A Normal Kid By Day, Duck By Night (The Mighty Ducks)

Chapter 7

*knock knock knock*

I open the door and see Charlie outside. "Hey Charlie," we hug each other, "thanks for coming."

"Ah, no problem. I'm really sorry about what happened to Garrett."

"It's okay. So, are you ready to go?"

"Ya sure."

I yell to my mom and dad, "Guys, hurry up, were ready."

Dad comes out of his office next to the kitchen and mom runs down the stairs with her purse, then grabs the keys off the key holder on the wall by the door.

"Let's go guys." Mom says guiding us to the door.

We all get in the car and turn on the radio. It is on channel 11, Z100-NY and the song that they are playing is a throwback song Party in the USA. Charlie and I sing along with it.

I PUT MY HANDS UP PLAYING MY SONG AND BUTTERFLIES FLY AWAY. YAAAA YAA ITS A PARTY IN THE USA

After that song, everything was quiet except the radio is still on with songs and commercials. It's kinda a long ride without having fun

~at the hospital~

We walk in to the hospital and go to the front desk. "I'm looking for the room of Garrett Cade." Mom says to the lady sitting at the desk with a name tag that says 'Scarlett'. The lady types his name into the computer and sees what room he is in.

Scarlett says, "Garrett is in room 425."

Mom replies with a "thank you" and we leave to see my brother.

We get into the room and we see Garett sleeping with machines hooked up to him. Tears form into my eyes but I hold them back. Doctor Avery walks in and says, "Hello everyone. What a surprise."

Dad picks it up saying, "Hey doctor. How's he doing?"

"He's doing very well, actually. We might shorten the time to probably around one month for him in the coma. What happened to him is not as serious as we thought it was."

That's a sigh of relief. My brothers fine.
Oh shoot, I just remembered something. I have school tomorrow. Ugh... I'll just go through it. School might help get my mind off Garrett.

~after the hospital~

We get home and it's about 1:30 and we are hungry.

"Hey Charlie," my mom starts, "do you wanna stay for lunch? I'm going to order pizza."

"OH YEA PLEASE CHARLIE." I say excitedly.

"Ya sure. My mom is at work right now and I don't want to hang around the apartment or diner all day. Thank you."

"No problem." My Mom and I say at once.

We get the pizza and let me just tell you, it didn't really last very long. After eating, Charlie and I went outside with my dog. Oh yea, my dogs name is Pretzel. When we got him, Charlie, Garrett, and I were in the living room eating pretzels and Pretzel came up and started eating pretzels out of the bag. That's how we got his name.

Charlie and I threw the ball for Pretzel for a little while then he got tired. I'm really glad to have a friend like Charlie.
