23.

i went to scott's room pretty quickly. he sounded weird on the phone. i'm kind of worried.

i knocked on his door a few times and he immediately opened.

"hi, i'm so sorry i made you come." scott sighed. he looked calmer than i expected.

"what? why? what happened?" i asked. he stepped back a bit so i could come inside.

"literally nothing. i had a panic attack, passed out and then had another panic attack."

"w-"

"and then i called you because i didn't know what to do. sorry."

"how come you had a panic attack?"

scott layed down on his bed facing the ceiling.
"b- i don't know."

he does know.

"i'm sorry. you can go back to your christmas party." he said, looking at me.

"are you okay?" i asked, still standing by the door.

"i guess." he covered his face with his hands and sighed.
"i just don't want to spend my christmas like this, you know?"

"you can come with me to the christmas party?" i suggested.

he shook his head, his hands still covering his face.

he looks so upset. i really wish i could do something.

i walked up to his bed and got in next to him.

scott got his face out of his hands and looked at me.

"don't you want to go back to the party?" he asked.

"not really, it wasn't that fun anyway." i lied. it was really fun, but i can't leave him here like this.

he looked back up.
"i mean, staying here with me won't be much of a blast either."

i looked at him while he was looking at the ceiling.

ever since he left the hospital his eyes have been red, like he's been crying. it's harder to see his freckles like that. i love his freckles.

"but you can always stay." scott looked at me with a smile.

i also hate how different his smile is.
i really want the old smile back. the one he gave me when we first met.

i actually just really want him to be okay.

"is something wrong?" scott suddenly asked.

"what? no. why?"

"you look upset."

ha. ha. ha. i look upset? boy no, yOu look upset.
"no no, i'm not." i shrugged.

"you sure?"

i nodded.
"yeah."

scott's phone started ringing. he got it from the table next to his bed and sighed.
"for fucks sake."

he picked up and i got my own phone.

there were a lot of texts from the christmas group chat. why are they even texting when they're all in the same room?

"yeah yeah, bye." scott hung up.

"haley?"

"yep." he sighed.
"she's been really annoying lately."

"oh." i looked up.
"i have to go soon."

"why?"

"everyone's asking where i am."

scott wanted to get up, but kind of fell back down.
"fuck."

"what's wrong?" i asked, sitting straight up.

"my head hurts." he said.
"before you leave, can you get my painkillers from the bathroom?"

"ehh, sure." i shrugged and got up from his bed.

i went to his bathroom and immediately spotted the small container of painkillers.

i don't really like that they're literally the first thing you spot in the room. i don't know why, that just seems weird.

i grabbed it and walked back to scott, throwing it next to him on his bed.

"thanks."

"always." i walked to the door, not really wanting to go away.

"have fun, i'll text you." he smiled and opened the painkillers, getting out 2.

"alrighty." i opened the door and left, closing it slowly behind me. i regret leaving him there like that, but it's probably fine.
