"So what have people at school been saying?" Oliver asked.

"Well, they already know that you and Theo are just friends so they just know that you guys got in a car wreck together," Dakota answered.

"No rumors?" Oliver asks again.

"Yep, Claire and I used our what Mia calls it, popularity, to get rid of them," Brent says.

We were currently in my basement sitting on beanbags and couch.

"At least I'm out of the hospital, the food there was literally gonna kill me," Oliver joked. "How's Theo doing?"

"Theo's refusing to see anyone. I- We don't know why. But the doctor says that her amnesia from that evening is still there and she's making a quick recovery," I say trying to brighten the mood. Obviously, though, it wasn't working.

"Do you guys know what's exactly wrong with her?" Oliver asks again.

"Physically she has a sprained left wrists and a few cuts and bruises," Dakota says.

"Why did the doctor say that it was bad then?" Brent asks looking at Dakota.

"I'm pretty sure that she loss too much blood," Dakota answered. "Mentally, we don't know. Honestly, we have no idea why she doesn't want to see anyone."

"I need answers!" Oliver shouted in desperation.

There was a knock on the wall and we all turned around to see Daryl. "Answers you say?"

"And there we have folks an unemployed twenty-one-year-old brother of mine. What can we do for you?" I ask smiling.

"Hey guys, just wanted to come down and ask how you all were doing. Plus I'm curious about something," Daryl says plopping down on the carpeted floor next to the couch. Everyone replied back that they were okay or good.

"Now, what were you curious about?" Oliver asks seeming intrigued.

"What you need answers to, see I may be able to provide some of your questions with answers."

I snorted a little from what he said, "My brother, you are not an insider."

"Oh but I am, I know that little Oliver has a crush on dear Dora. That's why he sleeps with other girls, cause he thinks that Theo will never see him as anything but a friend." We all look at Daryl like he was crazy and a psychic.

"First thing we all knew, but second thing, not so much," Brent says looking confused.

"Oh but dear sister's friends of mine, Oliver does not know that so he succumbs to women," Daryl says making Oliver confused, making everyone confused.

"What? Spending years with Dora has taught me how to read people. I'm not as good as her, but I do know how to read people."

"How has this not rubbed off on me!" I shout jokingly annoyed.

"Anyways, point proven but I don't think you know the answer to our question," Dakota says with a shrug.

"What's the question?"

"Why doesn't Theo want anyone to see her while she's staying in the hospital?" Oliver asks looking serious.

Daryl looked at Oliver then at everyone else not blinking. He did this for about two or three minutes. Then he sighed rubbing his forehead. "Listen, I know the answer-"
