"Sweetie you are bisexual." My mum says suddenly getting serious.

"S-so I broke up this family?"

"No sweetie you cant help who you love. Your father broke up this family, he wasn't a nice man it will be better now. We only need you and I and we will be fine."

"C-can we go home?"

"Yes we can sweetie. Let me get the nurse to do the last check up and we will be on our way home."

With that she got up to go find the nurse leaving me to process the new information. I'm bi? That dream was of my father? Who was the second one of?

My mum and the nurse walk in and begin the check up.

"Does this hurt? What about this? This? You have to tell me if you feel pain."

"I don't feel any pain it just feels like you were poking me."

"I kinda was doing that but how about this?" She says poking me in the face.

"My face is obviously in so much pain." I say with my voice laced with sarcasm.

"Listen young man I just want to make sure you aren't in pain."

"By poking my cheek?"

"I am a trained professional."

"Really?"

"Yes." she says while trying to tickling me.

"I can tell."

"Well you are all good to go I can get a wheel chair or crutches which would you prefer?"

"Um crutches might be easier. We have stairs in our house." my mum adds in.

"I will get them and you can start changing."

I get out of bed with some trouble and walk over to the bathroom. In my hands are black skinny jeans and a dark gray pullover sweatshirt. I slip off my hospital gown and pull in the sweat shirt. I look to put my jeans on when I see this lines littering my hip. Did I do that? What would cause me to hurt myself like that?

"Everything okay in there?" My mum calls in.

"Um I can't get my jeans over my cast."

"Oh I forgot I'm sorry. we don't live to far away do you want to put the gown back on and wait for me to get a pair of sweatpants?"

"Yes please."

"I'll just let the nurse know and I will be back before you know it."

I heard the door to my room open, saying she left. I look at my arms as I change back. I notice the same red lines carved into my skin but this time there are more. Some look fresh and some look old. On my leg they seem the newest and the deepest. On my stomach there are a bunch of dark bruises and I have a black eye. I must have gotten that from the car hitting me.

I quickly put the gown on, not wanting to think about the cuts. But my mind kept wondering to them. About 10 minutes after I got back in the hospital bed my mum walks in with a pair of black sweat pants and handed them to me. Was everything I owned black. What was wrong with other colors.

I quickly change trying not to hit my leg on anything. I go back into the room to see my mum and the nurse whispering about something. When they see me come into the room they become silent. What were they talking about? Was it about me?

"Are you ready to go home sweetie?"

"I would love to." she chuckles at my eagerness. Carrie hands me the crutches and gives me a quick tutorial on how to use them. I stumbled a few times and almost fell on my face but I think I was pretty good at it.

The car ride home was quiet and I was trying to remember the road but I couldn't. When we pulled up to what I'm guessing is our house there was a boy on the front porch.

"Who is that? I thought you said I didn't have any siblings."

"I think that's your friend he kept asking where you were and if you were okay."

I hobble over to the stairs with the crutches and he stands up to help me but I ignore his attempts and sit next to where he was.

"Your mum told me that you probably wouldn't recognize me but I am Pj." he says with a hopeful look in his eyes. He has green eyes like the ones in my dream and curly hair that fits him.

"You seem really familiar. Are we friends?"

"Yeah I came to this school not to long ago and we became friends."

"Cool so tell me about yourself Peej."

"You remember my nickname! Well I like video games, I moved there like less than a week ago, and I only have like three friends."

"Do I know them?"

"Um yeah they are Phil and Chris."

"That name sounds familiar."

"It probably does he is really nice when you get to know him."

What is today?"

"It's Thursday."

"I think I might go to school tomorrow."

"You should they miss you."

"Really?"

"Well yeah of course they do."

"It's getting late I should probably go inside." I start to get up and he hurries to his feet and helps me up. I get up and thank him and walk inside taking a shower. My mum brings food to my room and I pick at it not being hungry enough to eat it. I quickly fall asleep and go off into a dream.
