CHAPTER-5

Tom got onto the bike.  He put his helmet on. Bill was putting his helmet on. Tom stroked his hand on the handles. He has never been on this cool vehicle. Bill hopped on. He held the back metal grip for the back passenger's safety. He instructed Tom once again how to start it. Tom did as Bill said. He started the bike and carried it to the road "Whoa! I'm kind of….nervous" he said stopping at the side of the road temporarily.
Bill clicked his tongue "Come on Tom, this isn't your wedding aisle. And I'm sure you wanna go home and sleep, don't you?"
Tom sighed "Yeah. Right you are" he started the bike once again. "Whoo! Come on Tom….you can do it!" Bill yelled cheerfully. Tom got more encouraged. He excitedly rode the bike with the heart wide open. "Wow! Man this is crazy" he yelled happily. Bill laughed. They kept yelling at the top of their lungs. Bill really was feeling good to make someone so happy. Tom, on the other hand, felt like flying on the seventh sky. No one could have measured the limit of his happiness that night. He increased the speed limit. Bill did not notice. He was just enjoying closing his eyes. Tom rode crazily. He could not control his excitement and the thrill he was feeling inside. Bill was grinning widely. All of a sudden he heard the siren of police cruiser. He opened his eyes and looked back. A police cruiser was following their bike. Bill narrowed his eyes. He looked ahead at the gauge. "Jesus Christ! Reduce the speed, hurry" he horrifyingly shoved Tom. Tom lost his control. He could not hit the brake of the bike and it started to spark fire at its front tyre. It began to turn to the left, they went down and everything turned upside down. Both of the boys sprinkled away on the street. Instantly the police car stopped next to them. Four officers came out. At first they helped the boys get up. Tom has got some scratches on his right elbow. Bill was hurt in his left knee. He was stumbling for the pain. Tom's right arm was bleeding. In a few minutes ambulance arrived. Some of the ward boys came out. They put some antiseptics in the cuts and bandaged their wounds quickly. Bill had not broken his knee. It was just a bit wounded and scratched. His white gabardine pant has turned red into blood.

One hour later,
The ambulance was gone with the sanatorium workers. Tom was sitting into the police cruiser and peeking from the window where Bill was talking to the officer. After all, the bike was his. Police interrogated from him for a while. They got it clear that they were no criminals. They were just trying to teach bike riding and the accident happened by mistake. Yet Bill had to pay the definite charge to the police as the law says. He signed at the official papers. Bill convinced the officer to get the bike to their house at least. The officer agreed because Bill was way too polite. He asked Bill and Tom to get into the cruiser. They will drop them home. Bill agreed. Another officer took the responsibility of the bike. Tom saw everything from the car. Bill was approaching near. Tom moved aside for Bill to sit. He felt guilty for breaking Bill's beautiful bike. He was sure that Bill has filed a case against him to the police.
Bill opened the door and got in. He made a painful face because of his hurting leg. He sighed and closed the door next to him. Tom could not look at his eyes. He was extremely ashamed. They sat quiet for first few minutes. Bill was expressionless the whole way. Tom secretively glanced at him with the corner of his eyes over and over and prayed for apology in his mind. The cruiser reached in their block "Sir, you can stop the cruiser. We'll walk the rest way. It's near from here" Bill uttered. He was tremendously polite. The officer stopped the cruiser "Hmm, okay but make sure this kind incidents won't happen next time"
"God promise" Bill grinned. The officer smiled. Bill opened the door. Tom did the same. They came out of the cruiser together. The officer started the car. In blinks it was further and further away. Bill and Tom silently walked alongside. Tom could not gather the courage or shamelessness to talk. Bill was quiet. All of a sudden he burst into laughter and started clapping his hands. Tom was shocked. His jaws dropped apart. "Man that was crazy! What an adventure" Bill giggled.
"What?" Tom gasped in disbelief "Aren't you angry with me? I nearly broke your bike"         
"No, why would I be angry? Look Tom, these small accidents happen sometime though I never had an accident until tonight. I was always a careful bike rider and of course a driver too. I drive dad's car when I go to New York" Bill shrugged "But I've dreamt to meet an accident and you made my dream come true"
Tom was more than shocked now "Huh! Why didn't you smash yourself under a truck by yourself then?"
"Because, I was scared to do so. What if I die and 'the end'" Bill giggled. Tom chuckled "Yet I'm extremely sorry for breaking your bike"
"Either I'm sorry for pushing you while riding the bike. I should've told you with cool mind. I just….panicked you know" Bill sighed.
"No that's alright" Tom grinned. Bill smiled back. They were in front of Bill's house now. They walked in together. Bill unlocked the door. "You go, I'll get Tomi" Bill said and ran to the neighbors. Tom entered. He was outright tired like hell. He kept the helmet on the couch and walked up the stairs. He went to his bedroom and grabbed his clothes out. Meanwhile Bill came in playing with Tom, his dog. Tom heard from upstairs. He took shower. Here Bill went to his bedroom and went to take shower leaving Tom lying on his bed. In a few minutes Tom came out of the bathroom and jumped on the bed. He left a deep sigh and took a big yawn. Tonight everything was different including the police event. He recalled every single moment in his mind. A slight smile spread down his face. He sighed with a peace in his chest. At the same time his cell phone started ringing. Tom jumped "Gosh!" he rolled his eyes and grabbed it from his side. At the screen, the caller ID was Simone. Tom sighed in relief and answered the call "Hey mom"
"How are you and where are you?" Simone asked worriedly. She always stays worried for her son. Who knows if he had eaten anything?  
Tom laughed a bit "Fine mom. I've got a new friend, Bill. For now I'm staying with him. Both of us are searching for a place for me to live…… on balance I'm doing well. How about you, mom?"
He heard his mother sighing in relief "Hmm, I'm fine but Jörg is mad at you. He's searching crazily for you. He still thinks that you're in Chicago. I'm afraid soon he's gonna reach you but I pray he fails to do so"  
"Don't worry mom. Everything will be fine" Tom tried comfort her.
Simone nodded "I miss you so much honey. I don't feel like staying here. You sure you're fine?"
"Yeah, mom. Of course. Bill's such a nice guy. You'd be glad to meet him though he looks unique" he chuckled recalling his new friend. Simone smiled. "Does dad yell at you?" Tom asked although he knew the answer. "Most of times" Simone uttered sadly. Tom grimaced "I hate him"
Simone sighed "Calm down honey. After all he's your father"
"Yeah, right" Tom scoffed hatefully. "Where is he now?" He asked.
"He's in his study room right now. You know sometimes he sleeps late. He has asked three of his police friends to look for you. I'm so scared. Be careful anywhere you go and don't trust unknown people especially who are from other cities" Simone warned. Tom nodded "Hmm, alright. Hey mom, I'm so sleepy. Can we talk tomorrow?" tom sounded like a five year old child. Simone chortled "Sure honey. Good night. Momma loves you"
Tom laughed "I know, right? Love ya too. Bye" and hung up.
He sighed. Even he misses his mother and his best friend Greg. He must be very worried for him. And Jörg has surely irritated him a lot to know where his son is. Tom licked his lip ring thinking about them. He could not sleep anymore even after being worn-out like hell. He was worried as well. Today was good but who knows about the tomorrow.  

Next morning,
Tom was fully dressed up in his baggy clothes. Bill had told him that they were going out today. The only problem was Tom's hair was open. It was long and jet black. It reached to his upper waist but it looks smaller with cornrows. He felt like a vagabond girl with open hair. Bill ran downstairs with Tom dog. "Ha ha here I am" he said cheerfully. He had a wide grin on his face. Tom dog's neck collar's chain was wrapped around his index finger. Tom laughed "So where and how are we going?"
Bill raised his eyebrows "Dude we're gonna walk. My bike is in the garage. Mechanic says it'll take three days to get repaired" he giggled while talking. Tom sighed "It's all my fault"
Bill clucked his tongue "Shut up Tom. We're just going out for a walk. You know…..my boy loves it" he shrugged.
Tom narrowed his eyes confusingly "Your boy?"
Bill rolled his eyes "Ugh! Tomi, my dog"
"Oh…eeh" Tom made an uninterested face. Bill giggled. He shouldered Tom "Let's go. We're going to supermarket too. I have to get some groceries"
Tom nodded. He walked out of the house. Bill followed after him. He locked the door behind. Tom, Bill and Tom headed for the park near their block.
Tom was lying on the grassland of the park with his arms folded under his head. Bill was sitting next to him. His knees were pulled up and arms wrapped around his legs. He was watching his dog playing with a kid's pet dog. He was enjoying the scene. The pets were playing with a ball. Sometimes the ball came to Bill. Bill laughed and threw it back to the dogs. He treats his Tom dog as his own son. He loves him like a family member. Tom was staring up at the open bright sky. The nature was incredible and heart soothing. Tom closed his eyes. He took and left deep breaths. Bill once noticed him. He knew it was not a good time to disturb him. Then Bill too lay next to Tom at the same position and closed his eyes. They did not realize they were asleep until Tom dog came and awoke them. Bill rubbed his forehead drowsily and peeked at his wristwatch. It was 12:35 PM. Even Tom peeked at his wristwatch. Bill chuckled "We were sleeping"
Tom laughed "Let's go to your supermarket"
"Hmm" Bill stood dusting his back. He took Tom dog's chain in his hand. Tom got up. They headed for the supermarket walking.
Okay here's ready chapter five...
