When we entered the hospital room we saw Leo's mom Rosemary sitting by the hospital bed in which Leo was lying.
"Omygod omygod!" I said, rushing over to them.
Rosemary looked up.
"Is he ok?"
"Hello dear," Rosemary said looking at me.
"Hi."
"He's sleeping right now. They gave him meds."
"Oh, so they gave him drugs after he had a drug overdose? A lot of sense that makes."
"Morgan, I know you're upset," Rosemary began but was cut off by me.
"Upset, upset? Of course I'm upset he was, is," I corrected myself; "my friend."
"Yes, I know. And he's my son."
"Oh. Do they know how long he'll be in here?"
"No, but my best guess is at least a week."
"Oh."
I sat down in a chair.
"I'm so sorry," Shawn said, crossing the room to us.
"Thank you. And you are?" Rosemary asked Shawn, looking up at him.
"Oh wow where are my manners? This is-" I began.
"I'm Shawn, a friend of Morgan's older brother, Cory."
"I'm Rosemary, mother of Morgan's friend Leo. This, is Leo."
"I figured as much."
Mr. Feeny crossed the room.
"Rosemary, hello," he said.
She smiled.
"Hi George," she replied.
"You 2 know each other?" I asked, looking at the 2 of them.
Rosemary smiled, again; "yes, George - Mr. Feeny, rather. Feels odd saying that - he's a friend of my parents'."
"Oh."
"Yes. I've known them for many years."
"Would you like some bread?"
I smiled. Even in the midst of all that had happened, Rosemary still remembered to bring her bread.
I turned to Shawn; "Rosemary makes the most wonderful bread."
"Hey, I believe you. And sure, I'll have some," he said.
Rosemary dug into her purse.
"What exactly happened?" Mr. feeny asked.
"idinno. Someone found him and brought him here. The nurse phoned me," rosemary answered.
