Just A Small Bruise

I sat there playing my guitar not really paying attention to what was going on. I was totally embarassed about the fall at the concert hall. And what’s worse I was in serious pain. I hadn’t mentioned it but when I hit the stage I hit it pretty hard on my left leg. There was a bruise forming on it.
“Hey, you guys want some soda?” Joe asked, getting up.

“Oww!” I cried. I couldn’t help it.
“Aww, come on Wes. I barely touched you.” he said, smiling. Then he looked closely at me. “Wes, did you hurt yourself when you fell?”
“Um, no.” I lied hiding my leg with my guitar.
Kevin got up. “Wes.
“Well, a little-its nothing just a small bruise.”
“Let me see.” Kevin said.
“I’m fine. I promise.” I assured him.
“Wes, let me see!” he insisted.
I sighed and moved the guitar from my leg. The bruise was highly visible because I was wearing shorts.

“OMJ.” Emily said.
“Well-”
