*Colby's POV*

I went home and went up to my room and set my stuff down and looked up and saw Jon but he looked different.... He was laying in bed, the guest bed in my room, but wasn't facing the door. I went over to him and lightly nudged his shoulder as he flinched and looked up at me.

"S-Sorry... Didn't mean to hurt you.." I said sitting next to him as he sat up.

"It's fine Colby..." He said and I smiled but it faded soon as I looked at him, he had a huge cut under his eye that was stitched up...

"Jon.. What happened?..." I asked.

"It's a long story Colby. Besides that's not even the worst." He pointed to his eye.

"W-What is?.." I asked. He raised his sleeve to a gunshot wound on his shoulder and I gasped looking at it.

"An infected gunshot wound is..." He sighed. Luckily he had put medicine on it tho.. 

"Good thing you put medicine on it... Right?" I asked.

"I guess... But.. Eh..." He shrugged. "I almost stepped on a bomb too if it weren't for my dog.." He said.

"You've got a dog?" I asked.

"Yeah, she's coming here tomorrow. She saved me from dying. I did get hurt from the bomb explosion but not that bad.." He said and I looked at him.

"So that's why you flinched?..." I asked.

"Yeah... I'm gonna be really weak for like another month.. So I just gotta be careful.." He said nodding slightly.

"Oh... Well know I'm here for ya bud.." I said.

"Thanks Colby. I can always count on ya. Just like when we were younger..." He said and I smiled nodding.

"Yeah but I got school... So... I gotta be careful.. Like I don't want them to know I've got you here or they'll probably try and hurt you.." I said.

"Mmm.. Good point but I'm stronger than anyone in this house... Well if I wasn't so weak right now.." He said sighing.

"You'll be back soon enough." I said and smiled.

"Hope so..." He said.

"So, Jon, what's your dogs name?" I asked.

"Her name? It's Bullet. I didn't name her, but my boss gave her to me, and now she's traumatized by loud noises so she's coming here tomorrow." He said.

"Oh, what's her breed?" I asked.

"Belgian Malinois." He said.

"Oh I love that kind of dog." I said and he smiled.

"Yep. Me too.." He said. "But I'mma get a little sleep k?" He said and I nodded.

"Night Jon, and hope you sleep well." I said as he lay back on his side.

"Thanks Colbs." He said and yawned lightly. I smiled and got in my own bed.
