Acorn: Okay, that's all that matters, is that you're okay.

Acorn: Yes, Jared is okay, well not okay, none of us are really okay, but we're not hurt or anything.

Acorn: Jared broke his glasses.

Weed Boy: oh god you guys

Weed Boy: i never meant for you to get involved with this

Acorn: They won't let us back into the hospital.

Acorn: We need to see you, I need to see you...

Acorn: No, Connor, it isn't your fault, it's not your fault, it's not your fault.

Weed Boy: yes it is! if i had just been a normal fucking kid like my dad wanted none of this would have ever happened! if i had just died the first time i tried in seventh grade this would have never happened! IF I HAD NEVER BEEN BORN THIS WOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED

Acorn: Connor, you need to know that this isn't your fault. It's not your fault you're like this, Connor, I know how it feels to not want to have been born, trust me.

Acorn: But it is NOT your fault, okay?

Acorn: I don't want you to die.

Acorn: We love you, Connor, I love you, you need to know you are fine, and okay, and it's not your fault.

Acorn: I went and talked to the front desk to see if they would let you in too, and they said no, I'm so sorry, Jared, I tried...

Weed Boy: i just need to feel like im doing something useful right now guys

"Miss Porter?" Connor asked his nurse tentatively, still slightly drowsy from the sedative they had used to calm him down. She looked at him. "Can you go let Evan and Jared in?"

Miss Porter smiled lightly at him. "Of course, Connor."

She left the room.

Weed Boy: ev its ok

Weed Boy: i talked to my nurse she'll let you in

Acorn: Connor, you need to rest so they'll release you, that's all you need to do.

Acorn: Oh...

Acorn: Jared too?

Weed Boy: yeah both of you

Acorn: Okay, we'll come up there.

A few minutes later, Jared and Evan were sprinting into Connor's room. Evan rushed to engulf Connor in a hug. None of them said anything, not a word, just hugged and enjoyed each other's presence.

Jared laid at the end of Connor's bed, playing with the edge of the blanket. Connor wrapped his arms around Evan's shoulders, taking a deep breath.

"I'm so glad I have you two," he mumbled. Evan nodded, and Jared looked up. "Jared, why are you staring at me like that?"

"Nothing, it's just..." Jared swallowed. "You're beautiful."

Connor blinked. "What?"

Then Jared was surging forward, and his lips were Connor's. Connor froze, and Evan tensed, but before either of them could do anything, Jared pulled back.

"Shit--shit, sorry, I'm sorry--shit--I shouldn't have--god." Jared yanked at his hair. Connor grabbed Jared's wrists.

"Don't do that, you'll hurt yourself," he said calmly, even though on the inside he was a jittery mess.

"J-Jared, you... you l-like C-Connor?" Evan asked.

"I do--I do, I love him, I love him so much, but I love you too, Evan, I love both of you so goddamn much, and I don't know what to do with myself," Jared rambled. It was quiet for a while.

"I love you guys too." Evan broke the silence, and Connor marvelled at how confidently the sandy-haired boy said it.

"So do I." Connor smiled softly, kissing Jared's hair and stroking Evan's cheek.

"You... you do?" Jared asked cautiously. Evan and Connor nodded.

"Yeah," Evan voiced. He grabbed Jared's hand, and Jared took Connor's, and Connor took Evan's other.

Yeah. This was definitely right.
