Chapter Nine

"Mr. Moonyham?" The doctor came out and asked Freddy's dad.

"Ah no. David Jones actually. Zack's parents are out of town."

The doctor smiled, "Hello, I'm Doctor Candy. I have good news and bad." she smiled.

"Give me the bad news doc, I can take it." He said pretending to cry.

Candy laughed, "He tore his ASL in his knee. That means, no football for a while. He'll be on crutches for a long time, but he'll be okay."

"Thank god." Katie said.

Candy smiled, "You can all go see him now."

"Thanks." Freddy's dad said before walking down the hall.

"Yo, Zack Attack!" Freddy said walking in and approaching Zack, doing their little handshake.

"Hey!" Summer said bending down to give him a hug.

"Glad you're alright." Katie said and hugged him too.

"Who won?" Zack asked.

Summer shrugged. "Don't know. Left third quarter." she sat down in a chair.

Zack sat up, "Freddy! Dude they need you there! Without us, our teams…"

"Bad." Freddy finished for him.

"How do you feel?" Katie asked standing by him.

"Like I've been trampled by elephants." He replied and laid back down.

"With the size of that guy he should be an elephant." Freddy commented.

"Yeah well next time I see him, I'll show him what it feels like." Zack threatened.

Summer laughed, "Well, we're glad that you're okay."

"Hey kids, we're going to go call your mom. Be right back." Mr. and Mrs. Jones walked out of the room.

Summer's stomach grumbled, "I'm going to get something to eat. Want to come Freddy?" she asked opening the door.

"Hey Tink! Get me something from the vending machine! The food here is crap." Zack asked as they were walking out.

"Sure thing." Summer smiled and closed the door.

Zack made room for Katie to sit down next to him. "Gave us quite a scare." she said running a hand through his hair.

He sighed, "It sucks I can't play football."

Katie smiled, "Yeah well, how will you play for the band?" she asked.

Zack smiled, "Don't worry, I'll make it work."

Katie laughed, "You always do."

"I have a question." Zack asked sitting up.

"I have chips!" Summer said happily walking into the room throwing a bag at Zack and Katie.

"What did you want to ask?" Katie said.

"Nevermind." Zack said and shook his head.

Mr. and Mrs. Jones came into the room, "Alright, let's go!"

"I'm going to help Zack get it." Katie said as they pulled into Zack's driveway.

"You want us to wait for you?" Mr. Jones asked.

"No, I live down the street. I'll walk home." She said hoping out of the van. "Bye!" She waved as they drove out of sight.

Katie helped Zack up the stairs and into his room.

"Here." Katie said pulling back the sheets.

Zack chuckled, "Katie, I can do that myself."

"I know, but I still want to." she said helping him into his bed. "Night." she said and kissed his forehead.

"Hey, it's 11:30, I don't want you walking home alone." Zack said worriedly.

"Zack, I'm fine." Katie reassured him and stood up from his king size bed.

He caught her arm, "Come on, and just stay here. What if I need something and can't reach the phone?" Zack asked with pleading eyes.

Katie laughed, "Fine." Zack pulled back the covers and Katie got in and laid next to him. "Better?" she asked.

Zack wrapped his arms around Katie's waist and held her close. "Much." he whispered into her hair.

"Zack?" Katie asked.

"Hmm?" He replied sleepily.

"What were you going to ask me at the hospital?" She asked.

"If you would be my girlfriend." He muttered.

"Oh. Yes." She replied.

"Yes what?" he asked.

Katie laughed, "I'll be your girlfriend." she said and felt her eye lids close.

Meanwhile, Freddy walked Summer home. "See you tomorrow babe." he said at her door.

"Bye!" she said hugging him and walked into the house.

"Oh thank god, I was worried sick." Summer was greeted with Colby hugging her.

She patted him on the back, "Yeah." she wriggled out of his grip.

"Where were you?" Her dad asked coming in from his office.

"Hospital." She answered walking upstairs.

"Don't walk away when I'm talking to you!" he said after her, "Why?" he asked.

"My friend was hurt." She replied.

"Who?" he asked.

"Zack." she whispered.

"And he's a cheerleader?" Her dad asked.

"No, he's a football player." She answered.

"Who else were you with?" he asked.

"Another cheerleader, Katie." She replied.

"Is that it?" He asked. Summer nodded her head. "Okay then. Goodnight." he said and walked away.

Colby grabbed her hand before she could move, "You were with that guy."

"What?" she spat.

"You were with that guy who hit me. I saw him out there." He said mad.

"I don't know who you're talking about." She said walking away.

Colby spun her around and was 2 inches from his face, "You listen up. If I ever see you with him again, I will personally take care of him." he pushed her away and walked out the door.

Summer pulled out her cell phone and dialed a number, "Freddy?" she asked. "Hey it's me. No I'm fine. No, he didn't hurt me. Um, you know what? It's not important. No I'm sure. Love you too. Night." she hung up the phone.

She couldn't tell him. She couldn't bring herself to say the words. She sighed and laid back on her pillow. Just another thing to worry about, she thought to herself. She felt tears spring to her eyes.

"When will this be over?" She silently said, and cried herself to sleep.
