Somewhere to Belong

Road to Recovery

[A/N: This is EXTREMELY long....I'm sorry not sorry]

"Alright Miss Harper you're free to get up and move around; just don't over exert yourself. I'll be at the desk down the hall if you need anything." A cute bunny nurse said as she unhooked the last of the angel's IVs. She beamed.

"Thank you nurse," The nurse just smiled sweetly before waving goodbye and leaving the room.

"So...uh Harper do you wanna go to the café to get something to eat with me?" Cross asked nervously as he watched her observing her brother, she sighed. Grabbing a chair she positioned it beside Cayne's bedside and sat down, totally forgetting about the fallen angel behind her. His tail flicked nervously as he lightly fluttered his wings, he frowned.

"H-Harper?"

"Huh? Oh, did you say something?" She asked absentmindedly tilting her head, he sighed running a hand through his hair.

"It's nothing, I'm gonna go to the café if you need anything....." He turned to go when he heard her chair scoot back.

"Cross wait."

"Yes?" He turned back around only to be bombarded with a hug, in an instant his face flushed.

"Could you get me some chocolate milk please?" Gazing up at him with large violet eyes she held his gaze for a moment not noticing as the flaming toon appeared in the doorway. Nodding his head, Cross said nothing. She smiled snuggling into his chest for a second before letting go.

"Thanks Cross."

"U-Uh huh..." He stammered blushing as he turned to go stopping in mid-turn as he saw Johnathan smirking in the doorway. He sighed shaking his head as he walked passed him heading toward the café with the flaming toon's quiet laughter echoing in his ears.

"Good morning, Harper. How are you feeling today?"

"Oh, hi Johnathan! I'm doin good...I can walk around now if I want." She smiled seeing the teasing glint in his eye; he nodded his head smiling as well before frowning. Turning her gaze back to her brother, her happy smile faded.

"How is he?" She shrugged tearing up; walking up to her side Johnathan laid a gentle hand on her shoulder as they both watched Cayne sleep.

"He still hasn't woken up...but he's alive......I hope he wakes up soon....." Harper sniffles with a stray tear running down her face as she gripped Cayne's hand. Aside from hearing occasional wheezes from him the room is pretty quiet until Abel and Bendy walked in.

"Hey Harp. How you doin? How's Cayne doin?" Bendy asked as he entered the room, she shrugged again, remaining in her quiet trance watching as Cayne's chest rose and fell slowly before a cough caused her heart to race. Panicking she watched in fear as Cayne's machines started to beep loudly, his blood pressure dropping and his heart rate racing for only a second before everything stabilized again. With a hand on her shoulder still Johnathan squeezed lightly trying to get her to calm down, with glassy eyes her shoulders began to shake.

"I can't handle this anymore...I feel like I'm gonna loose him again every time he coughs his machines go crazy and then steady......" As tears start to fall, they hear the light footsteps of someone walking close to their room. Abel glanced toward the doorway catching a glimpse as a familiar fallen angel walked passed, a list in his hand and a bat in the other as his white and black wings fluttered lightly the two nodded to one another in mutual respect before he disappeared down the hall.

"He's alright Angel Cake, he'll wake up soon." Bendy cooed lightly as Cross entered the doorway with a worried glance to Abel.

"Was that...?" He mouthed and Abel just nodded lightly, he frowned exhaling a sigh of relief.
