Chapter 5 text

As I got dressed in my room I saw Finny's "triumphant" pink shirt, and the shirt to me symbolized troops being bombed in Europe. Which reminded me of the war and how he was thinking of enlisting with Leper. Today was the day that I could see Finny and see how he was doing after the accident. As I was talking to the doctor he told me that Finny’s leg will recover enough for him to walk again but that he will no longer be able to play sports. After I thought about what the doctor said I started crying because I realized how bad it really was. Before the doctor left to go back to work he told me that Finny asked to see me personally. At first I thought that Finny was going to accuse me and make me feel bad but I went to see him anyways. As we started talking about the tree Finny said all he remembered was losing his balance and looking at me to help him but it was too late and he fell into the river. I simply nodded my head and agreed with him cause I really didn't know what had happened. Finny said to me that he could never accuse me of something like that. He made it seem like I would never do something like that cause we were best friends and no matter what happened it would never go that far. While I was standing there watching his lips move I had no idea whether to nod or tell him the truth that I couldn't remember if I pushed him out of the tree or not. The more and more I thought about it I realized that if Finny believed that I didn't push him then I believed it too.
