Seth is getting used to staring at bland hospital walls. For the past few months, they've been all he's really seen and he's missing home. A lot. His mom and sister stop by often to see him, ask the doctors if they've made any progress with his condition. Carlisle has to have a lot of patience, because his mom is always asking questions.

He's getting used to seeing the look of distant pain on Marcus' face and that hurts him the most.

What Seth wants to do is ask Marcus if he's okay, ask him about what it is that's causing him so much pain but Seth thinks he knows the answer to that question. It's hard, but he's pretty sure that it's what's happening to him that is hurting the ancient vampire so much. He hates that. His body is giving out beneath him and he can't do anything about it but stare at the walls and hope that maybe the doctors will bring him good news.

Carlisle has a solution, he's sure, and he's probably told Marcus, and Seth doesn't want him to hurt anymore. He wants him to talk to him like he's always done and let them work through this. The pain is too much to deal with alone.

Marcus has been there for him, has saved his life, there's no reason that he can't save it now... right?

FIN.
