((no biggie! welcome back :> ))

Kevin's grip around his soda can tightened slightly as the nurse spoke before hurrying off, but his posture didn't change much. He didn't even glance at the nurse. Visiting hours.. Wasn't there some way he could stay with her? He felt pretty childish, but he didn't care. Ellie was everything to him.. She was his best friend and she kept the bullies away from him during school. He tried to be everything to her as well, but now he didn't really feel like he was much of anything. His mind was slowly started to drift into a darker place with the settling silence.

His thoughts were snapped into reality and he lifted his head to look at James. Food? He wasn't hungry.. But, he knew Ellie would worry if his health started slipping, so he nodded lightly. "Can I come with you, to see what they have?" Kevin asked. He didn't want to accidentally ask for something they didn't have.
