rhett's pov
friday

i got link new clothes to wear so he went to put them on. he came out of the bathroom and tried to hide his face from me. "link, whats wrong?" he looked up at me, "im just scared that christy will find out and make fun of me or something.. for being a baby." "yeah but if she does, i will be there link. i wont leave your side." i pulled him in for a hug and we just stood there. "you are not a baby. shes hurting you, what else are you supposed to do?" "man up.." he said as he sobbed into my shoulder. i didnt respond, all i did was hold him. we stood there for a good two minutes. but it was nice. wait no it wasnt, i dont like him like that..

"are you ready?" i asked as link walked down the stairs. "i-i guess so." we walked out the doors and got in my other car. i drove quite fast because i just wanted to get all of this over with. it was a silent drive though. usually link had so much to say but this time he just sat, messing with he finger nails. thats what he did if he got nervous so i always could tell if something was wrong, which was good because i could help him... and right now, he needed it.

we got to the hospital, finally. it felt like an hour drive but it was only twenty minutes. i got out and link followed closely behind like he was my kid, as we walked through the doors. we went to the receptionist and i told her why we were here. "okay, im gonna let them know youre here. take a seat in the waiting room please." she said while she pointed. we took a seat next to each other since there werent that many seats left. all of them were taken, the place was filled. "we are probably gonna sit here for a while. if you want you can go to sleep." i whispered to link. he looked up and showed me his fake, sad smile and put his head on my shoulder. i kissed the top and let him fall asleep. i wanted to talk to him but he needed to sleep. he was exhausted.

christy: where is link, i went to your house and no one was there.
rhett: hes with me.. dont worry about it.
christy: um hes my husband so yeah im gonna ask where he is
rhett: well it doesnt seem like hes your husband.
christy: rhett, tell me where the hell you guys are now or im calling the cops.
rhett: idk what the cops will do but we are at the hospital.. we are just visiting stevie. she got really sick

"i hope she doesnt come" i whispered and sighed to myself. there was someone sitting across from link and was just staring. "are you two like a thing?" the man mouthed to me. i didn't understand so i said, "what?" "are you two together?" he said again but louder this time. "oh, no hes my bestfriend." "awh, you guys would be cute." he laughed and looked away. was that a compliment? do i even like link like this.. no i have a wife, i cant.

about thirty minutes later, a doctor came in and called link's name. mostly everyone in the wating room was gone now. i gently woke him up and told him it was our turn so we got up and followed the doctor. as i got up, i saw a car that looked very familiar. it was christy.. before i saw her get out, we were out of the wating room and walking down the hall. when we got into our room, link sat on the bed and i sat in the chair closest to him. i didnt know what christy would do and i didnt want to know.

"okay so my name is dr. raymond. call me raymond haha. anyway, you guys are here because link hasnt been hungry and hes been throwing up lately. am i correct?" he said pretty fast. "yes, you are correct."

christy's pov

after i was done texting rhett i wanted to know what was going on. i thought he was lying to me for some reason. i didn't believe him at this point because i thought he was protecting link. well of course he is because links his best friend. blah blah blah... we should just get a divorce already, but i would keep the kids and link wouldnt be able to live without me.

time skip

i arrived at the hospital and when i was about to get out, i saw rhett heading into huge doors from the waiting room. "shit."

i got out and went inside to the receptionist and asked where they were. "er, they are in room a129." "okay thank you so much. have a good day." i replied. i walked through the doors and went down the hall. when i got to the room, i heard talking. very faint, soft talking. i put my ear up to the door and listened. -"have to put you on dronabinol.. also you might have to stay here for a few days so we can check on you. lets take your weight first." i heard an unfamilar voice say." i knocked so i didnt ease drop anymore to be respectful if it was actually stevie. *knock knock* a man opened the door. "hi, im here to see rhett and link, are they in there?" "oh yes they are. who are you?" he asked. "im christy, link's wife. can i come in?" "yes of course."

we heard a knock on the door and my heart dropped. "link's wife." is all i heard the her say outside the door. i sat up straight and swallowed trying to get the spit out of my mouth. link looked at me with fear in his eyes. i knew who it was outside of the door, he knew too.
