A Date That Doesn't Happen

After I get home I go straight to my room and pack everything into my van including my bike and dog, Bud, my van is giant, you can fit anything in that vehicle, I got about ½ of my house into it. I get in the driver's seat of the van and take the drive through the congested city to the white house. At the gate I show my brand new I.D. to the guards. President Little greets me at the door with the rest of Avery's family. Avery has a twin brother Andrew, An eight year old brother Kaden, and a thirteen year old sister Lily. Avery's mom had passed away two years ago, two weeks before Justin was officially the president living with the kids in the white house. Avery led me to my room, where I stayed for a long time unpacking and looking around. When I get bored from staying in my room, I ask Samson for a tour of the home. The tour took longer than I had thought that it was going to. I call Avery to figure out where she was. She was in the media room, that was on the opposite side of the building than I was in, so I walk over to the room to talk to her. " Hey." I say as I find her watching a movie. " Hi, how are you?" " I'm doing great, just frazzled of how big this place is." " Yea I guess it is pretty big, you'll get used to it after a while." " You promise?" " Promise." " I think to celebrate that I am living with you now we should go out for a date." " I think that is a great idea. Where do you think we should go." "Let's go to the park, it looks nice in the summer."

" Okay sounds good I am going to get ready and meet you in the kitchen." she says to me standing up in her pajamas and messy hair.

I am waiting in the kitchen for Avery to meet me for our date in the park. After ten minutes of waiting Avery meets me downstairs, she is wearing the typical summer outfit, a tank top, shorts, and flip flops on her feet. I am wearing my short sleeved t-shirt, shorts that cover my knees, and Nike sandals. " Why did you have me meet you in the kitchen?" I ask, confused. " We are going to have a picnic in the park and then when we get back we are going to the pool." " Okay so what are we going to pack for the picnic?" " Something easy to pack and eat, some sandwiches, let's pack waters and gatorade for drinks, and snacks too." " Okay but let's not pack too much stuff because I was thinking we could ride our bikes there."

" Sure I like that idea." " Okay I will go get the double person bike or our cruising bikes?" " let's ride separate bikes." " Okay I will bring them to the front."

I go down the stairs to the garage to get the bikes. As I am going to get the bikes I feel, something that feels like a baseball bat, hit me in the back of my head. After the hit in the head I remember waking up on the ambulance going to the hospital, Avery is right beside me and on the other side is Mr.Little. " What happened? Why am I in the ambulance? Justin please tell me. Avery? Somebody?" The EMT on the ambulance starts to talk " Aaron, you were attacked while walking to the garage of your home. We are taking you to the hospital right now. You will be okay, I promise." After he tells me that I fall back asleep.
