What if? (A deh and heathers story)

Chp.6 JD's Room

I meant to not tell the POV

Dear diary,

It has been a week since the 'accident.' School is out because of the explosion, so I'm now spending all my time at the hospital with JD and at the 7/11 with the kid who I now know as Evan. Evan is a nice kid I guess. We both learned that we go to the same school. Each other's relationship status, he has a crush on a girl named Zoe. Evan also didn't have any real friends so I offered to be his friend, he accepted. Evan's mom worked here so he stayed around here as well. It was nice having someone to talk to. I didn't open up much about JD, just the basic stuff like his name, age, favorite color, etc.
On that topic, JD has been fighting... The doctors have officially announced that he was in a coma. They expect him to wake up, the catch is they don't know when. I hate myself because of that, thinking it's all my fault. I know it isn't, but I could've gotten the bomb farther away or convince JD to unarm it, something. Maybe I deserve to end up in a worse state than JD. A world where I'm dead, he's alive and conscious. At the moment, I'm walking to the hospital with Evan from our trip to the 7/11. We're almost at the entrance.

I snap my diary shut. "Hey Evan, do you want to come into JD's room when we get back?" Evan has never been in JD's room, but he was moved into a different unit in the hospital for friends to come in, so Evan can come in without being family or close friends.

"Um sure, only if-" Evan cut himself off almost like he was wanted to say something, but decided not to. "Oh, um, I-I have to write my letters to my therapist! Never mind, yup!" Evan scrambled to say.

I learned he has social anxiety and a stutter. It's not as bad as how they portray stuttering in movies and stuff. Like in Evan's case, you don't stutter every sentence. Social anxiety is bad at the least, and from what Evan has said it's dreadful.

I push the rotating door, signaling Evan to follow me.

—————

I plop open the door open. Evan takes one look around and freezes, he gives me a glance asking if he could proceed, I nod agreeing.

"Hi, um, J-JD."

God, you could practically feel the awkwardness radiating off of him. "A-and I'm Veronica's friend?" Evan once again looked over at wondering if he said the right words. He took another small step towards the cot.

"JD, I don't know you t-th-that much, but when I get small details about you Veronica seems very happy. So I-I think you're a good person." He was now standing over the adjustable bed, I could see his hand slightly twitching. Great, I made him nervous. This is going to be super awkward, isn't it?

"Anyways JD I think we should go now, hope you wake up soon!" I rambled out of impulse. Welp, that's one way of getting Evan out of a hospital room.

Evan jumped while taking the signal to leave, scurrying out.

Hiiiii, first of sorry this chapter was short my family took us on vacation for fall break so I didn't have much time to write. I'm also sorry this is short and I had a long time to write but, I decided to cut it off here so you get a chapter. I was still active on commenting etc tho so vacation wasn't that much of an excuse.

Anyways hope you enjoyed!!!💖💜💙
