Dear Connor Murphy

Chapter 8

Evan sat in the corner of the hospital room, the bleep of the heart monitor echoed in his ears, banging like a drum in his mind. Evan's mother, Heidi, placed a hand on her son's shoulder, bringing him from his tormented mind. "It's going to be Ok , Evan. Jared will be Ok." Her eyes filled with tears, but fought to hold them back. 

Jared laid in the hospital bed, his body was cut and bruised and damaged by many cuts and gashes in his flesh. His family was in the waiting room with Evan and Heidi. Jared had no clue what was happening around him, his mind wasn't conscious to know at all. Evan worried for his 'family friend', he had not long ago seen him at the mall and for this to happen so suddenly...

It made Evan realize how fragile people. Time was quick and merciless.  The day was fine.. how had it come to this. 

Jared had been driving home, the engine growling  as he drove on the road, on his way home. 
Jared didn't see the car as it rammed into the side of his car, the impact smashing the car door on the  right side, but Jared was safe. 

Jared hit his head hard against the side of the door, his skull breaking the glass, knocking him out cold. 

The driver that hit him flew from the window of his car and smashed into the side of Jared's car, breaking the driver's neck. He was dead. 

"Oh my God, are you ok?" A woman in a checkered dress ran towards the scene, she went to the broken body on the road, then abandoned him to check on Jared. She called 911 for a ambulance and Jared was driven toward the hospital.




And now, here he was, the beep of the monitor fell silent on his deaf ears as he continued in his slumber. Evan and his family were now in the room with him, his mother was sobbing, words came out as blubbering as she tried to talk to her son. "Come on... Come on Jared.." Evan put his hand on Jared's hand, he shook it as if it would do him any good. 

As the night went on and there was no sign of awakening from Jared, Evan and his mother went home. 

Evan sat on the couch as he scrolled through his phone reading the latest messages... most of them from Jared. 

CRONCH: Dude that was the best time in awhile. 

CRONCH: We should do it all again some time. All three of us. 

CRONCH: Unless you want time for your 'gay' boyfriend. ;) 


Evan started to cry as he read them, they weren't sad but. They might be last thing he will ever get from Jared. 'ping' Evan wiped his tears away, and looked at his phone once more. 

Unknown Number:  Hey, heard what happened. You alright? 

Evan read the message, somewhat confused. 

EVAN: Who are you? 

Evan put down his phone and walked to the kitchen, his mom stood by the fridge, her hands in the freezer, getting out a large bin of.... ice cream. Chocolate Mint. 

"Want help mom?" Evan walked up to Heidi and tried his best to smile. "Hey sweetie, how are you holding up? want some?" She gave him a smile and ruffled his hair affectionately. Evan nodded in response, he went to one of the cupboards and took out two bowls, two spoons, and a large spoon.  Heidi spooned the ice cream into the bowls and gave one to Evan. "Want to watch a movie with me? Something happy that will take your mind off your troubles? "  Evan shook his head and smiled a little. "Thanks mom.. but I just want to be alone right now." Evan walked back over to the couch and picked up his phone. 

Unknown Number: It's Connor. You know, Connor Murphy. 

EVAN: Oh! I'm sorry. Yea, I'm fine.

Unknown Number's name has been changed to Connor <3 

Connor<3 : No you're not.. Want me to come over today?

EVAN: I... guess? I don't mind actually. 

Connor<3: Be there in 5

Evan sighed and started to shovel the ice cream into his mouth, he started to cry, he didn't want Jared to be in the hospital. 
Evan finshed the bowl and laid down on his side, he pulled the blanket on the couch over his body and wiped his tears away. 

Evan sat up at the sound of the doorbell, he reluctantly walked toward the door and opened it. Connor stood in the door way, something in his hands. "Hey, You ok..?" Connor smiled, he walked into the door way. 
 

Evan nodded and led Connor up to his room, Connor was confused as Evan dragged him up to his room by his arm. 

Evan closed the door behind them and locked it. "Evan what are you doing..?" Connor went up to him and put his hand on Evan's shoulder. 

Evan wouldn't look into Connor's eyes, Connor sighed as he sat down on the bed.  "I have chocolate for you." Connor lifted up the bar to Evan. 

Evan took the bar and opened it, he started to take bites out of it, sitting at Connor's side. "Evan, it's ok. I promise Jared will be ok. " 

Evan put down the bar and looked toward him, his eyes welling with tears. "Could... y-you stay here with me tonight..?"  Connor smiled and nodded. "Hell yea I can. "  

Connor and Evan spent the rest of the night together.. 

Then drifted off to sleep in the comfort of each other's presence.
