Henry's POV
Tuesday Morning
The usual shity stuff. Classes, lunch, more classes study hall. Today I didn't see Eva even during lunch their table was vacant and I was itching to know what her answer will be. Her classes today don't match any of mine and we take two classes together.

AP Chemistry and physics that I newly transferred to. The only place I plan can see her is at the parking lot and Darlene will be there to shoot daggers from her eyes and that s the last thing I want.

The bell rings and I know she will be heading to her locker to get new books for the final class of the day so I head for her locker. As soon as I round the corner I see her there standing with Bennett. They were casually talking like they've known each other forever.

And I started talking to Examine before he did and I was getting the worst treatment so far. I scoffed and walked towards her.

Eva I said completely ignoring the guy.

Oh Hey Henry this is Bennett she said gesturing to him.

I nodded my head towards him. I want answer to what I asked you yesterday.

About that.... She trailed off.

What is it a yes or a no?

Well it's a No she said looking away.

Oh was all I could think about and my brain couldn't function to think a girl just turned me down.

Henry I will see you on Friday? She asked.

Yeah I said and walked out. It hurt and it wasn't like I was her asking her for a date. Why did getting rejected hurt so much. I imagine what Jolene must have felt.

I feel like ditching school and we have only one period left and I have already wasted half of the time wandering around.

I sent Darlene a text.

Hey babe you have to look for another way home. I left.

I entered my car and drove to the lake down the park. I went there looking at the lake. It was my dad's favorite place in the world. Anytime my mom did something he didn't like he came here.

My parents were a happy couple, but the did have fights and they settled right before anything get out of hand. That's why my mom is still hurting, they've been married for 17 years when he died. I don't know how long of stayed there but suddenly the sin was setting and I glanced at my watch it was almost 7:30. Ethan!

I rushed to my car and drove to the hospital quickly. I promised to visit him today.
I remember yesterday when I was called by my mom.

Where are you she asked immediately I picked the call.

Visiting a friend I said . Since when did she care about my whereabouts.

Visiting a friend? Well the nurse just called me and Ethan has a seizure.

What mom ? Is he in the hospital I ask her.

Yes he is, I can't come currently. I am in work so I want you to go see him okay?

Yes mom. And I am sorry mom.

For what Henry?

For everything mom.

We can talk later please go see my baby boy and call me if anything arises okay?

Yes mom. I cut the call and drove my car to the  hospital.

*FLASHBACK ENDS *

I enter the hospital and go straight to Ethan's room, since I am a family member.

I enter and see him sitting bed. He is smiling looking out of the window. I move closer to him.

Hey buddy.

Hey Henry he looked at me smiling then his smile faded. You came late? He asked.

Yes I was kind of having troubles.

Okay he said and shrugged.

Anytime I see that he can't stand up like a normal kid and do things they do I always blame myself. Ethan should be on a football team and I should be in that chair. I should have told them not come.

Henry I told you I wanted to come for that match. Even dad wanted to come and there is no way we will have missed so stop blaming yourself.

Did I say it aloud?

No your face says it all he mutters. I want to get out of this bed and go home he said giving me pleading eyes.

Kiddo we have to wait for mom t on c OK me speaking in with the doctors okay?

Call mom to come and tell them to let me go. I feel kidnapped he said laughing.

What were you doing at the time you had the seizure oh trail off.

Looking at pictures of dad, he says giving me a sad smile.

You should not have.

I know now he said trying to lay down back.  I help him and he looks up an stares at the ceiling. I know dad is proud of you Henry he whispered.

I hope so i replied  tears slipping out of my eyes. I will go call mom I said heading towards the toilet to wash my face and call my mom.

My mom came around and we finally got home. Mom got some take out from a Chinese restaurant. We eat silently and after that I do the dishes and go back to my room.

Why am I this big mess? When people see me they see Henry Bryan star QB, but all I see is a large messed up teenager who is trying to get famous.

I pull out my phone and discover it has 48 messages and 28 missed calls and voice mail and all from Darlene.

24 of the messages say
Where are you

16 say
I have been calling you pick up.

8 of the messages say.
I am totally upset with you Henry.

Same messages .

The voice mail are the same except that she is mentioning that I can't breakup with her and I don't know who put that idea in her head but it is just hilarious. I choose not to respond because in a few hours I will see her and we can talk about everything.

Hey guys

Do you have any family troubles I hope it all goes on well for you.
I pity for poor Ethan he is suffering so much. But only created him.... I hope he turns out well.
