There were three guests staying at my house. It was a married couple and their son. We knew them because the man was my mom's, brother's best friend!

They had visited my house once before. The son was my age. Currently he was off on an errand.

I was on the couch reading a book. My parents and his parents were watching the local news channel.

Suddenly

The boy's name was said on the screen and I quickly put the book down. Was he okay?

"BREAKING NEWS, Aaron Parrish (not his real name) was attacked by a gang of three robbers. He emerged successful with a few cuts and a sprained wrist. Out of the six items in his possession he managed to keep four of them safe".

His mom burst out crying and so did my brother. I don't like seeing people in tears. I went over to comfort him and tell him everything was alright.

A knock was heard on the door. Everyone rushed to it and dad quickly unlocked it. "I'm so glad to see you!", his mom said giving him a gigantic hug.

His father followed and soon there were six people hugging him. We all released. He started tearing a bit and said, "my arm is sprained, I think, I can't move it".

With that, we took him to a hospital.

"Hey Zaria", he said weakly. "Yeah", I replied. "I saved you a chocolate chip cookie", he said with a small smile.

My eyes teared and I gave him a hug. He returned the hug. "Thank you", I said. "Your welcome", he replied.
