She whispered to me. “I love your cast, too, Ruby. Besides, it’ll be off before you know it. Things may end up being better than you think.”

When Dr. Wells finished with my cast, we all left the room. Marcellus had his head down. “Marcellus, it’s okay. Really it is.” I tugged on his arm with my good hand.

“I’m just so sorry, ladybug. I’m supposed to protect you and keep you from getting hurt,” he said, moping. “I didn’t do a good job, did I?”

I wrapped my good arm around Marcellus’s waist and then gave him a little hug. “I know you were just trying to help. I’m not mad at you.”

Marcellus hugged me back and said, “You’re not mad? Good.”

I told Marcellus, “I can handle the cast.” I raised my arm up as high as I could (which wasn’t that high). “It’s really Ruby-licious. Everybody at school will love it, don’t you think?”

“They sure will. Let’s go home, ladybug.” He grabbed my good hand and we walked out of the hospital together.
