"What kind of gay freaks are you? Fuck you, Kleinman! And Hansen? You're sick for even coming up with this joke. Have fun screwing each other." Just like that, Connor walked off. Jared and Evan just watched him, speechless.
Connor walked across the road, his head down.
Then the car came.
"Connor!" Both of them panicked, understandably. Evan snuck a glance at his wrist. The purple flower had bloomed all the way.

Jared and Evan didn't notice the worst part of the situation until they were in the hospital room with Connor two days later. Evan was holding Connor's unconscious hand while Jared talked. Evan stared down at his hand, not listening.
