He set the cell phone down on the floor, not looking at it, and put his head in his hands. His voice was wild, full of self-recrimination and bitterness. "Yeah, sure, because I've done such a great job of figuring things out and taking care of you so far." 'Come on, Gabe. Keep it together. This isn't getting you anywhere, and it isn't getting Eleyna anywhere. Focus. Breathe. What would Dad say if he saw you now?' After a moment, he looked up again, a look of unhappiness still on his face, but seeming more stable than he had moments ago. Gabe glanced at Eleyna shame-facedly, not meeting her eyes. His voice cracked slightly as he spoke. "Sorry. I...sorry." Gabe slowly got to his feet, favouring his good hand, the guilt back in his stomach and churning away. 'Stupid, stupid, stupid! Those kind of outbursts just scare people. You've got to hang on, try and keep going..for her sake. And for yours. Get it right, idiot!' Still resolutely avoiding everyone's eyes, he turned to the bed and put a hand on Sammy's shoulder. "Sammy? Are you OK? Look, don't try and sit up too fast; seems like you got hit pretty hard on the head."</blockquote>
