That One Time

  Between Book 2 and 3.

   Geno is really really sick. He's been in the hospital for almost two months. That's longer than I remember. Granted the last time I remember he was there for two weeks and I was 7. I was 18 now.

   He might not make it. It wasnt a very good time for us. Asy was the only one taking care of Ma's house. Error and I had moved out. I was in college.

   The doctors were working themselves to the bone trying to help him. He hadn't woke up in days. He might not wake up.

   Error wasn't doing too hot about this. He wasn't doing good at work. His boss was pushing him but he just couldn't do it.

   I didn't know what to feel. Fear of course. I didn't want to lose Geno. Worry. For Ma and Error. Anger. At who?

   I heard the door open and close. Error must be home from the hospital.  "Fresh..?"

   I looked up from my essay. "What?"

   "You're crying." Error seemed to be in a good mood... if anything worried.

   I blinked confused. After touching my face I realized it was wet. My essay page had tears on it. "Oh..." I wiped at my eyes lightly.

   "Are you alright?" Error pulled a chair out to sit down.

   I sighed and shook my head. "I dunno." I wiped under my sockets again.

   "Wanna know what'll make you feel better?" Error hummed.

   "What?" I asked pushing my essay away. I could work later.

   "I came back because you weren't answering yor phone. You know how the doctors were using a new medicine? " He asked grabbing an apple.

   "Yes..?" I raised a brow lightly.

   "It worked. Geno was out of bed, walking." Error smiled.

   I blinked.. What? I snatched my phone and saw I had unread messages from Error, Ma, and Asy. Thy all said something like this.

   'He's awake. And hes better.'

   My sould instantly felt lighter.
