After the night of the shoot, John was admitted to the hospital. Apparently the sophmore had bad aim because the doctors found the bullet through his ankle. The sophmore was announced dead at the scene and Matt was fine with a scrape across his shoulder.

A few weeks later:

John had just gotten out of the hospital and was heading back to school. When he got there, he got out and manged his way into the school with his crutches. When he got in and had gotten to his locker when Brokke had walked past him giving him a dirty look. Just as he had gotten his locker open, someone had came along and kicked one of his crutches on the floor, causing him to fall to the floor. Everyone had started laughing, when Matt came up to him.

"Hey man. Need any help there?" Matt said helping him get his stuff.

"Thanks. What happened to your shoulder Matt?"

"Nothing really. Just from saving Brooke's life."

"Oh yeah she told me all about when she came the one time."

"Really."

"Yeah she was going on and on about how you saved her life and all. And then she got all angry at me and started yelling at me." John said as they making their way to class.

"Why?"

"I might have said a few things to her that night she came in."

"Like what?" he asked as they had gotten into their chemistry class and in their seats.

"Well she was going on and on about how you saved her life and all. So I said to her why don't we just break up, so you can go out with him and don't ever worry about me ever again."

"So that why she was right mad when she came out."

"Yeah most like it."

A couple hours later:

John was now back to his usual way of life. Hanging with his friends. Matt, instead of sitting with John and his friends, went to the main steps to meet Brooke.

"Hey B." He said giving her a kiss.

"Hey. ready to go."

"Yeah sure."

They both then got into matt's car and started driving to Zeke's restraurant knowing that is where her father would be. When they got there, sure enough he was there.

"Hi daddy."

"How much do you want now?"

"I can't believe you would think that all I came here for is for money. Maybe I just wanted to come check up for a bit."

"So a hundred good?"

"Thanks but I actually wanted to check to see if that thing is still possible to get."

"Yes it is. It'll be here in a couple of days."

"Ok see you."

Brooke and Matt then started to leave. Then Troy called Matt over.

"Yes sir?"

"Here take this and don't ask any questions." Troy said giving him two hundred.

"Thanks sir"

Matt then ran and got in his car and started driving down the road. He then pulled into a parking lot next to a car dealer ship.

"Hey you want to come or just stay in here."

"I'll come with i guess."

They then got out and started looking around. They kept on looking until Matt stopped at this one car.

"Matt is this the car you been telling me about?"

"Yea isn't it something?"

"It's ok but if you like it, that's what matters."

They then left and then started driving back to his place. When they got in, Brooke went in the kitchen and sat down on one of the chairs. While Matt went to go get a drink.

"What?" Matt said.

"Nothing. It's just I can't stop looking at you today."

Matt then went over and then they started making. They then went up to his room and then one thing lead to another, until they were both naked underneath the sheets of his king size bed.
