Chapter Five: We meet again.

3rd person's POV:

"Dylan!!!"

Ryan and Kaitlyn gasped as they saw the boy they adored sitting up in his bed and rubbing his eyes. His gaze snapped toward the two as they called his name.

"Guys..?"

He sounded unsure, as if he were dreaming.
Kaitlyn almost exploded into tears, she ran up to his hospital bed and swept him into her arms.

"Don't you ever fucking scare me like that again."

She scolded as he returned her embrace. Ryan stood in the doorway, staring at Dylan with disbelief as doctors rushed past him.

The doctors motioned for Kaitlyn to step away briefly as they took Dylan's temperature and blood pressure. After they finished up, they nodded to Kaitlyn and she basically nuzzled her bestfriend again.

The doctors left for them to have some alone time. Ryan leaned against the wall, staring at the two.

"Ryan?"

Dylan said his name as if he thought he were imagining his presence. Kaitlyn stepped away from her bestie before gazing at Ryan with a grin.

Ryan stepped towards Dylan's bed and gazed into his eyes.

"Hey Dylan Dylan."

Dylan smiled his crooked smile that Ryan loved.

"Hey Ryan Ryan."

Ryan smiled sweetly and Kaitlyn rolled her eyes.

"I'm going to give you two some alone time before my heart literally melts with all this wholesomeness. Yuck."

She strolled out of the room, leaving the two boys to themselves.

"So..how long was I out?"

Dylan asked after a few seconds of silence.

"4 months."

Ryan confirmed, seeing Dylan's face light up with horror.

"H-hey. Don't stress though! It's fine. If anything you're the lucky one. You got to miss out on all the drama with the cops and the charges and blah blah blah. Boring stuff."

Ryan smiled gently at the boy and he seemed to relax.

"Hey Ryan.."

Dylan swallowed.

"Yeah?"

Ryan responded, looking into Dylan's warm brown optics which he had missed.

"Uhm.. why are you here? Like- to visit me. Don't you live like 30 minutes away from here? And with your sister and everything.."

Dylan asked sincerely. Ryan was a bit taken aback by the question.

"Oh, Kaitlyn kinda forced me to. Not that I didn't want to or anything. I guess I just felt really bad for what happened and I couldn't stand to see you..But I'm glad Kaitlyn talked me into it. It's good to see you again and I'm just happy you're finally awake."

Ryan answered, hoping not to offend Dylan but instead the boy wore a look of gratefulness.

"Didn't know you were that worried for me."

Dylan smirked, raising an eyebrow.

"Don't wear yourself out Lenivy."

Ryan grinned as Dylan rolled his eyes playfully.

"What happened to the others..?"

Dylan continued conversation, switching it back to interest.

"They're fine. As far as I know they've all come to visit you."
