A/N: Finally an update! GoGo and Honey have some stuff to hash out. Thank you for sticking with this story! Please leave a review- they inspire me to keep writing.
"Why didn't you tell me?" GoGo asked, pacing up and down the lab space. "Why didn't you TELL me?"
"I couldn't. I wasn't allowed to." Honey said. "I wanted to tell you, I almost did several times but Wasabi wouldn't let me."
"Since when do you let Wasabi tell you what to do?" GoGo whirled, pacing again.
"I wasn't allowed to tell you." Honey repeated, "I'm sorry. Tadashi- something is wrong with him. He wouldn't let us tell you."
"And what exactly could he have done to you, Honey?" GoGo asked, "I just saw the condition he's in. He couldn't have done anything to you if you had just told me. If something is wrong with me, I would have been there. I could have helped you."
"He didn't listen to anybody." Honey told her. "I-I thought it would be best not to break his trust. And then I saw what it was doing to everybody, and I went to tell him. That was two days ago. I had been avoiding him because I couldn't stand being around him and not telling you and Hiro. And when you told me that you were leaving? I went to tell him. He was at PT, and Wasabi was in his room. I lost it, and I was yelling at him and I said things that I probably shouldn't have about Tadashi. He was right there in the door, and after that I left. I called Wasabi, but he wouldn't answer. I hadn't heard from either of them until we came here today."
"I still don't see why you couldn't have just- why?" GoGo asked, turning to Honey with tears in her eyes. "Why didn't you just tell me?"
"I couldn't. It's a rule-for doctors- the patient confidentiality." Honey whispered, "I wanted you to know, but Tadashi was in such a bad state. I didn't want to break his trust. He was already so upset about everything and it just felt wrong to do anything else to him."
"Right." GoGo said, "Right."
"Please, forgive me, GoGo." Honey said, wiping her eyes. "It was an impossible choice. I wanted to tell you and Hiro."
"I understand." GoGo said, dropping down on top of her desk. "I understand, I think. You were trying to look out for Tadashi. I get that. I'm trying to get that.I just need some time."
"Will you stay?" Honey asked, her hand on the door handle. "Will you stay here, now that he's back, or will you still transfer?"
"I don't know yet." GoGo said, not looking up. "It's still not the same here. I haven't talked to Tadashi yet, but if he didn't want me to know that he was even alive, he's not the same."
"We have to fight for him." Honey said, "The Tadashi we know and love is still in there. We can't just let him go. We have to fight and try to bring him back out. I know we can do it."
"Yeah?" GoGo sighed. "I hope you can do that, Honey. I'm just not sure if I can."
"What do you mean?" Honey asked, leaning against the door. "He loves you so much. That's got to mean something. He decided to tell you that he was alive because you were thinking of leaving."
"Does he really love me, Honey?" The question GoGo threw at her did not want an answer. "If you love somebody, do you let them live in grief? Do you wait until they are a shell of who they were before you take action, all because you don't know who you are anymore? It was a trauma, I get that. And things change, I understand that. But if Tadashi changed so much that he didn't care enough about me, didn't care enough about his baby brother to speak up before it was too late, then I don't want to know that Tadashi. It's going to take me long enough to forgive you, but I don't know if I can look him in the eyes. He put Hiro and me through hell, Honey. Maybe he didn't mean to, but if he had just stopped thinking about himself for a second-" Tears were rolling down the normally stoic girl's face. "I loved him so much." GoGo said, "And he didn't believe in me enough to tell me that he was alive."
