*** “What the fuck are you doing here?” JC said standing up. “She’s my friend JC!” Justin said. “I don’t fucking care, if you don’t leave Justin...” JC started to get in Justin’s face. “If I don't leave then what?” Justin asked. “I’ll kill you!” JC threatened. “Oh will you?” Justin asked. JC’s fist flew into Justin’s nose sending Justin to the floor. Justin scurried to get up to hit JC back but JC hit him in the stomache sending Justin back to the floor. “JC STOP!!!” Lance said taking a hold of JC’s arms. “Yeah quit it!” Liberty said, “Y’all are supposed to be best friends!” “That’s the problem! My best friend betrayed me!” JC said whiping the tear off his cheek. “JC I didn’t want to. I have no good reason why I did what I did but, I am very sorry!” Justin said. “You know what Justin I’m not ready to talk to you about this! I’m not ready to look at you! You are the last person I want to see right now. You can stay here but I swear to God if you fucking talk to me I will beat the shit out of you.” JC turning and walking back to his seat before Justin could answer. “What’s her condition?” Justin asked Liberty. “She’s ill, and stressed.” Liberty said. “Is she ok?” Justin asked. “We’re not sure yet.” Liberty said. “Alright.” Justin said sitting down on the table next to Lance. “Has anyone called her mom?” Lance asked. “No, I will.” JC said. JC stood up and walked to the payphone. He started to dial numbers. The three watched as JC stood at the phone tapping his foot. “LisaAnne.....” JC asked. “hi, how are you.....” “Fine.....” “Well that’s what I’m calling about....” “No she’s alive.....” “She’s sick....” “The hospital.....” “No.....” “Five......” “I love you too....” “bye.....” “You tell LisaAnne I love you?” Liberty giggled a little. “Yes, I’m very close to her family.” JC said glaring at Justin who was looking at his car keys. There was a couple knocks at the door and in came Joey, Tierney, Chris, and Julz. Julien sat down and closed her eyes. Joey walked over to JC and wrapped his arms around him tightly. “She’ll be okay!” Joey re-assured his friend. “I know.” JC smiled. The doctor walked in and everyone looked up, “Wow, this population grew, she’ll be happy to know so many people are here for her.” “Thanks doc. What’s up?” Chris asked. “Well she’s awake.” The doctor said as JC and Justin shot up from where they were sitting. “Sit down!” JC demanded. Justin glared at JC and sat back down as the doctor continued, “Only one at a time please.” *** JC sat next to Tiffany, “hi.” “Hi.” she said softly. “How are you?” He asked. “Better.” Tiffany answered. “Tiffany, I....” JC started. “JC, let me.” Tiffany said, “I have been thinking and there are so many things between us that need major work. You are not all to fault. I am the main one to blame. I don’t want to break up with you but I don't know if I can promice to be loyal to you.” “I agree.” JC said looking at his hands. “What?” Tiffany said. “I think we should see other people but still see each other.” JC said. “Like the end of the day we end up together.” Tiffany said. “Yes.” JC agreeed, “No sex!” “Uh...” Tiffany said. “NONE!” JC said. “Okay!” Tiffany said throwing her hands up. “I love you.” He said giving her a long passionate kiss. When they broke away she smiled and said, “I love you too.” JC stood up and walked out of the room. He walked into the waiting room full of apprehensive people, “Justin.” JC said. “Yes?” Justin said looking up to his friend. “Go.” He said. Justin stood up and walked towards the door that led to Tiffany’s room but he was stopped by JC. JC looked at him for a minute then hugged him. Justin confused didn’t say anything he just gave JC a warm smile then walked on. Justin walked into the room where Tiffany was flipping through the channels. “Hey.” Justin said. “Hi.” Tiffany said shutting off the TV and putting the remote down. “You okay?” Justin asked. “Yes.” She answered. “I hate to think I did this to you.” Justin said. “You didn’t. I did.” Tiffany said watching Justin walk over to her bed. “I’m sorry about earlier.” Justin said. “Justin.” Tiffany started, “It’s okay.” “Tiffany, thank you.” Justin said.
