Christopher's POV

" Mom! " We all exclaimed.
She then went to Alex and hugged him.

" Alex... You're alive..My son... " She said while cupping Alex face, tears then started pooling in mom's eyes, Alex smiled at her. She then turned her head to me and hit my arm.

" Owww... Mom that hurts.. " I said while massaging my arm where Jessica also hit a while ago.

" Now look at yourself now.. Christopher! Why didn't you tell me you joined this gang?! I just got a call from your friend saying your here in the hospital! But I'm glad your safe my little boy. " Mom worriedly said to me and hugged me.

" I'm sorry mom"

" You still have a lot of explanation to tell me especially you Jessica. You both made me worry. " Mom said in a serious tone.

" Jessica? "

" Yes mom?? "

" Jessica since when did you know Christopher joined the gang? " Mom asked Jessica who is now staring at the both us, asking for help.

" I told you not to join the gang remember? " Alex joined in, I bit my lip.

" Ummmm.... M-mom " Jessica started.

" What Jessica? I have a lot of time with your explanations. " Mom said.

" Since he started high school.. I guess.. " Jessica said while looking at the floor.

" Is it true Christopher? " Mom asked me. I nodded my head in reply. Mom sighs but before she can she reply the door opened.

" Claire... " I said while trying to get up but Alex stopped me from doing it. She entered the room shyly.

" Umm mom meet Claire Steinmetz my friend" Jessica said to mom.

" It's nice to meet you dear... " Mom smiled and hugged her.

" Alex.. Christopher's big brother. " Alex introduce and extends his hands in which Claire smiled and shakes his hand in return.

" Well... I better get some coffee.. Alexander, Jessica come with me. I'll be back soon Christopher.. were not done yet.." Mom said and kissed my forehead.

When mom, Alex and Jessica are gone. Now it's only me and Claire in the room. Neither one of us dared to speak.

" Uhmm how are you? " She asked awkwardly.

" I'm fine actually... " I said while scratching my head.

" Uhmm what brings you here in the hospital? " I asked her.

" I- I uhmm saw the news and decided to know if your alive... "

" Hmmm.. thanks. " I said and bit my lip.

" What are you thanking for? "

" Thanks for visiting me here... Uhmmm it really is awkward  " I said and nervously laugh. She broke into smile.

" It's not a big deal actually I got worried about you.. " She said.

" your worried about me? " I looked at her.

Claire's POV

I was contemplating to enter the room of Christopher. I am now standing in his room for a minute now. I heaved a sigh and opened the door shyly. When I entered his room I saw an elderly woman, Jessica and a man standing beside his bed

" Claire. " Christopher said while trying to sit up but the man stopped him from doing so.

" Umm mom meet Claire Steinmetz my friend" Jessica introduced. I smiled at the woman.

" It's nice to meet you dear... " She smiled at me and hugged me.

" Alex.. Christopher's big brother. "

" Well... I better get some coffee.. Alexander, Jessica come with me. I'll be back soon Christopher.. were not done yet.." Their mom said and kissed Christopher's forehead before going out of his room

When all of them left the room. It's only me and Christopher left in the room neither one of us started a conversation.

" Uhmm how are you? " I asked awkwardly.

" I'm fine actually... " He said while scratching his head.

" Uhmm what brings you here in the hospital? "

" I- I uhmm saw the news and decided to know if your alive... "

" Hmmm.. thanks. " He said while bitting his lip.

" What are you thanking for? "

" Thanks for visiting me here... Uhmmm it really is awkward  " He said and nervously laugh. I then broke into a smile.

" It's not a big deal actually I got worried about you.. " I said and my eyes widened at what I just said.

' Seriously Claire! ' I said to myself and corrected him.

" your worried about me? " He asked me.

" I'm worried as a friend of course.. " I said and laugh to get to a next question.

" Really? As a friend? " He asked and smirks at me.

" Yes as a friend only and for your information Mr. Smith I'm not into a guy who joined gangs... " I said to him and he laughs. His laugh is like a music to my ears.

What? Did i just? Seriously Claire just stop thinking!

" Well I better get going now... I guess I will see you again tomorrow. " I said to him. He nodded his head.

" Ok... " He said then smiled at me. I went out to his room, I was greeted by Jessica dragging me somewhere.
