Through The Trial

Chapter 4

Monday morning me and dad had a talk about college.
"Why did you never tell me before" my dad said.
"Because I didn't want to hurt you. I do love you but I've always wanted to be a doctor and it keeps me closer to mom." I said.
My mom had died of cancer when I was six. "Ok get ready for school and get Jones work today please."
"Yes sir" I said that was his way of ending a conversation.
I went to school everyone was of course talking about Jones being out of the hospital. It was the biggest new piece of gossip this school has had since his hospitalization. The class before lunch were all let's talk about courage. It all has to do with being brave and standing up to anyone you need to. So basically it all made me think of was Jones. At lunch it was no easier. Many people were coming up to me telling me how brave Jones was. When I finally got home I went to my room and I broke down. They think this is hard on him it's just as hard on me. A few minutes later Jones walked by and knock.
"Hey can I come in." He said.
"Yeah" I said.
He walked in and hugged me. I stated to cry even harder.
"Hey it's ok. I'm okay you won't be alone. We will stand by each other." He said and then let me cry.
When dad came home. He asked if we were ready for dinner. We came down. We ate my favorite meal popcorn chicken and Mac and cheese don't judge the way my dad makes it is amazing it makes me feel happier is a different kinda way. I gave Jones his homework and am going to help him with it. We get done with most of it well through tonight's when he stops for a second.
"Why did you become my friend." He said.
"Well at the time my mom had just died I felt alone like no one could understand the way I felt one reason is no one would listen or even just let me cry, you did and the better I got to know you the more and more I liked you." I said.
"Thanks I needed to know that everyone wasn't using me. I get that feeling that people only like me because my home life the way I was raised and the money I have I've always felt pitied. "He said.
I let a small smile he was being open, one of the many things I love about him.
"What" he said, he always caught me.
"Your just amazing." I said and like always we got back to work in a little over a month we will both be graduating and who knows what will happen. I told him I'll get his work for tomorrow too that way he wouldn't be behind.
"Thank"he said and took his medication and went to bed. So did I.
