"Look, I'm only calling you because I need to know what hospital you're mom is taking Nick to."
"The one by our houses."
"Okay. Matt and I will be there soon."
"Okay. I'll let my mom know."
We get to the hospital and see Chris and his dad sitting in the lobby.
"Is Nick okay!?" Matt asks freaking out.
"He's getting checked out right now."
Matt hugs me and puts his head on my shoulder. I kiss the top of his head and rub my fingers through his hair.
Chris looks at us with jealousy.
"It'll be okay love I promise. Nick will be okay."
The triplets father turned to Chris.
"Since when did Matt get a girlfriend?"
———————
I fell asleep on Matt's shoulder with his arm around me when the doctor came over to us.
Chris tapped both Matt and I to wake us up.
"Is Nick okay?"
"Nick will be fine. He just had a very bad panic attack but he'll be okay."
"Oh thank god." Chris says lightly.
Chris hugs Matt and I at the same time. I didn't yell at him for it since he was scared. For some reason, Chris's hug was warm and actually made me feel safe. I'm not saying that Matt didn't make me feel safe, but Chris was different.
"Can we go see him?" Matt asked.
"Go ahead. Room 219."
Matt and Chris run full speed toward the room and hug Nick. And I slowly walk in and lean against the door frame.
"Thank goodness your okay." Matt says lightly.
The triplets mother had walked over to me.
"Thank you for staying Shelby."
"Of course Ms. Sturniolo. I love the triplets."
"Please, call me Mary Lou."
I smile and Nick calls me over.
"I'm sorry for ruining your guy's date."
"You didn't ruin anything Nick. Everything went perfectly. But on the other hand, are you okay?" I asked.
"Oh uh.. yeah.. I'm fine. I just have a lot on my mind and I guess my brain couldn't take it all."
"Nick, you can always talk to us."
"And if you don't want to talk to your brothers I'm always here."
"Thanks Shelb."

Matt and I drive back in the van while everyone else is in the other car. After we pull in the driveway I turn to Matt.
"Hey Matt."
"Yeah?"
"Can I stay with you tonight?"
"Of course. You know your always welcome here."
Suddenly Matt kisses me. I felt like I was on another level of earth. The only problem, why did I kind of want it to be Chris?
