On My Mind..

"I'm not going to suspend you, I went over the cameras in the cafeteria.. it was self defence," Mr. Dalton, the principal, says.
I nod.
"But?..," I mumble.
I know there is a but coming up.
"But nothing," he says.
I look up in surprise.
"Tyler is expelled along with his friends," he says.
"How is Jake?," I ask after a few moments of silence.
"You will have to go to the hospital yourself to figure out because I honestly don't know."
I nod and stand up, knowing the conversation was coming to an end.
"You are dismiss.. I'm sorry for all the trouble he caused you."
"It wasn't you fault Sir," I say.
Mr. Dalton smiles and I walk out of the room. Leah stands up from the bench and hugs me. I hug her back.
"Well?," she questions.
"Everything's going to be okay," I say.
Her smile widened.
"Let's go to the hospital to see Jake," I say.
She nods and we walk out to my moms car.
I should really get my own car.
--
At the hospital, we head down to Jakes room after checking to see which one he is in.
I push the door open and see jakes friends next to him. I knock lightly and they smile.
"Hey," Leah and I say.
"Hey," jake says.
He has a black eye and some bruises on his ribs.
"I'm Sorry," I say.
They laugh.
"You really think it was your fault? No, your part of the group now.. we don't hold grudges," one of jakes friends say.
I smile.
"Oh and Leah too," they say.
We both smile and I hold her hand.
"I'm leaving today, they just wanted to make sure I was okay and what not," jake says.
I nod.
We all talked for a bit and finally jake was aloud to leave. We wheeled jake out in a wheel chair and once we are out of the hospital, he stands up and stretches.
"Finally I hate hospitals!"
We all laugh.
"Thank you," I say as I got into the car with my beautiful girlfriend.
Jake smiles and nods.
We drive off and jake gets a ride from his friends.
I drop Leah off at home and I drive myself home.
I walk into my house and explain everything to my mom.
"I'm proud of you," my mom smiles.
I smile back and go to my room. I sit down on my bed after grabbing my guitar.
I strum while quietly singing.
