The nearest hospital to Adam Banks' place wasn't very close to Vegas' home, but he and his parents were on the next flight out, as well as Seth. Vegas was waiting anxiously in the waiting room, pacing back and forth while Seth stood off on his own by the window. The man looked haggard as hell, and nervous, and Vegas wondered what Murphy was going to think of Seth when he saw him. What he would think of all of them.

First his parents went back, and it felt like forever before they came out and his mother told him that it was his turn to go and see his brother. For a moment, he stood frozen to the floor, and he felt like he might be sick. What was he suppose to say to Murphy after all of this time?

But within seconds he was on his way down the hall, and the second he was in the room he just started to sob as he went to clutch a hold of his brother on the hospital bed. Murphy looked a little grey, thinner than he should have been, and Vegas could tell that he must have had an attack during the rescue because he had an oxygen tube up his nose.

"Oh my God," he muttered softly as he squeezed his eyes shut and held onto Murphy desperately, afraid he'd disappear if he didn't hold on tight enough.

Today had been a stressful day and Murphy was teetering on the edge of sanity. He'd always been fairly fragile as far as his health was concerned, but the three years spent in the little cage in the basement of Adam's home left his mental health deteriorating and today it threatened to snap. He'd said goodbye to all of the other boy's, watching as they went with their loved ones. Parker with Callaway, Shay and Elijah together. Reagan with Liam. Murphy was the last to have any family show up and by the time they got there he had been crying for almost an hour. The nurses kept trying to calm them down but he just told everyone to leave him alone. He didn't want to be around anyone, didn't want anything but to go back. He was too broken now for the real world, and he wanted nothing more than to go back to the safety of that tiny little cage. But he didn't have that luxury. When his parents came back he was quiet. he let them hug him and he promised them he was all right. They talked to the doctors and helped him through his breathing treatment. He'd gotten so worked up over them being there that they had to put a tube up his nose just to keep him breathing regularly and that made him feel even worse about the whole situation. When Vegas came back he was on the verge of crying again but he kept it together. At least until Vegas grabbed a hold of him. He wrapped his arms around Vegas and he just started sobbing, finally feeling like maybe this might work out. Just maybe.

Vegas squeezed his eyes shut and swallowed hard, thankful that he was getting some sort of reaction out of his brother. His parents had said that Murphy had been so quiet, not at all like himself, and Vegas knew that it was going to take a lot for things to even be remotely all right. His brother had been through a very traumatic and scary experience, and now he'd been conditioned to reject the real world for a much smaller one. That was terrifying to think about, but Vegas knew the reality of it because he could feel it from Murphy just as easily as he could breathe in air.

"Murphy," he said softly as he held onto his much frailer twin. "I missed you so much, so so much. I love you, I know this is all scary and I know you feel overwhelmed but I'm here and I'm not gonna let you go through any of it alone, all right?"

	"Don't cry," Vegas whispered as he tightened his arms around Murphy again and held him close. "We can go home with Mom and Dad, I'll stay with you," he said softly. "Talk to me, tell me what you're thinking. You can tell me anything, Murph. Anything. No matter what it is, I won't judge you, you know I won't." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Flying, a short flight," Vegas said softly as he took the piece of paper. He didn't need to ask who Parker was, he all ready knew that it had to be one of the other boys. He tucked the number away inside of his pocket and he brushed his fingers back and forth through Murphy's hair as they sat there together. "Would you like me to go get Seth?"

	Not even when he was in the depth of his drunkeness did Seth go so far as to look at anyone else. They weren't Murphy, and touching someone would only have reminded him of the one he wanted. "You're impossible to replace, Murphy," he murmured with a sigh. "When did they say you could leave?" He wanted him out of this place, and back where he belonged. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
