Alyssa inserted the key into the ignition and glanced over in Jared's direction, waiting for him to say something in return. "I am really sorry about that, Lyss," He finally started off to break the silence that had settled. "The last thing I expected was to have you run into my brother and my ex-girlfriend in one day," He sincerely apologized accompanied with a small sigh. Reaching over the console, he placed his hand gently on top of hers.
"It's okay. That was nothing compared to some of the situations I have been through. Besides, I think it's really sweet that you are still that concerned for her well-being after everything," She responded, hoping to ease his worries. "Let's just have some peace in mind knowing that Casey is going to the hospital to have the doctors check on her. I'm sure that Logan will tell us if something major is wrong." With that said, she reached out to place the car into reverse and backed out of the driveway a few moments after Casey's car.
Together, the two started their date by grabbing some lunch at one of the local restaurants to simply talk about their lives for the past few days. It gave Alyssa the time to left off some steam by discussing about how stressful college was, especially with being a pre-law major. In turn, Jared would listen to her troubles and offer some advice to manage with the stress. "I mean, what does the professor really expect from us? To write in our sleep?" She groaned with the shake of the head when the waiter came over to place their food onto the table.
"Hey, you'll be fine. You always find a way to work through all of that stuff, and this is what you love. You can do this. Me, on the other hand, I'm still undeclared." Jared lightly joked then turned to thank the waiter. After their delightful lunch, the couple planned to return home since Alyssa still had some work to finish up, and Jared still could not get Casey's health out of his mind. It had distracted him quite a bit during their time together. Alyssa pulled into the driveway of his house and noticed that Casey's car was back in the driveway. Hopefully, that meant good news. "Let me know how Casey's doing, okay?" She requested then leaned over to place a light kiss on his lips.
Jared gave a small nod in return then hopped out of the truck to saunter up to the front steps while giving a small wave to Alyssa as she backed out to return home. Out of the corner of his eye, he could clearly see that Casey was sitting inside of her car with a distraught expression. A small frown spread across his lips as he made his way over to the passenger side of the car, knocking on the window. "Casey? What's wrong? What did the doctors tell you?" He questioned since it was clear that he was worried about what had occurred. It only intensified when he realized that her eyes were all puffy and red, indicating that she had been crying for quite some time. Of course, only his brother would leave his girlfriend to cry by herself.
