Fresh VS Error

   Set Post Book 3 but Pre Jessie.

   "Geno is in the hospital..." Error spoke up doing lunch.
   "He is?" I looked up from my food. " Who's watching Morang?"
   Error flinched. "That's your first question!? About the kid!?"
   I flinched back immediately. Uh oh. I remember that tone. I hadn't heard it much since before... "Error its a valid question.."
   "Well yes but not your first question! You should ask how Geno is doing? Ask if hes okay? Ask if he's gonna make it out alive? Ask about him not Morang!" Error hissed between his teeth.
   "Error that's not what I mean! I just know that Geno would want to make sure Morang is okay while he's sick!" I responded raising my voice to match his.
   My hands were shaking. Lunch was long forgotten.
   "You don't know anything about him! You were gone while we grew up!" Error snapped. His eyes filled with error signs.
   I tensed up. "Error that isn't fair and you  know it!"
   "But it's the truth! You were gone! You do t know shit about Geno! You don't know shit about me!" Error slammed his hands on fhe table. "You don't know shit about MY family! Now if you excuse me im going to see MY brother!" Error snapped and turned on his heels. Moments later the door slammed behind him.
   I was stunned. I felt tears drip down my face. Error hadn't yelled at me since we were kids. I was trembling. He was never angry at me. What do I do now? How mad is he? Is he... going to kick me out?
   I numbly pushed away from the table and stumbled to the couch. I sat down. I couldn't think. My breathing came in shallow gasps. Panic coursed through my bones. no. No. NO.
   When I came too there was a wet cloth on my forehead. I was in my bed. I opened my eyes and looked around. It was dark outside. How long was I out?
   "Are you okay...?" The glitchy voice sounder harsher than usual.
   I looked over carefully. "Error? What time is it?" My voice sounded scratchy. My face was still wet with tears.
   "10:30." He responded. "Geno is okay. Hes gonna be in the hospital for a few more days. Morang is with mom."
   "Oh.." I pulled the rag down and went to sit up. "Are you okay? You sound like you've been crying."
   He twitched. "Am I okay!? How could you ask that?! The things I said to you were uncalled for and frankly a dick move. Yet you ask if I'm okay!?"
   I flinched at the loud tone. "Error... I sorta knew you didn't mean it... I panicked for no reason..." I sighed and rubbed under my sockets.
   "You panicked for a valid reason.." He huffed his eyes glitching out. He was tense and his breathing hitched.
   I stepped out of bed and headed over. I wrapped my arms around him. Okay.. what is it he usually says when im spiralling? "Error... Hey... You're stressed. You work two jobs. Geno was in the hospital. I asked something weird and you flipped out..."
   He paused and clutched onto my night shirt. "I'm sorry..." He whispered tears wetting my shirt.
   I held onto his shirt tight. "I know..." I know....
