falling to pieces ,,

[chanelle]

A few days after Vincent promised he would be back on set of The Immortals Chan still hadn't seen him around. She had spoken to Cooper who mentioned that Lucia had been thinking about taking him to the hospital... so clearly he'd lied when he said he was fine. Chan decided that she needed to visit him; she would be a horrible friend if she didn't - and she was pretty much willing to do anything to keep her mind off of how horrible her week was going. As far as she was concerned, no one needed to know what had happened in her relationship and when people asked her if she was alright she just said she still wasn't feeling great. The statement wasn't a complete lie - physically she was fine now, but mentally not so much. Chanelle entered the hospital and asked a receptionist for Vincent Moore's room. She followed the woman's directions and forced herself to focus on Vince as she slowly pushed open the door. "I thought you said you were fine," she accused, trying her best to sound playful. For an actress, she sure was having a hard time pretending to be happy.

Vince had been admitted to the hospital for acute renal failure as a result of glomerulonephritis. It had been determined that he was going to make it as long as he responded to treatment, but the treatment he was receiving would require him to be in the hospital for a while. In addition, he was also going to be quite miserable for the duration of his stay as a result of the combination of being in the hospital, and the treatment causing him to feel weak. He was alone in the room for the time being, Lucia being at the studio as he'd told her to. There was no sense in her babysitting him when he obviously wasn't going anywhere. He was almost asleep when he heard the door open, and snapped awake. He felt like shit, but apparently another nurse was going to bother him for a bit. When he heard the voice, he realized it was no nurse. "I am fine," he teased with a hoarse laugh that turned into a cough. Chanelle was a sweetheart, and as much as he didn't want to be seen in his current state, there were worse people that could have invaded his room.. like Cooper. That would have been embarrassing.

Chanelle surveyed the surroundings of the hospital room. She didn't like being there, but at least she was free to come and go as she pleased, unlike Vince. Her eyes landed on a chair by Vince's bed, Chan assumed it was where Lucia sat - but since she wasn't there for the time being, Chanelle walked over and occupied the seat, wincing as Vince started to cough. If anyone were more miserable than her at that moment, it would have to be him. "You don't look like your fine," she scolded, crossing her arms over her chest. "What do you have?" Chanelle was curious as to what could land her seemingly invincible friend in a hospital gown. It was kind of scary for her to see Vince looking so... weak? He just didn't seem like himself. Chan didn't blame him. He probably didn't feel much like himself either. Chanelle didn't have a great immune system, but she'd never ended up in the hospital.

Vince wasn't happy to be here, but as Lucia had insisted, being grumpy wouldn't exactly make the experience any more tolerable. So, he was trying to get through it with a decent attitude. Besides, seeing a familiar face was refreshing. All he'd seen for the past day or so were different nurses and doctors who never seemed to attend to him twice. He watched her come around to sit beside him, and he just offered a weak smile. He was still forcing himself to act a lot tougher than he felt, but he just wouldn't be Vince if he didn't. When she asked the question, he huffed a small chuckle. "Kidney failure." He decided to give her the shortened version of what he'd heard explained to him a hundred different times in the past twenty-four or more hours. "It's apparently treatable, though," he added at the scene of horror written on her face. When he'd heard the word 'failure', he was pretty sure he almost shit his pants too. He'd been assured several times though that he'd be good as new within about a month.

Kidney failure?! That wasn't good at all! Chanelle was sure that her face showed exactly what she was thinking, but even the next words out of Vince's mouth weren't incredibly reassuring. Treatable was good though. Chanelle was sure she had forgotten to breathe for a moment, so she forced herself to inhale as she attempted to relax in the chair. "I'm sorry you're sick," she sighed, knowing that there wasn't anything she could do or say that would actually help him feel any better. Chanelle absentmindedly ran her fingers through her somewhat sloppy side ponytail - she hadn't been paying much attention to her appearance, but she doubted Vince would care. "How long do you have to stay in the hospital?" she wondered. He didn't look like he would be getting out any time in the immediate future. That must really suck for him. She could only imagine what her brother would do if he were in Vince's situation... he definitely wouldn't be happy about being stuck in bed. Kidney failure meant dialysis right? Chanelle didn't think that would be too pleasant.

He was kind of annoyed by her dramatic response, but he had to remind himself it was because she cared, and that he shouldn't be annoyed. He gave a tired half-smile. Somehow, just being in this building caused Vince to feel tired and unhappy, though he was told the lethargy was due to his condition. He gave a slight shrug when she apologized to assure her she wasn't responsible for his misfortune. The next question he knew the answer to. "A week and a half to two weeks," he said, obviously rather depressed about that situation. He wasn't happy in here, but at least he was going to get better. "Shouldn't you be on set?" he asked, taking over his big brotherly role that he sometimes had with Chanelle. When Coop wasn't around, Vince sort of thought it was his job to be her brother since he and Coop were such good friends.

[chanelle]

"Two weeks isn't so bad," she shrugged, attempting to offer a small smile. She wasn't sure how convincing it was though. "It could be worse, right?" Chan wanted to smack herself after that statement. Obviously saying that it could be worse wouldn't do anything to make Vince feel any better. Yes, she was supposed to be on set but she told the director she was still sick. Chanelle wasn't really comfortable with lying to people, but she wasn't ready or willing to go back on set and film scenes with Kyle. That just wasn't going to happen. Chan shook her head at Vince's question. "I'm not in any of the scenes today." And there she goes again, lying. This wasn't like her at all, but it was the only alternative to telling the truth - something she wasn't really ready to do.

As short as two weeks were in the grand scheme of things, they were going to seem like forever. He chuckled a little as she obviously regretted what was coming out of her mouth. "It could," he agreed with her, a friendly smile located on his face. He felt exhausted, but visiting with Chanelle was important to him considering she took the time to come see him. He glanced down at his arm, into which an IV was pumping some kind of fluid that was probably keeping him alive or something. He wasn't supposed to eat for a while still, but he wasn't hungry. He raised a brow at her; she wasn't a very good liar. "Are you sure Kyle wouldn't have anything to do with you not going in?" he asked. He wasn't stupid - he could tell something was wrong with Chanelle, and Kyle seemed to be the only feesible option. The guy was bound to break her heart eventually.

[chanelle]

Was she really that obvious that something was wrong? It didn't make sense for Vince to automatically jump to...well, relationship problems. Chanelle was having a hard time even thinking his name at this point. She didn't want to have to think about him at all - any opportunity for a distraction was welcome; hence the reason she was visiting Vince and completely avoiding going to work. Chan felt her eyes fill with salty tears but she refused to let them fall. Her response to Vince's question was a simple, quick nod. She wasn't sure she could trust her voice to stay steady enough to reassure Vince that she was sure that he had nothing to do with it. Chanelle cleared her throat to test if she'd be able to speak coherently. "I'm just not in the scenes," she repeated.

He watched her reaction carefully, seeing the wetness build up in her eyes. She couldn't have been any more obvious about it, but he wasn't going to push the topic since she was really upset about it, or so she seemed to be. "Right," he said dismissively. He was trying his hardest to talk to her, since apparently she was under the assumption that he didn't like her simply because he didn't speak very much. "How's Coop?" he asked, trying to change the subject for her. He was being unusually talkative, probably due to the large amounts of medication he was on. Oh well.

[/font][/justify][/blockquote][/blockquote]

[chanelle]

Chanelle blinked back the threatening tears and reclined back in the chair, relieved that Vince had changed the subject. Cooper was a much safer topic, even if she hadn't managed to fool Vince into believing anything she had just said. "He's good," she shrugged. She had spoken to him a few days ago and he seemed to be genuinely happy. "I think he's excited to go direct something in England. Hopefully I'll get to visit him," she admitted. When they had talked he mentioned that he couldn't wait for the trip but that he was avoiding packing. Chanelle could understand both - but Cooper didn't have the same problems with flying that she had. "He's actually the one who told me you were in the hospital," she added as a side note.

Vince listened to her talk about her brother. Honestly, he wasn't interested, he was just happy to give her something else to talk about instead of making her more upset. The more he just laid there though, the weaker he felt. He suddenly didn't feel like a thirty-one year old man who could bench press twice his own weight. "Good to hear," stated with a half-smile which turned into a yawn. He wasn't sure why he felt so tired now, he'd been sleeping for the past week. He suppressed his curiosity for whatever happened between her and Kyle, knowing he figure out eventually. He'd get Lucia to find out. "Does Lucia know you're here?" he asked.

[chanelle]

Despite how hazy her world had been for the last couple of days, Chan was observant enough to recognize that Vince seemed to be exhausted; she thought she should probably leave so he could get some sleep, but as she was about to ask him if he wanted her to go he asked if Lucia knew she had come to visit. "Uhm, nope. I don't think I told anyone," she answered, twisting a lock of hair around her finger. Of course she hadn't told anyone. As far as anyone on set was concerned, she was supposed to be stuck in bed or hunched over a toilet all day. Now that she thought about it, she wasn't sure she wanted Vince to tell Lucia that she had stopped by. "You look exhausted.. I should probably go. Can you not tell Lucia I was here, please?" she requested, though she wondered if now that she had asked him not to tell her he would feel more obligated to say something about it.

Vince nodded as she said no one knew she was there. This all seemed a little too sketchy to be coming from Chanelle. He didn't like what this Kyle prick had done to her.. she seemed different, and not in a good way. Though he wanted to figure out what was going on, it seemed his body was not going to let him. He yawned again, listening to her ask him to keep her visit between just the two of them. This worried him.. now, he was most certainly going to tell Lucia. "Secret's safe with me, kiddo," he assured her. Hey, what was breaking a promise when it was for someone else's good? "Thanks for stopping," he said with a lazy, tired half-smile.
