How Did This Happen?

Kim, thank you very much for your review to you it might not have been anything big but to me it made me actually want to update. I guess people don't really understand that when you write chapter after chapter and get no reponse you kind of don't see the point to write anymore. I thrive off it, reviews make me want to keep going. =) so thank you for getting me back into this story myself.

If this chapter isn't the best that's what I get for being in the mood to write at 3am, I apologzie lol.

She'd never called him back, why hadn't she called him back? Matt felt something inside him tighten, he'd tried to call her once his wife had finally left but their converstaion had been brief and she'd hung up on him. Being stuck in this damn hospital was getting on his nerves. He wanted to go her and find out if she was ok but he knew that wasn't an option besides he was the reason she was hurting wasn't he? First his temper, then his flirting only to have his wife soon to be ex wife if he was being honest shows up.

"Matt, where is she?"

Matt pulled his attention away from the window and settled it on Molly smiling softly, he didn't know how to explain it to her

"The nurse yesterday said she wasn't feeling good, I bet she just called in sick kiddo"

She nodded her head before going back to the card game she was playing and Matt went back to his own thoughts. He didn't for a moment believe she was sick but that made her not showing up today all the worse. It was just then that his door opened but instead of Azure it was Robyn

"And how are we feeling today Mr Parkman? Better?"

"Yeah, no Azure today then?"

"No, she didn't call in either which isn't like her. I'm sure she's fine though, I'm here to get your lunch order if you're hungry"

Matt sighed before rattling something off to eat. Azure didn't seem like the type not to call in but he was probably just over thinking things. She most likely had just slep in nothing for him to worry about. He hoped.


She'd cried herself to sleep, body shaking heart breaking sobs. He'd pretended he hadn't given a damn. The tears hadn't come right away, maybe an hour after she'd stopped talking to him. One moment she'd been on the bed silently, the next she'd been in the middle of a melt down and it was his fault. He should have killed her that first night, taken her power, and gone on with his life but he'd waited and yet he still hadn't gotten around to it. There was something about her, hell he's promised to kill her and then she'd hugged him when she'd hurt his feelings what kind of person did that? He'd just exited the bathroom wearing only a blue towel around his hips and almost slammed into her. She stood there her big eyes wide dressed in only his t-shirt.

"What"

"C..can I use the bathroom"

He nodded his head and she's hurried past him and inside it, the door slamming closed once she was inside. He heard the water start to run and then heard the crying again, it made a part of him deep inside ache. His own thoughts making his mood darker he headed towards his bedroom to change.

Azure slid down the wall of the shower as the water mixed with her tears. She'd given herself to him, given herself to a killer. He showed no remorse for the things he'd done, planned to end her own life, and she'd just given herself to him. What was wrong with her? Was she that stupid? Pulling her knees to her chest she tried to erase last nights events from her memory. She wanted to replace them with thoughs of hate but she couldn't that look of hurt kept flashing into her head and then the tears came all over again. Something had to be wrong with her. An hour later she dragged herself out of the bathroom and wrapped a towel around herself before using his brush to comb her hair. Opening the bathroom door she found a folded t-shirt and shorts in front of it, ignoring them she headed into the living dressed in her towel to find her own clothing. Instead she found him sitting at a table watching her.

"I left clothes for you"

"I don't want your things"

"Azure, go put them on"

"I'll wear my own"

But as she reached for her own pants she watched them fly across the room to land on the table. Slowly she looked up at met his gaze she didn't want a power struggle with this man.

"Go get dressed Azure"

"I'm fine"

He slowly rose from his seat and she found herself back peddling only stopped when she felt her back come into contact with the wall. Soon enough he was barely a few inches away from her and his hand reached for the towel. She reacted quickly and clutched it to her body shaking her head.

"Just...leave me alone"

"Then go get dressed"

"I dont want anything that belongs to you. Why the hell do you even care what I wear. You fucked me remember, I was your whore for the night so unless you get hard killing people in your own clothes I will not be putting it on"

He looked as if he wanted to say something but instead he just turned and walked back into the kitchen leaving her alone. She quickly hurried back into the bathroom and when she exited again she was dressed. Slowly she made her way into the kitchen and watched him but he made no move to acknowledge her again.

"I need to use the phone"

"Oh well"

"I have to call work you ass, they're going to wonder where I am. Which means they'll come looking for me and my car is outside your apartment."

"You have five minuets"

She nodded and reached for the phone on the counter when his voice froze her

"Don't say anything stupid Azure, understood?"

She nodded her head before dilaing her work, after a moment Robyn came onto the line

"I'm sorry Robyn, I didn't get any sleep at all last night. I think I've caught something would you be able to cover my rounds for a few more days?. Thank you so much Robyn and could you give Mr Parkman a message for me?"

She felt Sylar still at the table and new she would have to phrase her next comments very carefully

"Just let him know I'm ok and not to worry. Tell him that the bruise on my neck is getting better. Thanks again Robyn"

She'd only just hung up the phone when she found herself trapped between the wall and Sylar's body. His face was closed down and she couldn't help the shiver that went through her body

"You must think I'm dumb Azure, I warned you to not say anything stupid didn't I? But you just wouldn't listen would you? And now, well now I have to make you understand what a mistake that was don't I."

"Gab...Sylar please I didn't I- ugh I doesn't matter anyways does it? You're planning on killing me so who cares if I don't listen to you, you insensitive asshole"

He should have choked the life out of her, should have ended all this but instead he crushed his mouth against hers. The moment their lips touched her body sagged against him and he forgot to be angry at her all he could feel at the moment was the way she fit against him. He was loosing his mind. He could feel her mumble something against his mouth and pulled back a little.

"I hate you."

"I hate you to princess"

And then she'd grabbed his mouth back to hers, moaning as his hands slid down her body.

"You hurt people you're"

"Evil, yeah heard it all before, now shut up."

And like that he started to push her pants off as she dragged her fingers threw his hair. He was setting himself up for trouble. The cop would come looking for her, he would either have to send her back and move or he killed her either way he really needed to stop underssing her but as he told himself this her hand found its way into his shorts and his brain shut off.


"She said her bruise was getting better?"

"Mhm, and that you shouldn't worry about her."

"Why would she tell me about her bruise?"

He frowned as Robyn excused herself from the room. Molly was with Mohinder today so he was alone, he tried to sense if Azure had sounded upset during their brief phone call but nothing really came to mind. She'd sounded odd, but not worried he'd assumed at the time she just didn't want to talk to him.

"What the hell woudl her bruise....fuck"

Matt sat up straight with a wince and reached out to grab the phone at his bedside he needed to call Noah.

"Sylar."
