Chapter 41 Summary: “The Injury”

Felton finds Andrew in his room using his computer and tells him to leave, saying he cannot handle any more of Andrew and Jerri’s drama. Andrew, filthy and emotional, responds that Felton deserted him and Jerri and does not care about their dad.

At weight training, Ken Johnson pushes down on one side of the weight bar just as Felton is lifting. Cody, who was spotting Felton, was distracted, but could not have stopped Ken regardless. Felton compensates with his other side, loses balance, and falls off the weight bench just as the weights crash down. Felton’s back is badly injured. Cody and the others angrily shout at Ken, who stands mutely. His father, Coach Johnson, is furious and kicks Ken out. Coach and asks if Felton needs to go to the hospital. Felton says no, but thinks he is not okay. Cody offers to drive him home.

Cody comments that Ken only thinks about himself and is not a good teammate. Felton thinks that Ken tried to kill him. Cody agrees and wants to tell his policeman father, but Felton does not want to deal with Ken again. Felton is panicky about recuperating in his house with all the screaming and crying and not being able to run or do his route.
