After a while, Izzy's doctor came by. Apparently they needed to talk to him and his mother before releasing him from the hospital so everyone else went out into the waiting room. It took about 20 minutes, but afterwards, Izzy and his mom came out into the waiting room. Izzy sat by his friends while his mother checked him out of the
hospital—finding something to do to pass the 10 minutes. Why did hospitals always have to be busy?

As they all walked out, Steven was in the back, trudging behind everyone else. He was still in his head about how much he's been pissing Izzy off lately. While everyone else was laughing and arguing about who would sit where in the cars, Izzy trailed slightly behind, trying to match with Steven's distance from the group and pace.

"Steven?"

The blonde looked up, looking a little nervous when he met the others eyes. "Uh..yeah?"

"I'm sorry for being a dick. It's not your fault."

"It's okay."

"It really shouldn't just be okay. You know that, right?"

"So? What can I do to change that you yelled at me?" Steven sighed, looking over at him.

"Yell back at me?"

The blonde shook his head, "I'm alright."

"Then let me make it up to you. What do you want?"

"A million dollars."

"Stevie, I'm being serious, man."

"A hug."

"You want a hug?" The brunette asked, raising his eyebrow slightly. "Yeah? It's seems pretty even to me."

"Yeah, alright, fine." Izzy sighed, pulling Steven into a hug. Steven was shocked. He was half joking, knowing Izzy wouldn't actually hug him; but he did. It wasn't some lazy side hug either.

"Well, hurry up and hug me back before everyone else see's and thinks I'm going soft."

"Oh." Steven chuckled and wrapped his arms around the brunette. "Not like that." Izzy shook his head in a disappointed way. "So...hard?" Steven gave Izzy a mockingly scared face, his eyes wide and his lips slightly parted in a gasp. "Alright, we're done here, you freak." Izzy let go of the blonde, gently pushing him forward to join the group, earning a small chuckle from Steven.

"Steven, did you wanna hang out with me and Nikki?" Tommy asked when he saw the two joining the group again. "Uh...no thanks." Steven's face had a light pink to it. "Oh, alright then. Next time?" Tommy nodded softly. Duff gave the short blonde a weird look, but didn't say anything. "I don't know." Steven shrugged before turning to Izzy, changing the subject, "Are you going home?" he knew Izzy was going home, but a question—to shut Tommy up—wouldn't hurt.

"Uh, yeah, i'll probably just chill for today." Izzy said. Everyone said their goodbyes before Axl and Izzy got into Mrs. Isbell's car. Usually Izzy would sit in the front, but he found it more comfortable—and fair—to sit in the back with Axl; the ginger found that gesture to be sweet.
