So much had happened that Jason sorta of felt like he was drowning in it all.
Dick was hurt. Dick self harmed. Dick was dropped at home and beaten til he was knocked out. The drive to the hospital felt endless. Bruce came and held tightly onto him as he cried in the hallway. Bruce saying that he had worked something out with Jim Gordon and CPS (child protective services) about Dick.
Jason leaned back in his seat and laid his head upon Bruce's shoulder.

He didn't know if it was from everything he went through tonight or just the late hour it was but his eyes began to grow heavy and threaten to close upon him, but Jason wanted to stay up so he could see Dick.

"Jason, it's okay. You can rest, I'll wake up when I heard anything'' said Bruce.

Jason turned and looked up at him. "Promise?" questioned Jason and Bruce smiled and nodded his head.

"Promise'' said Bruce as Jason laid his head back down and drifted off to sleep.
---------------------------------------------

Beep.  Beep.  Beep.

Slowly Dick drew in a shaky breath as his eyes began to crack open.

Beep.  Beep.  Beep.

His sad blue eyes was met with a bright white light, momentarily blinding him from seeing anything. Slowly everything came into focus and Dick slowly turned his head, wincing in pain as he did. His eyes grazed over the room, a room that he was unfamiliar with.

"Where am I?" questioned Dick as he shut his eyes feeling a small wave of pain flowing over his body.

Beep.  Beep.   Beep.

Everything suddenly came rushing back to him. His eyes widen as he relived it all. 

His foster dad.

The kicks and hits.
The lack of air.
Pain.

Then darkness.

Dick glanced back around the room, finally clicking that he was in a hospital room. He tried to push himself into a sitting position, a overwhelming sharp pain flooded through his side. Dick quickly grabbed his side. 

"My ribs" thought Dick as flashes of kicks came back at him. He winced in pain and laid back down upon the hospital bed.

"What happened?" Dick wondered. He knew that he got beaten yet again and was knocked out but neither of his foster parents would have bothered to take him to the hospital, so he didn't know how he ended up here.
Then the fear that he was here and what would they think rushed in his mind. 

They would be pissed if they knew he was here. If he talked about what happened, they would kill him.

Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.

The heart monitor began to beep faster as panic set in. Dick's breathing had picked up, it hurt to breathe but he couldn't seem to catch his breath as he went into a panic attack, fearing what was going to happen to him now.

"Why am I here? How did I get here? Where are they?What's next? Will I ever be happy again? Will I ever see Jason again? Why is this happening to me? What did I do to deserve this? What am I going to do? Maybe I should end it, kill myself, but what would my mother and father think of me? They are probably already disappointed in how weak I am. They be glad I was gone, everyone would. No one cares. No one.....but Jason, what about him? He probably hates me too, I'm a broken mess! He deserves better! I just hope they end it quick or maybe I deserve for it to be long and painful because...I! DON'T! MATTER!!! WHY?!?!" screamed Dick's mind as he was now in a full blown panic attack.

Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.

Dick's heart monitor was beeping like crazy as Jason threw open the door and rushed into the room.
----------------------------------------------

"DICK!?!?" yelled Jason as he rushed to Dick's bed side. Jason right away knew what was happening, Dick was having a panic attack.

Jason could see Dick's bright blue eyes glazed over, it appeared that he didn't know that he was in the room yet. He needed to calm Dick down, he was pretty much hyperventilating at the moment.

He quickly reached out and took Dick's hand in his. As soon as his hand make contact with Dick's skin, Dick jumped. He yanked his hand away and pulled his knees to his chest and held his hand as if it was injured. Jason watched as Dick's breathing was still fast and his eyes unfocused. He needed to break Dick out of this panic attack. He suddenly reached forward and cupped Dick's face within his hands.

He could feel Dick's whole form shaking. 

"Hey Dick....It's me. It's Jason, you're safe I promise you'' whispered Jason as he watched Dick's breathing slow down a little as his words and touch broke through to him. Dick slowly turned his head, his brilliant blue eyes traveling up to meet Jason's strong green eyes.

"J-J-Ja-Jas-son?" Dick stuttered. Jason nodded his head as a grin spread across his face.

"Hey'' said Jason as he took a step closer and sat down beside Dick. As soon as Jason sat down Dick threw himself at Jason, wrapping his sore arms tightly around him. He winced as he did it but he didn't care if it hurt, he just really needed to hug Jason right now. 

Jason slowly lifted his arms up and wrapped them around Dick, trying his best not to put too much pressure on his friend.

Dick's body began to shake as he sobbed into Jason's chest. Jason shushed him and rubbed his hand in the back of Dick's midnight hair.

"Boys'' called a voice, breaking them apart. Jason glanced over at Bruce, he had forgotten Bruce had came into the room with him.

Bruce walked to the end of the hospital bed and his eyes met Dick's watery, scared, pain blue ones.

"Do you remember anything about the fight?" questioned Bruce.

Dick's heart monitor began to beep loudly again as Dick drew in a shaky breath. Jason reached down and held Dick's hand to try and calm him down and to steady him. Dick moved his fingers so that their hands were now intertwined.
