Chuck was, to say the least, anxious. It was surreal to realize that he hadn't actually seen his brother since before Lawrence had tried to kill himself. After hearing the news, Chuck had done his absolute best to get to his brother, had argued with anyone who gave him the chance to try and get permission to see him at the hospital, but in the end he'd been told that it wouldn't be safe, that he was some sort of "trigger."
Bullshit, was what he'd thought. It had killed him to not even have the chance to see his brother's face after everything, but even more than that, Chuck was plagued by the idea that he was somehow responsible for the suicide attempt. His parents had made it clear that he couldn't think of it that way, but that didn't make it any easier to deal with.
Sheila was still dealing with the news as well, of course, and they had called off the wedding in light of what had happened. It wouldn't have been right to go through with it when his best man was out of commission. Of course, Chuck's hope was that Lawrence would one day be well enough that he could attend his wedding, but he and Sheila had decided to wait for him.
Supposedly, Lawrence had been on good behavior since his arrival at Landel's, and the staff had finally decided that he was in a decent enough mental state to be visited. Chuck had decided to on come on his own, to cut down on the amount of stress that Lawrence would be put under.
The room was mainly empty when he arrived, but Chuck spotted his brother almost immediately. He sucked in a breath, but didn't hesitate long before moving toward Lawrence. He felt like he should say something, but he wanted to see how his brother reacted first.
