Marty and Pete were eating in the pizza parlor after school before going to the hospital to visit Jenny. They ordered three slices one for each of them and one for Jenny. As they sat in the counter, waiting for their orders, in walked Joe and Brianna.
"I can't believe she's in the hospital," Joe said as they took their seats in a booth.
"So what? Here's your ninety bucks." Brianna handed Joe an envelope.
"Damn, she just had to fall?" Joe reached over and took the money. He obviously didn't care about Jenny's health. What he did care about was the point that he could've made more money if Jenny didn't fall off the uneven bars.
Pete turned his head so he could hear the conversation.
"I heard she's a cripple," Brianna giggled. "Maybe the bet will stay longer when she's out of the hospital."
Marty tried to pull him out of it but Pete went up to their table. "How about you jerk offs stop making bets? How much was she, Joe? I want to know how low you snooped for money and because of a fight."
"Ninety bucks," Joe announced proudly. "Pete, give it up."
Pete laughed and shook his head. He grabbed Joe's shirt collar and dragged him outside, throwing him against the brick wall. They were followed by Brianna and Marty who got their food.
"Pete can you stop," Brianna yelled but the two boys ignored her. "Marty stop them!"
Pete punched Joe and was tackled to the ground. Joe, on top, was hitting Pete as much as he could but Pete rolled over so he was on top and doing the same. The fighting continued until Marty pulled Joe off and pushed him against the wall.
"C'mon Pete," Marty said. "These bitches ain't worth shit."
Pete was holding the money that Joe won from Brianna and ripped the contents inside it.
"What happened to you two," Paul asked when he saw Pete and Marty pass by him. Paul was leaving while Pete and Marty were entering the hospital.
"Well it all started when we saw them in the pizzeria…"
Pete left Marty to explain the situation while he went up to Jenny's room. He opened the door, "Knock, knock. I brought you pizza." He put the bag on her table and kissed her forehead.
"Hey," she smiled. "What happened to your face?" Pete moved a chair close to her bed and explained it to her.
"I didn't like how they were talking about you, Jen." He said, concluding his story.
She smiled in appreciation for what he sacrificed. "I think that Joe and Brianna should get together. They seem so alike and great for each other." She giggled after realizing how true her comment was.
Pete laughed and looked up, "W-what about us?"
"What do you mean?"
"You think we're good for each other?"
"I think that we're-"
She didn't finish her last statement because Paul and Marty entered the room.
"How you feelin' Jen," Marty asked.
"Better," she nodded. "Thanks for asking."
"No problem."
"Aw, you two are bonding," Paul cooed. He looked on the familiar faces of the other three in the room and knew what was coming. He stopped them, though, before they said anything. "I know, shut up." He took a seat on the bed but accidentally positioned himself on top on Jenny's foot.
"Ouch," she grabbed the part Paul sat on, "My leg!"
They all looked at her but Paul was the first one to mention something. "W-what did you say?"
"You hurt my leg!"
