Chapter 13: The Hospital

Tom drives Jake to the hospital to visit Max after Tom hears that Max is in the hospital. Jake goes to the room Max is in.

"What's up, Dude?" Jake asked him.

"Nothing, except I have a broken leg because of you." Max told him.

"You heard the rumors?" Jake then asked him.

"John, Nick and Rob stopped by after school. They told me that you did something stupid at lunch today." Max said to him.

"Did they tell you what I said?" Jake asked him.

"No, they told me to ask you." Max told him.

"I didn't say anything stupid." Jake told him.

"Nicole stopped by and told me what you told Justin." Max then told him.

"Max, you know I didn't push you in front of that car." Jake said to him.

"Then why did you tell Justin that you did?" Max then asked him.

"I don't know why I lied to him." Jake told him.

"Jake, you lied to Justin so he would be friends with you?" Max then asked him.

"I'm sorry Max." Jake said to him.

"I'm not the one mad at you. Everyone else is." Max explained.

"Did you know that your Uncle Jesse arrested me today?" Jake asked me.

"Why?" Max then asked him.

"After school I was hanging out with Justin and his friend, we stole from the corner store, they ran and my shirt got caught on the shelf corner." Jake explained.

"That sucks." Max said to him.

"I know and I'm grounded for a month. Plus, I have to work in that corner store until the owner says I don't have to." Jake then told him.

"Man that really sucks." Max said to him.

"So, you're not mad at me?" Jake then asked him.

"I'm alittle bit steamed at you but, only because of what you told Justin." Max told him.

"Thanks for getting Nicole to go out with me." Jake said to him.

"No problem but, I don't think she'll go out with you ever again after today." Max told him.

"I know." Jake said to him.

"I'll tell her that you didn't push me in front of the car." Max said to him.

"No thanks, I'll tell her myself until my face turns blue." Jake told him.

"I think you'll have to." Max said to him.

Jake leaves and lets Max get some rest. When him and Tom get home Mark M is outside with Sarah.

"Sarah would you just listen to me please?" Mark M pleaded with her.

"Why should I listen to you?" Sarah asked him.

"Because you're the only girl that could kick my ass and I like that." Mark told her.

Sarah sighs and walks away.

"I'm not letting you leave until you're not mad at me anymore." Mark M told her as he grabbed her arm.

Sarah punches Mark M in the face and gives him a black eye. Sarah feels bad for him and lets him in. She gives him a bag of ice for his eye.

"That really hurt." Mark M told her.

"You think?" Sarah asked him sarcastically.

"You should let my Uncle Elvis train you for boxing." Mark M told her.

"I'm not going to be a pro boxer." Sarah replied.

"My eye still hurts." Mark M told her.

"Stop, being a baby." Sarah told him.

"I'm not being a baby." Mark M told her.

"Then stop complaining." Sarah then told him.

Mark M is trying to take the ice off his eye. Sarah keeps putting it back on his eye. They keep doing this for a few minutes. Then they both go for the ice pack and touch hands. They kiss and start to make out on the couch.
