Growing Together

PickRome: Porsche

Porsche felt bad for his friend, but there was nothing he could do to help him. Pick had brought this upon himself, so now he was left trying to find a way to talk to the unwilling Rome. One would think it would have been easy talking to him without Emma around. However, P'Oh—Emma's brother—was acting as a shield for his sister's best friend, who had been like a little brother to him as well. He was making it difficult for Pick to even get close to the short boy, and every now and then it would turn into fights.

Porsche wanted to help his friend and create an opportunity to talk to him and clear the air, but Emma needed him and so did their son. Phana, their newborn, had come a little earlier than expected. Emma was home resting, but because of the unexpected birth, Phana was still in the hospital, and because of this Porsche was dedicating his time with bouncing from Emma's house to the hospital as soon as classes came to an end.

Today though, it was different, finally, Phana was going to be able to come home to him and Emma. He was both nervous and excited to get him home to Emma. The drive was a short one from the Hospital to her home, but he had never been left alone with him for that long. At the hospital, he had the guidance and help of the nurses.

'Please, don't drive too fast.'  He could practically hear Emma's voice reminding him of the nth amount of time about being careful. 

"I wish I could look that happy about going home," Deer said with a smile as he wrapped an arm around Porsche's shoulder. "Is the kid finally going home?"

"Yeah, I'm heading to pick him up," Porsche said not being able to spill his worries about the short ride he would have to take with him to Emma's.

"You'll be fine, man, you're over stressing," Deer said patting his shoulder. Porsche was that kind of guy, to overthink things when he didn't need to. He had already been alone with little Phana without Emma, a drive should be any different.

"Thanks, Emma is worried, I guess It's getting me nervous," Porsche said with a little chuckle as he headed down the stairwells with him. "We should all go to eat tomorrow, I think Tom said he was coming back from that class trip he was taking."

"Definitely, It's been a while. I'll text Pete and Forth later to let-..."

"HEY! HEY! PICK WHAT THE HECK MAN?!" They suddenly heard Forth's voice yell getting the two to look back only to see Forth, Beam, and other Medical students holding Pick and Oh on two opposite sides of the hall.

"I am sick and tired of you Oh! Stay the hell out of my business!" Pick had said angrily as he pointed at the other.

"You're the one who doesn't quit," Oh said with a scoff. "Is it too hard for you to understand when someone doesn't want to talk to you? Take the damn hint and stop bothering him."

"It has nothing to do with you if he doesn't want to talk to me let him tell me. I don't want to hear all this shit from you!" Pick said pushing Forth's arm away from his, before pushing past everyone. He even was far too pissed to even stop when he saw his best friend, Porsche. Pick had only pushed past him and said a simple 'not now'.

"What the hell is going on?" Deer said with a frown as he looked at Forth and the other students. It was more than clear that Pick and this other kid had been fighting. The guy, Pick had called Oh, had a nasty bruise at the corner of his lip and his lip had busted open. Even Pick hadn't looked any better.

"We should get it cleaned up," Beam said to Oh, who had only nodded his head giving in to his friend.

"It's a long story," Forth said letting out a deep sigh before he was looking towards Beam who had said he was going to help Oh treat his lip.

Porsche had only shaken his head, before patting Deer's shoulder. "It's better to let Pick explain better when he's calm," He said before he was waving at the two and leaving them alone as the other students also dispersed from the hallway.

"Pick and Oh never got along, they're always at each other's throats. Whatever happened has to do with this kid from the first year." Forth said shrugging his shoulders. He had guessed they had been butting heads more so than usual these past few weeks, which was why he had followed them. It was a good thing he had, otherwise who knows, maybe even Beam would have been met with one of their wild swings. Heck, even that little first year would have been dragged in had Oh not sent him away.

"If it's not Pete being pissy, it's Pick or Tom. You really know how to pick your friends," Deer joked.

"Ey, you're one of them," Forth retorted before wrapping his arm around the guy, "Come on, I'll leave with you. Beam is staying to study anyways."
