"Hi Terri," Spinner said, looking into the hospital room where Terri was sitting on the bed in her hospital gown under the covers looking at some fashion magazines that Paige had brought her. Her hair in a braid on her shoulder.
"Hi Spin," Terri said, surprised as she looked up from the magazine. "What's up?"
"Um," Spinner looked down at the teddy bear he had bought that was wearing a sweater saying GET WELL SOON, "I bought you something." He walked over and handed it to her and she took it and looked at it.
"Thanks, Spinner," she replied. She touched it's white fur and the knitted sweater. It had some gauze wrapped around its head and she smiled.
"Terri," he said.
She looked up at him. "Yeah?"
"I'm so sorry," he whispered.
"For what? This?" she asked. He didn't say anything. "No, Sweetie, don't be sorry for this. It wasn't your fault."
"Yes it was!" Spinner said, tears rushing down his face trying to get away from his eyes. "I shouldn't have let him come with us. I should've kicked his ass after the first time he hurt you!" He sat down on the bed and Terri put the teddy bear to the side on the table and reached out and picked up his hand.
"No, Spinner, it's not," she said. She reached up and put her arms around his neck and pulled him down onto her shoulder where he continued to cry. "You didn't know what he was going to do."
"But I knew what he did."
"I know," Terri said, holding him close.
Spinner didn't feel embarrassed that he wasn't being bad ass Spinner Mason, but more like a baby crying like that. Terri didn't even seem to mind that he was crying.
"Sh," she whispered. "Calm down. It's ok. I'm ok."
But Spinner still cried on her and she held onto him. "Sh," she came whispering. "I'm fine now."
He nodded and finally he stopped crying and sat up and wiped his eyes. "I feel stupid."
"For crying?" she asked.
"Yeah," he said.
"She shook her head. "It's ok, Spin."
He nodded again and took a deep breath and swallowed down some more sobs.
"So what's been happening at school?" she asked.
"I thought Paige and Hazel kept you up on that stuff?"
"They do. But I want to hear it from your prospective."
He laughed and went on to tell her about school.
