"We'll get to that soon okay? I just want to clean you up. You reek." She made a face, and untied his track pants.

That made him crack a smile but he let her take his pants off, wiggling a little to help.

She pulled them off, along with his boxers. "Now step into the shower."

Elian nodded and steppes into the shower as asked. "Can I sit? Im tired."

She nodded, coaxing him to sit on the seat in the shower. She turned on the water, making it warm. She pulled the shower head off the wall and approached him with the running water.

Elian sat and watched her. "You don't hate me, do you?" He asked.

"Why would you ask me such a thing?" She asked as she sprayed his body, using her free hand to rub the blood off.

"Cause... I might've done something really bad. I can't remember," he said.

"I don't care what you think you did. It doesn't change my opinion of you." She stepped closer and concentrated on cleaning off the blood.

"Promise?" He asked gently.

She looked into his eyes. "обещаю." She said.

"I'll take that as a yes," he said softly.

She nodded and finished cleaning him off. She turned the water off and put the shower head back on the wall.

Elian looked down at himself and thankfully, he was clean. He relaxed and looked up at her.

She stepped out of the shower, grabbing a towel and his robe. "Do you need help getting out?"

"No," he said and stood up, climbing out.

((Is this her apartment or his?))

((Hers))

He held out the towel and rubbed his legs dry, then his chest. She then slipped his robe on.

Elian let her. "Thank you," he said sleepily.

She kisses his forehead as she tied it closed. She double checked his head for any injuries. "So you don't hurt?" She asked.

Elian shook his head, "not at all."

She nodded. "Are you hungry? Thirsty?" She led him out of the bathroom.

"I'm thirsty," he said softly.

She nodded and had him sit on the plush couch. She went into the open kitchen behind the living room. She got him a cup of water, bringing it to him.

"Thank you," he said and sipped the water. "I'm crazy, you know?" He said and when he said that, it was like he was a million miles away. "It's not right up there... Its a mess," he said, tapping his head. "A 7 years ago today, my parents told my they didn't want me anymore." He said to her, remembering a paper he'd seen somewhere. "They still don't want me back home." He looked up at her.

She carefully sat down beside him, putting a hand on his leg. "Elian, you know I dont think you're crazy." She said. "Now can you tell me what happened? What you remember?"

Elian shook his head, thinking it over, thinking about what she said. "What I remember... What I remember." He was shaking now, holding his breath trying to remember. "I can't remember," he told her. "I couldn't remember to take my meds," he told her. "And Aunt Kelly said I had to take them so I could think and I can't think... I forgot my meds. Aunt Kelly said I had to take them if I wanted to see Milly." He lifted a hand to his forehead. "I forgot."

He squeezed his thigh. "Okay...so you don't remember leaving last night?"

He looked back at her and then back at the door. "No," Elian said. "Aunt Kelly said the meds help with that, too."

She nodded slowly, thinking. "I'll set an alarm on my phone from now on to remind you about your meds."

Elian leaned his head against hers. "I can't remember what happened," he said to her.

"It's okay." She wrapped her arms around him, holding him to her chest. "We need to figure out who's blood that was on you though." She sighed.

"How?" He asked her gently.

"I have no idea." She looked worried.

He looked at her. "I didn't want to hurt anyone," he told her. "I don't want to hurt anyone." He said to her. "I cant remember," he said, still trying.

She thought for a second, then frowned. "Elian..there is one person you want to hurt." She whispered.

Elian shook his head. "I don't want to hurt anyone," he repeated.

"What about Max?" She asked gently.

Elian looked up at her and then touched his head. "I... I can't remember, Nat, I can't remember."

She nodded, touching his cheek. "It's okay baby." She pulled him close into her arms.

Elian wrapped his arms around her and held her. "Lets go to bed," he said.

She nodded and carefully sat up with him. She led them to her room.

Elian took her hand and followed her out.

She grabbed pajama bottoms for him and helped him into them.

Elian stepped into them and then looked up at her. "Thank you."

She smiled and pecked his lips. "Would you like a shirt?"

She laughed, "yes, please." She said.

She grabbed him a t shirt and helped him into it.

He smiled at her and then took her hand again. He gently kissed her.

She cupped his cheeks and kissed him back.

He pulled away and the got into bed, holding his arms out for her.
