"Yes, everything's fine. Seth asked to see me and I need to go right away, I'm sorry, I'll come back as soon as I'm done okay?" I lean forward to kiss his lips when I zip up my pants, taking a minute longer than I should've. He smiles and licks his lips after pulling away, still caressing my arms. "Let me drive you, it's late." he insists.
"No, that's okay. I have my keys, I'm just gonna walk to my house and get it. Don't worry about me, I'll call you when I get there." I promise.
"Please call me when you get your car, I don't wanna stay up worrying." he kisses my forehead, bringing his arms to his side. "I will, I promise." I nod my head, looking at him one last time before exiting the door to his room. It's like I already miss him the moment I turn my face away from him. Is that crazy or am I just questioning everything too much?
It takes me minutes to reach my house and start the engines of my car, starting my ride to the hospital for Seth. I think I have an idea exactly what this might be about, and I'm dying to find out.
Fifteen minutes and a ten minute long conversation about various music genres with Ashton, I finally pull up to the parking of the hospital. I end the call with him and rush my way inside and up the elevator to his section. I run to the front office, knowing that nice nurse is the one who called me earlier.
"Hello, I'm here for Seth Lockwood?" I inquire.
"Oh yes, he's been waiting for you. Do you know your way, dear?" she smiles.
"Yes, thank you." I smile, tapping my hand on the counter before I run to his room, making as little noise as possible with my shoes jumping around the hallway at this time of night.
When I come to his room door, I take a second to breathe in and out a few times. See, this is exactly the reason why I don't run. I fucking hate running.
I open the door to see an anxious Seth sitting up. His hair looks messy and his eyes puffier than the last time I've seen him. When he sees me enter the room, shutting the door behind me, his eyes open wide and his lips begin to move. "Liz!" he says worriedly. "I dreamt about it," he breathes in. "and, it was all there but he-" he stops himself, taking in a few more breaths. I stand beside him, running my hands across his back in order to calm him down.
"Hey, it's just me, it'll be okay. Tell me what you dreamt about, but take a deep breath first." I try to stay as calm as I can, when all I want is to cry because this isn't the Seth I see very often. He does as I say, taking a deep breath and looking back at my face to start explaining.
"I lied to you when I said I didn't want to tell you. Truth is, I couldn't-" he sighs. "I couldn't remember properly who it was. The guy that came to the hospital a while ago, the one I told you about?" he worries. "He was there, I fucking saw him there, but something just doesn't quite sum up. I'm not sure, and I fucking hate myself for forgetting--" he starts to let his tears down, shaking in his place. I immediately take his head into my arms, hugging him tightly as I fight my own waterworks from playing a show.
"Seth," I whisper in his hair. "please tell me who you saw. I won't tell mom and dad, I just need to know. I can't see you like this. I at least deserve a name, just a name." I beg.
"Ashton, Ashton Irwin."
