"Hey shay."

"Wow. What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing."

"Millie? babe?"

"Hmm?"

"Stop lying."

"It's nothing, really."

"What did that asshole say to you?"

"What asshole?"

"You know, Vincent."

"It's not him."

"You don't cry because you want to."

"Well, maybe I may have been having some other issues in my life that I don't want you to about."

"I'm your best friend."

"Thanks for reminding me?"

"Ever since we were 3."

"And?"

"And I know when you're lying. It's definitely him."

"It's not!"

"Then tell me what's troubling you?"

"Okay. Okay! It is him!"

"Oh darling are you worried that he might not come alive out of the surgery because I heard it's just a minor one and he's- "

"What?!"

"Oh shit, you didn't know."

"Didn't know what for fuck's sake?"

"Millie I- umm"

"What is it Shay?!! Tell me!"

"Vince- he's umm"

"He's what!"

"He had a minor accident two weeks ago. It's his fourth surgery today. I thought you knew. I'm really sorry darling I shouldn't have told you."

"No you should have told me about it earlier!! For Christ's sake can you take me to the hospital?!"

"Right now?"

"Please!"

"What about our exams?"

"Do you really think I care about the exams right now? Please take me to the hospital."

"Okay. Okay I will. Let's go."

"I hope he's alright."

"He will be. It's Vince after all."

"I know. I swear if anything happens to him-"

"Don't worry Millie. He's going to be just fine."
