Albert's POV
I sat up in my bed as Jake stood next to me. Ew, why is she here? I glare at her waiting for an answer. "...Because I wanted to visit you?" Lana steps closer inside the room smiling nervously. "That's a fucking lie." I shake my head at her giving her an agitated look.

I look at Jake sitting down looking at Lana and I. "JAKE!" I shout at him crossing my arms. Jake looks over at me. "What?" I start shaking my head again, "Did you bring this.." I glance at Lana again. "...person?"

Jake gives me a look. "Um excuse me? Of course not Albitch. I love you too much to do that. Wait that sounds weird..." He smiles at me and starts giggling. Ugh, he's such a dork. "Oh wow you're calling me that name again." I roll my eyes and sigh. I look in Lana's and stare at her. "Can you like, stop staring at me?" Lana uncomfortably takes a step away from me.

I see the tears forming in her eyes and she starts breaking down. I sigh and stare at Jake not knowing what to do now. Or even what's happening. "Wait. Where's Russo?" I look around the room for him and he was no where in sight. "I'm gonna find him!" I attempt to get up, but I get a sharp pain in my neck. "OW-!" Jake pats my head and I narrow my eyes at him. I try hitting him aggressively, but he continues to giggle at me.

"Why are you laughing at me?" I hiss at Jake, trying to be more aggressive towards him. "I'm not!" he smiles at me and runs his hand through his hair. I roll my eyes again annoyed. Jake continues to stare at me and he notices my face heating up. He sits on the bed and smiles again at me. "I swear you're fucking an-" The door creaks and I see Russo walk in with a bag of chips in his hands.

"RUSSO WHY DO YOU HAVE CHIPS AGAIN?" Jake gets off my bed and shouts at Russo. "I'm hungry dude. Also I'm nervous." Russo continues to shove a handful of chips in his mouth. I glance at Lana with her head on the table still crying. The door opens again and a nurse walks into the room. "Oh h-" she glances at Lana and immediately runs to her.

"LANA WHAT'S WRONG?" Lana gets up and hugs her still sobbing. I do not understand what the hell is happening. "Kate..." Lana sobs hugging her. "WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING?" Everyone starts staring at me. "Oops too loud?" I laugh leaning back in my bed. Kate walks over to me. "Oh yeah sorry I didn't introduce myself. My name is Kate!"

"Wait, what happened to the other nurse from earlier." Jake suddenly asks interrupting. She turns to him. "I'm not really sure..." Kate turns back to me again. "The reason I know Lana, if you were confused is because, I'm actually her best friend." She smiles glancing at Lana who was still wiping away her tears with tissues.

"Um, so...when do I go home?" I tilt my head looking at Kate. "Oh, let me see." Kate picks up a clipboard from the table in the room and reads it. "You can be discharged from the hospital in 4 days." she reads from the clipboard squinting. "WHAT!" Russo shouts and spills his chips all over the floor. Jake facepalms as he looks at Russo picking up the spilled chips.

Kate continues. "Yeah he still has to recover and he also needs additional therapy after." She nods at us and puts the clipboard down.  "Why does he need additional therapy?" Jake asks taking a step closer to Kate. "Oh, it's because of his mental health state. Anyways, I'll go now. You guys can go and talk to Albert for a little. Bye!" A silence fills the room as Kate opens the door and leaves.

"So um what are we doing about the Lana situation?" Jake looks over at Lana. Another awkward silence fills the room. "Um, guys?" Lana suddenly speaks up. "What?" Jake glares at Lana. "C-can I stay over at your place. S-since I broke up with Alex and I quit my job? I really have no place to stay." Lana looks down at the floor nervously.

Russo and Jake take a deep breath.

"y-"

"No," Jake looks at Russo, "If you said yes, I would've thrown you out the window." Russo slowly backs away from Jake. I look back at Lana with a frown on her face. "Jake..." I mumble as Jake looks back at me. "What?" I scratch the back of my head and take a deep breath. "I think we should let Lana stay at my house while I'm not there..." Everyone starts to stare at me with mixed expressions and emotions.

Lana starts to smile, Russo is confused still eating the chips he dropped on the floor, and Jake...well he looks like he wants to throw me out the window right now. Lana runs over to me and gives me a warm comforting hug. Jake walks over to us and shoves her aside taking a seat at the foot of my bed. Jake sighs. "Albert why?"

"Well, I want to give her a second chance. You don't know if she's changed." I glance at Lana who was smiling at me. "How do you know shes even changed? She's an evil bitch..." Jake tells me as his voice gets more stern. "Just give her another chance." Jake gets off my bed and takes a deep sigh. He takes a glimpse of Lana and looks back at me again.

"Ugh, fine. But I have the right to kick her out if she does...something. "

Jake looks at Russo and Lana nodding. "We should get going now..." I look at Jake with my arms open to him."I wanna hug before you leave!' Jake sighs and chuckles walking over to me. "I swear ya'll would be cute if you were dating." Russo teased laughing with the chips still in his mouth. Close your fucking mouth Russo or I'll choke you.

"I ship it... " I hear Lana mumble something and I glare over at her. She notices me staring at her and she turns away as I hear her trying to hold in a laugh. "What did you say Lana? " Russo asks her still eating his floor chips. I swear why is he so disgusting. "Oh nothing, I was talking to myself..." She giggles walking over to the door with her stuff in her arms. "We should go now so Albert can rest." Jake walks over to the door with his stuff, along with Russo.

Jake's POV

I put my hand on the door handle and start to open the door. I smile at Albert before I leave. The door closes behind me as I turn around. I look at Russo and Lana. "Just follow me." I directed them nodding. We go inside the elevator and walk out when it got to the lobby. We walked in an awkward silence throughout the whole thing. "I'm riding shotgun," Russo says jumping into the passenger seat. I sit in the driver's seat and see Lana quietly sit behind us inside the car.

"So um Jake..." Lana asks me in a mellow voice looking down at the ground. "Yeah?" I turn the key to start the car. "Isn't this Albert's car?" I start to back up the car from the parking spot. "Yeah!" I nod at glance at her through the rear view mirror. "Oh um...okay."

We drive silently and awkwardly on our way back to the house. We finally arrive at the house and get out of the car. I dig into my pocket for the key and open the door. The door creaks open and an empty void fills the house. I turn on the lights. It doesn't feel the same without Albert here. We walk upstairs to the living room.

"So Lana, temporarily you can sleep on the sofa." I tell her as I take off my hoodie, throwing it on the couch. "Wow thanks for putting your shit on her Jake." Lana gives me a fake smile and walks over to me. "Also exactly where do I put my stuff?" I raise an eyebrow at her. "I don't really care." I watch as Lana throws her stuff onto the couch.

"Is there any food?" Russo whines as he lays on the floor. "Yeah, but it's only for myself and other guests." I get some pizza from the fridge and microwave it. "Anyways you're leaving tomorrow right?" I glance behind me and look at Russo.

"Yup."
