Next morning, Annie is sleeping in the bath. But George is sitting against the bath and watches Paul who didn't open his eyes yet because huge swollen bruises. his lips which are swollen too and one got a cut, Paul is making sound of speaking which George can figure out a little bit.

"Jenny is fine Paul, no worry." George says when he heard Paul saying 'Jnney'. Paul sighs quietly. George strokes his forehead gentleoy  and without any press. "You will be alright soon." George says caring.

Paul who's trying to open his eyes feels annoyed, he meant something else to ask George but his mouth is to swollen to speak probably.

George fees guilty "I'm sorry.." George says. Paul slow and painfully moves his head towards George, he helps Paul gently. and makes his head rest onto his lap.

Paul starts shivering cold. Inside it's very cold, there is no heat and George puts his only Blanket onto Paul. George reaches for Annie who sleeps in the bath, to make her awake, he needs to make her awake, she should heal Paul, but then in past few weeks she didn't sleep much and she needs sleep. He notices he can't poke her awake and sighs, he stroke Paul's forehead gently who still tries to open his eyes. "Just rest Paulie" George says calmly. Paul gives up with opening his eyes and just rests, feeling safe with George.

Annie wakes up and sits up. She looks at George "Morning Georgie." she says.

George turns his head to her "Morning love, can you help Paulie now.." George asks.

She nods and climbs out the bath and looks for other medical stuff, and finds some in the bedroom. "Georgie can you carry Paul over?" she asks friendly. George picks Paul gently up and carries him to the bedroom, Annie took the stuff out she needs to use and makes her hands ready for using IR. George lays Paul on the bed who makes a painful move. Annie uses IR on Paul's eyes and mouth first.

---------

There is a bottle fresh water in front of Jenny's house, Jenny is taking Elsa back home because now she knows Paul is safe with George without knowing how bad he's looking. She sees the bottle but first opens the door to bring Elsa inside. She goes back to the door and picks up the bottle there's a little text onto it. in front of every door is a different bottle with letter. She looks at the text and it seems like a commercial about drank. she takes it and tastes a half glass,but doesn't taste bad and pretty much looks like water with a great taste. 

---------

Paul slowly opens his eyes. George smiles at him while Annie is still busy. "Hey." George says to Paul.

"Hhhey.." Paul brings out his mouth. His eyes look traumatic but tries to feel safe, knowing George is there and knowing he won't leave him alone. The IR start to work on Paul's lips, the swelling takes off slowly.

George starts grinning, happy the IR has finally good effect, but Annie is exhaust and needs to rest. All her tries from yesterday evening makes her quicker exhaust.

"R-rr-est.." Paul whispers out his mouth and she listens and takes some rest.

George is still gently stroking Paul's forehead, giving love like friends are doing to each other.

Paul looks at George, having a few shivers caused by pain.

"It's gonna be alright Paul no worry." George says with the most calm and comfortable voice he has.

---------

Jenny who tried a bit of the 'water' feels dizzy, she tries to catch the sofa but faints onto the ground.

Elsa hears her fall and moves over. "mama?" she asks unknowing. "Mama..!?" Elsa calls louder, shaking Jenny. "MAMA!" she starts crying.

---------

Paul finally got stable enough to move himself a little,. Annie is still healing the burnings on his skin. George is just trying to be there for him like a father or a brother.
