Chapter 17

(Daniel)

After convincing my parents that I just had to skip school and go with James they agreed.

My logical reason: James was all alone and someone his age wasn't maybe that bad.

So I was sitting in the waiting area and waited for my dad to tell me what was with James' leg.

Time passed by.

"Daniel?" my dad looked through the door.

"Yes?"

"Come with me."

I followed my dad to one of the rooms. We entered and I saw James sitting on the bed.

He looked nervously at me.

I hurried over to him.

Okay, I liked him.

"What's the result?" I asked.

James started crying instead of a replying. I pulled him into a tightly hug.

"Dad?"

"Look, we'll try our best with the leg, but I can't promise a thing."

"And what are you going to do?"

"We'll fix the knee first of all. Then a few weeks later we'll fix the thigh."

"What's with his knee?"

"The patella was damaged once and it wasn't fixed, so we have to do that now. And he was walmking around with a meniscal tear."

"What?! How's that possible?"

I looked at James.

"Okay, a nurse will pick him later."

"You'll surgery today already?"

"Of course!"

He left.

"D-daniel" he sobbed.

"James, it'll be alright. At least the pain will go away."

"Yeah..."

I don't know for how long we stayed there in silence, but maybe this silence was the best damn thing ever.

Peacefully.

"Daniel?"

"Yes?"

"Your father said he probably can't fix it. Maybe I'm never able to walk again."

"That won't happen, James. You'll be able to walk without the pain. I promise."

"Don't promise something you can't keep."

"But I can keep this."

He chucked quietly.

"Better?"

"Yes, thank you."

I smiled.

Something was magical about him. He was a special snowflake. How could I ever hurt him?

Dumbass you are, Daniel.

There was this strong connection we had. Like brothers.

I know we just met.

But if this was a relationship I'd call it love at the first sight.

But this was none.

Can you call it friendship at the first sight?

It's not even true.

I told him I hated him.

What wasn't true.

I sighed.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing..."

"Sure? It doesn't seem like nothing."

"Just feeling guilty..."

"Why?"

I sighed again.

"Why, Daniel? You don't have a single reason to feel guilty."

"I have..."

"Because of me?"

"Yes. I still feel ashamed for what I did."

"I don't even know what you're taking about" he grinned.

Then a nurse walked in.

"You have to put this on and then I'll come back in a few minutes" she told James and handed him one of those ugly hospital gown.

You know the white things with the brown dots.

They're just terrible.

The nurse left.

"God" James groaned.

"Hey, it's for your own health."

"But they are like... Shit."

"Come on, just put it on."

He got up and hobbled into the bathroom.

Soon he'd be able to walk. And that made me happy.

We were on the same wavelength, that's to say.
