The Call

It was 5 minutes into the car ride and Dicky was completely silent.
" Dicky... " Ann said.
" What? " Dicky said quietly
" Are you going to tell me what happened? "
" Mom I fell down some stairs that's all! "  he screamed.
" Dicky there's no need to scream. "
" Mom just leave me alone! " Dicky said trying to hold back the tears.

They arrived home and Dicky ran straight to his bedroom. He locked the door and climbed up the ladder to his bed and cried into his pillow. After a while, there was a knock on the door.
" Dicky? "
" Who is it? " Dicky said sitting up wiping away his tears.
" It's Mom. Can I come in? "
" Mom, I sorta wanna be alone right now... "
" Oh....um....okay, I'm going to get your brothers. I won't be long and there's some cookies in the kitchen. "
" Okay Mom, but what about Dawn? "
" She's got soccer practice. "
" Oh okay, see ya later "
" Love you Dicky. "
" Love you too. " Dicky said feeling bad

He heard the front door close and decided to head downstairs to get some cookies. As he was pouring milk his phone rang.
" Hello? "
"Hey it's Babe. How are you? "
" I'm doing okay I guess, how did you get my number? "
" Ricky gave it to me, I wanted to know if you were doing okay? "
" Yeah I'm doing good Thankyou, but I don't think I'll be coming in for the rest of the week. "
" Aw that's a shame. But I have good news! Dawn invited Kenzie, Mae and I to a sleepover on Friday. I'll be coming over to your house! I could come and see you! How cool would that be? "
" That's sound great! I guess I'll see you on the weekend! " Dicky said with relief.
" Yeah! Um... See ya! " Babe said ending the call.
Dicky ended the phone with a smile on his face. He headed into the living room to watch tv.

A couple of minutes later Nicky And Ricky came through the door.
" Hey guys. " Dicky said
" Hey Dicky, how ya feeling? " Nicky asked.
" I'm doing good. " Dicky replied
" Cool. Um I'm starving I'm going to make a sandwich. "
" Can you make me one please Nicky. " Ricky asked
" Sure, I'll make you a cheese and cucumber sandwich. "
" Thanks! " Ricky said.
Ricky sat next to Dicky and looked into his eyes.
" Um, can I help you? " Dicky said.
" Spill it. "
" Spill what? "
" I know you like Babe. "
" Whaaaatt? " Dicky said in a high slow voice.
" Oh stop it Dicky! I know you do. I could hear how happy you were when she told you she's coming over Friday, I was standing right next to her and I heard the whole conversation an- "
" OKAY YES I DO! " Dicky screamed covering his face with his hands.
" I knew it! " Ricky said standing up.
" Ricky C'mon you have to hurry up and eat so you can go meet Mom at Get Sporty. "
" Okay I'm coming. "
" Yo dude! " Dicky said standing up
" Please don't tell anyone! Especially Babe. "
" I won't bro, promise! " Ricky said walking into the kitchen.

Dicky headed back upstairs and took a nap.
