They pulled the both of us into separate rooms. They bandaged me up and they put an IV line in. They gave me morphine, everything was hazy.

I should've tried running. Even with the morphine in me I should've run. I should've taken the elevator.

"Crying I see?" That man. He leaned against the doorway. I didn't even realize I was crying.

He watched me quietly. That man. Blonde hair, green eyes.

He was young. He didn't look too much older than 18.

Was he a minor?

"I hate you." I breathed out. He was unnerved by my words.

"I know." He said it so nonchalantly, I knew he cared.

"Don't lie...to-" Suddenly he was up in my face.

"I said...I know." He said. He lifted me up by the collar. I felt so weak. His eyes seemed to glisten.

Who was this guy fooling?

He's like me...and now I didn't feel scared.

He denied everything, he ignored it all under a temper and jobs.

But inside-

"You better not cause trouble, if you do...I don't care that he needs you healthy I will break you." He let go of me and I fell back limp on my bed. The monitors seemed to explode with sound.

It reminded me of when Haru was in the hospital.

When Skylar died.

I never went to her funeral, Brandon didn't either, I don't know who went.

My heart was heavy.

I missed Tadashi.

I missed Austin. 

I missed both sets of parents.

I missed everyone.

I watched as he stormed out of the room, even above the monitors I could hear his loud footsteps.

I hated hearing that sound.

I wanted to be wearing his shoes. I wanted to be walking out of the room, healthy, mind clear.

I wanted a chance to restart.

I wanted a chance to apologize.

I wanted to do so many things.

People rushed in and checked my vitals and put in more morphine. They checked my IV. I was Haru without the scars.

I was Brandon without the dead girlfriend.

I was broken.

For no reason at all.

***

I can't say anything. I can't tell anyone.

This has to stay secret.

I have to keep my mouth shut, I have to if I want to keep we alive.
