The next day, the group of friends met up at the bus stop to then walk up to the hospital to visit their friend Luke. Unfortunately, however, the walk to the hospital was anything but pleasant for the group.
"I wonder how Luke is doing," stated Levy, looking at his friends. "Well, we'll find out soon, won't we? Isn't that the fucking reason we're off to the hospital anyways?" Derick replied, earning himself a glare from Tom. Aidan rolls his eyes at them, continuing to walk in front. Mona lagged behind with Levy, who was trying to cheer her up. She still felt kind of bad for what happened. Tom wasn't speaking to her, Luke was kind of... half-half, Derick was making fun of her and a bunch of other things. Levy nudges her shoulder, "Don't worry, Luke couldn't hold a grudge for anything."
That didn't make her feel any better. She knew that Levy was just trying to make her feel better, but how much better can you feel when you put your friend in the hospital? Mona shrugs her shoulders, hearing Kendall shouting their names through his parka. As they turn the corner, Tom shakes his head as he chuckles softly, "I knew that we shouldn't have stuck around you guys, bad things always happen when we're around your group." Aidan scowls back, pulling Tom's jacket, "Hey, back off! It's not like we can choose for everything to get fucked up!"
Tom rotates so that he's facing them and shouts, pointing his finger at Mona, "I wouldn't have to watch my boyfriend get injected with huge-ass needles if it wasn't for this person here. I swear to fucking God, sometimes I wonder why I even try to tolerate you?" He stomps off, allowing the rest of them to stand there in silence. Derick, Aidan, Kendall and Levy share the same look. Mixed of confusion, disgust and hurt. They remained quiet.
"I'm gonna' go home. Tell Luke that I said 'get well soon'."
Mona is seen walking away, astonishing the others. Levy goes to speak up, although Derick pulls his back. "C'mon, we can't waste time, dude. Let's go." Aidan says.
10 Minutes Later . . .
"Luke!" They all cheer upon seeing Tom and Luke in the same room. Derick comes up and punches his shoulder, harshly. Luke groans in pain, "Ah, shit, Derick..." Tom, upon seeing this, nudges Derick's shoulder as if to stop him. Derick scoffs, "Hey, I was just saying 'hey'." Everybody shakes their head at him.
Aidan, sitting in the chair in the corner, takes out his phone to call Mona when Levy calls him over. As Aidan stands beside Levy and Kendall, Derick is already talking about how Jake was trying to get with Lucy Valmer earlier that day and how she totally demolished him by slapping his face so hard that he wore his hoodie for the rest of the day. Luke begins to chuckle, leaning his head back and smiling widely. Levy rubs the back of his neck, muttering out for a second, "Are-Are you and Mona alright, Luke? She wasn't too keen on coming over today."
Tom begins to say, "She probably didn't want to see him like this. Nobody would." Luke gives off a small smile, saying back, "What? No, I'm alright. The doctor said that I'd be back and at it by the end of the month." Derick leans his chin in his hands, nearly lying on the bed as well. He scoffs, "I don't know why you're so fucking excited, dude. It's only the 12th today." Luke grips Tom's hand, still smiling. As Luke coughs harshly into his hand and Tom pats his back, Levy shakes his head. He responds, "I don't... I mean, Mona isn't..." His muttering and short breaks went on for a while. All that time, Luke and Aidan were just talking about homework. Levy just kept going with his stuttering that Derick had to "You made her upset, Tom." Is all Derick said. Tom raises both his brows. "What do you mean I did?"
"You fucking called her out on the street!" Aidan shouts at him, feeling his rage fall out of line. "You made her upset, goddammit!"
Tom put his hands up in defense. "I didn't mean to!"
"Yeah, yeah okay! Just..." Derick sighed and looked at Tom. "Just watch your f-fucking words next time!"
Tom just sighed and looked at Luke, whom was still coughing harshly. He really didn't mean to make anyone upset. He felt bad about it, and thought about whether or not he should apologize.
