Broken Hearts - TreeBros Part 2 - The Separate Journeys

Chapter 26

Connor's POV:

Well I'm missing 2 weeks of school and I honestly don't know how to feel about it. It's good that I have the time off to recover from my physical pain but what about my emotional pain? I don't think I'll ever have time to recover from that.

"Connor do you need more water or anything? I could ask the nurse for some if you need it" Mom says, I shake my head.

Mom has been staying with me in the hospital ever since she found out about my accident and that I ended up here. On the first night she arrived at the hospital just completely sobbing, I kinda felt bad but what can I do? I did this to myself and I can't go back in time and reverse what I did. It's actually kinda nice mom cares a little. Zoe and dad visited yesterday but only for an hour or so before heading home again. It didn't seem like they were that shocked about the accident and honestly who can blame them? I mean I've tried to kill myself multiple times before.

"Well just let me know if you need anything" Mom says.

"I will" I say.

Will you just shut up sometimes? You're acting like I'm a baby or something.

Soon the nurse comes in to give my a refill on my water and basically just check up on me. While she's doing that another nurse comes in.

"You have a visitor" The other nurse says.

Visitor? Who would visit other then Zoe or dad or... oh wait... no I can't see him. I can't see him after what I've done to him.

"Who?" I say.

"His name is Evan" She replies.

I sigh.

I should let him in, but I don't want to see him hurt. But he probably wants to make sure I'm ok.

"You can let him in" I say.

Evan walks in with a card in his hand, I make eye contact with him. I can see he's trying not to tear up which I understand, seeing me in this state must be hard.  Evan walks up to me and places the card on the small table right next to me.

"Read it when you want" He says.

"Thanks" I say.

"Look I'm sorry this is my fault" Evan says while staring at the ground, he can't even bare to look at me anymore.

"Evan look at me, this is not your fault" I say.

"But I-" I cut him off.

"It's my fault"

"How?"

"I'm the one with the relationship problems here not you"

"But it's still my fault for bringing it up"

"Evan"

Evan finally looks up at me, he starts fiddling with his hands.

"Evan just listen to me ok? It wasn't your fault" I say.

"I just- I didn't want to hurt you" He replies.

"I know, just please don't be hard on yourself about this ok?"

"How can I not be hard on myself? Connor look at you!" Evan starts tearing up, he whips the tears away as they fall down his face.

"Look I did this to myself, I just want one one us to be happy Evan"

"But I cant be happy knowing that you're in this state"

"Ok but look just promise me one thing Evan, promise me you won't hurt yourself"

Evan looks at the ground again, tears fall from his face and fall right onto the hardwood floor beneath us.

"Evan you have to promise me" I say.

"I-I promise"

"Look at me and say it"

Evan looks up, his eyes filled with tears.

"I-I promise" He says.
