room 203

"why aren't you in class?"

"well hello to you too ry," plops down on the chair beside his bed

"hi rory,"

grins "i snuck you your favorite," pulls out a slice of pizza

"orlandos?"

nods and places it on a napkin

"where's yours?"

sighs and crosses her feet underneath her, "ryker please don't"

"rory,"

"i'm not hungry,"

"that's why you have a bug,"

"you sound like my therapist,"

takes a bite of his pizza "you don't know how amazing this tastes"

"because you're stuck on hospital meals,"

"no because you don't eat"\

groans "please," sighs "not today"

takes another bite of his pizza "how did you get here?"

"dawson dropped me off,"

"did he?"

nods "after a lot of begging and pleading, mom wouldn't let me ditch"

"neither would dawson,"

"which is why i did a lot of begging and pleading"

chuckles

"you have a hard headed cousin"

"that's dawson,"

sighs and plays with his hospital bracelet "do you hurt?"

scrunches face "not when i'm drugged"

"why-" stutters "why did you get drunk?"

closes eyes and gulps "i don't know,"

"ryker," whispers "you jumped in front of a train,"

"no i didn't," looks away

"you did," croaks

shakes head "no"

"playing chicken means jumping in front of trains,"

"dodging"

"but you didn't dodge this one" whispers

shakes head

"why?" whispers, eyes glossed with tears

"i don't know rory," voice cracks "i don't fucking know," wipes eyes

carefully lays on the bed beside ryker and plays with his fingers

sighs in content and closes eyes

looks up at him, her nose touching his cheek  "i want you to be okay ryker," whispers

gulps and breathes softly while rubbing his thumb softly across her cheek, "i wont be" whispers

nods and lets a tear fall

opens eyes and stares down at her face "and neither will you,"
