Fan Fiction ❯ In the Garden of Eden ❯ Crucifixion of a Broken Heart ( Chapter 7 )

++*Eden*++ (11:02:53 PM): He rushed in just in time to see Nine fall backword, "Nine!" He gasped as he picked him up and carried him back to the bed, shutting the T.V. off instantly. He went to the computer room and did a few typed something real quick and then ran back into the bathroom, grabbing a bowl of water and a few towels and a washcloth and ran back out and cleaned up Nine from throwing up then pulled the blanket over him. "Nine...please answer me Nine..."

++- Nine -++ (11:07:14 PM): He stirred, but the only words that came out was "oh my god....Vinny." That's when Eden put the whole shock and vomiting reaction to the news, he shivered, eyes shut, tears leaking from the corners, looking paled, and weak and ill.

++*Eden*++ (11:13:41 PM): He sighed softly, "Rest....we'll talk in the morning..." He whispered, wondering if Nine was even coherent and could hear him. He walked into the room with the computers, and sat down pulling up an e-mail with a request on it. It was a unique request, the person wanted full audio, visual and even requested to meet him in person. The ID name of the e-mail was VinnyViddyVici it was when Nine uttered Vinny's name that it hit him. He leaned back in his chair wondering how he'd ever tell Nine about this e-mail. He stood up and went back into the bedroom and climbed into bed on the opposite side of Nine as he leaned against the headboard and watched over Nine.

++- Nine -++ (11:16:10 PM): Nine was simply curled up into a tight ball, crying, shaking, weak and sick. He had no response, he just kept saying "Oh God, Vinny" and the likes over and over whispering.

++*Eden*++ (11:20:51 PM): He sighed and brought tried the best he could to hold Nine, trying to keep him comfortable. He began humming a tune, it was soft and comforting to him when he was always sick or ill. It was a tune that was taught to him by Angelo, Angelo hummed it to him when he was ill or sick and now he hummed it to Nine. "He's in a better place now..." Was all he said before he slowly fell asleep, not purposely. He wanted to watch over him all night but he was just too tired from earlier this evening.

++- Nine -++ (11:24:34 PM): Nine didn't sleep, he only laid there, crying, and when sunlight filtered into the house, he sat up slowly, not waking Eden, eyes red, pale, and shakey, he stood and nearly fell over, but remained upright. He found some clothes, scribbled a note, and left it where Eden would find it, and left, silently shutting the door, and going back to his house. He couldn't be there right now, he had to be away, it was to much, the note he left read, "Eden, had to go home, I'll see you around. Nine." In shakey handwriting, few tears dotting the ink and making it blur.

++*Eden*++ (11:30:19 PM): Eden woke up later that day, around Noon to be percise and found the note, holding it in his hand he sighed as he went to the kitchen and sat down infront of his laptop. He slowly typed away at it, there was a message from him last night when he went into the computer room, it read. "House cam's will be down..." Was all that was stated. He sat there and pulled up the e-mail from Vinny once more, the mouse hovered over the button delete as he sat there and stared at it. He sighed as he stood up and picked up the phone a worried expression on his face as he remembered and dialed Nine's phone number as it began to ring.

++- Nine -++ (11:32:00 PM): The answering machine picked up, it was just Eden's voice this time, from a few days earlier, "Busy, leave a message." Before it beeped. Nine was collapsed on his bed, several things strewn about it, one being the picture Eden had found in the drawer, he was alseep, finally, therefore wouldn't answer.

++*Eden*++ (11:38:08 PM): After the beep he spoke, "Hey Nine...I woke up and you were gone...just kinda wanted to call and see how you are doing...call me...please..." He said in a concerned voice as he hung up and wandered back to the laptop and closed the e-mail. The rest of his site was still operational only the cam's were off. He sat and watched the entire day watching the other men and women that broadcasted their cam's through his site. He only sighed not eating the entire day. The phone just to his side as he laid his head there and stared at it before he fell asleep in a short cat nap.

++- Nine -++ (11:45:33 PM): The phone rang, but not from Nine, telemarketers. Nine had just woke up and was laying at the floor of his shower, arms and legs hanging over the sides of the tub as hot water just sprayed on him, his sore wet eyes half oepn, staring, silent, and oddly calm, but not peaceful.

++*Eden*++ (11:48:47 PM): He called at the late evening he called again, wanting to hear Nine's voice, even if he was crying he wanted to know he wasn't dead. For all he knew thats what Nine was. He sighed as he picked up the phone again, dialing his number, as it began to ring, "Please Nine...pick up....please....please...Nine..." He whispered to himself tears forming in his eyes as the thought of his new love already dead.

++- Nine -++ (11:50:06 PM): The machine picked up again but was clicked off, a low gruff voice replied, it was Nine's, thought it barely sounded like him, " 'llo?" He said, voice deep and down.

++*Eden*++ (11:52:19 PM): He let out a somewhat sigh of relief, "N-Nine...how are you?" He muttered softly chocking back from crying from either joy or sorrow he didn't know. "How are you....Nine?"

++- Nine -++ (11:55:51 PM): "I'm ..ok.." He said moving about, he was in his bed, now, he looked at the time and then wiped his face, groaning, he blinked, " Needed something?" He asked sounding like shit.

++*Eden*++ (11:57:33 PM): He cleared his throat, "I-I just wanted to know you weren't...like dead...or something..." He muttered, glad that he wasn't dead on the road somewhere. "Y-you didn't call me back...I left a message..." He said again, barely choking out the words. "Why did you leave so abruptly this morning...?"

++- Nine -++ (12:00:07 AM): He sighed, "didn't get my messages yet..and ..had to leave..something...came up..thanks for..uh taking care of me.." He said, sighing again and trying to sound normal.

++*Eden*++ (12:01:23 AM): He swallowed, "Are you doing anything tomorrow..." He muttered still concerned for Nine's well-being. "I'd like to get together if you are..."

++- Nine -++ (12:02:23 AM): "I'm kinda busy.." He said, not sharply, but definitly a bit quick, "I'm..uhm..gotta go see someone about something.." He added, trying to sound calmer and more normal.

++*Eden*++ (12:14:03 AM): "Oh...well maybe the next day?" He muttered hoping to see him sometime. "I-I'd really like to see you..." He whispered softly into the phone, trying to get back into Nine's life.

++- Nine -++ (12:16:07 AM): "..Eden..I.." He stopped and sighed, breathing softly, a long pause of silence, "I don't know...I-I gotta go..Sushi wants out." Which was a lie, Nine just needed to get off, he was crying again.

++*Eden*++ (12:20:59 AM): "But Nine!" He muttered but was too late. He sighed as he hung up the phone. "Nine...I love you...." He muttered as he wrapped his arms around himself and tried not to cry. He laid his head back down, the night quickly washing over him as he slowly fell asleep cold and alone sitting on the counter infront of his laptop.

++- Nine -++ (12:23:13 AM): The night went on and off for Nine, eventually sleep found him, but no one else would, save for his eventual slips out at the dead of night to walk Sushi and escape the appartment, he slept on the sofa now, unable to bear the bed.

++*Eden*++ (12:30:01 AM): He woke the next morning to his laptop going off with e-mail after e-mail and posts on the message board wondering why the cam's suddenly went down with no warning. He sighed as he looked at the screen looking at the naked people masturbating and teasing their onlookers but doing nothing for him. He then glanced over at the phone picking it up but then sat it back down remembering Nine said he had something to do. He remembered he had a request scheduled for today, he sighed as he turned on the cam's once more not bothering to explain why to anyone as he went to his bedroom and got started on weeding through e-mails, slowly working his way to the scheduled time he himself was going to masturbate for someone just as Nine had done.

++- Nine -++ (12:42:50 AM): They day dragged on, and no Nine showed up, the day turned to night, and everything went numb and cold. Winter was setting in, and so was the gray days, and cold bleak nights, night where people with signifigant others were glad they weren't single, only Nine wasn't anywhere near, and hide nor hair was seen of him.

++*Eden*++ (12:51:22 AM): He sighed as he trudged into his bed pulling the blanket from it and wrapped himself in it as he went upstairs to the exact same room he gave Nine and sat there as he pulled up the cam himself and began, his cock flacid. He sighed and opened up the folder of pictures finding some of his recent fuck and leave people, nothing worked. He sighed and wished Nine were here to help him like he had helped Nine. He finally had to call it off as he went back down to the main room and just curled up on the rug there and fell asleep, cold and alone.

++- Nine -++ (12:54:10 AM): Morning came, thin and spars, Nine was sitting in his appartment, in a bay window, looking at the gray city, wearing some superman pj's and hugging his batman plush, the dog laying on the floor near him, he sighed softly, and just stared out, ears back, tail limp.

++*Eden*++ (12:55:31 AM): He sighed and woke up, literally crawling to the kitchen having not eaten the previous day as he grabbed the phone and just hit the redial button wanting so much to talk to Nine, wanting to see him.

++- Nine -++ (12:57:49 AM): The phone rang, and Sushi brought it to Nine, he didn't respond, but the dog whined to he answered it, "Hello." He didn't sound so bad, he just sounded, withdrawn.

++*Eden*++ (12:59:31 AM): He smiled at the sound of Nine's voice, "Nine..." He muttered softly, "How are you doing today..." He said rather flatly, his voice showing signs of lack of nutrients.

++- Nine -++ (1:09:29 AM): "it's a day." He said, which basically meant he was doing nothing and felt nothing currently, except the loss of something that was once close, like a shock feel, the dog was whining in the background of the phone, "you sound sick....you sick?" He asked with little to no emotion.

++*Eden*++ (1:15:38 AM): "No...I'm just fine..." He said sounding very weak. "How about I come over...and we could have some fun?" He didn't sound up to doing anything let alone walking over there. He was very weak from lack of food, slightly shaking.

++- Nine -++ (1:17:08 AM): "No..you sound bad...eat something..." He said still, it was more an order, pushy, Nine knew Eden was suffering, but he couldn't see him, not yet, unless Eden came over and forced him to face it.

++*Eden*++ (1:46:19 AM): He sighed, "I would but I don't feel hungry...why don't you come over...I had another request you know..." He said as he finally got up the nerve to tell Nine about the e-mail he recieved from Vinny.

++- Nine -++ (1:52:12 AM): "I kinda don't feel like it...." He said and sighed.

++*Eden*++ (1:53:27 AM): "You know...I also got an e-mail from Vinny a few days ago..." He muttered mindlessly, almost as if he didn't know what he was saying to Nine.

++- Nine -++ (1:56:40 AM): "What..?" He whispered, pressing his ear into the phone.

++*Eden*++ (1:58:56 AM): He chuckled slightly, "He wanted to see you and hear you, and even offered to meet you publicly." He took in a deep breath, "I declined instantly because I don't allow public meetings but when you passed out last night it reminded me of that e-mail."

++- Nine -++ (1:59:43 AM): "How you know it was from him?" He asked, his voice sounding a bit shakey.

++*Eden*++ (2:04:30 AM): "His name was VinnyViddyVici....I even checked the name of the user that had the name and it was his...I only recently did the check...didn't know till last night..." he muttered his voice going weak again, his voice faiding as he talked on.

++- Nine -++ (2:08:22 AM): He sighed, "Eden eat something.." And the phone went off, having hung up, burrying his face into the batman Doll, hoping Eden would at least eat.

++*Eden*++ (2:12:42 AM): He sighed as he dropped the phone to the floor after hanging it up himself. He stood up, wobbling slightly from lack of food as he began to prepare something finally finishing as he sat back down putting the bacon on a plate and sighed. "It just...doesn't look apitizing..." He muttered as he pushed it away and just laid his head upon the counter watching the men and women get off once more. He reached up and clicked the movie he had taped of him and Nine together as he watched it play over and over as he slipped into an unconcious state again.

++- Nine -++ (2:14:37 AM): He only sat there, huggin his doll, crying, and not knowing why, just knowing he felt like crying, all lights off, no tv, as cold rain fell against the window in a soft rhytmic pattern, the dog whined and stared at Nine, saddly.

++*Eden*++ (2:18:09 AM): He sighed as he woke up, it had been several loops through the day as he woke the the sound of Nine moaning. "I want him..." he mummered under his breath as he grabbed a piece of cold bacon, nibbling and eating away the 5 pieces he had made. He slowly trudged up the stairs planning on calling Nine again tomorrow and trying once more as he fell face first into his bed.

++- Nine -++ (2:20:42 AM): Nine fell alseep, at the window, crying himself into dark slumber, the dog didn't move, and didn't budge, he stayed there making sure Nine stayed fine, and ok.

++*Eden*++ (2:25:04 AM): He awoke early in the morning, unable to sleep, feeling as if his body were burning up inside as he sat up. His eyes focused upon the camera now alive again with people, forgetting that he did turn them on again. "Hello everyone..." He said with little effort. He went straight to the phone, the cold air hitting his naked body but not effecting him. He immediately called Nine up letting it ring and ring, knowing he wouldn't leave.

++- Nine -++ (2:27:15 AM): The phone rang and rang, but nothing answering, only the machine picked up, giving the beep at the right time.

++*Eden*++ (2:30:04 AM): He growled slightly at the sound of the answering machine beep. He hung up and went down to eat, not caring that he was naked, not feeling like getting dressed either as he cooked breakfast and went over to where his laptop was still playing the same movie. Eden was riding on top of Nine's cock at this point as he ate hungrily. He wasn't hungry for more food, he was hungry for Nine. after about mid-day he called again, wanting to talk to him. "If you don't answer this time I'm coming over there..." he muttered to himself wanting it to beep at him one more time.

++- Nine -++ (2:33:31 AM): And beep it did, same message playing back, same disreguard for answering of the phone, despite the dog pestering him to.

++*Eden*++ (2:35:03 AM): He growled as he threw the phone against the wall, it shattering instantly as he grabbed a long trenchcoat and tieing it around his waist slipping on some shoes and walking over to Nine's house, both pissed off and needing him. He arrived at Nine's appartment, knocking on the door hard as he awaited Nine to open it.

++- Nine -++ (2:36:33 AM): There was no response at first, but Sushi was barking manically at the door, "ok.." Came a drab voice followed by locks undoing, and the door opened, red eyed and looked rather DEAD Nine looked out, with shock, "W-what are you doing here?" He muttered, lips dry and cracked, the appartment was a bit of a mess, and blankets and pillows on the couch, where he had been sleeping, the dog barked happy barks and wagged his tail at Eden.

++*Eden*++ (2:39:11 AM): He was still growling slightly, "Nine we need to talk..." He said the cold air flapping as he pushed the door open and came in. One way or another he was going to talk to Nine, and he wanted to get in knowing that Nine would try and shut the door on him. He only gave a passive glance down a Sushi as he shut the door behind him. "Why are you so torn up about Vinny's death..." he got straight to the point.

++- Nine -++ (2:42:09 AM): He didn't try to shut him out, he let him in closing the door and getting Sushi to calm down, "You look thin Eden..." He said worried, granted he looked thin also, he sighed and rubbed the back of his head, "He was my first ok... my first love, my fist lover.. my first..this was his appartment...we didn't leave on good terms....." He sighed and stared at the floor, "I wanted him to die.." He said, not looking at Eden his voice quaivering, "didn't expect it...to happen.." He said, in other words, though they left on bad terms, he blamed himself for the accident, and felt a sorta death knowing his first was gone.

++*Eden*++ (2:46:16 AM): "I'm fine..." He muttered tossing his lack of nutrition the past few days aside. "So you wanted him dead and now he is...There's nothing you can do about it. You didn't cause it or anything..." He said talking quick. "You need to snap out of this depression...do you think he would be like this if you died suddenly?" He said stepping toward Nine and caressing Nine's cheek with a cold hand.

++- Nine -++ (2:47:55 AM): He leaned away a bit, "I don't know... but I know how I react when someone who was close to me DIES...and ..I..I didn't want to be mad at him, he died thinking I hated him... I wanted to at least be friends..he got this appartment.. he helped me become me...hell..even Sushi is a memory of him.." A tear ran down his cheek as he stared at the dog, who only whined saddly.

++*Eden*++ (2:51:04 AM): He sighed, "Why do you stay here then...if everything reminds you of him..." He whispered softer, a loving tone in his voice. "So what he thought you hated him...he probably did the same thing as I did to you...just was going to leave and never look back." He stepped closer going to wrap his arms around Nine. "You shouldn't feel bad for his death...he is in a better place now."

++- Nine -++ (2:53:05 AM): He didn't step back, thought he leaned, he had no energy, "I..I don't know..I'm afraid now...afraid what happened to him...will happen to you.." He whimpered crying, ears flat, dog leaning against their legs, tail flat against the floor.

++*Eden*++ (2:55:42 AM): He wrapped his arms around Nine and brought Nine to him feeling his body close to him. "Don't be afraid, everything is fine now..." His knees buckled slightly but he caught himself, it only appeared to Nine as a shiver. "Come...come live with me..." He whispered once more, wanting to never be apart from Nine again. "I love you Nine..." He whispered softly, truthfully, lovingly.

++- Nine -++ (3:00:49 AM): He cried and hugged Eden, holding him close, sobbing, he wanted to say yes, but all that would come out was tears.

++*Eden*++ (3:02:35 AM): He held Nine tightly, "Thats it...let it all out..." He whispered softly into Nine's ear. He didn't want a quick decision from Nine. He was willing to stand here and wait for Nine for as long as it took.

++- Nine -++ (3:03:58 AM): After awhile of crying, the tears lessen, but the emrbace didn't, he finally was able to calm down, and clear his throat, some tears still leaking from his rest eyes, sniffling, but not sobbing anymore, he coughed kinda, and Edne could feel his chest constrict with it, felt the bones starting to show.

++*Eden*++ (3:05:28 AM): "You feel very thin too...You haven't been eating have you." He whispered softly as he slowly let go of Nine wanting to look into Nine's eyes.

++- Nine -++ (3:08:27 AM): Nine shook his head no looking into Eden's eyes, his were very read, but obviously greatful he was there now, and that he came and met him, "hanv't been able to hold anything down really.." He said, "Death isn't a very easy thing for me.." He said as if embarassed.

++*Eden*++ (3:09:43 AM): He smiled softly, "Well go and sit down, I'll make something for you that should stay down ok?" He tilted his head slightly as he pushed Nine towards the couch slightly.

++- Nine -++ (3:10:22 AM): He nodded and shuffled over, Sushi following him.

++*Eden*++ (3:12:20 AM): He smiled once more at Nine's cute obedience, going straight to the kitchen and fixing some egg whites and some milk, taking careful action to take out the yoke, it being high in colesterol and a bit heavy on the stomach. He came back with them on a tray, "Here now eat." He said almost in a demanding yet sweet voice as he set the tray down.

++- Nine -++ (3:13:33 AM): He looked and swallowed, but obeyed all the same, still sniffling slightly, he eat sparingly, taking forever on each bite.

++*Eden*++ (3:15:01 AM): He smiled softly as he gently petted Nine on his head, "Good boy...this should stay down." He smiled as he looked down at Sushi and patted the couch beside him. "I'm glad I forced you to talk to me, was getting bored without you there." He said with a soft chuckle.

++- Nine -++ (3:15:47 AM): The dog jumped up next to Eden and laid his head in his lap, Nine smiled, "Been lonely here too....just...kinda got scared I guess.." He said still eating gingerly.

++*Eden*++ (3:16:56 AM): He nodded, waiting until Nine swallowed the bit of food he was on, "...if your scared here alone, then why not come live with me?" He asked once more, hoping that Nine would say yes, never wanting to be apart from him again.

++- Nine -++ (3:20:08 AM): He nodded, "K...can't stay here anymore...he's in it to much...kinda..messes with me.." He chuckled, poking at the food then took another bite, before pushing it away, eating as much as he could, which wasn't much at all but at least it was something.

++*Eden*++ (3:22:45 AM): He smiled, "Great, we'll start moving you into my place as soon as you get your strength back." He smirked, "Which could be a very long time." He chuckled softly, "I'll just hire some professional movers to move your stuff from her to my house, so it doesn't bother us..." He remembered Nine's bottom drawer. "Well you might want to to take that very bottom drawer with you for the first night, might have some fun." He cuddled Nine gently

++- Nine -++ (3:23:48 AM): He shook his head, "got rid of it all...it was all his...I'll get some more...eventually.." He smirked half heartedly, and touched Eden's hand, "Thanks."

++*Eden*++ (3:25:18 AM): He smiled softly, "Your welcome my love..." He smirked evilly, "Well now we have something to do tomorrow, go shopping for some nice toys." He smiled and yawned silently, "Mmm been a long day hasn't it..."

++- Nine -++ (3:26:12 AM): He chuckled, "not really..but yeah.." He moved over and hugged Eden tightly, resting his head on his shoulder, the dog snored in his lap, "You seemed a bit pissed off when you arrived...were you?" He looked at him, leaning against him, petting his dog.

++*Eden*++ (3:28:00 AM): "No...I was mad with lust...I haven't felt you in two days...couldn't stand being away from you that long." he whispered softly as he brought Nine's lips to his kissing him softly, showing no sign of hunger at all but giving a soft loving kiss.

++- Nine -++ (3:28:49 AM): He returned the kiss and smiled, "Heh..sorry..how's your site going?" He lifted a brow, "and how did they like those water works I had going.." Referring to the projectile vomit.

++*Eden*++ (3:30:22 AM): "Well the toilet is off the cam so they didn't see that, and by the time I had you back in bed I shut down every cam in the house..." He whispered softly, explaining what he did. "Had them down for that night and the next day."

++- Nine -++ (3:31:28 AM): "Wow must've really had people pissed...or at least curious as to went on.." He blinked, then smiled and kissed Eden's cheek, "Thanks."

++*Eden*++ (3:33:04 AM): He smiled and pulled his head back for a soft kiss on the lips, "It's ok and I haven't really checked the boards yet...haven't hd the energy...as you can probably tell by the way I'm dressed..." He chuckled completely forgetting he had nothing on but shoes and an overcoat.

++- Nine -++ (3:36:45 AM): "Huh?" He raised a brow and looked into the coat, "oh how flasher-esq.." He snickered and huggled him, yawning, eyes all droopy like.

++*Eden*++ (3:38:08 AM): He smirked, "Well I did tell you I was hungry for you, didn't tell you I was thinking as well but lets go to bed, I'm tired and your obviously tired as well. " He smiled as he stood up gently pulling Nine up and then leading him back to his room.

++- Nine -++ (3:40:24 AM): He stood but didn't move, "I..I can't...can't sleep in the bed...gives me nightmares.." He whimpered, the dog standing next to them, watching them all amused like.

++*Eden*++ (3:41:56 AM): He smiled softly, "Well then we'll sleep like we did when we watched movies..." He said taking off his shoes and disgaurding his trenchcoat and laying down on the bed pulling a blanket over him, "Hope you don't mind if I sleep naked..." He chuckled opening his arms waiting for Nine to join him.

++- Nine -++ (3:43:04 AM): "Nope.. " He smiled and crawled in, Sushi crawled onto the couch again and curled up at their feet, Nine laid down head to Eden's arms around his middle, hugging him, curling up much like a little child, eyes shut, "Thank you for everything Eden...I love you." He said softly, hugging him tightly.

++*Eden*++ (3:44:45 AM): He smiled softly and kissed the top of Nine's head, "I love you too Nine..." He whispered every so sweetly as he wrapped his arms around Nine and held him tightly to him as he slowly fell asleep, no longer going to be alone, no longer going to be cold.

++- Nine -++ (3:46:21 AM): Nine drifted off heavily, relaxing in his arms, sleeping hard and soundly, for the first time since finding out about Vinny, he slep without nightmares, and without crying, all through the night.
