Claire

"HE DID WHAT?!?!" I shouted as I heard what my son had done. "Claire please calm down" my chief said as he tried to hold me back so as not to let me drive to the hospital and yell at David. "Why john, why will he not listen to me?" I asked starting to cry. "Claire I'm not too good at this but maybe he just wants some space you won't always be there to protect him" he said wiping tears out of my eyes I said "But how will I teach him he doesn't listen to me" I said in a defeated voice. "Stop babying him and then maybe he'll listen to you" I looked at the man who had always been there for me. We had been friends since high school he was a firmly cut germen shepperd. "All right I'll try but promise you will help me" I said he just smiled and nodded. I stood up and was about to leave when he asked if David knew how to play the guitar. "Yes why?" "Just curios." He said. A long drive of thinking of what to do with David latter I was outside his hospital room. The doctor said I could take him home after one last evaluation. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door "COME IN" I heard him yell in a joking voice. I smirked he always was a little jokester I thought. As I walked in his smile faded. After a long second I said in what I hoped was a normal voice "Let's get you home". By how his frown depends I could tell he knew I was mad. After we were in the car he turned to me "Mom I'm very sorry it's just that I need a little space to live my life and do things my way" he said on the verge of tears I looked over at his cast and then to his tear ridden face. "I couldn't stay mad at my little Davie" I said leaning over to give him a hug. "Now let's get you home and to bed" he nodded as we drove home in silence I knew he felt guilty because his ears where laid back. When we got home he took his crutches and left immediately I watched him go tail between his legs looking down. After a few minutes I went to the police station to drop of the squad car and to pick up my pursue.

Justin

When my big bro walked inside with a cast and crutches I was concerned. "Hey what up" I asked all he did was look up at me and sigh. "I got hit over the head by dad and broke my leg" I stared at him shocked. "Oh and I probably made mom really mad" He looked at the stairs and then back at me. "You want help to get up the stirs you can't make it two floors by yourself in your condition? "I asked. He just nodded and looked back at the ground as I ran over to help him. As I threw his arm over my shoulder I asked "Don't you think you should apologize to mom?" "I already did but I don't think she believed me I don't want to talk about it" he said with a solemn look. We made the rest of the climb in silence. "Well here we are you sure you don't want to talk" I asked concerned for him. "Actually will you spend the night with me in case I have to go to the bathroom?" he asked with an embarrassed expression. "Sure" I said and helped him sit on the bed. After a few minutes of chatting he fell asleep. I sat at his computer watching him sleep. I looked in the mirror above his dresser. I am a grey wolf with black streaks im 5 ft 4. As I looked back at him he looked so cute curled up like a little pup I wish he would stop being so depressed. He hasn't been the same since his friend committed suicide because of bullying. I walked over and lied down next to him putting my arm around him. Just before I dozed off I saw a figure at his door and then nothing.

Claire

I peeked in David's room and was met by the cutest site. David and Justin were both asleep cuddled next to each other. His phone went off and I snuck over to answer it the caller id said it was someone named Veronica. I glanced at David before answering. "David you there I missed you at school today" she said in a concerned voice. "No it's his mom he's had a rough day" I whispered. "Oh is he ok?" she asked sounding even more concerned. "He's fine my husband soon to be my ex-husband hit him over the head with a shovel and he broke his leg but he's fine I have to go I'll send you the cutest pic thought" "ok but tell him to call me back latter" I hung up and put the lights on. I took a picture of me to little baby's and sent it in a text message that read. David and his little brother snuggling. After I sent I set his phone down and turned off the lights. I took one more look at my two sons and smiled inwardly. But I'm still concerned about my husband even though he's in the stations temporary prison. I walked over to my room and saw the dribble of blood from when my husband resisted the arrest. He had hit the cop that was restraining him and then tried to run but was brought down. I quietly crawled in to bed and shortly drifted in to an uneasy sleep.

David

I slowly woke to a soft snoring and a searing pain in my leg. My head no longer hurt but my leg was another story. I looked over at my side to see my little brother snuggled up in the crook of my armpit. I didn't want to wake him so I closed my eyes and laid my head back down. All of a sudden my brother rolled over on top of my newly broke leg. I let out a loud yelp.

Justin

My eyes shot open when I heard a yelp. I looked up to see my big brother whimpering and looked down to see I was lying on his casted leg. I instantly got off and apologized. "It's ok you were asleep so you couldn't have known" he said with a smile. "Can you help me get to the bathroom" "sure pluse you probably need some aspirin to" I said as I helped him stand. It took a while to get him down the hall because the hall was so skinny that it was hard to move. I sat outside the bathroom door waiting to help him if he slipped in the shower I just hoped he could make it at school.

David

It took a while to get the plastic bag the doctor gave me to keep my cast dry on my leg. After that it turned the water on and stepped in the shower. I let the luke warm water run down my black fur getting away all the dirt from yesterday's fall. I picked up the shampoo and squeezed some on my hand. I lathered it on my head.

I then reached for a bottle of axe but slipped and fell down. Hard. I let out a loud yelp as I hit the ground. "Is everything ok I heard a yelp and a thump?" I heard my brother ask from the door. "I'm fine" was my answer. I tried to get back up but slipped again and bumped my head where my dad had hit me and yelped again. I heard a click as my brother picked the lock with his claw and burst into the bathroom. "DON'T LOOK GET OUT!" Yelled trying to cover up. "Fine turn the water off and cover up you got thirty seconds" I heard him say. I quickly turned the water off and cover my body with a towel. "You ready" he asked as he walked over to help me up. "As ready as I'll ever be" I said with a smirk. Using one hand to hold the towel in place and the other to help Austin lift my broken body. "Just set me down on the toilet and get out" I said while we hobbled over to the toilet. After he lowered me down and left I put on a pair of semi clean boxers from the dirty hamper and a pair of shorts. "You can come back in" I said after I had finished getting dressed . After the long and treacherous journey down the stairs we reached our destination the kitchen. I saw our mom making breakfast. My mouth started to salivate at the smell bacon, eggs, and orange juice my favorite. I had to control myself I was still mad at my mom and was not giving up till I got an apology. After Justin helped me get to the table I crossed my arms and pouted. I know you might say that's childish but I didn't care. As she put the plate in front of me it took all my strength not to dig in. "Come on David it's your favorite" my mom said in a teasing voice. "Not till you say you're sorry" I said hopping she wouldapoligize soon. "For what?" she asked trying to look innocent. "Let's see handcuffing me to my bed, treating me like a child, not listening to me, and not being there for me after tanner my best friend since I was three committed suicide!!!" I yelled and pushed the plate away no longer hungry. "David I didn't know you felt this way" she said I knew she was upset but didn't care. "Please David eat we can talk about this latter but right now you need to get ready for school". I looked down at my plate mouth salivating again. I dug in and started stuffing my face. When I had finished my mom took the plates and came back over. "So who's veronica?" my face went beat red. "N-n-no one just a friend" I saw Justin was trying to cover up a sly smile.

"Well she called last night while you were asleep" "And yes I answered it and sent her a picture of you and Justin cuddling" I was appalled my mother would invade my privacy. I got up and tried using my crutches but tripped. "Same as last night I tripped four times walking up the drive way and it took all my strength just to not trip in the five feet from the door to the kitchen and you helped me from there" I said in a frustrated voice. "You'll get used to it" my mom said she walked over and kissed me on the forehead. "But look at the bright side." "And what is that" I asked not liking the look in her eye. "You can get veronica to sign your cast" she said. I went from cool and composed to a stuttering mess. "I-I t-t-told you she's just a fr-friend." I said faking a smile. "Yeah sure now go get ready for school hunny" my mom said with a sly smile.

I told Justin he didn't need to help me anymore. If I'm goanna be in this cast I need to learn how to walk without help. After I had packed my back pack and finished the rest of my morning routine which mostly consisted of brushing my teeth because I hadn't for two days and I had really bad breath. "Are you sure you don't want me to drive you to school" my mom asked for the fifth time "I can walk to the bus stop mom" I was getting irritated when she finally agreed. "Fine but be careful you have your cellphone in case of an emergency" she asked putting her hands on her hips. "You kind of remind me of veronica the time I procrastinated a big project" I said more to myself than anyone. My mom squealed at what I said and I know she's been trying to get me to start dating again. "Listen I know that I haven't had a date since the night gorge killed himself". I was supposed to be hanging with him that night but a girl asked me out. Little did I know but this girl threatened to take all his friends away and I only proved her point. My eyes started to water "Aww sweetie please don't cry you couldn't have known, now go you're going to miss the bus" she said handing me my backpack and pushing me out the door into the late October air. I slid it on my shoulder and limped up to the bus stop and saw my mom watching me from the door she waived and I smile typical mom.

She drew her head in just as the bus pulled up I readjusted my pack slung my crutches over my shoulder and hobbled up the three steps and sat in the first set. I cores was the first on as always and started a conversation with Mrs.joyice the old owlet who drove my bus. "So how are the kids Mrs.?" I asked trying to break the ice. "Oh they're fine dearie but how about you I heard what happened" she said not taking her eyes off the road. "Yeah I'm fine just a little sore that's all" we continued our conversation till we got to the next stop. I laid my head back and close my eyes. "David!!" "Uhhh leave me alone Verona I'm not in the mood" She sat down next to me and I felt a scratching on my cast. My eyes shot open and I looked down to see her name in red pen with a heart around it on my cast. "I never said you could sign my cast" she gave me her puppy dog eyes and whispered. I tried to stay strong but couldn't stay mad at her. "Fine I forgive you" I grumbled and took a good look at my friend. She is a black lab with jade eyes and a firmly toned body. I played with my tail getting nervous. I may have had a small crush on her but I'm too shy to tell her. "You are so cute when you play with your tail" at that comment I blushed. "I-I um uh sure" I stuttered in a shy voce. "So I got the picture your mom sent me of you and your brother snuggling" she had the slyest smile she could. I blushed even deeper at that comment. I hoped she didn't see me blushing but probably not because of my black fur. "I think it's cute you still hang out with your brother." "Well my mom is gone half the time so I need to take care of him." I said still playing with my tail. I love it when she calls me cute it makes me melt. We rode the rest of the way to school. It took a while to get to my locker and even longer to get it open I never really learned to open my locker properly.

After messing with the dile for five minutes I got my locker open. I deposited my back pack and grabbed my books by the time got to my class I was 10 minutes late. I hobbled over to my first class and tried to sneak in. I slowly opened the door at the back of the classroom. I was glad my desk was at the back of the class room. "Mr. WILLIAM". At hearing my last name I screamed and fell. "Don't startle me like that" I said clutching my chest. "Well if you'd hurry up and sit down I could tell you your mom called and told me you might be late" the fox said in an irritated voice. "Sorry we can't all be perfect like you" I said in a grumble hobbling the rest of the way to my desk. "What was that young man?" "Oh I said that I was glad someone here actually discipline us every one else is so weak" I said in a sarcastic voice. Everyone was trying not to laugh as Mrs. Anita was shaking with rage. The rest of the hour was the same as every other day. My next class was my least favorite but at the same time my favorite. I loved the math part but James was there. He's the one who convinced his sister to threaten Gorge he still doesn't take a break even after someone died. I walked in and sat down in the front of the classroom trying to get as close to the teacher as possible. James is an arrogant cheetah who is on the football team so he thinks he can get away with anything. James walked in came right up to me. "Hey heard you broke your leg" He said kicking my cast. "Uhhhhh" I moaned as I felt the blow. "Hey can I borrow your crutches?" he asked not even letting e answer before he took the from their position leaning against the desk. "Hey give those back! "I yelled as he hobbled around the room imitating me. "Oh ow it hurts I'm such a wimp" he fake whimpered which tuned into a laugh. I stood up and tried to walk after him but fell on my face. Is it just me or have I fallen a lot today I thought as I tried to stand. "Ha ha bet you can't get them back" he said and hobbled out into the hall. I stood and limped after him using the wall to support me.
