done, leaving out the broken photo.”

“Probably
at home”
replied and then yawned “I know he’s scared of my career ending if we come out
but I love him so much Liv. I wanted this week at the ranch since we haven’t
had alone time in the past four months. We’re always sneaking around avoiding
the public. Is it so wrong to just want some time alone with him?”
“No it’s
not” Liv shook her head and pulled him up from the couch. “You go and lie down

of fun to.
“Love you

whispered before he fell asleep.
“Love you
too elf-boy” she said as she held him tight, also nodding off a few minutes later.

Liv woke up
the next morning from a knocking on
door. Being careful not to wake the sleeping man she got up and opened the door.
“Lijah” she said as she gave him a hug “We need to help. Orli has totally
screwed up and Viggo won't even speak to him.”
Elijah
nodded and he walked with Liv into the kitchen area to get something to eat. “I
know” he said “Viggo isn’t even answering his phone. He knows we’re going to
try and call him. What is wrong with him?
used to be the most important person in his life.”
“I have no
idea” Liv said “But Orli had a rough night. He was tossing and turning the
whole time and he felt a little hot but I think that’s due to all the stress
the past few days.”
“Where is
he now?” Elijah asked.
“Still
sleeping” Liv replied.
“Shit”
A voice
caused both of them to run into
room. They found him sobbing and shivering on the carpet and for the first time
Liv saw the bandages covering his feet.
She gasped
when she saw the blood splotching through in some areas. His socks on the floor
were also stained with blood.
“Orli”
Elijah knelt next tot the young man “What happened?”
“It hurts
Lijah”
sobs “I can't stand on them. I stepped in glass and tried to bandage and clean
them myself before I came home.” He didn’t even wonder when Elijah arrived, so
zoomed out was he.
Liv helped
on the bed while Elijah got him some water. She began to undo the one bandage
and called to Elijah.
“Phone a
doctor” she said as she took a towel to press against his feet, causing him to
hiss in pain. “These cuts may need stitches. They’re quite deep.”
Elijah
nodded and went into the living area to get his phone. Minutes later he came
walking into the room. “I’ve called Debra Wilson, a friend of mine. She can see
him now so we need to get him there.”
“
lifted
head “I need you to get dressed. Elijah is going to call a cab and we’re going
to take you to a doctor so that she can look at your feet.”
to be dressed.
Liv
carefully put on some shoes for him and then she and Elijah helped him to where
the cab was waiting.
It took
them some time since
could barely walk, where he was pacing around the previous night while he was
talking to Liv. He looked so scared and alone that Liv couldn’t help but
wishing that Viggo was there so that she could kill him for hurting her friend.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was
about a ten minute drive to the doctor and the non responsiveness from
He just sat staring in front of him and Liv could feel him trembling slightly.
“Here we
are” Elijah said as he paid the driver and then helped Liv to get
to lean on him the younger actor helped his friend through the door and took
him directly to Debra’s office as the receptionist indicated. Liv grabbed the
forms from the nurse and followed them into the office.
“Hey
Elijah” Debra greeted as she looked at them. “Help him lie on the bed there”
she said and moved to the sink and washed her hands. After she had donned a
pair of latex gloves she moved to examine
feet. Cringing, she looked up at him. “Hello
You had quite a disagreement with the glass hey?”
as his feet throbbed again. They were now very tender and her felt them
stinging more than ever. He tried to think of something else as Debra poked and
prodded his feet to determine the extent of damage done by the glass.
“What
happened?” she asked as she got a pair of tweezers and pulled some glass from
his foot.
he tried to clean them and kept them dry the whole time. He also answered her
questions as to how he was currently feeling. He was a little dizzy and tired.
“There’s
still some glass in his feet” she said as gently covered his feet in a light
gauze. “I’ll need to book him for surgery I’m afraid. That glass needs to be
cut out and you know I can't do it here. The cuts are also still bleeding which
is why he’s so light-headed and pale. I’m going to have him admitted to
hospital and then remove the glass and stitch the wounds. We’ll see how he
feels before deciding when to release him.”
“
looked at the young man “I’m going to give you a shot of painkiller so long to
keep you comfortable, okay?”
The Brit
nodded and she quickly and painlessly injected him.
“I’m going
to have Lillian call the hospital and book him in. We’ll get a wheelchair over
so that he’s as comfortable as possible.”
Elijah
nodded while Liv walked over to
and took his hand.
“Please
don’t leave me” he begged and Liv nearly cried as she saw the misery in his
eyes. He really hadn’t meant to hurt Viggo.
“I won't
Orli” she said “I promise.” She continued to hold his hand and watched as he
calmed down and relaxed.
A
wheelchair was brought in a few moments later and they helped him to sit down.
Lucky for them her office was part of the hospital complex and they didn’t have
to walk far.
“Give this
at reception” she said as she handed Elijah the note “I’ll try and book him as
soon as possible and then I’ll let you know.”
Elijah
nodded and wheeled
from the room and then walked over to the hospital. Soon they had
room and Elijah helped him while Liv walked into the lobby to make a call.
“Thanks
honey” she said as she closed the phone and then left to go and get
needed from his apartment.
