I obeyed. This was the life, I could not believe my luck. Although my leg hurt badly, it was worth it to have people wait on me. For the rest of the evening I was treated like royalty, which for once was great. My mother even brought me dinner on a tray to eat on the couch, which until now had been forbidden.

After dinner, my mother helped me off the couch, and into my room.

Here my mother turned down my bed and had set out a pair pf pajamas. I shooed her out so I could get changed and into bed. I got out of my clothes for the day and into my pajamas with little difficulty, although the cast almost didn't fit through the leg of the pants. I hobbled to the bathroom where upon I washed my face for the first time in 4 or 6 days. I brushed my teeth while balancing on one crutch, my balance was alright, someday I might even be circus performer, although I doubted it. I made sure that the reading light by my bed was on, and then turned off the overhead light. My reading glow cast an eerie light on the surrounding room. I half crawled half tugged my cast under the covers. After 15 minutes of getting comfortable I finally turned out the light.

Here I was standing on a beach, looking out over the clear blue water. I didn't have a cast, and I wiggled my toes into the warm sand. I looked up and Bradin was walking towards me. My head was spinning, He got closer, and closer. There was steam, and his lips were on mine. Nothing in the world mattered more. …

We were together…. The world revolved…

I awoke and was back on my feet. My mom had put out an outfit for today just to make it a little easier for me. It was a nice thought but She has n o fashion sense. I balance myself precariously on one crutch while I found new clothing to support my fashion needs. By the time I got out to the breakfast table the clock read 10:42 . My mom wanted to go down to the high school and have me pick up my work. Breakfast was good but , I could do with out so much bacon. Now as we all know playa Linda high school is not the place to be, especially when every girl in school thinks you had something to do with the disappearance of Bradin westerly. So here I was standing in the front office getting stares from every girl passing the halls. The ladies in the office were so sorry about what had happened to me. During third passing period I made it to my government class to stop by and say hi while obtaining all of the needed work for two weeks. Every girl in government, turned and faced the door upon my arrival and I got stares all around except for Erika who was quietly sitting in the front row. She smiled at me and I returned it, I knew She was on my side for once.
