"Tom. Come here." We've been at the hospital for almost an hour. I get up from the cold, hard plastic chair I've been sitting in.
"Yeah Gordon?"
"What the hell happened?" I gulp. I don't want to lie to him, but I certainly don't what to tell him the truth. I take a deep breath.
"Umm. Well. You see. What happened was…um…" Luckily at that moment a nurse came over.
"Excuse me but Bill is done now. You are welcome to take him home." Bill walks around the corner, holding his hand to his head. "Bill!" I yell and run over. I hug him and whisper in his ear, " Gordon wants to know what happened. What should I say?"
"Don't worry. I got this." We walk over to Gordon.
"Sorry it took so long. I needed stitches, but wouldn't let them shave my head." I laugh and Gordon glares at me.
"So Tom. What happened?" my mouth goes dry and I look at Bill. He winks at me.
"You know how clumsy I am. I tripped and hit my head." Gordon shakes his head at Bill and we leave the hospital. When we get home Bill and me immediately run to his room.
"Thanks twin. You saved me," I say. Bill rolls his eyes.
"Ironic really because you practically killed me." I laugh. We sit quietly for a minute.
"Hey Tom? Can I tell you something?" I face Bill and see the sadness in his eyes.
"Of course Bill. You can tell me anything. Don't you know that?" He smiles and nods.
"Yeah. I do. Tom? I want to help her. I want to make her happy." I know that he is talking about Leanah. " I think, " Bill sighs, " I think I love her."
