Almost on cue, the nurse walks in. "Oh good, you're both awake. Chase I just processed your paperwork and you are allowed to go home. However we understand if you want to stay and wait until your...boyf-"

"FRIEND. He's my friend." Chase interrupts the nurse, now very obviously flustered. He didn't even realize that he had sat down at the foot of Sebastian's bed.
The nurse looks the two up and down. "Right, friends. Sureee."

Chase stayed in the hospital room watching Sebastian until visitation hours were over. He sat in the lobby and waited until he eventually fell asleep. He checked his phone to 37 missed calls and almost 200 texts. He called Mr. Davenport and explained that there was an accident at the dance studio and he had to take care of it. He made up some story that there was a fire and he had to stay on the mainland to help the police determine the cause. The lie was outlandish and barely believable, but he got away with it. With that issue out of the way, he shut his eyes and waited until he could see Sebastian again. To keep an eye on him. No other reason.
