Mathew (again)
        "Mathew, or should I say Mathphew," one of the schools foot ball players said. I rolled my eyes.
      "That was the lamest joke I've ever heard," I said. I was about to walk out of the locker room, until I was pulled back by a strong hand. This won't end well...
      "Your the body guard for that little-" but I didn't let him continue. This had been going on all day, and I was done with it. Well, I guess you can assume the rest and what I did to him.
The only issue? He had friends.
     5 on 1 isn't exactly fair odds now is it? I can talk 2, possibly 3, but not 5. Once they felt that they were done with me, I couldn't move. I felt like I was on the brink of death. They all left me there, bloody noes, black eye, broken rib probably. It wasn't until the teacher walked in that I got help. They instantly sent me down to the nurse with two total geeks.
       "Ms. Whit! Ms. Whit! We need help over here," the guy to my right said. I was looking down, seeing as it hurt to lift my head. I did anyways, however, when I heard it. That angelic voice.
      "Oh my god! Put him there, I'll be right back," I heard Lil say. They put my on the blue bed they have in the nurses office, and quickly left. I watched as Lilly grabbed virtually everything from out of the drawers while balancing on her crutches. She then quickly came over to me and sat in front of me.
       "What happened to you," she said, touching my busted lip softly with her finger. "Never mind, I don't care. You need better medical attention then what I can give you. Hold on. Ms White! There's someone here who need to go to the hospital, may I take care of it on your behalf?" She yelled. The nurse suddenly appears and nodded yes after seeing me.
        "Oh, what's the number.... Oh yeah!" She said, typing something into the keypad of the school phone. "Hello? Yes, well, someone here needs medical attention. It's not severe, but it's bad. An ambulance? Yeah, alright, thank you so much," she said, hanging up. "The closets hospital, Jackson Hospital, is sending an ambulance over to get you. Are you okay? What hurts?" She asked, limping over to me. I noticed that she wasn't using her crutches, but she also didn't have a cast on.
       "Lilly," I croaked out. It got her attention and she rushed/ limped over. "You said you had a sprained ankle, and most times than others, you go to the hospital or doctors and they put a cast or something on it. I can tell you have a sprained ankle by the way you limp, but why don't you have a cast?" I asked. This caught her off guard.
      "Uh, um, I-I don't like hospitals or victors offices..." She said, almost a whisper. I was about to say something when I heard the sirens from the ambulance outside the school. "Come on," she said, taking my arm and letting me lean on her. Me being as big as I am, basically ate her. She helped me anyways though.
      "Miss, we need to take him. Only family-" but Lilly cut her off.
      "I'm his girlfriend and I'd like to be with him please," she said sternly. The woman nodded and helped Lilly put me on a stretcher. The highlight of today? Seeing Lilly call me her boyfriend, even if it was pretend.
      We got in and they closed the door. Lilly was sat next to me as we rode to the hospital, and I could tell she was having a break down inside. So, I did the boy friendly thing, and grabbed her hand.
      "It's gonna be alright Lil," I said with as much strength as I could. She relaxed, but only a little.
      "Let's worry about you right now, okay? I'll have a mental break down some other time," she said. I tried to laugh, which was me basically coughing loudly. "What happened?" She asked softly.
      "5 to 1 aren't fair odds huh?" I said, trying to make a joke. She smiled but it soon faded.  
     "Those idiots think they can step all over people. They make me sick," she said with as much meanness as this Ray of sun chins could muster up. I laugh/cough.

       "Are you okay?!" I heard my mom say as she rushed in and over to me, totally ignoring the fact that we had a guest.
      "Yeah mom, I'm fine," I said, trying to make it better.
     "Your not fine! 5 football players beat you up, bad. I can not believe you did that." Lilly said beside me. I laughed and coughed. "Hello Mrs. Johnson, I'm Lilly Lycaster, it's very nice to meet you. I just wish it could've been in better ways," Lilly said, offering a hand to my mom. My mom really isn't the hand shaking type apparently, so she hugged Lilly. Lilly was caught off guard, but quickly hugged back.
         "So your the Lilly that brought back the smile to my sons face," mom said, pulling away. Lilly blushed.
       "Pardon me ma'am, but your mistaken. It was never gone, no, just hidden," Lilly said poetically. Mom looked at me.
       "She's a keeper, Mathew," she said, making me dig my face into the pillow. I could tell Lilly was embarrassed, just by knowing Lilly.
       "Thank you ma'am." Lilly said, trying not to be to red.
       "Why did you try to beat up 5 guys?" Mom asked. I sighed. Because they were disrespecting Lilly! Well, that's that I wanted to say.
       "Because they were being ass-wholes," I said.
       "Mathew!" Both mother and Lilly exclaimed.
       "Sorry?" I said, more as a question. They both gave me stern looks until Lilly sparked a conversation with my Mom that seemed to never end.
       I almost did it Smballif22, almost. Hehehehehe....
