Upon entering the room Carlos watched Jason fidget and rock back and forth. His dad was trying to calm Jason down by telling him everything is going to be okay and that he already gave Carlos permission to date whoever he wanted to as long as Carlos said something to him first.

Jason thanked Carlos' father for everything he did. "I feel much better now, thank you." Carlos handed Jason the drink of water. "Thank you, babe." After taking a long sip of water he continued. "Is it me or is it colder now?" Jason began to shiver and chatter his teeth.

"It's your heart trying to tell you something." Carlos laughed.

"Well, that was mean." His father replied.

"We have a love-hate relationship," Carlos said.

"Definitely not true, we just play too much," Jason argued.

"This be true babe, to be true."

"Alright, boys lets get Jason to the hospital for a check-up." Carlos's father said as he got up to leave the room to find his coat.

"Hospital?!" Jason exclaimed. "I'm not going to the hospital."

"Babe its a procedure they do here."

"I don't care I'm not going." Jason cut off Carlos.

"Can you explain why?" Carlos questioned. He kept thinking to himself that he was being such a baby and selfish. He just had a panic attack. He just needs a check-up.

"Mom is a nurse and dad is a doctor," Jason yelled.

"Oh shit." Carlos began to panic himself. "Umm okay is there a hospital we could go to instead of the ones where your parents work?"

"You don't get it, Carlos, Dad is a CEO of all hospitals in Ohio!" Jason exclaimed.

"What is the point?" Carlos asked.

"If I check into a hospital he will be notified immediately along with my mother," Jason stated.

"Okay, let's stop and think about it. You need to go to the hospital because of the procedure." Carlos started pacing back and forth making Jason worry. "I mean I don't see a problem about it really he's just going to know you were checked in to a hospital."

"He's going to ask me why and how I got there," Jason replied.

"Just lie," Carlos said.

"I can't!"

"Why not you just did with andy and dad,"  Carlos whispered into his ear trying not to get it onto the tape.

"When I lie I puke." Jason continued his whisper.

"Oh." Carlos had a blank stare. "I take it your parents know about that too."

"Uh yeah!"

Carlos's father walked into the room. "I'm sorry boys I can't seem to find my jacket anywhere." He said. He began to analyze the boy's faces and knew something was up. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing dad, uh Jason feels so much better why don't we just take him home instead of the hospital. I'm sure his parents will take care of him."

"I'm sure they can but its procedure to take him to the hospital."

"I know but I just have a bad feeling about this," Carlos said.

"Its okay Carlos. C'mon boys" Carlos' father wouldn't take no for an answer. He made the boys go in front of him as they made it out the door to the hospital.
