"Mrs. Weir?"

"Yes?"

"We have bad news it's about your grandson."

At that moment, every bone in my body cracked. Why would the police call me about Benny? Did, did they find out what he is?

"What is it?" I asked getting ready to scold him.

"He, he was in a car crash ma'am."

My hopes of a good lecture died as soon as I heard him.

"He's in the hospital right now."

I dropped the phone as I ran to the car. We didn't live far from the hospital, I always felt better if it was close by. I ran through the double doors and doctors looked at me.

"What, what happened?" I asked, confused.

"They we're on the bus, and it lost control. Your grandson flew through a window Mrs. weir."

My mind reeled back to this morning.

"Bye, Grandma!" Benny called as hi and Anderson picked up their backpacks. The two we're really close friends, closer than he and Ethan had ever been. And if I hadn't known better, I would think the two we're twins, they looked so much alike, they liked the same things, had the same style, they even unintentionally bought the same backpack.

"Is Sarah Bringing you home?" I asked appearing in the living room doorway.

"No, Anderson and I are going to take the bus to his house."

"Okay, be careful and call me when you get to his house."

"Okay grandma, I'll be fine, don't worry about me, I can take care of myself."

"I'm sorry to say this, but, your grandson didn't survive the crash." The doctor said as a few of Benny's friends, Ethan, Sarah, Rory, and Even Erica ran up behind me.

"W-What?" I said holding back tears.

"Ma'am, would you like to see him before we continue with anything?"

I knew I couldn't, I would never be able to see my grandson's lifeless body without killing myself first.

"No, that's okay," I turned to see the hopeful faces of Benny's friends. They disappeared as soon as I broke out in tears, one of the closest family members I have ever had, died.

"Ma'am," The doctor said laying a hand on my shoulder, "would you like to talk to Anderson?"

Anderson? He survived? Does he know... does he know about Benny? "Yes." I said as I motioned to Ethan to follow me.

We both walked into Anderson's room. He was broken beyond recognition, His face was wrapped up so that only one of his eyes was peeping through the bandages, he had broken both of his arms, and his legs. They had wired his jaw, so under the bandages, he couldn't even talk. But other than that, he was fine, I guess.

"Anderson..." I said quietly, how could I tell him? He struggled to talk as I leaned down to hug him, "no don't strain you."

"mutt, mm memmi" He said trying to talk.

"oh, um, Benny's..." I paused should i tell him? I mean he was clearly in pain, "Fine. Benny's fine."

"Mo mm memmi" he said again. I looked at Ethan who just looked sad. "Mm memmi." I stared into his strangely familiar murky green eyes as he struggled to talk.

"Meramma, mm its mm memmi."

I walked out of the room I couldn't do this anymore, Anderson had a horrible life, and know he was in the hospital, and his best friend was dead. I just couldn't tell him, not till he was better at least.

"I'm sorry," Ethan's voice came from behind me, "I'm sorry." and almost like that, I was trapped in a group hug, even Anderson's mother was hugging me.

"I'm so sorry"
