"Hey? Evan?"

"Hey Jared." he sounds tired.

"You still want to come to the dorm? I can come pick you up."

"Uh... Yeah. I'd like that."

"Alright. I'll be there in a few minutes."

"Great." this poor child sounds exhausted. "And before you show up, I just wanna say... Don't freak out. Just gonna leave it at that."

"........okay??" He hangs up. "I have to go pick him but he said to not freak out when I show up. I'm so scared guys."

".... I would be so scared." Jared leaves quickly to get him. He gets there and knocks before walking in slowly.

"Ev?" And Evan sits up on his bed, arm newly casted.

"Hey Jared."

"Oh my god, Evan.... what happened?"

"I... All right, you're gonna think this is so stupid... I fell again. Off an observation deck at the park."

"Oh my god, Evan you acorn!" He's not mad. He does think it's stupid.

"I know, I know. It's dumb. I was just clumsy. I tripped, I was taking notes. It was a good thing people were around this time, right?"

"Yeah. Thank god." He pauses. "Can I sign it?"

"Yeah, go ahead." he reaches over to the bedside table to grab a pen. "Sign big."

"That was my plan." He smiles and signs J-A-R-E-D arose the entire thing.

"And just enough room for Michael, Jeremy and Rich. And maybe some more from Wyoming. But I still get number one spot."

"Where Conner's was last time."

"Yeah but it's my name."

"Much better." He smiles and kisses his forehead.

"C'mon, lets go back to the dorm."

"Okay." Jared picks him up bridal style, kissing his temple.

Evan chuckles. "Oh, you spoil me."

"Too much." He carries him out to his car.

"Isn't this a familiar sight. Me, in a car, with the guy who signed my cast the biggest, whom I love so very much."

"I loooove you too."

"I can't believe I broke the same arm too."

"Just... don't do it a third time. That's REALLY stupid." He drives him to the dorm, carrying him in.

"Hey guys look, I've got my own cripple now."

Evan waves his casted hand. "Oh my God, dude, did you miss being an acorn or something?"

"Ha ha, it wasn't a tree."

"Observation deck."

"Dude, in the park?? You could've died, man!"

"But he didn't. He just broke the same arm twice."

"You poor child."

"It's all right. You guys wanna sign it?"

"Hell Yeah."
