Jeremy finally gets out. He's out again in his bed. Michael laying by his side. He wakes so much sooner this time.
"Jesus... how many more needles have to be stuck in my arm?" He's just so done. Michael has been awake for three days. He's crashing, barely awake.
"many as possible..." Jeremy jumps. He didn't realize he was there. He looks up and you can just feel how tired he is.
"Please just heal. I can't stand this place."
"Oh Michael..." he holds out his hand for him to take.
"Its terrible, Jeremy, I hate sitting here wondering if you're gonna wake up."
"You know I am. You know that I'm still alive."
"Sometimes I don't know. Sometimes I'm weak, Jeremy." Jeremy shuts his mouth, retrieving his hand.
"Please just get better so we can go to college and live with Jared and get degrees and -"
"And live our lives together..."
"Yes, God yes, just get better."
"I will, Michael. I promise."
"Good. I need to be able to sleep right again."
"Please. As soon as I get out we're gonna pack and go to Princeton."
"I could go home and pack for us. We could just go straight to Princeton."
"Then do that. That's even better!"
"After I sleep. I'm exhausted. I'll Skype you while I pack for you. Maybe I'll invite Jared up to help. It's not that far a drive. Or hell, he could come visit you."
"Jared's already at Princeton??"
"Yeah!"
"That's awesome. I'll love if he could come see me."
"Maybe if he wants to come he'll bring Rich, it'll be our first get together as roommates."
".......rich? Is he our fourth??"
"... Yes? I forgot you didn't know that." Jeremy groans.
"Do you think he still likes me?"
".... Maybe? I don't know."
"That would ruin so many things."
"I'm sure it'll be fine."
"Yeah..."
~Two days later~
Jared does end up bringing Rich when they go to see Jeremy. Michael currently isn't there.
"Jer!"
"J-red!"
"Hey Jeremy!" Rich is actually really happy to see him.
"Hey Rich!" Jeremy is actually a little happy to see him too.
"Dude, sorry to hear about... All this. Thought Michael was up here with you?"
