(told in perspective of Andrometa)
I am not an expert on any injuries like Andrometa's so if I need to fix anything that needs to be fixed, just let me know in the comments!
The doctors swarmed around me in the small room of the medical bay. One second a doctor would come and say, "I need to take your blood pressure."
And the next second another doctor would be there and say, "I need to take an x-ray to double check for any internal damage." It was chaotic and it took all my energy just to focus on everything they were telling me to do.
"Stand up Andrometa!" I stood up and I wiggled my leg, it felt normal. "Can you walk?" I tried walking around and I did it with ease. "Do you feel any pain in your left leg?" I moved my leg around again and shook my head. "Good! Now we need you to take it easy on the stitches that we put in so you don't accidentally pop them, are you good with that?" I nodded, and I stuck with nodding or shaking my head the rest of the entire time. I was to exhausted to even think straight, and that look, the look in Matthew's eyes when he left, I just couldn't keep my mind off of it. Something just wasn't right.

After an extensive series of tests the doctors ran on me, they finally left me alone to rest for a little while. I laid down on my pillow, putting my hand underneath the pillow to prop it up a bit more. Suddenly, I felt a small piece of paper slide across my finger, I grabbed it and looked around to check if anyone was watching. I slowly slid the paper out and found a tiny white envelope with the name Andrometa written on the front of it. I opened the envelope and unfolded the letter:
Dear Andrometa,
I know that we haven't had the best history together, and that you betrayed us for the Estrellas camp, and hated my guts before the mission began, but I just feel like that person you try to be, isn't really you. I've looked deeper, and to be honest, I can see that deep down, you never wanted any of this, and I don't blame you, and anyone else who does is crazy. I left on the mission again Andrometa, and, before you get mad, you need to remember that you need to take time to recover. And, most importantly I will come back, I promise that. And again, I'm just gonna flat out say it, or rather write it, Andrometa, I love you more than words can say, and right here, right now, this mission, is for you.
In love with you,
Matthew Crustello
P.S. I left something for you in my room, just to make sure you know I'm coming back.
Well that explains the look he had before he left. I wiped away my now tear filled eyes and I sat up in bed, just staring at the newly found letter, just thinking about how dangerous it would be for him, and especially, how much I would miss him. Be safe Matthew. Suddenly a group of security guards walked in and I quickly shoved the letter underneath my pillow.
"Check for clues Crustello might have left that could tell us where he was going." One of the guards whispered. "And you, check to see if the girl knows anything." The guard gestured towards me. I held my breathe as the guards came over.
The guards pushed forward one of the other guards and he rolled his eyes and then looked at me. "Uhhhh, Ms. Turner, did Mr. Crustello possibly leave anything that might tell us what he was planning on or where he was leaving to?" I felt underneath my pillow where I had found the letter. Should I give it to him? No! Am I crazy?! Why would I give it to him? I slid the letter further behind my pillow and shook my head.
"No, I had no idea that he was even leaving, much less where he was leaving to." The guards nodded and continued to look around. I slid the letter into the pillow case.
The guards saw me with my hand underneath the pillow case and one of them came over to investigate. "Sorry to bug you Ms. Turner, but we do have to look everywhere..." I rolled my eyes and sat up, picking up the pillow to reveal an empty bed. "And the pillow case, if you would?" I rolled my eyes again and shook the pillow case off, carefully catching the letter and secretly sliding it into my sleeve.
"See? Nothing there, now would you guys please leave? I'm pretty sure the doctor said 10 hours of sleep, not 5 hours with some grey areas where guards came poking around." I said annoyed, hoping they would leave and I could hide the envelope better.
"Point taken, we'll just get out of your hair, sorry to disturb you." They rushed out and left me alone in the room, alone with my thoughts, and the letter. I slid it out of my shirt sleeve and looked at it again, I need to find a better place to hide this. I stood up and lifted up the matress, slipping the envelope underneath. This should be a safe place, for now. Now what was it that Matthew had left for me? I laid back in bed, staring at the old, worn, popcorn ceiling of the room. Yeah that's it I am not sitting here anymore, I need to find out what he left me. I sat up and hopped out of bed. Running as fast as I could to Matthew's bedroom, getting the occasional awkward look in the hallways. I rushed to his door and opened it as fast as I could, revealing all the guards I had just seen.
"Ummm Ms. Turner? I thought you were supposed to be getting some sleep?" The guards looked at me and I awkwardly stood there, surveying the room for anything he could have left for me. What is it? What is it? I laughed awkwardly and the guards started to move towards me. Then I noticed it, MATTHEW'S JACKET! He never leaves anywhere without it!
"Wait!" I yelled and the guards stopped. I had to think of something to get that jacket back but what? "I-I left my jacket that I leant to Matthew in here, I just came to get it back." The guards all shrugged, nodded in agreement and took the jacket off of it's chair.
"I don't see why you couldn't take it, I mean, it's not like it has any evidence in it..." They all shrugged again and the guards have it to me.
"Thanks." I walked away and slid it on, putting my hands in the leather pockets. Then I felt a slip of paper. I quickly ripped it out of the pocket and unfolded it quickly. It was another note from Matthew! It read:
Stay warm until I get back, we're heading off to a town in the mountains that we hadn't checked out yet. I miss you already!
-Matthew
I laughed and slid the note back into my pocket. A bunch of medical staff rounded the corner and started fretting about me being out and about. "I'm fine! I'm fine!" I kept telling them. They led me back to the medical bay and back to my bed. Then, I thought back to the letter in the jacket's pocket, "I miss you already!" Then the letter now underneath my mattress, "I love you more than words can say." Then I looked up at the ceiling again. I love you too Matthew... but you'd better come back in one piece, or I'm hunting you down myself!!
