"Mom" I called the second I walked into my home. I had walked, and damn,
was I tired.

My mom walked around the corner. She was a beautiful woman. She had long
light brown hair, which she always kept in a ponytail and she had a very
nice figure. She had a very happy smile, and she was the funnier and more
optimistic of my folks. She apparently was in Tiger Beat during the 70's.
I could see why, but I didn't enjoy looking at swim suit editions of my
mom from the 70's. Talk about awkward...

"Tanner, where were you?" she asked me.

"Mom," I said, ignoring her, "we need to get to the hospital."

"Why?" she said, with concern in her voice.

"Well, a friend of mine got beat up pretty bad &I brought him to the
nurse and she called an ambulance & now I need to go see him."

"Honey, I'm sure that your friend is grateful, but I would think that
only family would be allowed to visit him right now."

"Please, Mom, can you just take me there?"

"Alright, but if they say we're not allowed to see him now, than we're
coming back home, understand?"

"Yeah."

After the five minute drive to the hospital, they let me visit Jamie,
while my mom waited for me in the waiting room. Surprisingly, there was
no one even in the room except for Jamie. I walked up to his bed and just
watched him. He opened his eyes, sensing that someone else was in the
room. He looked up at me.

"Tanner Rade..." he said. I felt tingly inside when he said it.

"Jamie Mcara. Who would've thought that the two of us, who aren't even
really friends, would be in this kind of situation?"

"Yeah" he managed to laugh.

"You ok?"

He didn't respond. His eyes just kept staring into the wall across the
foot of his bed. I saw tears starting to form. As I was about to say that
I was going to leave, he opened his mouth.

"Tanner..." he said, looking over at me again.

Instinctively, I got closer to him and he pulled me into a hug. I could
feel him weeping, and staining my new shirt. I wrapped my arms around him
to let him know I was there for him.

"This mean you & me are friends now?" he asked.

"I hope so." I smiled, with more hope in my thoughts than came out of my
mouth.

"Well, how about, once everything has settled down a bit, you can come
over to my house. Just from what some people at school have said at
school, you and me seem to have a lot in common, Tanner."

"Sure, I'll come over whenever you're ready."

Just then, Jamie's parents burst through the door and right through me,
which got me a bit ticked.

"Oh, honey, are you ok?" asked his mom, nearly in tears.

"I'm fine Mom, thanks to Tanner right there." Some how he knew I had been
ticked off at his parents brushing by me. His parents thanked me,
although it seemed like they didn't even know what had really happened.

After I said my goodbye's, I thought about what would happen at Jamie's
house when this all blew over. I was now even liking him more the more I
saw him. Jamie & I were now best friends. I was ecstatic. Then I
remembered the current situation.

"Mom, Jamie asked me that once this is all behind everyone if I can go to
his house. Can I?" I asked.

"Sure, I don't see why not."

I wondered what would happen...
