The Day After Boyz

Chapter 7

As I got to the hospital I couldn't stop shaking. My heart hurt. Not only my brother got hurt, but so did Nick. He means so much to me. Both of them do.

I saw Mikey in the hallway.

"what the fuck happened. Tell me everything."

"It wasn't supposed to go like this babe."

"Tell me."

"We were getting high and nick and Jericho were messing around and fell. They hit their heads on the ground and table. But they'll be fine. Just a couple of stitches."

I automatically teared up. I was furious. But I calmed down when Mikey did his tight hold on me again. I relaxed into his arms and his breathing slowed. He held on even tighter and my cheek was squished against his cheek.

"I need you okay babe." He says.

"I just want this all over."

"It will be. Well be back to our high life soon."

"No Mikey you don't understand."

"I do."

I took a deep breath. And then the doctor came in.

"Miss? Is Jericho your brother?"

"Yes."

"Okay he's ready to go home."

Jericho slowly walked out holding his head.

"Stupid ass idiot."

"Maybe if you weren't dating this faggot I wouldn't have done it."

"Could have said no."

"He would have told you."

"Told me what?"

"Nothing." Mikey interrupted.

I looked at him for a while and then headed towards the door. Wait where's nick?

I turned around and he was watching us hold hands. Pain in his eyes. I immediately dropped Mikey's hand and ran over to nick. I gave him a long hug but he didn't hug me back.

"Feel better soon."

"Yeah."

I turned back around and Mikey kissed my nose.

Jericho was already in the car. I rolled down the windows and saw nick clenching and unclenching his fists. He mouthed "watch yourself." And turned around. My heart immediately started to race.
