*he chuckles softly* yeah.. *he falls over in his seat with a soft ‘oof’*
Max? Max, talk to me, buddy. Are you still awake? *Carlos had to keep his eyes on the road, but he kept glancing at the rear-view mirror hoping to see Max sit up again.*
*he mumbled something about being tired, curling up into a little ball of white and red*
Max? Max! Stay awake! We’re almost there! *Carlos rounded a corner and there it was – the hospital*
*no response, good thing the hospitals right there, right?-*
*It was a blur for Carlos from there. He didn’t remember driving up to the emergency portal. Just that Max was taken out of the car. He didn’t remember if he parked his car or if a valet did it for him. But hours later he was in post-op, sitting with Max and waiting for him to wake up.*
*maybe half an hour later, he finally stirred awake, looking around the room in a slight panic as he tried to remember what happened. he relaxed slightly when he saw Carlos* C-Carlos..? what happened..?
*sits up suddenly, surprised and relieved that Max was now awake.* Hey! Uh – uh, I got you to the hospital. I think you passed out… I was trying to keep you talking. Do you remember that?
*he glanced away as he thought, shaking his head a minute later* n-not really.. b-but thanks.. *he forced a small smile, whincing as he sat up slightly*
Hey, hey, careful! You had some internal bleeding.
*he sighs softly, laying back down* gods damn it…
It’s okay now, Max. Just relax, okay?
