Chapter 7

“What happened?” he asked
“nothing” i said “can we please go inside?”
“yeah, wheres your chair?” dad asked
“at the bottom of the lake”i said
“What?”
Sara came in the living room. “Sidney, what happened to your face?” she asked
“I’m fine”
“no you’re not, i’m getting you some ice” she went in the kitchen.
“what happened?” Dad asked I grabbed Sid’s arms, and pulled him down, to sit on the couch. I looked at Sid.
“Collins”
“okay, so remember that guy from the beginning of the year. I ran over his foot.”
“yes”
“Well-” I said, getting cut off by Sidney
“Well, I took Collins to this dock. I wanted to -- anyways then Jason and couple of his friends showed up., we played them today, they didn’t like the outcome”
“What does that have to do with my daughter?” Dad yelled
“Dad!”
“here you go” Sara said, giving Sid some ice.
“thank you” he said, putting it to his eye.
“Well after his friend grabbed me, Collins said something, they went back and forth” he said, putting his arm round his stomach. He was in so much pain, but he was so good at hiding it. I put my hand on his shoulder.
“then he pushed her out of her chair, then they rolled her chair into the lake.”
“oh my god” Sara said
“Sweetie, are you okay?” Dad asked
“I’m fine, they didn’t hit me” i said
“they still pushed you.” sid said
“Sidney, I’m fine”
“how are going to get around?”
“Sid, we’ll get her another one” dad said, Sid stood up slowly
“I got to go”
“Sidney” I said grabbing his hand “Where?”
“no where” he let go
“promise me, your won’t do anything stupid.” he turned around “thank you” he handed the ice to Sara. “i’ll call you” he said
“Sid.......Sid.......Sidney.” he walked out the door. ”Dad”
“I can’t stop him”
“Dad, he’s in pain, they beat him up pretty bad.”
“shh” he said, and wrapped his arms around me.

The next day. I didn’t go to school, of course. My dad was getting my chair after he gets off work. He made all these calls last night. Sid still hasn’t called me likes he said he would, and school has been out for a while.
When my Dad came home from work he had my new chair. I wanted all night, nothing he never called.  
The next morning,  I got on the bus and Sidney was nowhere, I just figured he drove to school. I got to school. I was getting into my locker, still no sign of Sidney
"Hey" I looked up Alex was standing there
"Hi." I said
"Everybody heard about what happens." She said
"Great, mostly all rumors." I said "have you seen Sid?"
"No, he wasn't in school yesterday."
"He hasn't?"
"No." She said "but I really doubt he would do that to Jason."
"Do what?" I asked, she pointed I turned around. Jason walked down the hallways he looked at me. He had a black eye, swall lip, he walked pasted. His kunkle were bruised. I looked at Alex. "Sid didn't get one punch in."
"We'll, then someone got to him after." She said, and walked away.
"After." I whispered.

After school I was thinking about going to Sid's house. Around five my Dad was helping Sara with Dinner. I looked put the window I seen Sidney walk off the pouch. I turned around, grabbed my coat, and opened the door.
"Sidney." He had his hands on his head. "Sidney stop!" I yelled, now in middle of the street. "Sidney." He stopped, I rolled right behind him. "Why didn't you call me?" I asked
"I couldn't."
"Why?"
"I just couldn't."
"Will you look at me?" I said "Sidney." I want to grab his hand, he pulled away. "Sid please." I said he turned around. He had his hat pulled down and sunglasses on, his lip was big.there was a cut on his cheek.
"Sid please tell me you didn't."
"What?"
"You went after him after I told you not to do anything stupid."
"Ummm, you got a new chair."
"Don't change the subject."
"Let get out of the street." He said, we moved over to the sidewalk.
"Can you take your sunglasses off?"
"I don't know."
"Sid." He reached up, and slowly taken them off, both eyes were black and blue, the right one was almost closed. i put my hand over my mouth. “Sid“ i whispered.
“I’m okay” he said
“Okay? no you not okay”
“Just two black eyes, bloody lip, and some other stuff”
“other stuff?” I asked
“mmmm my hands” he said, showing them to me. They were all cut up. “a few bruised ribs”
“that is not okay” I said “you went and found him last night.”
“yeah”
“Why? I told you not to do anything stupid.”
“he put his hands on you Collins”
“and I am Fine” I said “and now look at you, not fine”
“most girls would be happy that a guy stuck up for them”
“I am Sidney, but only if he hurt me, and if the only reason you did what you did was because of me i swear -”
“it wasn’t” he said, looking me in the eyes.”it was one of the reasons, but he wasn’t leaving me alone, and after what he did to you. That was the last straw. “
“I just wish you wouldn’t have done it. ”
“i’m sorry” he said “and can we just not talk about it anymore?”
“Okay” I said, I looked down then back up at him. “umm why did you take me out to the dock anyway?”
“it doesn’t matter anymore”
“it does, umm you look like you wanted to tell me somthing.”
“it really doesn’t matter”
“Sidney. come on, you own me that.” I said
“Okay, Okay” he said “umm” he kneeled in front of me, and looked at me. He grabbed my face, and kissed me. I put my hand on his cheek, and kissed him back. We broke apart slowly. He looked at me. I smiled at him.
