*ADDICTED*{A Criss Angel Fanfic.}

~10~

Two months went by very slowly with Criss going into quite a few very bad spells of the DT's and broke into sweats and had the uncontrollable shakes, but it didn't get extremely bad until he started seeing things that weren't there. Criss wasn't afraid of spiders or snakes, but because of the DT's he was always panicking and seeing them crawling all over him, then a few times when they went in the room to see him he was talking to people that weren't there, telling everyone that he was talking with his dad, and Shelly, and she was wanting him to go with her. Dimitra held onto her son and told him that he was going to be alright and that she was gone, and he couldn't go with her now because it wasn't his time to leave.

After the delusions and the shakes went thru his system, then came the blood-curdling screams and horrible nightmares, leaving him waking up in ice-cold sweats and crying and shaking uncontrollably from fear and sadness. But the doctor came by and told them that it was safe for him to be released from his bindings, that he should be ok now. But then the doctor just reminded them to keep their eyes on him for a while just to make sure that he didn't try to kill himself, for that was the only thing they had to worry about now, beens he was cleaned from the drugs. Stoney told the doctor that it wasn't over with, that even though he was clean and dry from the drugs and the DT spells were over with, it was time for the cravings to come back along with his remembrance of his family hurting him emotionally would make him want to go back to it to help him forget, and make him numb from the pain.

The doctor looked at Stoney and asked him if he's been thru this same experience personally. Klayton without removing his sunglasses told the dr right out that he used to be in the same boat as Criss is now, the only difference was that Criss's father and Mama D was there for him and helped him thru it. Then he looked at the doctor and said but it was ancient history, and he moved on and was living just fine because he had his little sister to keep him on the straight and narrow until he found the right girl to marry so she could take over Kc's job, so Kc could find the right guy in her life. The doctor gave a slight chuckle and said he always hoped for the best when it came to finding true love...but then he liked reminding people that love was also a painful thing, and should always be careful so one doesn't lose themselves during the process.

Dimitra thanked the doctor as she and Costa walked him and his nurse to the door as he let them all now that he wouldn't be coming back to the house unless there was an emergency then he told them all not to hesitate to give him a call anytime day or night. Stoney and Kc were in the bedroom with Criss while Stoney was asking Criss if he was ready to be removed from his bonds and move around on his own, but he added only if he promised to be good, and not try to do anything stupid like killing himself or trying to run away again. Because if he did, he would be tracking him down again, and giving him a little of the same treatment that he gave him before...as Stoney pretended to spit on his fists, then told him that it was for keeping him from setting his face a fire when he beat the shit out of him.

Criss chuckled at him and told him to stop with his idle threats and get him the hell out of the fucking bed before he kicked his ass. Kc removed the straps from his arms as Stoney moved the straps from his legs and waist. Criss sat up on the bed as he stretched his legs and arms, then he slowly stood up and walked in a small circle learning to get his balance back, after being locked down in bed for months on end. He walked out of the room, and noticed right away that all of his family pictures and all of his wife's things have been removed from the house, for a while he was rather pissed off about it, but quickly calmed down knowing that his family was just trying to help him. And seeing images of them right now would put him back into the same rut he was in before. He knew he had to move ahead and let the past stay in the past, and let the dead rest in peace...no matter how hard it was, he had to do it if he was going to survive. But with his crazy ass buddy Stoney there to beat him into it, and Kc being there to help him thru his emotional despair. He really thought he could do it. 

He followed his nose to the kitchen where his mom was making lunch for everyone and doing some baking just because she was in better spirits now that her little boy was on the better half of the mending stage. Criss came in and kissed her on the cheek as he wrapped his arms around her from behind and apologized in her ear for his desperate behavior, and promised her that he would fight it from now on, and if he ever thought he was going that far down, he would ask his mommy and brothers for help, before going off the deep end again. Dimitra took a break from baking and turned around to face him and hugged him as tears were free falling now and told him how much she missed and loved him so much and to never scare her like that again! Because she just couldn't take it anymore!! Criss kissed her again as he shed a few tears of self-disappointment and promised her that he would be ok. Then he went to Costa and apologized for everything and gave him a bear hug. JD didn't care for words he just jumped right in and gave them both bear hugs and said it took him long enough to come back. Just then Kc came in carrying a beautiful cat, handed him to Criss and told him it was a gift from her to him.
