Love at first slap?

Chapter 11

So now we are walking out together but we couldn't be any more mentally distant. I have my brother on my mind so I need to stop worrying about Hayes. It's hard though because Hayes is standing right next to me. When I look at him he looks away from me. So we exit the school and there is my mom. Right now she is puffy eyed from the river of tears that flowed. You can tell that she is trying to be strong and not cry for me but I feel horrible. My mom is giving Hayes a strange glare. I didn't think much of it until I learned that Hayes's sister was a bystander when my brother was bullied. My mom just cries when looking at him. I comfort my mom and walk her back to the old rusted away car. Me and Hayes sit in the torn leather seats. It was all a blur until we actually arrived. You would've though I was the one who needed help. I stumbled the whole way to the door. After we get in the doctors luckily got me a seat. I was so scared. Siblings don't only annoy you but they also always love you. And right now he is in surgery paralyzed and has a huge chance of never walking again. So the doctor explains to my mom about what happened to the vertebra in his spine. And yes he may never walk again. Now my mom can't control herself. She just goes limp and breaks down. And I can't do anything to stop it.
