Pheobe's p.o.v

As soon as Henry looked at me like that, I new he wanted an explanation. ray was still standing there which made it more awkward.

"I'll be outside if you need me." Ray said as he headed towards the door. Henry was still looking at me.

"My parents... are in jail?" He asked halfheartedly. I didn't want to make eye contact with him but I did anyway. "Henry, the reason your in the hospital was because of your parents, I was protecting you." He looked down.

"I caught them abusing you!!" I yelled which got Henry's attention. He still didn't answer or anything, but I realized he was still hook up to the heart monitor and it was going all over the place.

I looked at the monitor and then at him. he said, "You didn't have to call the cops on them! I bet they have a reason!" I glared at him and said.

"THERE IS NO GOOD REASON FOR THIS HAPPENING HENRY!" I snapped.

He didn't even look startled at all, he looked like... he was used to it... probably because he is....

Even though he had no emotion, I still had the need to apologize. "Look Henry, I'm--" I got interrupted by the nurse walking in. "Sorry to interrupt but Henry, we will like to see you outside to take your ex-rays." She said opening the door for him. He nodded and didn't even take a glance at me. Is he really this mad at me? I thought I did the right thing. But apparently not to Henry.

After Henry left, I was sitting on the chair next to the bed by myself lost in my thoughts. Until I heard Henry's friend or boss walk through the door looking around. "Uh where did Henry go?" He asked. "The nurse took him outside for his ex-rays." My voice cracked as I spoke. He just nodded and sat on a chair next to me. I really wished he didn't because I was really feeling uncomfortable since I don't really know him. also, I just didn't feel like talking right now.

"is Henry okay?" He asked to break the silence. My eyes shot up at him and I said, "Physically? I guess, emotionally? Not so much..." I said quietly. "Why? What happened? He asked. "Well, I saw how he was always getting injured so I decided to check to see what was going on at his house but I saw he was getting abused by his parents... then..." I stuttered because I was partly on the urge of tears coming out of my eyes, but then realized there was tears coming out of my eyes. I wiped them before ray noticed but he already did.

I was looking down the whole time not making eye contact untill I felt a light touch on my shoulders. ray was trying to make eye contact but I wouldn't let him.

"Pheobe? Right? He asked. I just nodded. "Knowing what you did for your friend is... incredible, and you absolutely did the right thing..." He explained.
"Then why didn't Henry think so?" I asked.
"I'm sure he does too but he just lost his family, do you know what that feels like?" He asked. As soon as he asked that, I just had a terrible flashback to when I was at prom and dark Mayham was going to destroy hiddenvile and my family. just thinking back wondering what would of happened if I didn't destroy dark mayham, if I didn't save hiddenvile, what what of happened to my family. I can't imagine losing mom or dad, Billy or Nora, Chloe, even Max. I can't imagine what Henry must be going through. he never had what I had, a real, loving family...

I was snapped out of my thoughts by Ray was shaking my shoulder and calling my name. "Phoebe?" I looked at him and he gave me a questioning look. I just shook my head and looked down.

"No, I don't..."
