I'm Not Okay (Dorbyn)

Two

Daniel woke up in a hospital bed. His head was in agonizing pain and it hurt to hold his eyes open. But he did despite the fact that it made him want to die. He looked over at the other half of the room to see Jonah looking at his cell phone. Daniel smiled weakly.

"Jo?"He whispers. His voice was raspy and quiet. The fact that noise even came out startled him. The older boy looked over, his eyes we're red and puffy like he had been crying. It broke Daniel's heart. The older boy leaps out of the other bed and grips the boys hand. The younger winces in pain.

"Oops sorry." Jonah whispered. He kissed the young boy's lips softly.Daniel smile again.

"It's okay Jo. What happened?" He asks , trying to sit up with no luck. Jonah sighs and looks at the floor.

"Well we were in the mission and you after we had tied up the other gang we were planning on capturing the leader but you insisted on killing him. We tried to talk you out of it at first but you said that you needed to prove something. Then Esther and Svea came out of the building talking about how they called the cops and you must have just snapped. You started freaking out and you were just standing there not running or anything. I tried to get you to come and run but I guess you couldn't hear me. Then when the cops put us in the back you just passed out. You've been out for about a week now." He says. Daniel looks straight ahead not knowing what to say.

"What happened to the other guys?" He asks looking back up at Jonah. Jonah sighs.

"They got sent off to some juvenile detention center, well Zach did I'm not one hundred percent sure about where Jack is." He cracks his fingers nervously.

"And what about you? Why aren't you locked up some where?" Daniel asks quietly. Jonah holds up his hands to see a bright pair of silver handcuffs on his wrists. He gives a big smirk.

"I made a deal. After this I'm being shipped off to the mens central prison for eighteen years." He says and puts his hands back in his lap. "I'm honestly terrified considering I'm young and gay." He says with a slight chuckle, although it was obvious he was actually uncomfortable. Daniel chuckles too.

"What about me? Have they thought of anything to do yet?" He asks. The older boy shrugs.

"I think they said something about sending you to some camp? It's basically for teens who are in crime and they're hoping they can change them." He says. "Doesn't seem like anyone actually got help from the damn place though."
Daniel looks off into the wall. They were splitting up the gang. His only friends. His family. How the hell was he going to survive.

"What about the girls?" He asks. Jonah chuckles.

"You have a lot of questions." He giggles. Daniel giggles back at him.

"Well maybe I just wanna know what going on so I won't have to panic at this camp." He says. He puts his arms around Jonah's neck. The two giggle again.

"The girls are going back to our home towns. Anna will be fine Sydney is fine all the girls are fine." He smiles. Daniel kisses Jonah sweetly and softly.

"You're beautiful." Jonah whispers. He sits down next to Daniel on the bed. A nurse walks in with a huge smile.

"Why hello there Mr. Seavey." He says looking through the paperwork.

"How are you feeling?" He takes off the stethoscope and puts them in his ears.

"I'm feeling alright I guess im pretty sore though."
The nurse puts his stethoscope onto Daniel's chest.

"Alright nice big breath." He says. Daniel inhales and exhales. "Alright perfect. Now we need to take your blood pressure." He mumbles under his breath. He looks at the little clipboard.

"Says here that you went into Cardiac arrest in the back of a police vehicle." He reads off the paper. Daniel shrugs and looks over a Jonah.

"I dunno all I remember was being in the middle of the mission. And then seeing black. Then I woke up a few minutes ago." Daniel sighs. The nurse puts the blood pressure machine onto his arm and starts it.

"Well considering you are awake I'm sure the surgery went well." He says while looking at the blood pressure machine. Daniel furrows his eyebrows.

"Surgery?" He questions. The young nurse looks at him.

"Yeah they had to send you into surgery to get your heart beating again." She says. That's when Daniel noticed all the machines he was connected to. And that he was in a hospital gown. The thing beeps nearly giving Daniel, apparently, another heart attack.The nurse smiles at him again.

"Alright everything seems to be going perfect so call me if you have any troubles but I would say you can be released by tomorrow morning." Daniel nods. "The doctor should be in soon to ask more questions." Daniel nods again and the nurse leaves the room. Daniel smiles at Jonah. That is until the police came in.

"Hello Mr. Seavey. Feeling better?" He asks with a smirk. Daniel scoffs at him.

"I'm fine what do you want?" He asks. The officer sighs.

"We are here to take your boyfriend. And to send you to the court so you can get your sentence at this camp." He says, sitting in the chair opposite of him. Daniels sighs and looks over at Jonah.

"I love you. Please don't get raped." He jokes. Jonah giggles.

"I won't at least I won't try."
The two exchanged a bittersweet smile and the dragged Jonah away. Daniel sat in silence, wondering if he would ever see his boyfriend again.
