lukas wasn't back until morning.

he wasn't back at all.

sure, it perplexed leon, but he had simply brushed it off, muttering to himself that lukas could very well care for himself.

well, that was before he received a string of texts later that day.

from [ unknown ] : Is this Leon?

to [ unknown ] : who is this??

from [ unknown ] : Tino.

to [ tino?? ] : oh

to [ tino?? ] : who??

from [ tino?? ] : Remember?

from [ tino?? ] : When you first entered the apartment Lukas was there with two other people?

from [ tino?? ] : I was the one leaning on the wall?

to [ tino?? ] : ooh, yeah I remember you

leon could feel himself gently nip his lower lip, remembering the awfully uncomfortable incident he had towards the beginning of the school year.

to [ tino ] : anyways, what's up?

from [ tino ] : Oh, well...

from [ tino ] : I'm not sure just...

to [ tino ] : what??

from [ tino ] : Lukas won't be rooming with you anymore.

to [ tino ] : what????

from [ tino ] : At least not for a while.

from [ tino ] : Look, I don't know...

from [ tino ] : I have to go now.

to [ tino ] : wait wtf??

to [ tino ] : you texted me first????

to [ tino ] : you can't just leave????

to [ tino ] : hello??

to [ tino ] : HELLO????

no response.

to [ emil ] : emil

to [ emil ] : what's going on??

to [ emil ] : why isn't lukas rooming with me??

to [ emil ] : HELLO,???

to [ emil ] : WHY ISNT ANYWAY RESPONDING YO ME????????

to [ emil ] : hey, look

to [ emil ] : whatever's happening, it's not cool.

to [ emil ] : take your time to answer, but please

to [ emil ] : okay, bye.

once leon applied pressure to the top button, he could feel himself shaking. the teen slipped the device upon the dresser, quickly glancing over lukas's empty side of the room. he sat down upon his bed, quietly toying with his fingers. with a quiet sigh leon finally settled down, pulling the covers over his head. perhaps this was all just an alternate reality, yet why did it feel so real?

when he had awoken night had fallen. leon quickly grabbed his phone, looking for the time, what he got quickly pulled him off track.

from [ emil ] : ( location )

to [ emil ] : what??

to [ emil ] : emil?? hello??

hesitantly, leon pressed his thumb upon the small location sign.

what came up made his heart skip a beat. the small red marker hovered over a building, it's name quite obvious.

the hospital.
