Eric came over to see if he could talk to Tommy. He gave Paul a dirty look as he headed out to the garden. "Tommy?" Where are you?" he called as he walked through the back yard. 

Eric  heard sniffling under the roses so he sat down near them. "I'm a bit too wide to squeeze under there with you so I'm gonna sit here, okay?"

Tommy poked his head out and saw Eric. "Why are you here?" 

"I know what happened in the hospital but I jut want you to tell me. Would you consider writing out a statement that I can file?"

"No, I already told Paul who apparently blabbed to you. I'm not doing it."

Eric reached out to squeeze Tommy's hand. "Look, I saw you staring at me at the party. I like you as a friend, nothing else, okay?" "If you think I'm hot and sexy like this then you're right but I don't wanna sleep with you."

Tommy turned red and looked away. "I just think you're kinda hot right now. Sorry." 

"Are you pregnant again?" blurted Eric. "You're only bold like this when you are."

Tommy started crying more. He finally crawled out of the roses and into Eric's lap. Putting his head on Eric's shoulder he finally finished crying. "Eric? I'm sorry. I'll file a report. Let me go shower and change." 

"You can do it online." said Eric as Tommy helped him up.

Eric took Tommy inside and to the bathroom. "Go on and shower and change. I'll take you when you're done."

Paul thanked Eric even though he knew Eric was mad about the whole situation.
