I shut my eyes and a tear drips down my cheak. I got a call saying my friend,Robert, got shot a few hours ago. I walk in the living room.
"Mom Rebecca I in the hospital" I cry.
"Oh my God! What happened?" She asks.
"I don't know. Mom can I please go visit her?" I beg.
"That's fine. Do u need me to drive you?" Mom asks.
  I shake my head. I run to my car. I check my phone to see where HE is. I called him Rebecca because he is transgender and not out to anyone but his friends. I don't know if he was shot because of that or because of the money he owes.
Last year he started to hang out with some guys. They aren't good people. These are people who sleep with guns because people want them dead.They pressured him into doing drugs and drinking. He eventually turned them in to the police. Unfortunately,the damage has already been done. Eversence then I've been trying to keep him clean.
I arrive to the hospital. When I get to his room I run to him and kiss his cheak.
  "Cass" he crokes.
"What happened? Who shot you?" I ask.
  "Cass" he repeats.
"Answer me" I whisper.
He blinks. He shakes he shakes his head. I pull a chair up to he's bed. I grab his hand. He closes his eyes.
"Robert,feel better" I whispe in his ear.
He nods his head. I smile.
I ask his mom if I can have a moment alone with him. Everyone leaves the room.
"Robert,who shot you?" I say while tear runs down my cheak.
"I don't know " he sits up "and frankly I don't care" he says.
"You don't care?" I say confused.

"They shot me once and they may shoot me again. It would be stupid if I try to find out who it was"
"I get it" I say.
"Did you bring it?" He asks with a grin on his face.
I open my book bag and pull out my iPod. Every time one of us are in the hospital we always bring somthing to listen to music on. I put a earbud in my ear and one in his. I lean back in my seat.
His mom walks in. How are you feeling Rebecca. I role my eyes and sigh.
"I'm fine" Robert replies sounding annoyed.
"Cassidy,don't you have school tomorrow? Shouldn't you be getting home?" She asks.
"Trying to get rid of me already?" I say with a smerk.
"No, I just thought that your parents would want you home"
She says quickly.
"My parents understands that I want to stay with my best friend" I reply.
I stay until Robert falls asleep. I was there until about 3 in the morning. When I get home I my bed. I don't brush my breath or even change for that madder. I fall right asleep.
I wake up at 6o'clock even though school doesn't start till nine. I want to bring Robert breakfast. I'll
I start to get dress. I put on fishnet stalkings and put a black skirt over it. I put on a black band shirt. I put on my combat boots. Then I put my dark brown hair into a messy bun. I do my makeup quickly. I put on black eyeshadow, blackeyeliner, mascara,and red lipstick. It looks good with my black nail polish on my left hand and red on my right.
I walk to the kitchen and I start making pancakes. After they are done I start on the biscuits. After that I put the food in containers. I also pack some stablerry jelly and some maple syrup.
When I'm done I start to drive to the hospital. I stop for some coffee. I order two cappuccinos.
I arrive at the hospital soon after. I go to his room. His
Is awake when get there.
"Your up early " I say.
"I never when to sleep. I fake slept" he tells me.
"Why?" I ask
"I couldn't sleep and you needed to" he explains.
I role over a tray to him. I put the food on it. I hand him his coffee.
"Cass,you didn't have to do this" he tells me.
"I wanted too" I say.
"Thank you so much!" He exclaims.
"Anything for you" I say.
We start to eat. When we finish I tell him I must leave.
  I start to drive to school.
"Shit!" I yell.
   I need to pick up Sarah. I speed to her house. When I arrive I bang on the door and ring the doorbell.
No on answers. I try to open the door. It's locked. I call Sarah's phone. She doesn't pickup. I try opening windows. They are all locker. I see her bedroom window open. I grab some clothing for her. I wake her up.
       "How did you get in here?" Sarah says as she rubs her eyes.
"The window" I reply with a grin.
        "My room is on the second floor" she tells me as if I don't know that.
          "Wow! I did not know that!" I say sarcastically.
"Okay then" she says as she gets out of bed.
          She grabs a shirt and starts to put it on.
        "No need for that. Change in the car" I demand.
"Okay" she says as she starts to brush her hair.
        "No brush your teeth,get your shit,and let's get the hell out of here.
       "I need to tease my hair" she tells me.
"Too bad, your not" I bark.
         I pick up her book bag. She brushes her teeth.
       "Lets go" I say as she walks to the door.
"I am" she says.
        "No,this way" I say as I jump down to the ledge then to the ground.
           "Okay" she says as she follows.
          We walk to the car. She gets dressed in the car.
           "Did you see Robert" I ask her.
"No,why?" She replies.         
          "He was shot yesterday" I explain.
"What? Why?" She asks.
       "I don't know" I say.
"Did you see him? Is he okay" she asks getting worked up.
 

    "Yes and sorta" I reply.
"Okay" she sighs.
      We arrive at school.
