Fez walked in to see that Kelso had finally sat down in Eric's chair. His friend looked up, and the foreigner could tell that tears had been shed. Fez stood ackwardly at the door, awaiting while Kelso got up and left.
Once the door was closed, he walked towards the body, curiousity once again getting the better of him. "You are such a good friend, Hyde." His accent was thick. "You have upsetted me many times, but you are still my friend."
He looked down at the banadages around Hyde's bare waist. "So much blood..." Fez whispered.
He cleared his throat and spoke up"Kelso thinks it is his fault, Jackie thinks it is hers. But I believe it is mine." Fez lowered his eyes and played with the hem of the hospital blanket. "It is that damn chocolate that has put a curse on me! You told me that eating the 'Devil's chocolate cake' would not haunt me. But it did! That damn chocolate...and now I am a candy crazed maniac"
Fez's voice was quiet. "If I had not wanted those gummy worms you would not have been shot at...I-I am sorry, my friend."
He turned to leave, feeling as though he had lifted a load off his chest, but in return had gained a ton. Fez placed his hand on the handle, about to turn the nob.
"Hey Fez..." the voice was weak and tired, but it was enough to freeze in his spot. "Hold strong, man."
"Hyde?" The foreigner turned around and was quickly was at the bed side again. But Hyde's brief consciousness was just that, brief. And he'd already been lost to the world of oblivious unconsciousness again by the time Fez was next to him.
