We stand here in awkward silence. I can't believe Christina likes Uriah! I mean, I know they've been hanging out a lot before he got into a coma but I thought they just liked each other as friends. To break the silence, I walk over to Uriah's bed.

"Hey," I say to him.

"Hey," he says back. "It's great to see you again."

"It's great to see you too."

"Look, there's something I need to tell you." I start. "You remember the explosion that made you get into the coma? Well that happened from these people trying to get into the weapons lab. And I was helping them. But I didn't make the explosion happen. It was the other people. All I wanted to say was that I didn't know that the people I was working with were bad, and I know that you, Zeke, and your mom may never forgive me, but I'm very very sorry."

"Dude, it's not your fault." Uriah replies. "You thought what you were doing was for good. That's what counts."

"Yeah," Zeke chimes in. "We're not mad at you."

Their mom nods in agreement.

"So we're cool?"

"We're cool."
