•the next morning•

Zach woke up to an empty bed, he scrunched his eyebrows together in confusion. He sat up and rubbed his eyes to remove the sleepiness from them. Then he noticed a note on the bedside table, he picked it up and read it.

Good morning baby,
I'm just picking some stuff up from your parents' place because we forgot a bunch of stuff there last night. I'll be home soon, I love you
Love, Jack

Zach smiled at the note then put it back where it was. He got out of bed and threw on a shirt before heading downstairs. He smiled at Jonah, who was just in the kitchen eating a bagel.

"Good morning Jo," Zach said.

"Good morning," Jonah replied. "Where's Jack?"

"He went to my parents' to pick up some stuff that we forgot there last night. He left me a note to let me know," Zach answered.

"Well I've been up for over an hour and I haven't seen him yet," Jonah said.

"Ok, I'll call him, see what's taking so long."

Just as Zach went to call Jack, he got a call from Kristin, Jack's mom.

"Hello?" Zach said as he answered the phone.

"Zach, I'm so sorry," Kristin replied, Zach could tell she was holding back tears.

"Kristin, what's wrong?" Zach asked, which got a questioning look from Jonah.

"Jack was in a car crash, I just got the call a few minutes ago."

"Oh my god." Zach's whole face dropped of any happiness he was holding before. His eyes watered. Not another crash, this can't happen.

"I'm on the way to the hospital right now if you want to meet me there," Kristin said to the boy.

"Ok, I'll be there soon," Zach said.

"Okay, bye." Zach hung up the phone and looked at Jonah with pain filled eyes.

"Zach, what's wrong?" Jonah asked.

"Jack was in a car crash," Zach said softly.

"Oh my god, okay. Do you want me to drive you to the hospital?"

Zach just nodded. Jonah wasted no time grabbing his car keys and putting shoes on, Zach did the same before they raced out to the car. They got into the vehicle and Jonah began driving as quickly as he could to the place they both despise the most.

•at the hospital•

They both ran into the hospital and to the waiting room where Kristin was waiting. Zach ran over to the woman and hugged her as soon as she stood up.

"Hi Zach," she said softly.

"Hi," Zach replied. They pulled away from the hug then Jonah said his hellos to Kristin. They all sat down, not really saying anything else, they didn't know what to say.

Zach leaned his head on Jonah's shoulder, his bad thoughts were beginning to get to him.

"Hey, he'll be okay," Jonah said softly, wrapping his arm around the boy.

"But what if he's not?" Zach questioned, his eyes filling with tears. Jonah frowned at his friend, he hated seeing him so upset.

"He will be, I promise," Jonah answered. Zach just nodded and allowed Jonah to hug him tightly.

The next 2 hours of waiting were filled with Zach worrying and crying, a little bit of sleeping, and a lot of pacing. A doctor finally walked over to them.
