******************************************************************************

Spinelli and Josh were sitting in Josh's car. Spinelli was beginning to feel very uncomfortable.

"So, uh, Spinelli. What do you say we get to know each other a little more," Josh said while turning up the heat in the car.

"Umm, I think we know each other well enough, don't you?" Spinelli replied nervously. When she first got the idea to come to the mall it was to get Lyndsay a boy. Now she ended up freaking out and sitting in a boy's car with the music turned up loud and the heat on. She slowly reached for the car door handle when he wasn't looking. The doors were locked.

"Spinelli, I want to know you a little more," Josh said scooting closer toward her. Spinelli moved back as far as the car would allow her to. She was smashed up against the door.

"No, That's ok, Josh. Really, I'm fine," Spinelli replied. He paid no attention to her. He covered her mouth with his. She tried to pull away, but he wouldn't let her. Tears started streaming down her face when she realized she was helpless. She panicked when she felt his hand move up under her shirt. She did the only thing she could think of to do. She took one of her own hands and pried his face away from hers. She punched him hard in the nose. He had blood dripping everywhere. Quickly, she unlocked and opened the passenger side car door. She ran. She didn't care where she was going she just had to get away from him. She ran into the mall. She had to find Gretchen and Lyndsay and get out of there.

"Spinelli! Spinelli!" Spinelli turned around to see Gretchen running after her.

"Gretch! Oh thank goodness you're here!" Spinelli cried. She ran at her friend and hugged her. Spinelli cried on Gretchen's shoulder without noticing Gretchen had tears in her eyes too.

"Spinelli, I'm not trying to be rude but whatever happened to you will have to wait for later," Gretchen said. Spinelli pulled away from her friend.

"Is it Lyndsay?" Spinelli asked. Gretchen nodded.

"You mean?" Spinelli gasped. Gretchen nodded in response again.

"Oh! Gretch we have got to get her to a hospital and quick!" Spinelli exclaimed.

"I know, let's go," Gretchen replied. The two took off running back to the spot Gretchen had left Lyndsay.

"Have you called 911 yet?" Spinelli asked.

"No not yet. Here let me do that now, "Gretchen replied taking out her cell phone. Spinelli sat down next to Lyndsay on the floor of the mall and began listening to Gretchen's conversation.

"Hello. I need an ambulance over here quick!.......... I'm at the big mall....... Yeah that one.......... My friend just passed out!........Ok thanks." Gretchen hung up her phone.

"Well?" Spinelli asked looking at Gretchen.

"They're sending an ambulance over. Now what are you so upset about?" Gretchen asked remembering how Spinelli had been in tears when Gretchen had found her.

"Well, I went with him like he asked me to. We walked around for a while. Then he took me to his car and......" Spinelli choked on her tears. It was obvious to Gretchen what had happened and she understood perfectly well why Spinelli couldn't talk anymore.

"Spin, I am so sorry. Come here," Gretchen said pulling Spinelli into her arms again. Spinelli cried and cried. After a few moments they heard the sirens of an ambulance get really close and stop out in the parking lot. Spinelli and Gretchen let go of each other. Paramedics rushed in. By this time a huge crowd had gathered around Lyndsay. Spinelli stepped forward.

"Excuse me, can I ride in the ambulance with her? I'm her cousin. I want to be there for her," Spinelli asked after the paramedics have looked Lyndsay over and were ready to put her into the ambulance.

"Sure," the paramedic replied.

"Gretch, here's the key to my car. Follow us. Meet you there," Spinelli said as she tossed Gretchen the key. Gretchen nodded in agreement and headed to Spinelli's car. The ambulance pulled out of the parking lot of the mall, followed closely by Gretchen in Spinelli's car. After what seemed like forever for Spinelli, they reached the hospital. The paramedics took Lyndsay away, leaving Spinelli and Gretchen alone in the waiting room.

"Gretchen, I love my cousin, but right now I need to be with TJ. You know what happened back there. When the doctors tell you about Lyndsay please call me as soon as possible. Ok?" Spinelli asked.

"Of course, Spin," Gretchen replied.

"Thanks," Spinelli said as she hugged Gretchen and rushed out the door to her car. She drove down the now dark streets to TJ's house. When she got there she remembered that she had been using TJ's car all along and had been referring to it as hers. Not that she cared about that right now. She ran into the house, knowing that his parents weren't home.

"TJ!" Spinelli screamed. She had tears running down her face again. TJ came running down the stairs.

"What is it, Spinelli?" TJ asked.

"TJ. I love you," Spinelli said as she ran into his arms. She cried and cried. She has never cried this much in one night.

"Spinelli, sit down and tell me what happened," TJ said leading Spinelli to the living room. She sat down on the couch.

"I'll tell you up until the part I can't speak anymore. Well, me, Gretchen, and Lyndsay went to the mall to get Lyndsay a boy. While we were there these three guys came up to us. Each one of them decided to get to know one of us. I got stuck with the worst guy imaginable! At first we just walked around the mall. Then, he took me to his car. And then......." Spinelli explained. TJ knew exactly why she couldn't finish now. He took her in his arms again and hugged her tightly.

"It's ok now Spinelli," TJ said softly. She pulled away from him. The two kissed a short kiss. Suddenly Spinelli's cell phone rang. It was so sudden it made her jump. Seeing it was Gretchen, she excused herself and took the call in the kitchen.

"Hello?........... Gretch!.......... What did the doctors say?.......... Well I already knew the problem....... He said what?........... How long?........... Only two weeks!........ I guess we should tell the others now, huh?........ Ok. I'll tell TJ now since I'm over here............ Ok. See ya later," Spinelli hung up her cell phone and leaned against the wall. She couldn't believe what she had just heard. How was this possible? Spinelli felt tears begin to well up in her eyes. 'No. I can't cry now. I have to wait to tell TJ first,' she told herself. Spinelli took a deep breath and walked back into the living room.

"TJ?" Spinelli asked.

"What?" TJ asked looking at her.

"I have something to tell you." Spinelli sat down and looked into his eyes wondering how she was going to tell him what would probably be the worst news he has heard in his life.
