I headed back to my room since it was getting late, it was time for my affloVest anyways. I sat on my bed  and put my vest on, I lay hung off my bed upside down and started recording. I make recordings of myself everyday, no particular reason, I find my video seem to help people so I keep doing them. I heard a knock on my door, "Come in", my vibrating voice sung. A tall curly haired boy peeked his head through the crack of door. "What do you want?" I said with annoyance, he smiled harshly, that same cheeky smile, "Just came to see what ya doing" he said politely, "Shouldn't you be doing your vest" I reply In a harsh tone. He put a disgusting look on his face, "You actually do those?" I jumped from my bed, "You mean you don't do it??" he shook his head "doesn't bother me" he said while leaning against my door frame.  I continued, "Well it bothers me. Do you do any of your treatments?!" He shook his head once again. I ran up to him but remained distant, "What do you mean no, that's the whole reason your here, do you want to die or something?!" his cheeky smile faded, "you really think those help you Noah?" he said slowly, I looked him up and down, "YES! that's the whole point of being here Ben, to get treated, to get better, to-" he cut me off, "We aren't getting better Noah, we are just dying a little bit slower" he dragged out. I looked at him with a confused look, "Your an idiot" I shot back, "People like us don't get this chance often, your lucky to be able to do this, this is what we wanted-" he cut me off again, "No! this is what my parents wanted! we are breathing used air, how far do you think it's going to take us, Noah, really?" he raised his voice at me, I wanted to punch him, I wanted him out of here, but he's not wrong,  but the treatments do help. We heard one of the nurses call, "BEN, GET IN YOUR ROOM NOW". Ben didn't move, we continued to stare each other down, "Get out." I was able to say in a calm tone, "Am I wrong Noah, tell me. tell me and i'll get out". I grew more and more frustrated. I stepped back and slammed the door on him. I could hear faint yelling, yelling for Ben. I want him gone, he's going to be nothing but trouble, for himself and all of us.

***BENS POV***
I walked towards the elevator, I went to the lobby and I stayed in the hall that enters the lobby. I leaned against the wall with my head back and closed my eyes.

I let out a loud sigh and that's when I heard faint signing, then rapping

I let out a loud sigh and that's when I heard faint signing, then rapping. I walked around the corner into the lobby and saw a long black haired guy, he spotted me and motioned me towards him. He was sitting down at one of the lobby tables with a laptop and headphones in, rapping to whatever tune he was listening to. He took his earbuds out while I sat down across from him "Heyyy you're that new guy...uh bob? wasn't it?" he said with one earbud still in, I look up,"Ben.-i-its Ben" I spoke softly. He took out his other earbud and stood up straight and tall. "Well the names Lin-Manuel, call me Lin, just Lin and only Lin" He smiled ear to ear. He was a hyper guy, but chill, seemed cool. "Do you know about that one guy, Noah?" I said changing the subject. "Noah, of course, my best bud, me and him go way back, grew up in this hospital, ya know, shared the same clothes, dated the same guys, we're like brothers, have you met him?"
I grew a confused look. A nurse called for him, "I'll see ya Bob-I mean Ben, my bad. check ya later" He said while putting his ear buds back in, and with that he was off. Walking to a nurse while still dancing singing the words "Rise up" over and over again.
