My Sweet Cupcake- A Nightvale Fanfiction

Chapter 24

"Uhm how about I go pick us up some dinner?" Carlos asked awkwardly. Cecil was all tired out from crying and was a bit embarrassed. The room was still a mess. Cecil nodded slightly, not saying a word. As politely as he could, Carlos stood up from the bed and walked out the door. As he walked down the hall, he gathered all kinds of stares from the nurses, surgeons, doctors, and patients. Small snippets of conversation drifted through his ears. 

"...injured a nurse. He could have been killed..."

"...shouldn't be allowed to stay in the hospital..."

"...having an affair with the man upstairs...on the last floor..."

"...tried to have sex in the bedroom...

"I thought it was the bathroom..."

"No, they snuck into the kitchen..." 

Carlos pulled his jacket farther over his ears and hunched out of the room. He was met with cold air as the sliding doors whooshed open. The night was silent, now that the sun had set. Carlos walked around the parking lot and watched the multiple cars pass on the highway. He stared at his shoes, worn out red Converse with dirty white laces, and sighed.

He picked up his phone and dialed the number for Big Rico's pizza.
