Why him?!

Just Help Him!

A slight shift causes me to open my eyes.

I notice that Kyle is gone so I sit up and wipe my eyes clean of sleep. I wonder where he is?

I get out of the bed and head to the door. I stop in my tracks as I hear Kyle talking.

"That's stupid!" he exclaims.

When I don't hear a response,I assume he's on the phone.

"Why aren't you listening!? He needs to leave right now. Or else you need to let Joseph go home" he says.

What is he talking about?

"Dad.." he sighs.

He's talking to Kevin about me?

"You still aren't listening to a word I'm saying! Joseph is not going to stay there with Chase. It's not happening. Chase bullies Joseph for Christ sake!" Kyle begins to raise his voice.

Oh.

He's talking about that.

I open the door and look to my left to see Kyle sitting in one of the waiting chairs against the wall.

The hospital is colder than Kyles room so I wrap my arms around myself as I walk up to him.

He looks up from the floor and smiles at me.

"Alright Dad. I've gotta go. But you need to listen to me" Kyle says as he hangs up.

"You didn't have to do any of that" I say as I sit down next to him.

"I don't want you being uncomfortable." He sighs as he puts his hand on my knee.

I tighten my grip around my body as I think.

"You don't want to stay there right?" He speaks up.

"No! Of course not. Not at all." I blurt out quickly.

Kyle nods as he stares at his feet again.

I look at his feet as well. His pajama bottoms look so big on him. I really hope he starts eating soon.

"What time is it?" I ask, thinking back to how my mom said she was going to bring him food.

He glances at his phone, "5 till 6" he says

Eww-I always hate it when he answers like that. Just say 5:55.

I nod as a shiver escapes my body.

"Come on. We can go back" he laughs at me.

I laugh with him as we enter his room.

"Oh! Are you alright? Does anything hurt?" I quickly wrap an arm around his back gently as we walk.

"I'm alright. Only thing that hurts is my head. I'm pretty sure my concussion has a concussion" he jokes.

I smile as I help him onto his bed.

"So your back is fine?" I ask again.

"Yeah. I've dealt with a little back pain my whole life so I'm used to it" he announces.

I nod as I get back into the bed with him. We get back into the position we were in last night as he turns on the tv. He flips through the limited stations and we both agree on watching one of the Harry Potter movies.

Don't ask which one, because I honestly have no idea.

Despite not knowing what was happening or who the characters were, I was intrigued. Kyle on the other hand-has claimed to have already seen this movie and already knew what was going to happen.
