Eventually Noah fell to the ground, and was unable to get back up on his own. He didn't call out for help, though no one would come. He just curled up on the ground, slowly crying. Over the next few days, he couldn't get up at all, he just laid there in a pool of his own blood and waste.

A couple other residents complained to the headmaster about the smell, who eventually found him, barely alive and unconscious. 911 was called and it was all over the news due to the colleges reputation and his car accident. Noah was rushed off to the hospital.

Noah was hospitalized for months. Eventually he got his casts off, and was getting healthy again before he was moved to the psych ward of the hospital. He was miserable there too, but he was slowly getting better after the doctors put him on his depression meds.

Noah missed her everyday, even on the meds. Eventually, just under a year later, Noah was released from the hospital and sent home. He was feeling normal again, thanks to the meds. He went back to his dorm, it feeling empty without her... but he made his way back to the last of his classes. He'd have to retake the entire year next year. Noah took his morning classes, then going for lunch. While he was eating, a black haired boy came up to him. "Hey, my names Rowan. I thought you were super cute and I was wondering if I could see you some time," Rowan asked. Noah practically gaped. "Uh, yeah, sure," he nodded. He wrote his number down on a napkin and gave it to Rowan. "Here, that's my number,"

Over the next couple weeks, Rowan and Noah grew closer. They started dating. Rowan wasn't like anyone else Noah had dated before. He was rougher and much more dominating. But Noah enjoyed their time together, it was nice. One night, Noah was finishing up dishes, he picked up his phone, texting Rowan. -Wanna come over?- he asked. -On my way- Rowan texted back. Noah smiled and opened his door when he knocked. "Hey," he said. Within minutes, they were a tangle of teeth, lips, and tongue as Rowan tipped them back onto his bed. With Rowan, it was feral. Rowan pulled Noahs hair to get him where he wanted him, but Noah cooperated and found himself enjoying it all. Once it was over, Noah was curled up in Rowans chest, exhausted. Rowan wrapped his arms around Noah protectively. "I love you..." Noah murmured. "I love you too," Rowan kissed his head.
