With Time, We Fall Chapter Twenty Six Ryan "Addison!"

With Time, We Fall
Chapter Twenty Six

Ryan

"Addison!" I called after her, but I couldn't go anywhere. I had to stay with Troy.
"What are you doing man? Why'd you break up with her, you needed her."
"I'm not good enough for her Ryan. Okay? Can we leave now." Troy cried 
"I've got your bag in the car, come on buddy." I lifted him up, throwing his arm around my shoulders. 

"My name is Ryan Hagerty, I'm checking Troy Porter in, he called earlier today" 
The nurse smiled and typed something into the computer, "And who are you?"
She said over her computer screen.
"Uh, Ryan Hagerty, his best friend" 
"Okay one moment" She typed some more, "Are you sure you are able to check him in?'"
"Uh, I, I don't know you work here you should know that." 
"I guess we can make an acception since its urgent" 
I walked over to where Troy had sat down, "Alright, come on Troy. You're going to get better now. Let's go." 
He stood slowly, grabbing his bag and truding beside me into the nurses care. 
"I'll come see you as soon as they let me, okay? Okay?" I waited until I couldn't see him, maybe thats a boyfriend/girlfriend thing to do but Addison had no idea what was going on. 
Which reminded me that I needed to call her.

"Hello?" She sniffled 
"Hi Addison, it's Ryan. Um we need to talk"
"Ryan that is the second time hearing that, tonight. Can it please wait"
"Actually it can't. Where are you I'm picking you up."
"I'm not getting in the car with you and Troy so that you guys can gang up on me-"
"Addison! Where are you."
"The park by Whalen Street... I'll wait here."

I left, found her sitting on the bench off the side of the road. 
"Get it" I said unlocking the passenger door.
"What's going on?"
"Addison there is a lot wrong with Troy that you don't know"
"Yeah apparently. He wouldn't tell me anything."
"And I'm in no position to tell you either, but if you come with me maybe he can tell you himself."
She nodded in agreement, "good."
 
When we pulled into the hospital's parking lot Addison looked frightened, "What? What's going on is he okay?!" 
I shook my head, "Not now, but he will be, come on." I opened her door, held her hand as we walked inside. 
We sat down in the waiting room, "What, what kind of hospital is this?" Addison asked after about a half hour of waiting. 
I gulped, "It's a juvenile psychiatric hospital."
"Wh- what?"
"Calm down Addie, you aren't dating a killer or anything. Don't worry about that"
"What does he have? Can you at least tell me that"
"As far as I know, Severe Depression. But, let him tell you that too. Don't say anything when you go see him, say nothing at all and let him talk. Okay?"
She nodded, "You're a great friend to him Ryan."
"...I know. I don't know how long it's going to be until we see him though so, I can take you home and call you when we can, If you want. I just wanted you to see for yourself."
"I want to stay, here."
"It could be days, I might even leave-"
"I said, I want to stay."
I smiled "You're a good ex-girlfriend Addison"
