We've been home for about 3 days and it's about 9 o'clock at night and I'm making a fruit salad. My fruit salads consist of peaches, pineapples, strawberries, apples, grapes, and bananas. I have everything but the pineapple cut up and in the bowl so that is what I'm doing right now. As I'm cutting the pineapple I sneeze and accidentally push the knife down, slicing something. I lift my head up and continue cutting the pineapple when I feel immense pain in my finger. I look down and see that I cut pretty deep into it and it's bleeding pretty bad.

"MOM" I shout freaking out looking for a towel

"Shit, shit, shit" I mumble to myself not being able to find a towel

"MOM" I shout out in desperate need of help as I continue to look for a towel

I continue searching for another two minutes and there is still no sign of my mom.

Right as I'm about to scream for help Connor walks through the garage door and straight into my mess of fruit and blood.

"What the hell happened," he asks dropping all of his stuff onto the counter and over to me

"I was cutting pineapple and I sneezed while in the middle of slicing a piece but I complete missed and cut my finger" I cry out

"Okay, okay let me see," he says taking my hand a looking at my finger poking around

He gets a little to close for my liking so I let out a whimper of pain and he pulls his hand away

"Did that hurt?" he asks

In reply, I just shake my head yes.

"We need something to stop the bleeding so I can take you to the hospital," he says letting go grabbing a towel that was hanging from the oven.

"What about mom and dad?" I ask quietly

"Let me call mom, I can't leave you right now," he says running over to his phone and finding mom's contact

It rings 4 times before to answers,

"Hey honey, are you almost home"

"I'm home but I need to take Addi to the hospital she sliced her finger to the point of wear it's almost not attached anymore," he says giving me new information which resulted in a whimper from me

"Oh lord how did she do that?" she asks in a panicked tone

"She was cutting up what looks like pineapple for her fruit salad and she said she sneezed in the middle of slicing a piece but completely missed and cut her finger instead" he explains leading me out into the garage to get to the driveway where his car is.

"Honey just hold on I'm outside with the Anderson's I'll come in and take her," she says

"No mom I'll do it we are already at the car and if we wait any longer it could have a worse outcome, I need to take her in now," he says helping me get in the car before running to the driver's side and getting in.

"Okay just call me when you have an update please," she says sounding defeated and upset

"I will don't worry mom I know the doctors there and she will be fine," he says softly

"I know just take care of her please"

"Don't worry I will, bye" he says before hanging up and driving off towards the hospital

"Okay bug can you move it at all?" he asks me

I try to move it but can not do I shake my head no
