The accidemt.

Today was the day. My second rodeo. Sam took the day off to be there. We got to the rodeo grounds early. He met up with Jack and everyone. I met up with dad. He got me all registered. "The horse you got is a real bucker," he said. "I got this," I said. I was a second to last person to ride. I was getting ready to go up. I was standing on the shute. My heart was racing. "You got this," said Tim. He patted me on the back. I got onto the horse. I grabbed the rope. Then shook my head. The shut door opened and the horse was a real bucking horse. "10 seconds," said the announcement. I kept on going. Then the horse finally bucked me off. I fell to the ground. I got up and went running back over to dad. "First place Alexis Flemming," the crowed cheered. I got my mojo back. Dad gave me a pat on the back. He touched my bad shoulder. And I groaned in pain. "Hey you ok," asked Tim. "Just my bad shoulder," I said. He had a concern look on his face. "You did take a pretty hard fall," said Tim. I got my new buckle and my prize money. My shoulder was still pretty sore. Sam came running to me. He hugged me tight. That's when I screamed in pain. I grabbed my right shoulder. "Ok Lexi your getting that shoulder looked at," said Tim. Sam stopped hugging me. I looked at dad. "Good idea," I said. Sam and dad walked me back to the truck. Sam got in and took me to the hospital. I was sitting in the hospital bed. Sam was standing next to me. "Great no rodeo for months," I said. "It's just minor surgery," he said. I was still bummed out about it. We heard a knock on the door. Sam went to see who it was. It was dad and the family. They walked in. "How is our girl," asked Tim. They had me drugged out. "She needs surgery," said Sam. I was sitting up in the bed. Dad kissed me on the head. "This is stupid," they looked at me. "I know," said Tim. This happened at the worst time. We had everything for the wedding. "When they doin the surgery," asked Jack. "Sometime today," said Sam. Amy and Lou walked over to the bed. They each gave me a hug. "I'm so high right now," they all laughed. Dad put his han in my head. "I'm sorry you got hurt," said Tim. "It's not your fault," I said. I started to get sleepy. "We come back tomorrow ok," said Jack. He gave me a kiss on the head. "Ok," I said. They all left. As soon as they did they took me to surgery. Sam was waiting in the room. He was talking to his mom. She lived in new york.

    I was now in recovery. My arm in a sling. My shoulder was all wrapped up. Sam was sitting by my bed. I opened my eyes. I looked over and saw Sam. "Hey baby," he looked over at me. "How you feeling," asked Sam. "I'm ok,". He kisses my hand. I licked my lips. "You thristy," asked sam. "Yeah," . I said. He got up and went and got me some water. He walked back over and he put the straw in my mouth. I took a sip of water. "Thanks," . I said. He kisses me on the forehead. He put the cup down on the table next to the bed. I closed my eyes and fell back to sleep. The next day. Sam was asleep in his chair. Dad decided to drop by. He was holding flowers. Dad saw me sitting up in bed. I was watching Tv. "Look who is up," said tim. I looked at the doorway. He was holding red roses. My favorite. "Hey dad,". I said. He walked in. He had the flowers in the vase. "He stayed all night," said tim. "Yeah and he has a shift today," . I said. Dad put the flowers on the table. "Sam wake up," said tim. He nearly pushed Sam out of the chair. "What time is it," asked Sam. He rubbed his eyes. "Almost time for shift," i said. He looked over at me. "Im not going," said Sam. "Babe your a lieutenant you have to," i said. He didnt want to argue with me. Dad looked at him. "I will stay with her," said tim. "Good," said sam. He kissed me goodbye and left. Dad went and sat down in the chair. "How is the pain," he asked. "Not to bad," i said. "Thats good," said tim. I started to get upset. "Our wedding is ruined," i said. Dad looked at me. "How," he asked. I wipes my eyes with my left arm. "Im gonna be in this thing for six months," i said. Dad looked at me. "And your wedding is three months away," said Tim. "How am i gonna do this dad," i said. "Hey dont stress out ok it will be fine," said tim. I hope henis right. Yesterday we finished the last thing before the wedding. Now wejust have ti wait.
