Chapter 20

Zoe's POV
I nervously walk down a hospital hall.

I haven't visited Connor in a while, now... Would he realize? Or would he not care?

Taking a deep breath, I reach the door to his room.

Alright Zoe, you can do this.

I raise my hand and formed a fist to knock on the door, but I hesitate.

What if he doesn't want to see me?
Will he scream at me to get out?

Alright, you're being irrational, just do it, like the Nike guy says.

I knock on the door.

No answer.

I knock again, but still no response.

Maybe he's fallen and he can't get up?

I surpress a smile. That would be hilarious though.

I twist the handle and swing
the door open.

As soon as I do this, Evan and Connor were like monkeys.

Connor is rolling on his bed while the top of Evan' head is on the floor but he's half lying on his back on the bed.

"Are you guys high?!" I exclaim.

Evans POV
Connor freezes and shoots Zoe an icy glare. "So you don't see me in almost two months, and that's the first thing you say to me?"

Zoe seems confused, but it quickly changes to anger. "Well you sure looked like it!" she yells.

He abruptly sits up. "Are f*cking kidding me?! Do you think I can even get high in a hospital?!"

"Knowing your personality, probably," Zoe snaps.

"Do you really think that low of me?" Connor asks, staring at the floor.

I tense. Zoe, please say the right thing.

"Yes. I do!"

I gasp. No.

Connor turns away from Zoe and looks at the window. "I don't care."

"Well, I don't care about you!"

"I know you don't! You guys never did," he seethes.

"Guess that's why I haven't visited you in so long," Zoe snaps.

I see tears form in his eyes.

"F*ck you!" He yells.

"F*ck you!" She fires back.

"You hog all the attention and love from Cynthia and Larry!"

"So?"

"Why can't you let me be loved by them for a little longer?"

"They do love you, they visit you twice a week!"

"But-"

"They have jobs, and they have to play of your medical bill too! It's not my fault you can't do anything right!"

"I know that!"

The room goes silent. Zoe has a face with regret on, while Connor is still facing the window.

Zoe looks down. "Connor, I-"

"I can't do anything right. If I had just done one right thing for once, I wouldn't have landed here."

Zoe looks confused again. "Wait-"

"Get out," Connor orders.

"Connor-"
