They Found Out | C.F. & O2L

Chapter 13

Connor's P.O.V.
I woke up and felt dizzy. I look around the room I'm in and notice I'm in a hospital room with everyone, except for Kian. Ricky is next to me and let's go of my hand I hadn't realized he was holding. I hunch myself up and watch him walk towards the door. He runs into Kian. I'm certain he was going to get him. Kian walked over and sat on the chair Ricky had been in and he takes my hand while looking intently at me, like he needs to read my mind to get answers. "Hey bud, how are you?" He asks me. I'm not sure how to respond. I'm not okay with him holding my hand, but I'm also so scared for him to let go. What if the guys leave me? I settle on an answer. "Scared." He smiles half-heartedly at me. He doesn't want to smile, I know it hurts him too much to see me like this. I wish I could do something for him, but what can I do, I'm in a hospital bed.

Not one word is shared, until the Magcon guys enter the room. I am not really sure if I'm happy to see them. I don't want them to see me like this. This is bad. I've got no choice though. They are here, in the room, and obviously already seen me. We all greet each other, and for some reason I start to feel more comfortable with them around, despite the situation. We have some interesting conversations and at some point I see Kian and Cameron leave the room, but I'm not really focused on them as Taylor is telling me an embarrassing story about Matt. And boy, does he have a lot of those stories about Matt. They shared hotel rooms. You think I've got nothing embarrassing about Ricky. It's great blackmail material. Not that I've used it often. Just twice.

A doctor entered the room and everyone, even including Jc, fell silent. The doctor walked up to my bed and Hayes and Gilinsky quickly got off my bed. "Good morning. Good to see you awake mister Franta." He happily greets me. "It's Connor." I tell him. He nods smiling. "So Connor. How are you feeling?" He starts a conversation with me. "I am great. I felt a bit dizzy when I woke up, but that's disappeared." I tell him. "That's fantastic. It's just that there are a few things we are concerned about, so we do want to keep you here for a few day longer." He says while checking some machines and most likely changing some stuff I have no clue about what they are.

The doctor left my room and I felt sleepy. I had been feeling sleepy before, but I kept myself up. It's just too much now, and I fall asleep.

Jc's P.O.V.
When Kian came back, no one told him about the doctor. We didn't want to tell him anything. It's not that we want to keep it from him, we just don't want to let him do everything. It's not fair towards him or Connor. We are here too, we can help too. Connor is asleep and some are at the verge of falling asleep. I call a food run, as I'm not really interested in the cafeteria food, neither is anyone, and Taylor volunteers. I end up taking him, Aaron and Troye with me.

Ricky hands me the car keys and we leave the hospital room. We make our way down and into the crowd that has gathered around the entrance. We make our way through and into my car. No one from the entrance had followed us, so we can get in the car quite easily and don't have to run over people as I turn out of the parking spot. We get to a mall we've never been too, and walk around to find a supermarket. We find one and get a shopping cart. We get what we want for all the boys, including Connor. The doctor told us we were allowed to get him some real food instead of hospital food. We had all laughed at that when he told us.

We finally finish walking around and get to a check out. We have to wait for a while, but our turn soon arrived. Troye put everything on the assembly line and I paid for the stuff. Aaron and Taylor put the products in the bags we had taken from the car and we made our way back. When we got back, Connor was awake and apparently very hungry. We gave him what we had gotten him and he was happy with our choices. That's why I took Troye and Aaron and Taylor with me. They could choose for the Magcon guys and Troye and I could choose for our guys.

We handed everyone their food and we got compliments on the choices we made, though we literally knew what everyone wanted. Everyone is just so predictable. We always have the same order. It wasn't that hard. We took the credits nonetheless.
