Layla's story

Ch10

My eyes felt very heavy as I tried to open them. I could hear my mom in the back ground. She did not sound happy. It sounded like she was talking to a doctor. I tried to look for Chris but he was not anywhere in the room. I felt my heart drop of course my mom would be in this. I could slightly hear her. I heard the door open. Mom looked at who was coming in. I did not know who it was. I tried to open my eyes. They opened a little more. I felt tired. I went back to sleep for a hour or so then woke up later on. My head hurt. I tried to get up to go to the bathroom but I felt a rush of pain in my head so I laid back down. It was really quiet until I heard him.
"Guys she's awake." My mom rushed into the room.
"What the hell is wrong with you. You told me you would be home at 8:00. I waited but when the hospital called... I got so worried." I felt like I was going to laugh. I wanted to but I held it in. I did not want to upset my mom anymore.
"Mom I'm fine." Chris walked forward. Next to me and looked at my mom. This was weird.
"This is my fault. I invited her to go ride a horse and let her ride by herself on her second try. I'm sorry Mrs. Fiyers." My mom looked at him with disgust.
"Layla I want to stay away from him. I don't want you near him anymore. Got me layla." I felt a growl down my throat.
"No you can't do that. It wasn't his fault. It was mine. I choose to go with him. I said yes to trying it my second time." I felt tears running down my face.
"Layla its ok. Its not your fault. It was mine. I was stupid to ask you to ride horses when you never have. I'm sorry to you both." He started to walk out of the room. I did the same thing I did when Hardin left. I froze. I could not say anything or do anything. I just watched him walk out the door. I knew at that moment my life was over. It had been crushed by my moms words.
