Jorge's POV
-
I pulled in near the emergency room entrance and parked the car, getting out to help Benji with Noen.

Noen's nose had slightly stopped with the bleeding, but it was misshapen. He'd probably need surgery.

I grabbed Noen's phone as Benji helped him inside the hospital. I unlocked the phone and called Noen's mother while Benji got him checked in.

I avoided Noen's father, due to the fact he was homophobic and utterly trash. His mother picked up after a few rings, "Noen- where are you baby?"

"Hi Mrs. Eubanks, sorry it's actually Jorge. Uhm- Noen sort of got, hurt? So we're at the ER. We're pretty sure his nose is broken."

"Oh- Oh god. Okay, I'll be right on the way, text me the address? Thank you sweetheart. Bye"

I heard the call hang up as I said bye, then returned the phone to Noen. Benji explained the situation to the nurse at the desk and got Noen a bracelet. We all sat down, and then a few minutes later Noen was taken in by a doctor.

I tapped my foot as the seconds ticked by. I was only still here because I was waiting for his mother to arrive. I thumbed through a magazine as I listened to the sliding doors open and close every time someone went near or arrived.

I was on the last page of the magazine when I noticed Benji shaking gently out of the corner of my eye. I looked up and watched him do so, although unbeknownst to him.

He was chewing on his lip, and bouncing his leg uncontrollably. Was he okay?
"Benji, are you alright?" I questioned, letting my guard down for a second and touching his knee.

I felt his body tense up as he looked at me and I quickly retreated my hand realizing what I did.

"Uhm- yeah, fine. Hospitals just make me anxious."  Benji breathed out and looked at his lap, fidgeting with his fingers.

"Okay. I'll take you home once Mrs. Eubanks shows. Promise." 

Benji nodded and continued on with his fidgeting while I watched the door. A few people came and left before Mrs. Eubanks came rushing into the waiting room. I waved her over and stood up with Benji.

She engulfed Benji and I in a hug then asked about Noen.

"I don't know much, but the nurse over there could probably help." I stated, and gave her a sympathetic smile.

"Thank you both, so much."

"No problem, we've got to go now, but keep us updated, yes?" I questioned and grabbed her hand and squeezed it one time before she nodded, yes. We waved goodbyes then Benji followed me out to the car once more.

I wanted to get him out of there as fast as I could, I felt bad.

I unlocked the car doors, and slid in smoothly, starting the car as I waited for Benji to get settled.
