I was almost asleep, happy. Not in any pain. Not even my arm hurt. Then I heard the front door open.

"Zach? The school called, are you here?" My mom yelled down the hall. I heard her heals clicking on the hard wood floor. Getting closer. Closer to me and Joe in bed, in each others arms, half naked. Joe sat up. "Should I hide..?" He whispered. "No, just put on a shirt." He leaped off the bed just as my mom knocked on the door. "Honey?" "Yeah. I'm here." I faked a cough. "May I come in?" She asked. Joe straightened out his hair and tucked my into the bed. Covering up my bare chest. Then he opened the door. 

"Oh! Joe." "Hey." He smiled at her. "What are you..?" "I noticed Zack wasn't meeting me to walk to school, so I went to check on him. Turns out he's sick. I just wanted to stay and make sure he was cared for." "Well, thank you." Joe glanced back at me. "I guess you are in new hands now." He said. "Thank you." I said in a weak tone. He walked past my mom, who thanked him once more, then I heard him leave. My mom went over and sat down on the bed next to me.

"Honey. I'm not dumb. I know you arn't sick." "W-What?" "Sit up." "No." "Zach! Sit up." I sighed and sat up. The blanket fell from around me. Showing from the waist up. Top-less. "Oh dear lord...My son skipped school to have sex with another boy!" "Mom! Thats...thats not what happened!" "Oh? Then explain your self, mister." I sighed...and thought about what Joe said about my arm. "Mom...Joe broke up with me this morning." "Oh honey. Then why was he here?" "Please, let me finish." "Sorry. Continue." I lifted my arm off the bed. "I came back home...and did this.." She gasped and grabbed my arm. "Ow.." "You did this to your self! And it was that...that boys fault!?" "In a way..yes.." She slowly unwrapped the bandage Joe put on me. He turned out to be a really good nurse. 

They had bleed more while Joe and I...where...you know. Having sex. But not much. And they wern't bleeding now. "Zach..they look so smooth. How are they so..." She looked into my eyes. Which where filling with held in tears. "You have done this before...havn't you?" She asked softly. "M-Mom..the kids at school..they..Joe is my only friend. Every one treats me terribly. I can't walk down the hall with out being tripped or hit. I just...had to rid my pain." "No. This is not the right way. Please Zach. Tell me you wont anymore. Expectualy for that boy." "Mom! I..I love Joe! And he loves me.. I would do anything for him. I know that now. So don't treat him as just a boy!" "I'm...I'm sorry. Zach, I didn't know you felt this way. But please...don't do this anymore." I looked down at me lap.

"I wont. As long as I have Joe."

I kind of wished Zach's mom didn't come home. I wanted to still lay with him. But it was also really good she came. I knew Zach would tell her about his arm. Something in his eyes said he would. 

I hope she will get him help.

And I hope she doesn't figue out what we did. Not yet. It would be to awkward facing her.
