Ch. 55 Favors

When he pulls into the driveway

I don't get out of the car.

I'm not shaking anymore

and the lump that was

stuck in my throat

is now gone.

It's strange

how two words

made me feel so much better

than three weeks of comforting have.

"Can you do something for me?"

I say to Matt.

He nods.

"Of course.

Anything,"

he says automatically.

"Don't tell Will or Johnny

what happened earlier.

I'm tired of everyone

being so worried

all the time.

I don't get why

everyone cares so much."

Matt smiles.

"Well,

you're the kind of person

that's worth caring about."
