Old Friends

The Past

  " I remember being with my boyfriend Zach and I had done something wrong so he was taking me out back." you recalled even though that was still fuzzy.
    "Hmm.. Ok." Dan replied deep in his thoughts.
      "Well let me start from the very beginning in my perspective."
   "I had woken up late as usual and Phil and I have no idea how to make food. Phil was still asleep so I decided to go get us some coffee and donuts. Once I got to the café there was a line and I know that there is a back entrance open to me because we know the owner. Anyway, as I walked to the back I heard a man threatening someone and peeked around the corner. I knew I had to help but I didn't know how.Then I saw him,Zach, pulling back to punch a girl,you. That's when I stepped out and told him to leave you alone. He didn't listen and still hit you."
    Dan stumbled on his words as if they hurt him to say. He had quit looking you in the eye and was once again looking at his lap. He finally started to continue with his story.
  "When I saw Zach had hurt a girl I lost it. I can't imagine what I would've done if I'd known it was you. I ran toward him and tackled him. He threw punches and attempted to hit me. I managed to dodge his attempts at hitting me and I rammed my knee into his stomach. He fell down and that's when I hit him across the head knocking him unconscious."   
   You sat in silence not moving a muscle.
   "I turned to a girl that had gotten herself up somehow. She thanked me and I asked of she was ok. Then she recognized me. My best friend that I had missed for years. You summoned the strength to run toward me. I caught in my arms somehow and then you hugged me. When I felt a warm liquid running down my neck I put you down and you stumbled and passed out. I picked you up and applied pressure to your head wound by pressing you against my shirt. Hence the blood stain."
   As he mentioned you had a head injury you noticed the wrap around your head and how much your head was hurting.
   "I brought you back here and fixed you up and waited for you to wake up and here we are. That's pretty much it!"
   As soon as he finished you heard Phil open the door downstairs and yell
  "I brought food! Hope you guys are hungry!"
