Ali was extremely comforting, even just here at the start, and Leo could more than see how she managed to be such a great mom and big sister. She had an understanding way about her, and it was helping him not feel quite so awful, even if he was still scared to death for Max. This wasn't exactly how new relationships were supposed to start, even if Jace said that it was pretty similar to how things had kicked off with him and Jesse in some ways. "I texted him that I was coming, and he was texting weird stuff a little bit, and by the time I got there, he answered the phone, but he was so out of it that he couldn't really talk right, and he couldn't get to the door to let me in." Maybe he'd already said that, but he was running over and over it in his head, trying to figure out for sure if he'd done everything the way he should've.

"He was drinking a lot of water last night, but he was so sick he couldn't keep it down. Everything seemed okay, but then it just hit him out of nowhere." He paused, looking at Ali as she explained a little more. "Type I diabetes? Is that the one where you need to take insulin shots or not?" It didn't make a difference in things with him and Max as far as he was concerned, but he did want to know as much of the information as he could. "So he isn't in a coma, but he's still not conscious at the level he usually is, because he's sick. How did it just... happen without Max knowing anything at all before? Or is that how it is? Just one of those things that comes on you all at once and screws your whole system up?" He was trying to not be the guy with a million questions, when she didn't even know anything for sure herself yet until the tests came back. "I was actually going to offer to stay the night with him last night, just because I was worried, but we'd only just met and I didn't want to freak him out or make him think I was moving too fast. I kind of wish I had stayed, now."
