Eben's Friend/ Why Don't We

~34~

Carter's POV
I walked in turned around and walked right back out. I closed the door and quickly found the staircase. I walked down a few steps and sank on the ground and started to cry. I just couldn't go in there and see him like that. My phon event off and it was Daniel.

~~~~~Daniel🍉~~~~~
Daniel🍉: How is he?
Carter: Come find me.
Daniel🍉: What do you mean?
Carter: I'm sharing my location with you and I need you to come.
Daniel🍉: Well I'm at the house but, Okay. I'll be there as fast as possible.
Carter: Ok Thanks.
Daniel🍉: No problem.

I knew it was gonna take him a while so I took my phone out. I put my headphones on and listen to my Slow Song Spotify playlist. I was scrolling through Instagram when I saw a picture that I'd never seen before.

I was so overwhelmed by emotions. These boys are just amazing. I was lost in my own world of tears and love and hard choices when I was taken out of it by a very familiar voice.
Daniel: Can I sit here?
Carter: Hey.
Daniel: Stop crying Carter.
Carter: Why should I?
Daniel's Because he's gonna be fine.
I felt rage start to build up inside me. I stood up and dug my nails into my palm.
Carter: You don't know that! That's complete bullsh*t Daniel! He could die right now. And if he did, it would be my f*cking fault! How would you feel if someone you loved died and it was YOUR FAULT!?!
For the millionth time, I broke down. I sat down and cried. Daniel scooted over and put his arm around me. I cried into his shoulder for a while.
Carter: I think I can't physically cry anymore.
Daniel: Let's go to the waiting room and send someone else up Okay?
Carter: Yeah.
We walked down the rest of the stairs and got back to the waiting room.
Jonah: How is he?
Carter: I don't know.
Joe: What do you mean you don't know? You were just up there with him for like an hour.
Carter: About that...
Jonah: You didn't go through with it. A little part of me thought.
Carter: Well you could go up to see him if you want.
Jonah: Actually, the doctor just came to tell us that we should go home because they have to check up on him and then run some tests.
Carter: Okay then.
Daniel: Will you be good?
Carter: Yeah I've got Joe so I'll be fine.
Daniel: Okay.
Joe: You ready?
Carter: Here are the keys. Give me a minute.
Joe: Alright.
He walked out of the room. I turned to Jonah and Daniel. They smiled at me and hugged me.
Jonah: They said he'd be in there for a good 3 hours.
Carter: I'll be back in 2 and a half. Also, thanks for the post on Instagram. That was really sweet.
Daniel: We really meant it.
Jonah: We can't take credit for it though. It was Corbyn's idea.
I looked down at the ground. I literally couldn't cry anymore so I just kinda sniffled.
Carter: Bye Guys.
Jonah and Daniel: Bye. Love you.
Carter: Love you too.
Joe was waiting for me outside.
Joe: Where did you park?
Carter: Give me the keys.

After 2 and a half hours I was back at the hospital and pacing. I kept seeing doctors come in and I think they are gonna call Corbyn's name but they never do. Joe stayed at home with Ariel and the boys aren't here so it's just me. I sat in my phone and looked through Twitter answering some questions fans asked. I went on trending and the number 2 most trending hashtag was #GetBetterCorbyn and number 3 was #ThinkingOfCorbyn. It madd me happy to see people believing in him and supporting the boys and I while we are going through all of this. But I had to wonder, how did they find out. I went on YouTube and #1 on trending was "I Really Messed Up This Time". A video by Mr Logan Paul. I put on headphones and listened to it. He explained the situation and then said how he was being a dick and that he was really drunk and that there was no coming back from this and that he was sorry. He better be. I saw a notification pop up from Instagram. I clicked on it and it took me to my DMs

~LoganPaul~
LoganPaul: Hi Carter. I made a huge mistake last night and I want you to forgive me.
Please let me explain myself.

CartER: You have 1 minute to type a response.

LoganPaul: I was so totally wasted that night alcohol does crazy things to me. That is not at all what I normally am like. I'm really sorry.

CartER: You are aware that I'm at the hospital waiting to see if Corbyn is ok right?

LoganPaul: Like I said, I would have never done that if I hadn't drank that much. I'm paying a toll too.

CartER: Blame it on the alcohol, classic. If you try to talk to me again, I will report you. And, don't think I won't.

LoganPaul: I just wanted you to hear me out.

CartER: And I did. It's because of you that someone I love's life is in danger. I've listened to you as much as I can with put coming over and slapping that sh*t out of you.

LoganPaul: Carter. Just give me one chance.

CartER: F*ck off.

Nurse: Corbyn Besson?
I practically shot out of my chair.
Nurse: Please follow me.
I flowed her and texted the boys. She took me a few floors higher than the last lady and lead me to the end of the hall.
Nurse: He's up, but not much.
Carter: Is he okay though?
Nurse: He was when I left a minute ago.
Carter: Thank you.
Nurse: No problem.
This time I did it. I walked through the door frame and int' the room. I closed the door behind me. I took a deep breath and turned around. There was a chair next to his hospital bed so I sat in it. I put my hand on top of his and stroked it. I pushed his hair out of his face revealing a black eye and a row of 5 stitches. I just looked at the floor when I felt a hand grab mine and interlock our fingers. I looked up and saw two blue eyes and a big smile.
Corbyn: Carter.
Carter:(crying) Corbyn.
I git up and repeatedly kissed him.
Carter: Oh my god. That was terrifying. Why did you do that?
Corbyn: Well, people do crazy things...
He met my gaze and we looked deep into each others eyes.
Corbyn: When they're in love.

A/N: Did any of y'all catch my Hercules reference? Lemme know in the comments. Also,only 2 more chapters till she makes her choice. Who will it be? Keep in mind, I might not pick the obvious. Don't forget to C&V. I love you all.❣️
