Chapter Four:  Mikey

            I waited in the lunch line for what seemed to be forever. I reached the lunch lady and typed in my lunch code then walked out of the kitchen. I just so happen to have the worst luck ever, I ran right into Dominic, the biggest jerk ever, also the leader of the jocks. He stared down at me as I sat on the ground with his food fight face. He picked me up by the collar of my shirt and said, “That was a big mistake, man.” Just as he swung his fist back, I kicked him in the balls. I hit the ground with a thump and he began to chase me back to my lunch table. As I ducked behind Gerard’s chair, he got up and punched Dominic in the face. They exchanged a few more punches when Dominic was soon on top of Gerard. I just sat there watching him beat the shit out of my brother. I was in shock. Lyn-Z got up from her chair and kicked him to the ground. Just then, one of the supervisors grabbed Dominic and dragged him to the Principal’s office. Gerard was lying still on the chilled ground of the cafeteria. “Gerard! Are you okay? Wake up man!” I said slapping his face lightly hoping he would wake. Lyn-Z and I carried him to the nurse’s office. “Thank you but we can take it from here.” Said the nurse. “No that’s my brother.” I said sitting on the bed next to Gerard. He was still passed out and I was beginning to get worried. After about an hour of trying to wake him up, they finally called the hospital to send an ambulance. I rode in the ambulance with Gerard, but Lyn-Z had to finish classes. They wouldn’t allow her to drive along because she wasn’t related to us. I thought it was stupid but I guess those are the rules. I followed the doctors while they pushed his unconscious body into a room and set him in a hospital bed. The first things they did was check his blood pressure and draw three tubes of blood. I am sure that he is glad he is asleep for this, considering he has a fear of needles. “Mikey, where am I?” he finally asked opening his eyeliner filled eyes. “The hospital, they say Dominic broke your nose and just caused a lot of bleeding. Nothing that bad, oh and he also knocked you out for quite awhile.” I said. He just stayed silent until they gang came bursting through the doors. I could hear the secretaries yelling at them for just walking in without saying anything, also for being too loud. “Oh my god you are okay?” Frank said in panic. “I am fine, don’t worry about me. Ugh…I’m just wondering, did anyone bring me my cigarettes?” he asked feeling guilty. “Here, use mine.” Lyn-Z offered. “Thanks.” he said and smoked three in fifteen minutes. All of us stayed the night with Gerard, except for our mom. She has to go to bed early because her meds knock her out. I woke up the next morning and everyone was still sleeping, except for Gerard.
