Connor's POV

The ambulance came and picked up Jeremy. I watched as they drove away as I nervously figited with my fingers. Devon's mom went in the house and Devon and I sat there on the porch in awkard silence. I looked over at him and he was looking at me before looking away quickly. I look away also and let out a deep sigh.

His mom came back outside. "Come on boys." she walked to her car. Devon followed her quickly and I slowly follow behind. We get in the car and his mother starts driving out of the driveway. It was silent before his mom spoke up. "Why'd you do that, Devon?" she asked softly.

"He was kissing Connor." Devon grumbled in response. "But does that give you the right to stab him?" she raised her voice a little. "Are you and Connor dating?" I thought for a second. Devon had never asked me out. He had only told me that he loved me. Devon turned his head to look out the window. He sighed. "No. I-I just-" I could hear in his voice that he was trying to hold back tears. "Just what?" His mom asked. "Nevermind..." He sniffled and rubbed his eyes. The rest of the ride was silent except for the sounds of Devon's sniffles.

We made it to the hospital and we get out of the car and walk inside. We ask the lady at the front desk about where Jeremy was and she told us he had just gotten here and that we would need to wait to see him. We sat in the waiting room. After about 20 mintues a lady enters the room and frantically ran up to the front desk. "I need to see my son." she rushed. "Okay what's his name ma'am?" "Jeremy Sanders." That must be Jeremy's mother. Devon's mom must have realized it too cause she stood and made her way over to her.

I look over at Devon and he held his face in his hands. I reach a hand over and touch his shoulder. He flinched away from me and his head snapped up. "Don't touch me." I sit my hand in my lap. "Dev-" he cut me off. "Don't talk to me either." He snapped at me. I shut my mouth a didn't say anything else. We sit in silence as we wait for his mom to finish talking to Jeremy's mom.

Not to long later three police officers came into the room. They looked around before walking over towards Devon and I. Devon looked up and I noticed that he stiffened. "Are you Devon Adams?" One asked looking down at his notepad. He nodded quietly. "We need to ask you a few questions. Come with us." Devon stood and follwed them to a corner of them room where no one was at the moment. They whispered for a couple of minutes before letting Devon come back to sit. He sat and put his face in his hands again. The police went over to Devon's and Jeremy's mom and started to speak to them. After a few minutes the police left after giving Devon's mom and slip of paper.

A docter came out into the waiting room and walked over to Jeremy's mother. He said something to her and then she followed after him. Devon's mom came over to us. " You got lucky. There will only be charge for a minor weapon." I let out a breath of relief that I didn't realize I was holding. "She said we are allowed to see him. And Devon, I expect you to apologize." Devon groaned. We stood and made our way to Jeremy's room.

In Jeremy's room he was lying on the bed while his mom held I hand telling him how glad she was that he was okay. Jeremy looked over at us when we entered. Devon's mom turned to Devon. "Devon, do you have something you want to say?" Devon looked down at the ground. "I'm sorry for hurting you. I didn't mean to I just..." he starts to shake and sob. "I'm sorry." he repeated it over and over. My heart ached seeing him like this.

"Hey hey, don't cry. I'm fine. You didn't hit any vital organs. I'll be fine. I understand that you were just trying to protect Connor." Jeremy assured him. Devon took some deep breaths to calm himself. It was quiet in the room for a moment. "Well we better leave. Come on boys." We followed Devon's mom to the door. She turned back before we left. "Again, I am so sorry for what happened." Jeremy mom waved it off. "It's fine. I'm just glad my baby's okay."

We left the hospital and went back to Devon's house. He immedialy ran to his bedroom. I sighed. "I'm sorry, Connor." he mom sighed before walking away mumbling something about medication. I lifted an eyebrow at that but shrugged it off before going back to the living room t retrieve my things.
