I've really got to learn how to mask my pain better. Shane sighed, closing his eyes and moved his hand, lifting his shirt up slightly to show the ugly bruise starting to grow there. "It's fine." He said again. "He just hit me is all." He wasn't sure if it was just that though, as the pain hadn't lessened any.

Abigail moved to kneel in front of him, he body bending slightly forward so she could get a better look at the dark purple bruise. She reached out a hand to touch it before stopping herself, she didn't want to cause him any unnecessary pain. She had already done so much, and hated to make it worse. Her hand hovered mid air for a moment before she dropped it back in her lap. She looked up at his face again, biting her lip. "I don't know, Shane." She said, "It looks pretty bad. It's swelling up."

Shane shook his head, pulling his shirt back down. She was worried, he could tell, and he didn't want that. It was hurting pretty bad though. "It's fine." He struggled to stand, wincing as the pain coursed through him. He managed to get onto Lia's bed and laid back, trying to catch his breath. Shit... "Do you...do you have an ice pack?" Shane finally asked.

Abigail bit her lip, lifting her worried eyes from the spot that was now covered by his shirt. Her frown deepened when he tried to stand and she rose to her feet. She felt helpless and knew that he probably wouldn't let her help him. When Shane asked for an ice pack, Abby simply nodded and made her way to the mini fridge. Of course she had an ice pack, it was obvious that the thing had frequent use. She handed the cold ice pack to him with a small smile. Abigail couldn't help but feel responsible for his pain, even if she didn't strike him herself. He saved her from the abusive guy she was too cowardly to leave herself.

"Thanks." Shane sighed, placing the ice pack under his shirt. He winced a bit at the feel, but quickly got used to it. Not wanting there to be an awkward silence, he glanced at the girl. "So, you're name's Abigail, huh? How's it like, living with my sister? I know she can be crazy at times."

Abigail perched herself at the foot of the bed he was laying on, clasping her hands in front of her. Her eyes were focused on the ground but she looked up when he asked her the question. "It's not good to put that directly on your skin." She commented, but figured he probably wouldn't care anyway. Shane didn't seem like the type to care about things of that nature. Abby gave him a small nod and a shrug. "Yeah, I feel like I am from Little House on The Prairie just thinking about it. It's so old fashioned." Abigail said, shaking her head slightly. "Azalia is pretty cool, I guess. I mean, she does get a little crazy at times, but for the most part she isn't around much. I've seen her freak out though, and it was not a pretty sight." She chuckled slightly, because the whole situation had been so confusing and a tad bit ridiculous.

Shane ignored her comment, narrowing his eyes a bit. After a second he said, "It suits you." He chuckled lightly, wincing as the movement caused pain to shoot through him. He knew all too well the freak outs she was talking about. He'd unfortunately been witness to them one too many times, and found himself thankful that he only had anger to deal with and not both extremes. "Yeah, she's a handful. You have no idea how glad I was when she moved out." Not that he'd been home much anyway.

Abigail gave a small smile, she never liked her name much. When she was little she used to make up names for herself, and they changed often. Her mother used to ask her, Who are you today? Abigail grew out of that as she got older and learned to appreciate her name more. Though, she wasn't really old fashioned at all. Abby watched him out of the corner of her eye as he winced. She hoped whatever was wrong with his side wasn't that serious, but it sure looked like it. "She cant be that bad, can she? I mean, I don't see her much so I haven't really seen her blow up yet. She doesn't really like to be talked to either."

Shane shook his head, lightly because any other movement hurt to bad. He tried to shift but that caused pain to shoot through him and he gasped, hand gripping his side even tighter. "Shit..." He closed his eyes, taking a deep breath. "Lia is bi-polar, so she tends to keep quiet and away. I dunno how her boyfriend deals with her. The littlest thing can set her off. Don't get her near water, she'll freak."

Abby bit her lip and she stared at him worriedly. Even though he was a stranger, she couldn't help but care. Not only was that who she was, but he was also kind and helped her despite the fact that she was only a stranger. She owed it to him, whether he liked it or not. Abigail didn't mind it either, caring about his well being. "Shane..." She said, his name like a curse on her lips. She faced him, her eyes on his side again. "Is it bad? Don't lie to me either." All thoughts about her roommate left her head at the sight of him in pain, and the frown grew more pronounced on her lips.

Shane started to shake his head, but the pain was growing worse and he found he couldn't really move at all without the piercing pain coming back. He tried to catch his breath, but pretty soon even breathing was causing him pain. "I-I can't breath." He finally admitted, eyes still squeezed shut. "It hurts..." That bastard must've hit me harder than I thought. Shit.

Abigail's eyes widened with his words and she crawled towards him on the bed. Sitting on her knees, she bit her lip. "Oh my god." She whispered as she lightly lifted his shirt, she winced at the sight. "I think he may have broken your rib..." She looked up at him wearily. Abigail really wished he hadn't run into her again, she felt like it was all her fault. Shit, I need to get him checked out. She tried not to let him see how worried she was about it, and put on a brave face. "I need to take you to the hospital, Shane."

Shane cracked open an eye, giving her a skeptical look, only to wince when Abby lifted his shirt. "I can't move. There's no way I'm going to a hospital." Shane would be stubborn to the end. Even with a broken rib he didn't want to go to a hospital. It's not like I haven't dealt with a broken bone before. Of course, that had been his wrist and it hadn't stopped him from being able to breathe properly. "And...agh--" He stopped as a particularly piercing pain coursed through him, closing his eyes again. "Shit." That was becoming his new favorite word apparently. Shane looked up at the girl, she looked determined, and Shane was pretty sure he wasn't gonna get out of this one. "I've gotta...learn to fight better."

Abigail looked at him seriously. She really didn't want him to fight her on this. She tried not to freak out as his state quickly worsened. "You need help, Shane." Abigail sighed, the guilt washing over her like a bucket of cold water. "Let me help you, please?" The honest truth was that she was starting to care about him, even though he'd been a bit of a jerk from the beginning, she had no room to judge his behavior. She knew nothing about his past, or even him in general. She knew that his name was Shane, he had a semi-neurotic sister named Azalia, and she knew that he hated seeing abuse. It wasn't just that she owed him for taking care of William for her. It was that somehow, underneath all of the hard exterior and the walls he had seemed to put up around himself, she could see something good in him and she wanted to find out what that was. Abigail offered a small smile. "I think you did pretty damn good, definitely better at fending him off than I ever was."

Shane wanted to protest, to tell her that he didn't want her help, let alone need it, but as the pain worsened he finally resigned, nodding ever-so-slightly. He kept his eyes closed, trying to focus on breathing and not the girl next to him. How do I get myself into these situations? If only he was as hard and uncaring as he pretended to be. He would've just left her here like she'd asked him too, to deal with William on her own. He should've, but he couldn't. There was something about this girl that drew him to her, something that made him want to protect her, something that refused to allow him to leave. Shane sighed lightly, cracking one eye open. "The bastard still managed to hurt me."
