Evan's POV
"Evan?" Connor says, weakly.
"Hey, how's it going?" I ask, standing awkwardly in the doorway.
"Well, it's going," he smiles. "How do you know I was here?"
"I was at the orchard when, uh, you know, and I called the ambulance," I explain.
"Oh," he says. "Thank you."
"Connor, I'm so sorry, I have to be honest." Connor looks worried. "I still l-"
Jared bursts through the door. "Babe, are you okay?!" His expression changes to disgust. "Why is he here?"
"I was just leaving," I say, quietly, pushing out of the door. I settle back into the plastic chair, bored again. After a few minutes, Jared crashes out of the door.
"This is your fault, Evan!" Jared screams, people stare.
"How is it-"
"You were there, Evan! You could have saved him!!"
"He's not d-" I try to speak.
"He's hu-"
"Fuck you, Jared!" I hear myself yell. Jared runs outside. I need some air so I follow him. I stand with my back leaned against the wall of the building.
"Fuck you, too, Evan," Jared says calmly, I watch a tear slip down his face. "He's still in
love with you. He just broke up with me. I know he still loves you, he didn't even need
to say a thing."
"Jared..."
"It's true. Go in and see him, please."
"Can we still be friends?" I ask, hopefully.
"I think so. Once we're both better," he directs a sad smile at me.
"Yeah, once we're both better," I smile back, and push back through the hospital doors. I take a tissue from the front desk, wiping the dried mud from my face. I open Connor's door. He has tears in his eyes, but smiles at me anyway. "I'm so sorry," I say.
"Me too... for everything, I'm not even going to college," he says, and I smile, sadly. "But, Evan, I still love you, I think I always will, but-"
"Will we date again?" I ask, then I panic. Evan. why the fuck would you say that? "I'm sorry that was insensitive as heck." I stare, blushing at my feet.
"I don't think we can until we're both okay mentally, so not yet," he smiles softly.
"Not yet," I repeat. And everything's okay.
