In a hospital 🏥, in a ward, a boy wakes up. A woman hugs him and kisses on his face and say

Woman - Thank God Michael you got up at last

Man - Katy let him breathe for a good moment then you show your motherly affection (teasingly)

Katherine - Shut up Joe (fake sternly) you never try to understand a mother's worry

Joseph - Don't say like that, if I didn't worry about you, I never would have taken leave from my work and be here with you and Michael

Michael smiles ☺️ weakly at his parents argument. Joe say

Joe - I will get the doctor

Kate - Ok (nodes her head)

After the doctor check ups, Michael ask

Michael - When I could go home and school? (impatiently)

Doctor - In few days (smiling 🙂).... Nurse Gina (seeing a nurse) get something for the kid to eat

Nurse Gina - Yes doctor Elliot (nodes her head)

After the doctor and the nurse left the ward. Michael see himself for the first time. There was a bandage on his wounded leg and rest of his body did not have anything. He touched his nose and did not feel anything. Katherine sits on the bed and say

Kate - Thank God nothing badly happened to you

Michael see her and he ask

Michael - Where is Eddie?

Katherine - Joe took him back to the house as he was completely fine.

Michael - How did you find us?

Joe - We found your bag on top of the mountain

Michael - You found my bag? (shocked 😲) I thought it fell in the endless darkness

Joseph - We found you both by the help of a helicopter. You both were unconscious and shivering because of the cold and you both were soaked in rain

The door got open and Gina keeps the tray of food on the side table. Kate say

Katherine - I will take care from here

Gina nodes her head with a smile 🙂 and left the room. Joseph helps Michael to sit on the bed with the support of the pillow, Katherine feeds Michael. Michael chuckles and say

Michael - Mama I just broke my leg not my hands (smiling 😀)

Kate - The doctor said you lost too much weight so I don't trust you

Joe - Katie, I am leaving for my work now. Call me if you need anything and later the kids will come and see him

Kate - Drive safely and slowly as the roads are bad

Joe - Ok (nodes his head)

Joseph left the hospital for his work. Gina comes in the room and puts a injection in the drips bag and slowly Michael fell asleep 😴. Few hours later, Michael was talking to his siblings. Randy say

Randy - Mike you are so jealous

Michael - Why do you say like that? (confused 😕)

Randy - I was getting a bit pampered from mom and you got hurt like this (whining childishly)

Michael laughs 😂 and Janet ask

Janet - How is the leg pain?

Michael - Okay. How is school?

Marlon - Awesome and carefree without you (teasingly)

Rebbie - We are glad nothing serious happened to you

Jackie - We got worried about you when we got the call from the camping site

Michael - Where's Eddie? (curiously)

Jermaine - That fool did not want to come so we let it go as we didn't want to bring him here

Michael - Thanks for not bringing that back stabber here (a bit angrily 😠)

La Toya - What happened between you both? I also see and hear you both argue every now and then.

Michael breathes and sighs heavily to calm himself down and say

Michael - Eddie and I got into a fight and ended our friendship after that he started doing mean things and framing me for somethings I did not do.

Tito - Why did you end your friendship exactly?

Michael - Eddie.... He.... He started using me for the money. He would ask and sometimes take the money without my permission and spend it on himself and he lied a lot and did not pay me back when I really needed it

Tito - I knew that kid was a trouble since day one

Jermain - Good thing dad does not know about it

Rebbie - Why you did not tell us about it? (a bit sternly)

Michael - I thought I could handle it myself but I failed (sadly 😔)

Jermaine - Do you want us to talk about it to dad?

Michael shakes his head and say

Michael - Chris and I took care of it ourselves

La Toya - Does his parents know about it? (🤨)

Michael shakes his head and say

Michael - We thought to not to drag them in it as we wanted to sort it out ourselves

Rebbie - Marlon you keep extra close eye on that Eddie in school (strictly)

Marlon - Ok (nodes his head)

Katherine enter the room and say

Kate - Time for you kids to go home now

The Jackson siblings groans in annoyance and irritation. Katherine say

Katherine - Kids are not allowed to stay in the hospital. (sternly and strictly) Jackie pick up your father as his car is broke down in his work place.

Jackie - Ok (nodes his head)

The Jackson siblings hugs and said their goodbyes to Michael and left the room. Katherine and Michael were talking about random things. A nurse enter the room and gives a paper and say

Nurse - Ma'am please get these medicines immediately

Katherine - Sure

The nurse left the room. Kate say

Kate - How am I going to leave you alone? (seeing Michael worried)

Michael - Mom I am not a small kid and I can be alone on my own

Katherine - What if you need anything? Doctor has told you not to move your leg even a slightest bit

Michael - Where do I want to go in the night?

Katherine - Who knows,.... you will take this as your opportunity to escape from here and go to your part time job (teasingly and jokingly}

Michael - Mmmoooommmm!!!.... (annoyed tone)

Suddenly they hear a voice say

Voice - I will make sure that your son does not do anything like that Mrs. Jackson (seeing Katherine)
