"Oh, there you are," says your mum hurriedly, "I was just leaving you a note. Put on your coat, your brother's been hurt in an accident and we have to go to the hospital."
You hear a moan from upstairs.
"(insert your name here) is home now!" Mom calls.
"It's about time," your brother moans.
"Com'on, we need your help," Mom says and leads you upstairs to Mike's room. You walk in to see Mike has grown from 260 to about 300lbs.
"I'm sorry I'm late," you apologize again.
"On the count of three we lift," Dad says, you take mom's side," three."
Slowly you get Mike into the car and you have to hold the ice bag on his knee. Apparently Mike had a nasty run in at football(local league) and it wasn't that bad, then when he got home he tripped and fell down 2 steps and his knee got screwed up.
You arrive at the hospital and Mike and your parents go ahead while you sit in the waiting room looking at the other people. Nothing much really happens in the waiting room, you make a baby smile and have a small chat with a young kid.
Soon enough your dad comes walking back and says," Com'on, we don't have much time."
"What do you mean?" you ask jumping out of your seat and following him to the car.

"Ok," you answer," for how long?"
"2 weeks," Dad says and you're on your way.
You get home and Dad sends you in to get some clothes and some items to keep you happy: video game console, a few movies and a few mags.
You jump back to the car and Dad drives you to the bus stop and takes you in, gets you a ticket for town you've never heard of and he takes you out to your bus.
"You be a good boy while with Uncle Ben," Dad says looking down at you with your backpack on and your suitcase.
"I don't know what he looks like," you says uneasy.
"He's a big man like me and has black hair with some grey and a black beard," answers Dad and he bends down and gives you a big bear hug and says," We'll see you soon, we'll keep you updated."
You get on the bus and it takes off. It travels all night and you have a weird dream about cows talking and you wake up to see the town Uncle Ben, Brad (your cuz, 17 like you), and Aunty Lori is...
