Seriously. How did I not know that Three Days was by Shingeki? hOW? I'm dedicating this book to like two people? Mostly Pizza Mon tho.... The other person probably doesn't know this exists.

Chapter 4: Tears (aye. You're going to hate me for this, Pizza Mon. And just sayin... This is worse than anything right you did)

Nico shifted uncomfortably. The hospital bed was becoming flat and hard, and the pillow was really.... floppy. Plus, he hadn't changed his clothes in the past week. Yep. He had been in the hospital for a week.

Two people had been moved into his room; a teenage boy with Raven black hair and another with brown hair. Recently, a girl had been coming to visit the brown haired boy.

She told Nico not to tell him she had been there, and she was only there because she couldn't embarrass herself when he was in a coma.

That's what scared Nico.

Pretty much all of the patients had the same sickness. So, it was the sickness that caused the black haired boy to become blind. It was the sickness that had put the brown haired boy in a coma.

Will had said everyone was affected differently; but Nico didn't think it could be this bad. What worried him most, was the fact that he had been struggling to hear the things Will was telling him.

Will obviously noticed it to, for he knew to stand in Nico's right side. When he was on his left, he could barely hear what he was saying.

Will entered the hospital room, frowning and looking exhausted.

"How many?" Nico asked, referring to the amount of patients he had lost.

"Four." Will said quietly.

Nico kept a straight face. Will was now checking things off on his clipboard, and tapping his foot.

"You look stressed." Nico noticed.

"Do I really?" Will said shortly.

"Someone's grumpy." Nico scowled.

Will gritted his teeth. "Has Larissa given you your meds yet today?"

"No, your girlfriend has not given me my medication."

"She's not my girlfriend." Will said slowly.

"That's really unfortunate. She's obviously pregnant." Nico said lewdly. (I told you.)

Will's head snapped up. "What?"

"You didn't know?" Nico grinned. "She's been venting."

Will stared at Nico, and he felt uncomfortable. "You're lying."

"I am not! Just ask her. Or maybe pay more attention to her mood swings-"

"I've been avoiding her, so I wouldn't know."

"Oh. No wonder she thinks you're not going to help her."

Will's heart hammered in his chest, and his pen suddenly felt heavy. He dropped it. His knees were shaking and Nico suddenly looked alarmed.

"No." Will muttered. "No."

"Will-?"

"No. No. No. No. . ."

To say the least, Will was panicking. When Will started shaking, Nico hopped off of the table. He grabbed Will's shoulders to keep him upright.

Will muttered something and Nico couldn't stop him from sibling to the ground. "Will-!"

Nico's sudden yelp caught the attention of one of the nurses. She turned her head, her fiery red hair flying over her shoulders. When she saw Nico standing there, completely bewildered, she hurried into the room.

"What happened, Nico?" The nurse asked.

"I did it."

"You idiot!" The nurse smacked him upside the head.

"Sorry." Nico grumbled.

When Will woke up, Nico was standing next to his bed with his arms crossed. Everything that had happened came back and it felt as though he had been slapped.

Will's throat hurt and his mouth was sore. Nico frowned at him. "You had a panic attack."

Will was silent. His eyes burned, but he refused to cry while Nico was standing next to him. He couldn't believe he had let himself do something so stupid just because it felt good.

That's how hormonal he was. He was so easily persuaded, too. Will could barely ever think for himself when it came to liking someone. Just like when he was in eleventh grade; there was a girl name Cheyenne. She had curly brown hair and misty blue eyes. Will had just started driving.

They went and hung out, and while Will was driving home, he had distracted himself with her face.

The last thing he heard before the truck collided with them was Cheyenne's scream.

Will was told that the impact had caused the airbags to malfunction and the one in her side exploded. The collision with her head had caused her skull to make contact with her brain rather forcefully.

She was now in the hospital full time, with trauma, memory loss, and brain issues.

He couldn't think straight when he liked someone. It was just who he was. He blamed himself, because there was no one else to blame.

Forgetting that Nico was in the room, he let the hot tears leave his eyes. They burned a trail down his cheeks. The aching in his chest was overwhelming, and the silent crying turned into sobs.

Everything was overwhelming.

Two children had died that day. And then their parents as well. The children were six and four. The parents were both twenty seven.

He found out he, a homosexual idiot, had gotten a female pregnant. He had had a panic attack. He had lost control.

The last time he had had a panic attack was two years ago. He thought he had it under control, but he obviously didn't.

"Will." Nico murmured. "That was terrifying for me."

"Why?" Will managed.

"Because I was messing with you. Y-you didn't actually get her pregnant-"

"Are you fucking kidding me?" Will snapped.

Nico flinched. "It was a prank planned by Larissa. She wanted to get back at you for avoiding her."

"You want to know why I was avoiding her?" Will growled. Before Nico could respond, Will snapped. "Because I'm a damn homosexual who slept with a woman!"

Nico stared at him for a moment, eyeing the angry tears that now fell down his face.

"Why?"

"Because I didn't know! I didn't know I wanted to fuck the same gender! I didn't know my entire love life was wrong! I didn't know that I would make a choice that my Christian mother would be mad about! I didn't know I was about to get the most disapproving look from my father!"

Nico stared at him. Will was breathing heavily now, and his eyes portrayed nothing but regret. His stressed face betrayed his defiant yelling.

"Will-"

"I-I want to be alone." He said pointedly.

Nico frowned and left the room. The red haired nurse was staring at him; she had obviously heard Will yelling. If she had heard him, so would everyone else outside of his room.

And then the whole hospital would know. And Larissa was part of the hospital.
