When I got home, mum was waiting for me. I had missed dinner and all the happiness that she showed at the sports day events had been wiped from her face.
'Where have you been?'
Dad stood behind her in support of her and I knew if dad had taken her side over this, I was in serious trouble.
'Well?'
'My friend. Patrick, he was taken to hospital'
She studied my face, attempting to determine if I was telling her the truth. The problem was, that we weren't permitted mobile phones at school and therefore I wouldn't have had any way of contacting her.
'It's true', Steven interrupted coming down the stairs with his electronic tablet in his hand, 'it's all over facebook'.
'It is?', I asked.
Mum looked from Steven to me and back. Dad walked up behind her and put his arm around her, 'at least he's safe'. She looked at him, she had probably had a whole lecture prepared for me and didn't know what to say.
'There's some food in the microwave for you', she eventually said and left towards the lounge holding dad's hand.
'Thanks mum'. I was relieved I didn't have to lie to her.
Once she left I sat on the stairs with Steven looking at the posts about Patrick.
