Just help me.â€? replied Fay. “OK…â€? sighed Sophia, she held out her hand and pulled Fay into a sitting position. Then she kneeled at her side and put Fay’s arm around her shoulder, “OK, on three, one… two…â€? Sophia counted, “Three!â€? They rose up until Fay was standing up straight. “Your really short.â€? Sophia smirked. “Thanks.â€? said Fay, looking away so Sophia didn’t see the pain on her face. Everyone was looking at them now. “Hey Fay, are you OK?â€? Said Marco looking her over carefully. She turned her painful face into her usual cheerful expression. “Ya, I’m fine, never felt better! Let me try to walk Soph.â€? Fay asked. “OK, but I’m not letting go of you, and someone else should be on the other side of you, just in case.â€? Said Sophia sternly. “I’ll do it,â€? said Abigail getting up.
