"Name?" The big nurse sitting at the front desk with flower print scrubs and big brown hair tied behind her head asked while typing on the keyboard.

"Montgomery," I replied, "..De La Cruz."

She switched her focus to Winston and raised her eyebrows, implying and you?

"Winston Williams."

"And you were here for Molaria Ferlíman, right?"

I nodded my head yes.

"Alrighty," her chair rolled away from her desk as she stood up, "I'll bring you to her if you just follow me," She grabbed her lower back and massaged it with her fingers, "These chairs," she looked back and smiled, "I'm telling you, they'll give you back pain that could last a lifetime."

Winston and I awkwardly grinned at her as if what she was saying to us was relatable.

We strolled down the long hallway full of individual sections with people inside separated by blue curtains along the walls. My hands were tucked in my pocket and Winston walked close by me, far away enough so we didn't look like a couple, but close enough that I could feel his warm and invitefuk energy.

My eyes skimmed the hallway with my ears picking up on a few seconds of chit-chat from every section we walked by. The nurse stopped in front of one of the sections and pulled open the curtain, revealing a serious Molly sitting up on the bed with a bottle of water in her hand and her hair untamed. Elio and Rafaela sat next to her on their phones on opposite sides of the bed. Molly subtly turned her face away and looked down at Rafaela's phone, pretending to be interested in what she was looking at. Elio looked up and gave a small smile.

"Hey, sorry we took so long to get here," Winston apologized and brushed a strand of hair away from his face.

Rafaela itched the top of her head and sighed, "You brought Monty," Rafaela pointed out.

Winston pressed his lips together and pointed at me with his thumb, "Yeah, we're together-"

I nudged him, immediately realizing he just revealed that we had anything to do with each other.

"Came together, we came together," Winston quickly corrected himself, "I picked him up on the way."

I shot a glance at Molly and saw she was offering the same glance back at me but looked away back to Rafaela's phone.

The nurse backed away and slowly closed the curtains as she said, "Well, I'll just leave y'all right to it."

I sat down in the only open seat left, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Molly said passive aggressively.

"Chill out," Rafaela shoved her an arm.

She didn't reply but instead gently leaned back on the seat and looked up at the plain, faded white ceiling.

"Come on, Winston, Lets go get some food and let this bitch cool off," Rafaela approached us.

Winston smiled sincerely, "No it's fine, I'll stay here."

Rafaela pouted, "Aw," She turned to Elio, "wanna come?"

Elio shrugged, "Sure, why not?"

They both exited the room, leaving an empty space and turning the energy in the room from light hearted and playful, to tense and cold.

Everyone remained silent for a minute, no one talked, moved, or looked at each other. I was playing with my fingers and Winston was staring at the ceiling as if counting the tiles.

Molly finally blurted out, "You can't tell anyone...about my arm, what you saw."

I shook my head, "Ok."

"I was talking to Winston, but thank you," she informed.

"Oh, yeah, I won't tell anyone," he answered her.

"But you cant tell anyone about...us, what you saw," I copied.

She shook her head, "I wouldn't do that, I know what it feels like to grow up hiding something from everyone your entire life," she pulled up her sleeve and displayed her inner arm, "I'm fucked up."

I grinned, "Tell me about it."

She smiled to herself and then chuckled, "So you two are gay for each other then."

Winston smirked at her with no reply and put a hand over mine.

The moment he touched me, in front of Molly, was the first time I had expressed love for another boy in public. I'll remember the way I feel in this moment for the rest of my life, no judgement from anyone.

"What happened to you anyways?" I asked her.

She shrugged, "You'll have to ask Rafaela and Elio," she replied, "The last thing I remember is walking into her house and then it skips straight to waking up in the hospital bed...they said I just had low blood sugar count and that I was dehydrated, I'm good to go now though, I feel fine."

I nodded slowly, "cool."

"Not really," Molly shrugged.

I smiled widely.

Rafaela opened the curtains quickly and sighed, "They're serving literal shit in the cafeteria, can we just go to Victoria's?"

Winston sighed and looked at me knowing we were both just there hours ago, "sure."

I shrugged meaning whatever.

"I need to checkout first though or- whatever it is that they need to do so I can leave," Molly groaned and rolled her eyes, taking a sip of water from the half empty water bottle.

"Do you wanna all go together?" Rafaela asked us, "My car fits all of us."

Winston replied for me as if he was reading my mind, "Me and Monty can go in my car, together."
