I managed to find a batman costume that fit, of course there were always batman costumes considering its been such a big hit these last few years. The...day dragged by and I had nerves from thinking to myself that I dont want to do this. I havent been with a girl sexually since high school. The time was eight o'clock and I headed out. My mother had already left earlier to help set up. I walked into this mansion of a house where there were people dancing to loud music like it was a rave. I walked. "That's been building up for some time." Your mother basically doesn't want to talk to you. You hurt her very badly last night." She's incapable of being hurt," I said. Dad just looked at me. "She's not hurt. She's offended. She's probably mad. She's most likely scandalized. I'd like to hope she's even feeling a bit guilty, but I know that's too much to hope for. Hurt, she is not." One of these days you'll have children, and you'll see it's not as easy as you think," he pontificated.Ah, yes,. Friday before half term. A week and two days off. Nine days of fun, I hoped. Trip to Uncle Eddie’s, rock concert and time with my best friend: Jo, my twin s!ster. Just inside the door, Mum had placed our packed suitcases, ready for departure. ‘Go and get changed,’ she said before the front door had closed. ‘We leave in half an hour whether ready or not — whether dressed or butt naked or in-between. Which reminds me: Showers for both.’ ‘Yeah right, Mum,’ I thought. The words coming out my mouth. "Dr. Simmons said the surgery went well. Harry, you spent over six hours in the operating theatre, but Dr. Simmons was able to patch up your knee. You'll be okay!"He smiled gratefully in response. The meaning of her words slowly sank in. He wouldn't be a one-legged cripple. He would be able to walk again. He could deal with pain, but to lose a limb would have been a different matter. He breathed in relief and looked down. His leg was suspended in a cast that still felt cool and wet."Andrew will.
