Its been about a week now, we are all talking to each other again, like happy friends, it is Sunday a usual happy day. Me being locked up in my room, not allowed to leave my home, unless I go to school. Drago is in his usual corner, eating a mouse though.
I am just staring out my window.
Though I'm stuck I am quite happy here. I could sneak out but my biggest fear is of height so I don't dare crawl out my window on the second floor.
My phone rings.
Thinking its Darren and Steve trying to prank call me again I answer without bothering with the called I.D.
"Hello?" I ask.
"Oh Tux? Is that you?" Recognizing the voice being Mrs. Shan - Darren's mom - my heart sort of sinks.
"Oh, yes it is, why is something wrong?"
"Don't panic, but Steve is in the hospital right now."
"Wh-what?!" I yell. "How is Darren? Is he safe?"
"He is perfectly fine.... physically that is. He had a small panic attack earlier though."
"Where are you guys?"
"Yes, we are at the North Point Hospital."
"What... What happened?"
"Apparently Darren had a very poisonous spider and it bit Steve... I'm sure Steve will be fine though."
"Is he gonna die?"
"I just said he'd be fine..."
"I'll be right there." I quickly hang up and run out of my room and down stairs panting. My parents and my oldest brother is down there. "I.. I need to go." I pant.
"No you don't, your not leaving this house." My dad says.
"You will take me to the hospital now!"
"Are you hurt?!" My mom asks tuning to me to look for any injuries.
"No! My friend is in the hospital!"
"OK the let's go!" Ethan yells pulling me out of the house, I get in the passenger's seat and he gets in the driver's. He drives off and I'm crying.
"What happened?" He asks.
"He.. He was bit.. By a spider.. A deadly one.. He.. He.. He.."
"Its OK don't need to tell me."
"He's dying!" I start crying harder.
The rest of the ride was silent. As soon as we got to the hospital I ran in and the first thing I saw was Darren.
"Tux.." He begins.
"Darren! You idiot!" I yell. "What happened?"
"I'm sorry.. I had Madam Octa.. And.. She bit Steve."
"How'd you get her?"
"I stole her.. but I didn't know she would bite him. I swear it was an accident, please.... please don't hate me."
"I'll have to decide whether to hate you or not later, for now where is his room?"
He tells me Steve's room and I go to it. When I got there everyone was sitting outside the door and was crying. I still had tears running down my face. I wiped them away, but they kept on flowing.
Why is this my life...? I'm about to lose one of my best friends.. Why?
