4:32am, Sunday October 12th.

"Gah..what time is it?.." Sunny groaned, Struggling to get out of bed to grab his non-stop ringing phone. Who could be calling him at such an early time? All he wanted to sleep, But even that couldn't go right for him in life. Thoughts rushed through his mind, some bad, some good, But mostly bad. God, why did he have to be like this?  "Ok ok I'm coming hold onnn.." Sunny had finally gotten up, wobbling in the dark searching for his phone. Once he had finally found it, He answered it to multiple frantic noises in the background and a old woman's voice.

"Hello? Is this..Sunny Blank?" The woman could be heard shushing the voices, who seemed to quiet down after a while. I guess one had tried taking the phone, because a hand was slapped not too long after. Sunny winced, almost feeling bad for the person on the other side.

"Yes, This is Sunny blank. What seems to be the problem miss? It is quite early so I don't see why I'm being call-" 

"Your friend, Hero, Is in the hospital. He was recently admitted in for a car accident, a drunk driver came and....."

Those words hit Sunny right in the stomach. he felt like throwing up, crying, screaming, kicking something. but nothing came out. He felt a bit lightheaded, wanting to pass out right then and there.  Why would he care though? They all separated years ago, why would he be called? why wouldn't Hero's family be called? or even..Kel?

"A-ah..I see, thank you for informing me..I'll b-be there as soon as I can." I hung up immediately, Rushing to put on a white shirt, black hoodie, and some jeans. More thoughts came flowing in. Would Hero be ok? what's his condition? Will everyone else be there? wait, who even is "everyone else?" I guess Hero's family is everyone else? No that doesn't fit right.. would Aubrey be there?- why is he thinking of that? Aubrey wouldn't give two shits about him, he remember what happened that day, when he told everyone the truth.

"I, have to tell you something."

They all listened to Sunny's story, In utter shock and disbelief. Not even Aubrey could speak. After a while of pure silence, Hero finally spoke up.

"So..after we all thought she killed herself, YOU WERE THE ONE TO KILL HER? YOU LIED TO US, YOU LIED AND WE BELIEVED IT SUNNY!" Hero walked up towards sunny, grabbing him by the collar and slamming him against the Hospitals walls. He Raised a fist, Threatening to hit sunny. Basil tried to step in, but failed to do so. 

Hero looked at the boy he considered a brother to raise his arms, trying to defend himself in his weak form. He couldn't do this. Not to someone he loves. He dropped sunny, Tears welling in his eyes as he ran out of the room.

"I, can't believe you sunny. You betrayed all of our trust just so you can stay safe.." Aubrey walked out of the room, Searching for Hero as Kel glanced at him before following after Aubrey. Sunny Eventually got up, strutting over to Basil's bed and sitting down on it, a smile slightly blossoming on his face.

"we'll finally free of the something Sunny, But now you're going to leave me again..You'll come back, right? I don't want you to leave me again." Sunny couldn't help but cry, falling beside Basil as the blonde tried his best to comfort him. He played with Sunny's hair, He always loved when Basil did that when they were all kids. Sunny sobbed, hiccuping as he clenched onto Basil's hospital gown.

"I-I l-love you Ba-Basil.." Sunny managed to choke out. Butterflies fluttered In basil's stomach, He couldn't exactly put a finger onto what it was, but It felt nice. He Hummed as a way of saying 'I love you too'. And that day, was the very last day they all saw each other.

8:45am, Saturday October 12th.

After hours of driving, I finally managed to Get back to his hometown. It must've been a while since I'd last been back, Because this place was not as vibrant as it used to be. The first thing I did was go to see if anyone had bought my childhood home. To my surprise, Someone did! It was a family of five. Two younger brothers, one Older sister, And a Single mom. ok Sunny, focus. You came here for Hero, not to wander around. I Went back into my car and drove off to the hospital, anxiety rose in my stomach, Thoughts had started rushing through my head again. Will I see Aubrey, Ken and Basil?.. Would Basil even remember me? Are we still friends? what if they still hate me? They have every right to hate me. I killed my sister, their friend. What if it's a trap. No, Calm down sunny. They wouldn't have an old lady trick you into doing something like this, you're better than that. I Didn't even realize I was at my destination, The car already parked. I sighed and turned off the car, Getting out of it and checking in with the receptionist. 

((Basil's Pov))

I paced back and forth, scratching My worn bandaged arms. We haven't gotten anything new about Hero, And I was starting to get impatient. Aubrey went to go get us breakfast, I promised to pay her back later, And Kel..was being Kel. he fell asleep on one of the white plastic chairs that the hospital provided us. Eventually I stopped scratching my arms, And started to play with the flower in my head inside, It was Sunny's favorite, A sunflower. Though it attracted so many bugs, I hate bugs. The doctors came back, Aiming towards our direction, I quickly Tidied myself up, Reading for the possible worst.

"Hero Seems to be doing well, Although he did have severe internal bleeding and a few broken ribs, along with a fractured skull, He will be okay. Gotta say, He's a tough cookie. Are you family? We can let you visit him for a few." The doctor glanced up from Hero's file, smirking at Basil before looking at Kel, chuckling quietly.

"o-oh! that's good to hear, And yes, O-one of us are his br-brother. But The r-rest of us are his childhood friends, the cl-closest thing to his f-family.." I played around with the flower in my hair, Twirling it in my finger.

"Alright, I'll let your other friend come back and you guys can go visit him. Do you want anything? Water? A snack?" I shook my head, smiling before Hearing a voice shout from the end of the hospital corridor, someone who I never thought would show up."

"Actually, yeah, I'll take a water."

It was Sunny.
