Johnny's hope

Good and evil

Johnny jumped off his skateboard as he arrived at the prison. He put it into his backpack and went inside the prison. As he went in he noticed Ella. "Johnny! You're here!" "Oh hi Ella. Or should I say officer Skies?" "Round the guards officer Skies but if not Ella" "got it" "you here to see your dad?" Johnny sighed then said,"yeah. Why else would I be here?" "Oh Johnny how's your arm?" "Still sore. Still as bad as before" " you sure you don't want me to take you to get it looked at?" "Don't worry after I'm done here I will check when I've to go to rehearsals then get it looked at" "that's good to know but I can't believe you know Dara!" "Oh yeah forgot about that. And yeah me and Dara been best friends for ages. He tells me everything. Including his crush" "ooh who is it?" "Not supposed to tell. Sorry" Just before they could continue their conversation Johnny's dad came out and Ella went to do her job. Johnny went over, sat down and picked up the phone. His dad was first to speak. "Johnny is something wrong?" "No dad. What makes you think that?" "You look exhausted. Like you've been working way too hard lately. Then again what shouldn't  I expect from a brilliant performer like you. Eh Johnny?" "That's a day in the life of someone like me dad" "Jonathan something is wrong and I want you to tell me what it is!" "Dad! Don't call me by my real name in front of them! (Especially not her)" he had whispered the last bit to himself but his dad knew not to call him by his real name in public. Everyone knew him as Johnny. But his dad wanted answers and Johnny didn't feel ready to tell him. "I will tell you tomorrow" Johnny winced at the next part. "Jonathan I want answers now!" "Okay. I hurt my arm and (whispers) I met a girl and I've feelings for her" "oh is that it? Wait...you hurt your arm?!?" "Shush please! I don't want anyone to know!" Then Johnny just gave up. "Anyone to know what Johnny? Is something wrong?" "No Rosita I'm fine honestly" "good afternoon ms Brown" "hello Pete" "my son was just saying about something to me. Is there a reason why you are here?" "I wanted to let you know how well your son has been doing. On stage" "okay thank you but first I need to speak to Johnny" "okay" "Johnny why didn't you tell me before about your arm? And why are you sitting like that?" Johnny had been sitting, resting his head on his hand. He was so tired but he was trying to stay awake for his dad. "You know something Johnny. Go home. Get some rest and come back to me tomorrow and we will talk about your arm" Johnny couldn't have been more thankful for what his dad said. Lately he found he could trust his dad a lot more...he turned to leave but not before officer Skies stopped him. "Are you okay Johnny? Is your arm bothering you?" "No it's not. Just don't feel well is all. I'll text you later okay?" Johnny could tell Ella was worried for him. He was never like this. He heard her sigh then say, "okay". Johnny then went through the doors to go home. And on his way out he seen Rosita looking at him the same way Ella did. With a extremely worried expression. But then she had to go in to see his dad. He slowly grabbed his skateboard out from his bag then started riding home, forgetting all about getting his arm checked....
