shut his eyes.
She asked, “What happened?” She felt of his forehead. He didn’t have a fever.
He rolled his head to the side to face her, “It was Bobby. He kept running into me really hard and knocking me down. I hurt all over.”
“Was Bobby mad at you or something? Did Coach Bradford put a stop to it?”
“Coach called both of us into his office. He asked both of us if we were angry at the other. Both of us said ‘No’. Coach sent me home and kept Bobby in to talk to him some more.”
Danny straightened up on the couch and turned to her, “It seemed like he was super powered. He didn’t seem to even focus on me. At first I thought he was mad at me, but then I thought he was mad at something else. He wasn’t even seeing me.”
“I have an idea, what do you think about you inviting him and Aaron over here for a slumber party Saturday night?” Laura suggested.
“Really, Mom? I’ve never had a slumber party before.” Danny exclaimed excitedly,
Laura laughed, “First, how about a hot bath for those sore muscles?”
For the slumber party Laura made sandwiches, popcorn and cupcakes with all the sodas in the refrigerator that they could want. She let them hang out in the living room to play games and watch TV. She went to bed and hoped the house didn’t burn down or something. The next morning she found one them wrapped in a blanket sleeping on the couch in the living room and the other two sleeping in Danny’s bedroom.
Laura stayed very quiet and found a book to read to let the boys sleep as long as they wanted.
After Bobby woke up he wrapped the blanket around him, “Thank you Mrs. Ray for letting Danny invite me to his slumber party. I really had a good time. He looked for the clock on the wall in the kitchen. He acted nervous and said that he needed to go.”
“Sure, Bobby. I’m glad you came. Come back and visit any time you can,” she invited. “Would you like some breakfast before you go?”
“No, but thank you for offering.”
Bobby quickly got his things together and left, glancing at the clock as he went out the door.
Two hours later, Danny and Aaron groggily walked out of the bedroom and slumped on the kitchen chairs.
“Are you two ready for some breakfast?” Laura asked cheerfully.
They looked up with blood shot eyes and shook their heads.
“I think I will fix you some hot cocoa to drink anyway,” she said as she busily pulled out the pot out of the cabinet.
After Danny got a few sips of hot cocoa, he thought of something, “Mom, Bobby had bad bruises on his back. I asked him what happened. He said it was nothing. He got it playing football.”
Aaron took up the story, “He wouldn’t get bruises like that playing football. None of us do.”
“Do you know what would cause them?” Danny asked earnestly.
“It’s hard to say, but I will talk to Coach Bradford,” she promised. “You were smart to not say anything to Bobby. It might have embarrassed him.”
She wouldn’t have a chance to talk to the Coach until after she got off work on Monday. She called Mary and asked her to talk to Coach for her. Mary said she would. Aaron had talked to her too. One thing she could do was call Donald Littlefield, Jeremy’s father.
Donald answered the phone, “Hello.”
“Hi, Donald, I’m calling you as a friend not as a client. I hope you don’t mind. I’m a little upset.”
“Sure, Laura, what has happened?”
“Last night, Danny invited Aaron and Bobby Jackson to a slumber party. They had a really good time, but after Bobby left this morning Aaron and Danny confided in me that Bobby’s back was badly bruised.”
“Did he say what caused them?”
“Yes, he told them that the bruises were caused by playing football.”
“What did they say?” Donald wanted to know.
“They told me that they didn’t say anything but they didn’t believe him either,” she answered.
“What I do know is that his parents got a divorce and the wife split for Chicago. The
