Chapter 17: Knuckles 

THOMAS' POV

I woke up, total opposite of yesterday. Now, I was getting used to have Indie missing. When would she come home? Was she really that upset about it? 

I stood up angrily. 

"DAMN IT!" I yelled, punching the door, which was a huge mistake. 

"CRAP!" I winced in pain, holding my knuckles. 

Oh no, they're all red and purple. My face was still screwed up from the pain. 

"MUM!" I called, opening the door with my other hand. 

My knuckles were throbbing. I could feel the pulse in my muscles. 

"MUM!" I yelled again, even louder than the first. 

She came running out. 

"What's wrong sweetheart!" She cried. 

"My knuckles," I replied, feeling the pain. 

I put my hand out in front of her, the colour becoming darker. 

"Oh my gosh Thomas, 'what did you do?" 

I sighed. 

"I punched the door," I said, letting out another sigh. 

She looked at me . . . . and sighed herself. She brushed her fingers across it and took my other hand to compare the difference. 

"This is definitely swollen,' she said. 'Can you move them?"

I shook my head. 

"It hurts to move them."

"Fine, come on then, 'I'll have to take you to the hospital."

I rolled my eyes. 

We both started walking downstairs but she stopped and turned around which made me suddenly stop. She pointed her finger at me. 

"But your still going to school," she said. 

I didn't mind this. At least I'd have something else to think about. 

Brendan and I both got dressed in our uniforms. I managed, sort of. But mum did my tie for me. ;)

I kept my hand close to my chest the whole time, although I didn't care about it all that much. 

Brendan and I were both sitting at the kitchen bench eating breakfast, my hand still close to my chest. 

"Come on, hurry up boys," mum said, grabbing her the keys, we put our things away and cleaned up before we raced out the door with mum and Manny too. 

"What happened to your hand Tommy?" She asked. 

I smiled at the name. 

"I, ah, hurt it," I replied, getting in the front seat. 

She got in the back with Brendan. 

"Do you want me to kiss it betta?" She said, popping the 'a' on better. 

"Sure Manny," I said, turning around in my seat and reaching out my hand. 

She grabbed it softly and gave it a soft kiss. 

"Thanks, 'it's a lot better," I said, turning back around. 

Mum pulled out of the driveway and we drove down the road. I didn't look at Indie's house.
