Sweetie (2010)
“David smiled weakly. “It’s safer.”
It was the next morning, and Sammy and Charles stood near the bed in David’s hospital room while his mom talked to a nurse just outside the door. Charles shifted from foot to foot, feeling uncomfortable. It was weird to see David lying there with a big white bandage on his head. Charles was half disappointed and half relieved that he could not see David’s stitches. He wasn’t sure what to say or how to act. He had not spent a lot of time in hospitals before. He... looked at Sammy. Maybe Sammy would think of something to say.
Sammy stared down at the floor.
“Boodja-ball sounds good,” said Charles. “Um, I’m sorry you got hurt.”
“It’s not your fault,” David said. “I’m the one who came up with the whole crazy idea to stand on your backs.” He grinned. “Anyway, I’m fine. I’m just happy I get to go home. The food here is terrible.” He pointed at a tray on a table next to his bed. “They call that French toast?”
