~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I start building a tower in the middle of the desert when a message appears at the top of my screen. I smile a little as I see his gamer tag. Even though we've been playing this game together for a while i like it more when I see it pop out of no where.

S3xYB3asT has sent you as message.

His gamer tag suits him perfectly I swear.

S3xYB3asT: i gtg to work, what do you want for Christmas?

Me: ok, bye i love you. Btw, thanksgiving was last week.

I don't get a response from him and just figure he's already signed off but in a few moments my phone is vibrating on the table next to me. I smile as i look at the caller ID. Layton <3. I answer and before i get a chance to talk he already begins "I know but maybe i wanna get you your gift before all hell breaks loose." I laugh at his comment.

"Yeah I know, I don't know what I want ask me again tomorrow, or tonight if you're coming over." I sober up and smile into the phone, laying back on my bed as i focus on Layton alone.

"Oh you'll see me tonight that's for sure." I blush at his comment but he continues. "I've gotta go to work now, and chad?"

"Yeah?"

"I love you too."

• PRESENT DAY • CHRIS'S POV •

(3 months after the accident)

"Chris can you please help me get Layton out of the hospital. It isn't healthy to sit in the same spot day after day." Brooke tells me on the other line and i sigh pitifully. She's right but i feel like I'm pulling Layton away from chad. I feel like if i take him away something bad will happen and i can't have that. Layton always being with chad reassures me that chad'll be ok. Don't ask me why it just does. But at the same time Brooke is right, Layton will start having bad health if he just sits there all the time. I've noticed the times i go over and visit them he has bags under his eyes and looks skinner from before. His old look that he always had around everyone is gone. He looks, broken, defeated, sad, and all at the same time hopeful. I've walked in on him whispering for chad to wake up once before and I've never seen him look so defeated. He was begging and crying, and that alone made me burst into tears. He quickly stopped crying and comforted me to the best of his ability.

I sigh and look down at my drying nail polish. "Sure i'll try my best to help you get him out of there but if he can't stand more then five minutes away from him then I'm taking him back to the hospital. I love him too much to do that to him." I tell him sadly.

"It's ok, I completely understand. Invite mike, Sammy, and Danny also. I don't have their numbers and i want all of your friends to be together to help each other." I nod into the phone and mumble a 'ok' after realizing she can't see me. "I'll see you Sunday. And Chris, take care of yourself. Have hope, chad is strong i just know it." After saying that she hangs up and i gently put my phone down, careful not to get nail polish everywhere. Oh chad, you've got to wake up. You're slowly but surely killing your soulmate.

"Let me talk to him alone, I'm sure i can get him to at least come outside and get some fresh air." I tell brook and the others as i knock on chads door then go inside. Layton looks up and acknowledges me with a small smile. " hey Layton... How is he?" I ask as i go sit next to him and chad. I look at their hands and see Layton brush his thumb gently over the back of chads.
