Depressed emo teen drives anxiety-ridden tree-loving teen to the hospital FT. worried mother ™
Also i have no idea how hospitals work. Nor the human body.
Connor was currently driving to the closest hospital he could think of. Was he breaking the speed limit? Probably. But he always broke the speed limit so it didn't matter. What did matter was the blonde sitting in the passenger seat. The blonde that has a severely broken arm. The blonde that needs to get to a hospital as soon as possible. The blonde that also happened to be the boy Connor had been crushing on since middle school.
The blonde that was none other than Evan Hansen.
Evan Hansen. The boy who had fallen from a tree and broken his arm just about 30 minutes prior.
The shock from when Evan first hit the ground was completely gone now and he could feel everything. Specifically the immense pain in his left arm. At least that was his non-dominant hand. Didn't change the fact that it hurts. Heck, he could barely move his arm without having a shock of pain go through his entire body.
It was awful. He didn't want to move. He just wanted to lay still and not have to do anything. Sadly his wishes were not granted as he felt the car start to slow down, turning and maneuvering until it came to a complete stop. Evan looked at the window to see where they were. A hospital, or more specifically, the hospital his mom works at. 'This will be fun' he thought to himself.
Connor took a deep breath and turned to face Evan, "Hey Hansen, how do you feel?"
"Uhh, n-not good."
"Ok...do you think you can walk?"
"M-maybe? I d-don't know t-though...its mainly m-my arm t-that hurts, s-so I'm n-not sure..."
"Alright..." Connor got out of the car and walked over to Evan's side and opened the door, "Here, ill help you get out of the car, try not to move your left arm okay?"
"O-okay."
Connor held out his hand, and Evan grabbed onto it with his right arm, getting a sense of deja vu. Connor reached in and grabbed onto Evan's shoulder to pull him out of the car, so he wouldn't have to put pressure on his left arm. Connor managed to successfully get Evan out of the car.
"Alright, if you need any help just tell me ok?"
"o-okay"
The two boys set off towards the hospital entrance. Evan stumbled a bit on occasion, but Connor always helped him get his balance back. They did that until they eventually reached the entrance. Connor pushed open the door with his elbow, allowing Evan to walk in before letting the door close.
The two walked into the air-conditioned hospital, Evan shivering a bit from the sudden blast of cold air. Both boys noticed that the waiting room for the hospital was significantly larger than the one at the Urgent Care.
"Ok, Evan you go find a chair to sit in, and ill check you in so you can get a cast for your arm or something."
Evan simply nodded and went to go find a chair. Connor made sure Evan had safely sat down before walking up to the front desk.
"Hey there sir, I've got a boy with a severely broken arm." Connor said, slightly slamming his hands on the counter.
"Oh my gosh, okok, we'll get someone on it right away. But first what's your name sir?"
"Connor Murphy and the boy's name is Evan Hansen."
"Alright...wait, Evan Hansen?"
"Uh...yea?"
"How interesting, I think that's the son of one of the nurses here."
"Huh, cool. But may I remind you that he has a broken arm that needs to be cared for immediately?!"
"Right right of course" The man typed something into a computer before saying something into a speaker, he then turned back to Connor "Alright, Please go to room 202 on the 2nd floor"
"Thank you" Connor said before turning around and scanning the room for Evan. Once he spotted the boy, he ran over to him, "C'mon Hansen, the doctor will be ready in a few minutes, but we need to get to room 202"
"Oh uh, ok"
Connor helped Evan get up, before walking to the elevator, cause theres no way Connor's taking Evan up the stairs with a broken arm.
The two of them reached room 202. Connor opened the door to let Evan in, before letting it close. Inside the room stood a figure that looked suspicioulsy like Evan's mom. The figure turned to face them.
"Hello there, im Heidi and im your nurse for toda- wait, Evan?! What are you doing here?"
"H-hi mom..." Evan's face flushed with embarrassment. "I-im here b-because, well umm... you see i-, uh i-..."
Connor, seeing how long Evan would probably take to answer, (and how clearly uncomfortable Evan was) he stepped in, " He broke his arm."
"Hmmm, ok..." Heidi paused, giving Evan just enough time to mouth "thank you" to Connor, "oh and uh, who are you?"
"Connor Murphy."
"And did you drive Evan here?"
"Yes."
"I see, thank you."
"No problem ma'am" Connor paused and looked at the clock, " i should probably be going, my parents are expecting me soon"
"Right... well did you want to give Evan your phone number? I think you two would be great friends" (heidi ships it)
"Oh yea sure," Connor reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone(mf probably got an i -phone 12 or something smh) "do you have a piece of paper and a pencil or something?"
"Yea here you go" Heidi handed Connor a small sticky note along with a pen that she had on her uniform.
Connor looked at his phone, then scribbled down his number onto the sticky note. He handed the note back to Heidi, who handed it to Evan.
"Thank you again Connor." Hedid said with a smile.
"Yea No Problem, text me okay Evan?"
Evan nodded as Connor left the small hospital room. Evan was still trying to wrap his mind around what happened. If it really happened at all. Did Connor really help him? Did Connor really drive him to the hospital just to make sure he was safe? Evan's was shaken out of his thoughts from his mom saying,
"Well, are you gonna text him?"
"Huh?! Ohoh, yea..."
Evan pulled out his phone (its an android btw) and sent a message to the number Connor had given him.
4:17 pm
XXX-XXX-XXXX: Hello. Is tihs Connor? Its Evan by the way. ( i put typos cause of the broken arm)
4:17 pm
XXX-XXX-XXXX: Sup, yea its Connor
Evan changed the contact name to 'Connor', while Connor changed the contact name to 'Hansen'.
4:18 pm
Connor: Also, if you tell anyone i helped you today, youre dead.
(also, Connor said that cause technically his parents think that when he goes to the forest he goes there to calm down and not converse with people. So if his parents found out he had helped Evan, Connor would probs get in trouble, and yea)
4:18 pm
Hansen: Ok.
Connor didnt text anything after that. Evan figured it was probably because he was driving. Though his anxiety told him it was because Connor didnt want to talk to Evan, which he couldnt blame Connor for that. A silence filled the room.
"Once we get your cast on, im gonna need you to get Jared to take you home ok?"
"Ok mom"
Out of nowhere Evan heard his phone notification sound go off. He looked to see what it was and saw it was a text from connor.
4:20 pm
Connor: 4:20 B)
~🌲~
"Ok, that should be good, I'm gonna have you come back in about 6 weeks to see if the cast is ready to come off, and if not then we'll go another 2 weeks." The doctor paused, "and also try not to move it too much for a few days, so like dont go outside and stuff, try to stay inside."
"O-ok sir"
Evan used his right arm to lift himself out of the chair. And walked himself out of the hospital room. He made his way to the Elevator and rode it down to the lobby. Once in the lobbby he made his way to an empty chair. He pulled out his phone and went to Jareds contact.
5:15 pm
Evan <3: Hey Jared. Can you come pick me up? I'm at the Hospital right now.
5:15 pm
Jared <3: holy shit ur alive. yea sure. Y r u at the hospital tho?
The 'holy shit ur alive" hit Evan hard. Evan knew Jared was joking, Jared always joked about Evan being dead when Evan didnt respond to texts. Still the thought that he could actually be dead right now. Or that he had intended to be dead right now. It was enough to make him cry.
Evan quickly wiped his tears with his arm and responded to Jareds text.
5:16 pm
Evan <3: Yup. haha. Thank You :D. I broke my arm...
5:16 pm
Jared <3: np ev :D. u broke ur arm? How??
Jared <3: also im on my way rn
5:16 pm
Evan <3: I fell from a tree . .-.
5:17 pm
Jared <3: u fell from a tree? wat r u, an acorn? Lolol
5:17 pm
Evan <3: Yes Jared. I am an acorn.
5:17 pm
Jared <3: well ur a very cute acorn ;D
Evan's face flushed. He can't imagine giving up Jared for anything. The tears returned. Why did he think jumping from that tree was a good idea? How could he even think about doing that? Think about leaving Jared forever. Thinking back on it, it was such a bad idea. Words could not describe how happy Evan was about the fact that he survived the fall.
5:18 pm
Evan <3: why thank you ;D
5:18 pm
Jared <3: ur welcome ;3
Jared <3: also im pulling into the parking lot of the hospital rn, so maybe come to try and find me lol
5:18 pm
Evan <3: Okie.
Evan sat up out of the chair and pocketed his phone. He made his way to the hospital doors and walked outside. He looked around the parking lot for Jareds car. Once he spotted it, he made his way across the parking lot. He opened up the car door and got inside.
"Hey Ev"
"Hi jared"
"Can i sign your cast?"
"Oh uh no n-not yet, its t-too soft to write on, in a few d-days you can t-though!"
"Aw man, whatever."
"S-sorry"
"Its fine Ev, can I get a kiss at least?"
"S-sure"
Evan and Jared turned to face eachother, Evan placed a soft and gentle kiss on Jared's lips. Evan released from the kiss and stared into Jareds pretty brown eyes. He cant believe he almost gave this up.
