Oblivious

Chapter 7

Ethan and Grayson were going to ride there dirt bikes and Jake was going to ride the four wheeler. Now I just had to decide on who to ride with. "Madison you can ride with me on my dirt bike." Ethan said. "Or with me on the four wheeler." Jake suggested. "I'll ride with Jake for now since there's more room." I say. Jake smiles and I get on the back of the four wheeler. "Madison wear a helmet just in case." Ethan said as he held out a helmet for me to take. I raised my eyebrows at him. "Y'all aren't wearing helmets. I'll be fine." I say as I pushed the helmet away from me. "Just wear it." Ethan said. "No the only reason you want me to wear it is because I'm a girl." I say. Ethan huffed but put the helmet down. Jake climbed onto the four wheeler. "Have you rode on one before?" He asked. "Yeah. I use to have one before I moved here." I say. "Alright well hold on." Jake said. I wrapped my arms around his chest and we were off.

We have been riding around for a while so I let go of Jake and leaned back. I grabbed the bars in the four wheeler so I wouldn't fall off. "Having fun?" Jake shouted over the wind. "Absolutely!" I yell back. We were going pretty fast which I love. I love the feeling of the wind against my skin it just makes me feel free. Grayson and Ethan were in head of Jake and I. We were riding on a trail through the woods. I was having a blast. Jake hit a rock or something which causes my hands to let go of the bars. I quickly tried to grab them again but he hit another bump that caused me to fly off the back of the four wheeler. I hit the ground and groaned in pain. I heard the four wheelers engine cut off and soon Jake was by my side. "Oh my gosh are you ok?" He asked. He was clearly freaking out. I smile. "That was hilarious." I say before I start to laugh. I heard someone come running up to us. "What the hell happened?" I sat up to see Ethan. "I fell off." I say. At that point Grayson came running up behind Ethan. "Are you ok?" Grayson asked. "Guys I'm fine. I'm probably just going to have a few bruises." I say. "Jake what the hell! You were supposed to keep her safe and not let her fall off!" Ethan started yelling. "Ethan chill it was my fault I let go of him." I say. "Don't try to defend him. He was driving and you were his responsibility." Ethan yelled at me. "Ethan I am fine let it go it's not his fault so stop yelling at him." I yell back at him. "Madison it s my fault I'm sorry." Jake said. I look over at him. "It's not your fault Ethan's just being a jerk." I said the last part as I looked at Ethan. "Let just go. I want to ride some more." I say. Ethan stormed away. "Are you sure you're ok?" Grayson asked. I nodded my head. Nothing hurt anymore. Grayson nodded his head before walking away. I heard Ethan's bike start up and drive away. I rolled my eyes. He was over exaggerating. Jake stood up and extended his hand to me.

I took Jake's hand and he pulled me up. As soon as I put weight on my left ankle I cried out in pain. I looked down at it to see that it was really swollen. "Your ankle does not look too good. We should go back it might be broken." Jake said. "No it's fine let's just go." I say. The four wheeler was about 30 feet away. Great. I started to walk towards the four wheeler but once I stepped with my left foot I cried out in pain. It really hurt. Jake scooped me up in his arms. "What are you going?" I asked. "You clearly can't walk." He said. He was right. Jake carried me back to the four wheeler. He started it but instead of going forward and following the twins he started to turn around. "Jake I said I was fine!" I said. "You can't even walk. I'm taking you to the hospital." He said. There was no point in arguing so I just wrap my arms around his chest and laid my head against his back.

About 30 minutes later we were back at Ethan and Grayson's house. Jake quickly got off the four wheeler and picked me up. He jogged to the front of his house and too his car. Jake was 16 (just pretend) so he could drive. He sat my in the passenger seat then jogged to the drivers seat. We arrived at the hospital 20 minutes later. Jake opened my door and carried me inside. He sat me down before going to the front desk. I guess I should call my aunt. I dialed her number. After a few rings she picked up. "Hey baby girl what up?" She said. "I'm at the hospital. I think I broke my ankle." I said. "Oh dear. I can't leave work but have the hospital send the bills to me. What happened?" She asked. Jake came back and sat next to me. "I fell of a four wheeler." I said. I heard my aunt sigh. "You were always the clumsy one. I have to go. I love you bye!" She hung up before I could say any thing. "Is your mom mad?" Jake asked. Him asking if my mom was mad made my heart ache. "Um it was my aunt actually. And no she's not mad." I say. "Shouldn't you tell your parents?" Jake asked. I took in a deep breath. "No my parents died in a car accident." I say. "Oh I am so sorry I didn't know." Jake says. I smile at him. "It's ok. What did the lady say?" I asked. "She said it will be a short wait no more than 10 minutes then they will give you an x-ray." Jake said. I nodded my head. I laid my head on Jake's shoulder and he laid his head on top of mine. We stayed like that till the nurse calls my name.

The nurse had a wheel chair. I had to get in the wheel chair and the nurse rolled me to the doctors room. Jake followed behind us. Once in the doctors room I had to sit on the table and wait for the doctor. Jake sat next to me and we talked about nothing really until the doctor came in. "Ok let's have a look. I'm Dr.Horning by the way." He said. Dr.Horning sat in a chair in front of my foot and he gently started to take my shoe off. I hissed in pain. "You might want to hold on to her hand Mr.Boyfriend." Dr.Horning said. Jake and I didn't correct him. "So when's your birthday?" The doctor asked, trying to make small talk as he touched my ankle and I squeezed Jake's hand. Man my ankle hurts. "March 3rd." I say. "Oh well happy birthday." I was really confused. I checked my phone. Today was March 3rd. "You didn't know it was your birthday?" Jake asked. "Nope but I'm officially 15 now!" I said excitedly. Jake chuckled. Gosh his cute.

After the x-rays and stuff Jake and I had to wait. We talked about all our favorite things till the doctor came back. "Ok well it's definitely broken. So we are going to put a cast on and you're going to be on crutches for about 6 weeks. What color do you want your cast to be?" The doctor asked. "Lime green!" I say. Lime green was my all time favorite color. This was actually the first time I've broken a bone so I was oddly excited. The doctor left and soon came back in and started to put the cast on.

Jake and I finally left the hospital. He carried me to the car again and drove back to Ethan and Grayson's house. When we got in the drive way Ethan and Grayson came running out of the house. "Uh Jake did you tell them?" I asked. "No I thought you did." He said looking at me. "Whoops." I say. Ethan threw my car door open. "Where were you guys?" He yelled. "The hospital. I broke my ankle." I say. I grab my crutches and get out of the car. "Why didn't you tell us?" Ethan continued to yell. "Ethan stop yelling we just forgot." I say. Jake came to my side. "Sorry man." Jake said. "This is your fault." Ethan yelled. "Sor-" Jake was cut off by Ethan punching him.
