You Promised

You Were Made For Me

"You boys will be ok you'll just need about a week to recover." Bernie implied staring at them through the rear view mirror, emotionless the stare of someone that has seen some things.

Danny and Trevor are in the backseat hands over their stomach body aching. "The both of you will need stitches on those cuts, I'm bringing you to the hospital. Just Follow my lead when we get there understood, understood!" Continuously shifting his focus from the road to them.

"Yea Bernie we got it," they said in a firm voice. Danny looked at Trevor, he was in pretty bad shape.

       He looked up at Danny staring at him, he can tell he regretted dragging him along. "We got it," Trevor said putting emphasis on the we.

They pulled into the hospital parked right in front of the emergency entrance. "Alright boys follow my lead it's show time."

       Bernie put one arm under each of their arms assisting them inside. "Help! Help! I found these kids at Clifford Park, a group of guys mugged them for not giving up their money."

       The nurses rushed to their aid. Both of them got their cuts stitched up, and the doctor also gave them something to relieve the pain.

Upon leaving the emergency room Bernie dropped off Danny at his house first, before giving Trevor a lift home as well.

       "Thanks for everything Bernie I owe you one."

       "Danny!"

       "Yea?"

        "I don't know what you boys plan to do with those guns but be careful, take care of yourselves."

Danny didn't say a word just nodded in agreement. Started to make his way slowly up the cement path to the front door, still with a limp the pain meds haven't kicked in yet. Walked through the front door to see his grandmother waiting for him.
 
"Oh lord baby what happen to you." She asked, running to his side examining his body waiting for an explanation. Oh my god what happened let me look at you." Gently placing her hands on his face picked it up to take a closer look.

"Grandma, grandma I'm ok some punks tried to rob me and Trevor at the park."

       "Don't say you're alright look at you! You can barely stand up straight!"

       He took her hands in his, looked her directly in her eyes with a smile. "Grandma I promise I'm ok, just need to lay down for a while ok."

Going to his room shutting the door behind him, carefully laying down body aching. As he started to text Trevor.

Take it easy for the next couple of days, two weeks from today we'll be good to do...what we have too. I love you bro you're like the brother I never had. Talk soon.

It didn't take long for him to fall asleep, he didn't even change clothes. Layed on the bed with his jeans and shoes still on, The hours came and went.

Danny awoke the next morning sun peaking through the window body sore. First thing he does is reach for his phone on the bedroom counter near his bed.
