Unfortunately, it didn't happen that way. After Alfred went home and made up some lie to tell his parents about him hanging out with Gilbert, he went to his room with full intentions to sleep. But it never came.

He stayed up all night thinking about Arthur. He couldn't get the blonde boy out of his head. His thoughts strayed back to what Jett had said that morning. But he is the reason that our cousin is where he's at, you know. Wait- Wasn't Jett's last name Kirkland? Like, Arthur Kirkland. Oh my God. Alfred thought. Had he been talking about Arthur? How had Alfed caused that? Alfred didn't even know about the accident until after his encounter with Jett.

These thoughts plagued him the whole night, and he didn't even notice the time until his alarm clock went off, telling him to get ready for school.

He pulled into the school parking lot with very "fortunate" luck. As he climbed out of his truck, Jett pulled into the spot next to him.

Alfred tried to hurry away, but Jett was too fast.

"Oi!" Jett shouted as he ran up to Alfred, causing him to sigh heavily.

"What do you want, Jettson?" Alfred tried to put venom into it, but it gave way to his tiredness.

"My sister may 'ave saved you yesterday, but I'm not letting you off that easy." Jett stepped in front of him and placed his hands on his hips.

Alfred just stared at him blankly, racking his brain for some type of comeback, only to come up short. Instead, he shoved past the Australian boy. "I need to get to class." He mummered, walking quickly to the school building.

Jett, however, followed him, keen on pestering him until he snapped no doubt.

"Hey, did you know you look like crap?"

Alfred kept his eyes forward. "Thank you for youtr input on my appearance. Now, please go away."

"Ohh?" Jett hummed. "No insults today, Jones?"

Alfred shoved Jett out of his way and took a few steps forward. "I'm not taking your shit." He turned back to face the brunette boy. "Better?" He promptly turned around again and kept walking, ignoring anything that Jett may have shouted at him.

He stalked into class and sat heavily in his chair. Pulling out his notebook and flipping to a blank page, he let his hand move while he thought on about Arthur. The accursed Brit who wouldn't leave his thoughts alone.

~~~

At the end of the school day, Alfred finally let himself run into the people he had been avoiding all day; Elizaveta, Gilbert, and Antonio.

"Hey! Alfred!" He heard Gilbert shout from his locker across the hall. The albino jogged up to him and slung an arm around his shoulder, Antonio following after Gilbert and leaning against the surrounding lockers. "We've been looking all over for you! We haven't heard from you since yesterday."

"Yeah." Antonio agreed. "Have you been avoiding us?"

Alfred laughed nervously. "A-avoiding you? Of course not! I just... mixed up which classes I was supposed to be in all day."

The other two boys stared deadpan at him.

"Okay, so maybe I was." Alfred sighed, shrugging Gilbert's arm off of his shoulder. "A lots been on my mind today and I just needed to think. I'm good now, though. Don't worry about it." He shoved his books in his locker, slamming it closed when he finished.

Gilbert raised his hands in the 'I surrender' pose. "Calm down dude." Gilbert heaved a great sigh. "We get it."

"You get what?" Alfred asked.

"We saw you turn right yesterday, amigo." Antonio chimed in. "Your house is left."

"S-so?" Alfred stuttered, taking a step back. "Maybe I just wanted to take the scenic route."

Gilbert laughed. "The scenic route right past the hospital? Yeah, sure." Alfred punched his arm.

"Shut up." Alfred blushed a bit, causing Gilbert and Antonio to start laughing. He shoved them playfully, a smile tugging at his lips for the first time that day.

"Hey, you wanna hang out tonight?" Antonio asked once they all calmed down some. The other two nodded. "Great! We can all take my car."

~~~

Alfred, Gilbert, and Antonio all piled into Antonio's red car after school. They had told they're parents, and they spent enough time at eachother's homes that they had clothes for each other, so no one had to stop at their houses.

Alfred stared out the window, not really paying attention to where they were or the conversation of the car. When they stopped and he heard Antonio put the parking break down, he climbed out, finally paying attention to where he was. And it wasn't Antonio's house.

He heard snickers behind him.

"And why are we at the hospital?"


A/N: Yay, Jett appeared again! Honestly, I really like writing him. Dear Alfred..... tsk tsk.... You're slowly finding out the truth. He has now learned that Arthur is in the hospital because of him. But what did he do? Both you and he must wait and find out~ *evil Slytherin laughter*

Not to mention my cliffhanger~ Poor Alfie has been tricked by his friends and is now at the hospital! Why did they bring him here? Another thing you must wait to find out! 

I'm so nice-

Anywho! Hope you enjoyed, see you next time!~ AC
