I was at my afterschool support group (which my parents forced me to do), and someone had finally insisted that I share. I hesitated. "Hey, aren't you dating that wheelchair kid?" Chloe, the girl next to me asked. I nodded. "Then you should be with him," Tara, the girl next to her said. I raised an eyebrow, then she clarified, "Muscular dystrophy kills." I glanced at the teacher supervisor, asking permission to get up and leave. He nodded and I hopped up and exited the room, whipping out my phone.

Carlos : I need to see you.

Anthony : I'm just at my house. You can come see me if you want.

Carlos : I am.
