We arrived to the hospital, Sammy was sat up.
"Hey Sammy." I say giving him a hug.
"Spider-man is coming to see me!"
"What?"
"Spider-man."
"That's awesome!"

Meanwhile with Tom...
I didn't realise I had to go and see Sammy. It was a new request so I might as well go to make the little guy happy, I can't not go poor little dude I feel so bad for him. Obviously I had to swing there didn't want myself looking like a fool. I got changed into my suit a swung across the roads and streets reaching the hospital.
"Sir, what are you doing here?" A nurse asked. Clearly a new one.
"I'm here to see a patient."
She said nothing so I left anyway.
"Could you tell me where Sammy Evans' room is?" I asked.
"Down the hall."
I walked down the hall to his room and knocked. "Come in". I walked through to see a brown haired girl sitting beside Sammy. Oh god it was Avery.

Avery
Spider-Man came through, was it the real one or just a fake. His body shape looked like the real one.
"Oh Sammy, Spider-Man's here." I say folding his comic back up and putting it to the side, then getting Ella's chair seeing as she was gone for him to sit on.

"Oh thanks, Hey Sammy." He said sitting down.
"Are you the real Spider-Man?" Sammy asked.
"Of course I am! I came specially to see you. Where's your mummy and daddy?"

"They went out to leave me with him." I say.
"Oh cool, what comic were you reading?" He asked Sammy.
"I don't know it wasn't my one from home, Avery, when you come again can you bring the ones I haven't read?"
"Of course I will." I say.

Spider-Man and Sammy spoke for a while, Mum, Dad and Ella were out for a while.
"Has your sister been nice?" He asked Sammy.

"She's the best, even though she's always at school so I don't see her much, she tells me everything about school, her teachers, her friends. Everything. She said that she'll try and be home more but I don't t want her to, she likes school, especially English, she tells me stories and everything, she wants to be a writer but she thinks she's not good enough, she makes me books, drawing characters and everything, I always tell her she's amazing but I can tell she never believes me."

There was silence.
"Oh, well maybe she doesn't believe that she's good, maybe she needs more confidence."
"That's what my mum said to her."
"Well, I bet she is good then, I'm gonna go alright?"
"Okay bye bye spidey."
"Bye..." He said before leaving.

Tom
There was no way I didn't know, well of course not I didn't know everything about Avery and didn't need to, though Sammy told me she's not very confident with her work, but I think her writing is really good, and I mean it.
I arrived back to the hotel and got changed, god I hope she's okay, I feel so bad for her, her work is so good and she doesn't think that then I don't know what to do about that, she needs to build cofidence, it may take time for her but I think her writing could get her places, real big places. Authour, Journalist, alot of places, she just needs to know she is amazing.

Avery
We stayed at the hospital for ages, mum, dad and Ella came back at 3pm, we stayed until 5:30pm.

Tom-How was the hospital today?
Me-It was really good, he saw Spider-Man, his favrioute person so he was okay.
Tom-So he was fine?
Me-Yeah, is it okay if you pick me up tomorrow at 5pm?
Tom-Of course.
Me-Okay, thank you Tom.
Tom-You're welcome.

We arrived home, Mum and I sat on the sofa.
"So who dropped you off last night?" She asked.
"Oh a friend..."
"What's the name of this friend then?" She asks again.

Shit what am I supposed say? What do I say? The truth?!

"Lucas..."

What a shitty idea to say.

"Ooh Lucas, that's a boy's name."

"Really? I thought he was a girl. Of course he's a boy, just a friend though, not anything else, plus I don't need it to be anything else let alone want it to be anything else."

"What's he like?"

I can't describe Lucas, he's an idiot. Guess I gotta talk about Tom instead.

"He's nice, smart, in my english class, he has okay music taste and he's a good guy overall."

"He seems nice, how long have you known him?" She asks more, jeez she's nosey today, I can't tell her everything.

"Less than a year."

"Hm, nice." Thank god she didn't ask anymore.

Mum and I watched tv for a while, until it got late and mum fell asleep on the sofa.

The next day.
I was going to the hospital on my own today, mum and dad needed a break, Ella was out with her friends and then I'm being picked up by Tom at 5pm to take us back to London.
I used mum's car to drive and made sure I bought Sammy's comic book with me so he didn't have to read the ones in the hospital, so I bought him a couple.
I arrived and made my way to his room.

"Hey bud, how are you?" I ask sitting on the chair beside him.
"I'm good, where is mummy and daddy?" He asked.
"They're at home, they needed to rest, but I have your comics." I say giving him them.
"Thank you Avery, can you pass me my glasses please?"
"Sure bud," I say passing him his black round glasses andd then smoothing down his brown hair, which was the same as mine, the only difference was that my hair was longer.
He was sat in silence flipping through the pages, a bit like me at the dorm rooms, he looks like he has the same concentrating face as me. I took out my phone from my bag.

1 new message from 'Emma'

E-Hey! How is Sammy, and have you given him a hug?
A-He's okay and yes I gave him a big hug from you.
E-Thank you, he'll get through this, he will, I just have a feeling that he will fight it.
A-Thank you Emma, I'll be home tonight.
E-Who dropped you off?
A-If I tell you the truth, you have to promise you won't be silly about this.
E-Oh my god, it's that professor isn't it!?
A-Yeah...
E-What's he like, tell me EVERYTHING.
A-His real name is Tom and he is like the nicest man I've met ever.
E-Okay, cool, he is definetly the man of your dreams and I'll let you get on with Sammy, text mev when you get in the car with Tom.
A-Okay, see ya.

I look over to Sammy who had fell asleep so I took off his glasses and put his comic on the side, then putting his blanket over him. He looked so peaceful when he was asleep, poor guy.

Then there was a knock.
"Come in." I say. Then saw Tom standing at the door.

So here is the chapter, sorry for making you wait but I have school now so I hope you enjoyed.
