The guys had all met up for a practice and to get on with writing the new album. Obviously they went straight into the games room for a few hours.
Ray was challenging Gerard to a game of guitar hero and Bob,Mikey and Frank were playing some games on the XBoxes.
After they all had enough of the games and moved into the living room to actually get some work done they start by running through a few of there favourite songs first. As they were half way through Headfirst for halos Ray yepled in pain and stopped playing gripping his hand blood flowing down his harm and over his guitars.
Bob rushed over to him from behind his drum kit "Ray dude what happened" he asked trying to comfort his bandmate "stupid fucking guitar attacked me" he growled.
Frank and Gerard were giggling behind him "oh just shut the fuck up you two" he yelled storming out the room chucking his guitar on the floor and slamming the door as he went.
*time lapse*(its the next day)
After wrapping up practice as they could no longer continue without Ray and a very pissed of drummer they had all gone to bed, Gerard and Mikey in there rooms Ray in the spare and bob and Frank on the floor and sofa in the living room.
Today they had all organized to go to the local GoKarting track a bit of fun after being away from each other for so long.
They posed for a photo that they thought the fans might like to see to show that they were together and working on the new album before getting in there karts and onto the track.
They raced at each other Ray and Frank in the lead Bob and Mikey close behind with Gerard trying to gain control of his Kart a metre or two behind them. As they neared the sharpest bend Frank moving in close on the tail of Rays cart they both turned at the same time Frank hitting the back of Rays kart. Rays kart skidded around spinning into the barrier at a fast speed turning it over ontop of Ray, Frank being unable to stop intime hit him full on.
The others all slowed to a stop and jumped out of there Karts running over to Ray who was lying motionless on the floor. Blood was trickling from his helmet and other parts of his body and his leg was out in a unnatural angle.
Bob knelt down beside him "Ray, Ray can you hear me, speak to me Ray" he asked not moving him "Mikey go get help NOW" he screamed, Mikey ran into the office and soon returned saying that an ambulance was on the way. Frank was sitting on the floor crying, Gerard was holding him trying to not look at the blood.
Fifteen or so minutes later the ambulance had arrived and were assesing the situation "sirs can you tell me what happened and how long he as been unconcious for" one of the paramedics asked. Bob answered "i'd say hes been out for about twenty minutes and it happened cause two of the Karts crashed and he fell out and got hit" he explained.
The medics removed Rays helmet releasing his wild blood soaked hair and his jacket aswell as his tshirt, bruises were already starting to appear and deep cuts covering his chest.
Ray was taken to the nearest hospital and was rushed into a ward whilst his friends waited outside. Soon a doctor came out to speak to them "so we have stableized Mr Toro but he has broken his leg and has had to have several stitches on his face and chest. He is awake and wants to see you but please be carful hes still in shock" the doctor explained letting them pass into the private room.
Ray was lying on his back his head to the side bruises,cuts and swellings making there guitarist regognisable only by his afro hair. They all walked forward and grouped around his bed "Hey Ray how are you feeling" Gerard asked still holding a crying, shaking Frank. Ray turned and grimaced in pain groaning loudly "what the hell happened Gee" he asked hissing as the pain of moving even the smallest bit over took him. Bob grabbed Rays hand and held it tightly "ya fell out of your Kart when Frank rear rammed you" he explained.
Frank pulled away from Gerard and moved over so he stood by Rays head "im sorry Ray i didn't meen it please don't hate me" he begged his face wet with tears, Ray moved his arm up slowly to cup his face "i don't hate you Frankie, i don't think its actually possable to hate anyone as short as you" he said trying to show that he didn't blame Frank for the accident.
Frank cried more because Ray forgave him "its my fault you've hurt your leg its my fault your in pain im sorry im sorry" he cried running from the room. Gerard and Mikey both ran after him leaving Bob and Ray alone in awkward silence.
After about five minutes without Frank or either of the two Ways returning Ray tried to make convosation "So do you know when i can get out of this hell hole", Bob looked at his notes that were clipped to the end of his bed " they just want to put your leg in a cast and then you can go home" he said showing Ray the chart.
After another few minutes of silence a doctor and nurse came in with a trolly to bandage Rays leg. "Well sir" the doctor said "your leg should be mended in a few weeks but as you have also injured your other leg you will have to use a wheelchair" he explained pointing at the chair in the corner. Ray did not look pleased at the news "but how am i supposed to do stuff if i can't walk" he demmanded gripping the metal bars surrounding his bed. The doctor picked up the chart and examined it "well you will have to be looked after is there anyone you can stay with untill you can walk again" he asked looking from Bob to Ray. Ray looked away annoyed that he had to be looked after "Ray you can stay with me the others are staying anyway it will be fun" he stated, Ray looked up at his friend and reluctantly nodded in agreement. "Well thats settled then, well just finnish this and you can go" the doctor said happily.
Once the nurse had finnished Bob wheeled Ray out towards there car, Frank and the Way brothers were sitting in the back seets Frank in the middle leaning against Mikey fast asleep like a baby.
Bob helped Ray into the front seat before folding the chair and putting it in the boot. The journey home was almost silent only broken by the sound of Franks breathing, Ray was staring sulkily out of the window Bob was concentraiting on driving and the Ways appeared to be having a staring contest. Bob pulled up onto the drive and hopped out to get Rays chair and the five of them made there way up to the house. Frank was avoiding eye contact with Ray and Ray was avoiding eye contact with everyone "dude it isn't so bad i meen it could have been worse" Mikey tried to reason. Ray turned away and looked at the wall "oh stop acting like such a baby it really could have been worse, you could have died or something" Gerard pointed out.
Ray looked down at his hands "i know but i don't like being in a chair i can't go for a run or anything i can't play guitar cause my fingers hurt and now i have to be looked after its not fair" Ray yelled before covering his face and breaking down into tears. Bob rushed over to comfort him but Ray pulled away and wheeled himself out of the room and into the bathroom and locked the door. He lifted himself out of the chair and kicked it away from him into the oposite corner he then curled up and cried harder feeling stupid for crying at his age which made him cry more.
Mikey and Bob hammered at the door trying to get in "Ray let us in please" Mikey screamed under the door. Bob chucked his entire body at the door but it didn't budge "Ray please your scaring us" he pleaded but still no one answered.
Ray felt worse then he ever had before so many thoughts rushed through his head the crash, the ambulance,the hospital , Bob holding his hand, Bobs arm around him, Bob moving his hair out of his face, Bob slowly kissing him pulling him so there bodys were pressed against each other. Ray hit himself over the head "no i must not think of things like that hes my friend" Ray muttered to himself. The thoughts didn't go away they just came back more and more getting hotter and hotter. Ray scratched at his arms digging his nails in till they bleed hitting himself round the face trying to make thoose thoughts go away.
Meanwhile on the other side of the door Bob and Mikey had been joined by Gerard and Frank as they were all about to charge at the door together hoping that the force of the four of them could take it down. They organised themselves into a line and ran at hit the door swung open on impact and they all toppled over ontop of each other. They stood up carfully and saw Rays chair on one side of the room and Ray in the corner at the other. He was a complete state he was bleeding he had pulled stitched out and had more bruises and cuts then before. Bob once again rushed to comfort his friend but Ray just shoved him off "Ray whats happened tell me whats wrong"he asked not daring to touch him again in fear of getting another punch. Mikey moved down beside him pulling Rays hand away from his face to stop him causeing more harm to himself signalling for the others to leave and shut the door. Mikey sat down next to Ray holding his hand between them "Ray whats wrong" he asked quietly "come on Ray its just me you can tell me anything" he asked. The good thing about Mikey is he can allways tell when something is wrong or when several things are wrong. Ray looked up at Mikey and turned his head away again quickly "come on i know its not just the chair anymore this isn't like you at all" he said a little more fiercly this time. Ray picked at one of the stitches on his arm Mikey slapped his hand away "stop it Ray your not a dog or do you want us to put a collor on you" he said making Ray smile a bit. "Its not fair" Ray mumbled more to himself then Mikey "what isn't fair" Mikey asked "everything is so messed up" he mumbled again "its not fair why does it happen to me why can't they go away" he said hitting his head again. Mikey put his arm around his friend so he couldn't hit himself "what won't go away why are you hitting yourself" he asked "the bad thoughts" Ray said fresh tears running down his face. Mikey wiped at the tears "what bad thoughts" he asked again " you can tell me and i promise it won't leave this room" he bargained. Ray looked at Mikey again to see if he really meant that "promise?" "promise" they said.
Ray explained each thought that went through his head to Mikey who listened without comment, "why is this happening to me" Ray finnished looking back down at his hands. "Do you like Bob Ray?" Mikey asked "of course i do he s my friend" Ray answered "no i meed do you [i]like[/i] like Bob" he explained "i...i don't know" Ray said. Mikey looked Ray right in the eyes searching for any clue as to what he really felt for Bob "maybe you should talk to him Ray he won't bite and he certainly won't judge you hes your friend" he explained Ray nodded "i guess but will you be with me when i tell him" he asked nervously "of course Ray,come here" he said pulling Ray into a tight hug "now lets get you cleaned up and back out there" he said pulling the chair back towards him.
When Ray and Mikey were back in the living room the others were all trying to act normally. Ray sat with Mikey at his side they held hands so Ray knew that it would be ok and Mikey was there for him "Bob can i talk to you for a bit" he asked "sure why?" Bob replied "i'll tell you in a minute, Mikeys coming to" he said and they got up and moved into the kitchen out of ear shot of Frank and Gerard. "So whats up Ray asked" wondering if this had anything to do with his outburst earlyer "i don't know how to put this but umm" he started looking up at Mikey who squeezed his shoulder incouragingly "i think.. no wait i [b]know[/b] i kinda like you as more than just friends" he said stuttering slightly "please don't hate me" he prayed shutting his eyes tight waiting for Rays reply. When Bob didn't answer Ray opened them and looked up at his friend who was staring at him with an unreadable expression on his face "say something please " Ray begged. Bob snapped out of it "Mikey can you leave us for a bit" he asked looked at Mikey who nodded and moved out smiling encouragingly at Ray. Bob turned back to Ray "where did this come from" he asked Ray confused as to why Ray was saying this now "i don't know i never really thought of it before then i just couldn't get the thought of you out of my head. I know you don't feel the same way but i have to tell you" Ray said crying and still scared that Bob was either going to hit him or hate him. Bob moved a step forward " aww Ray don't cry come here" Bob said moving down to Rays level and kissing him gently on the lips wiping away his tears "i love you Ray Toro you don't know how long i've waited to kiss you like that" he smiled so brightly it lit up the room. A shuffling sound was coming from over by the door and three sets of eyes were staring at them "come on in guys" Ray said taking Bobs hand. Three men with guilty expressions on there faces walked into the room "so?" Mikey asked "so what Mikey" Bob asked innocently "are you to gunna kiss or what" he asked bouncing on his heals. Bob and Ray just smiled kissing each other once more "Merry Christmas Bobby" "And a Happy New Year RayRay".
