“What?! What’s happened to him? Is he in hospital?” I ask frantically.
Dwayne, too upset to reply, just stands frozen worried sick about his boyfriend and just cups his face to hide the tears. I don’t bother asking again I just decide to pull him into a hug to reassure him everything will be okay. Dwayne wraps both his arms around me pulling me closer to him before stepping back and wiping the last few tears off his cheeks.
“M-M-Mark called and said something like, he found him in the apartment with the door wide open and just lying unconscious on the ground with blood w-weeping from his head with glass around him he's in hospital” Dwayne struggles.
“A bottle? You mean someone broke into the house and did this?” I ask as my eyes widen.
Dwayne nods his head struggling to hold back another round of tears.
“Hey, come here” I pull him into another hug. “You know Michael will be fine, a few stitches and he’ll be all fixed”
“I know it’s just, I care about him so much. Even when he cuts himself making food I worry sick. I’d be completely lost if something bad ever happened to him”
“I know you care about him, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it, we both love him to bits and we both know deep down, he’s going to be absolutely fine after” I reassure him.
“I might go back to the room and try and rest, I needed to tell you about it anyway but thank you for making me feel better” he smiles.
“That’s okay; I’ll be here if you need me yeah?”
“Night Heather” he waves before making his way back to his room and I close the door behind him and make my way back to Ryan.
“Is everything okay? I heard crying” he asks politely.
“Yeah just something happened to Michael but he should be okay”
“Oh wow, is he okay? You can go be with him, I don’t wanna be in the way or anything”
“No no, it’s okay I can call the hospital in the morning and check up on him” I insist.
“Hospital?! Heather you should really go see him”
“Ryan, it’s fine honestly”
“I’ll go grab my car, I can take you and Dwayne if you want?”
“Ryan”
“Heather, he’s your best friend from what I can see and I’ve heard so far, if I found out my best friend had spent the night with someone instead of being with me I’d be kinda upset the next day. C’mon it’s okay I’ll drive you”
“Ryan you really don’t have to drive us we can catch a cab?” I offer instead.
“Go get Dwayne is it? And we’ll head off now” he smiles.
“Okay, be back in a sec”
I make my way down the hallway and knock on the door a few times before it opens to a slightly exhausted looking Dwayne.
“What’s up?” he asks.
“Ryan offered, well insisted, I go to the hospital to see Michael and wanted me to come get you if you feel up to coming”
Before I could even finish talking the door slammed shut in my face and re-opened a split second later with a Dwayne looking fresher and with a nice jacket because it’d be a bit cold out.
“That was fast haha”
“I really wanna see him, of course I was fast” Dwayne laughs.
“You guys ready?” Ryan asks walking up the hallway to join us.
