We get to the hospital and take him to get an x-ray, turns out he really did have a broken arm and leg but he also had 6 broken ribs and his right hand has broken knuckles. Damn I fucked him up bad "Hey man I'm sorry I -" "Don't worry I'm fine and I know you were drunk and yes I was wrong for keeping the whole Camila thing away from you, we chill?" "You know it brother" I'm happy we made up but I'm still mad he kept the Camila thing away from me. The doctors take him to another room and not to much longer after he comes back in a wheelchair with a cast on his leg and arm and a sling for his arm. The doctor wheels him towards us "So your friend here has a broken right leg and left arm and three broken ribs so he cant do much of anything and here's some medication to speed up the healing process and here's another to slow the swelling" the doctor hands Camila the medication and I limp with my crutches as Camila pushes Gabriel out of the hospital and to the car. We make it to the car and I try my best to help Gabriel into the car as Camila puts the wheelchair in the trunk. I get over to the passenger side of the car and I'm about to open the door but I hear the sound of crying coming from the back of the car and i look over and see Camila crying, I hobble over to her "Hey bab- I mean Camila, you okay?" She looks up at me with watery eyes and it breaks my heart to see her like this "Yeah I'm good but I just cant handle having all this between us happen so quickly and then you and my stalker both get hurt and now I have to take care of both of you" Her head goes back down along with the tears from her eyes "Look you don't have to take care of us and this whole thing between us doesn't have to be rushed, I mean we can just keep it casual and as just friends for now if you would like" Her tears pause "Just promise me you slow down on the drinking" I use two fingers to put under her chin and lift her head slowly to look in her eyes "I promise, Alright?" "Alright" We hug, man I wish we could hold each other like this forever but we are interrupted by Gabriel who opens the door and calls for us "Hey quit the lovey dovey shit and lets go my shows are on!" We loosen our grip on each other and both get in the car. Camila starts the car and drives us out and to go to our house. The drive felt long only because it was quiet and awkward but eventually we make it to the house.
