged.

"For understanding," Henry replied and then Ray leaned down and kissed him. "What was that for?"

"Just for being you," Ray said and then wrapped his arms around Henry again, his chin resting on the top of his head.

Henry felt himself being released from a bond that he didn't know was holding him. He felt the pain and sadness in his life washed away and replaced by the love that Ray held from him; a force so strong that it had the power to push all negative feelings out of his life.

He buried his nose into Ray's chest, and a cry escaped his lips. Ray pushed his away gently and held him at arm's length, wiping his tears away with his thumb. He was about to kiss Henry again, but then the alarm went off, and scared the life out of them both. Ray sighed and went over to the TV screens.

"What is it, Gooch?" Ray asked when Gooch appeared on one of the screens.

"Kidnapping in progress, (insert you own place here, because I have no idea what to say.)" Gooch replied.

"We're on our way," Ray said. He turned to Henry and took out his special gum. Henry did the same. "You know what to do."

They chewed their gum and blew their bubbles and turned into Captain Man and Kid Danger. They ran over to their individual tubes, slapped their belt buckles and yelled together;

"UP THE TUBE!"

When they got to the location that Gooch gave them, they could see what the problem was. A young boy, maybe about 10 or 11, was being dragged towards a car by two large men, who were wearing masks. The boy was screaming for help, but they were in a very isolated area, and there was no-one around to hear him.

"Put that boy down!" Ray said loudly, in is posh Captain Man voice.

"Look who finally decided to show up," one of the men said, in his gruff voice. Henry and Ray just glared at them. The boy had stopped screaming.

"Let's go! They're Captain Man and Kid Danger!" said the second man, the smaller (and clearly smarter) of the two.

"Whatever. I'm not afraid of them," the first man said. The boy saw his chance while the two men were distracted, and ran away in what the two superhero's hoped was the direction of home.

"Well, you should be," Ray said and then he ran at the first man, but then second man loyally stepped in to try to protect his friend, so Ray ended up fighting the second man, leaving Henry alone to deal with the first.

The man ran at Henry, and he managed to duck the first 10 punches or so, even attempting to throw in a couple of his own, but then he tripped, and the man hit him, right on the temple.

Henry was dazed, but he carried on fighting. He couldn't see in a straight line, so the next few punches hit him in the face and stomach. He fell down to the floor. He felt a sharp kick to his abdomen and a second one to his head, and he felt sure that this was it for him, and everything turned black.
