*Last wast 27, I'm not perfect ok*
Ryan
It's been pretty hard these past couple of
days without Troy. When he was busy with Addison at least I could
still get a hold of him every now and then, and I knew he was
okay.
I don't know what goes on behind the doors of the hospital
but I hope he's okay.
The school called my mom, who called me, who called the school. I
told them that Addison and I may not be present for a few days
for emergencies. The only reason they let it slid is because my
aunt works in the attendence office.
Our work was brought in Wednesday night. Addison and I finished
it in one night the Cafeteria for visitors. It's all we had
to do in that place.
Her and I got pretty close in those couple of days.
"Ryan, Addison, Troy is ready for visitors now. If you would
follow me."
Addison and I looked at each other, both a little nervous, both
exhausted.
The nurse knocked on the door and I heard his fraile voice
"Yeah"
I walked in first, Troy stood up slowly and hugged me, and
continued to hug me.
At least until he noticed Addison. His grip loosened and I could
feel him pull away, stepping to my side then freezing where he
was.
"Tro-" She started to say, she was happy.
But he cut her off "You shouldn't be here. In fact you
need to go."
I spun around and mouthed that it was okay, and not to
worry.
At that moment she looked defeated. And she sulked back to the
waiting room. I knew she wouldn't leave.
"Why'd you kick her out"
"Why did she come."
"She cares about you Troy. Is that bad?" I was getting
agitated.
Though I couldn't get to mad, he was under lots of stress
"I'm not good enough for her Ryan. I never will be. I
wrote these down for Addison. Give them to her. And don't
read them"
I nodded, we sat down.
"Whats going on buddy, how are you doing?" I asked
"Better I guess. I've been sitting... talking... mostly
sitting. Thinking. They're changing my medicine to see whats
best so they need to moniter me. And you know how fun that is?
It's like going to Six Flags. But better"
I laughed because it was good to see him joking around.
"Does my dad even know I'm here?"
I bit my tongue. I hadn't even told his dad, and his dad
never called. "Don't worry about that guy Troy"
"Ryan tell me. You can't hide upsetting things from me
forever"
"Aw why not?" We both laughed, I shook my head, "I
don't think so bro'."
He got angry, clenching his fists and punching under the table,
hitting the air.
"It'll be okay."
"What if it isn't Ryan?"
"It will be"
