Chapter 6

Nurse's p.o.v.

"I have a patient whose husband died in a car crash, her daughter has two broken legs, and she has suffered a minor concussion."

"How did you find this out?" Dr.Pappone asks.

I explained to her the situation. She looked less than happy. "That sounds like one of the worst cases we've had. I need to know more. Do you think I could talk to the daughters when they get back?"

"Yes of course. But you can't mention anything to them. They're such nice girls. This would break their hearts," I replied. Those poor things. They don't deserve this.  I need to help. 

Sarah's P.O.V

I turn to corner to find Joey Smith looking back at me.

"What are you doing here?" I say out of shock and surpise.

"Well, I was in a car accident and broke my leg! What about you?" He says jokingly.

"Whatever," I say quietly.

"Wanna come to the park with us?" Emma volunteers. I can not believe her! She knows I like him. It's gonna be so awkward.

"Sure. Let me ask my nurse to make sure it's okay with him," He replies.

When he's out of earshot I reprimand my sister. "How could you do this to me you know I like him," I shout in a whisper.

"I know, That's why I did it," She say excitedly.

He comes back holding both his crutches in one hand, extending the other," Shall we?"

I can't believe this. It doesn't matter if I've had a crush on him all year. He killed my father. Okay, maybe it wasn't on purpose, but still. He shouldn't have been texting while driving. I...I...I don't know what to feel towards him anymore.

I smack his arm seeing that not only can I not walk but I also do not want him to know he has ANYTHING over me.  

"Alrighty then," He sighs.

We walk out of the hospital. Well, one of us walks, one of us hobbles, and one of us is pushed. We cross the street, past the dreaded intersection, and across the field to the park.

Emma helps me out of the wheelchair and onto a swing. Luckily, no one else is here. Joey sets his crutches on the ground and sits on the swing next to me. Emma grabs the third one on the other side of Joey.

"Soooo..." I say.

"Soooo..." Joey repeats.

"You two are so cute together," Emma says jokingly. I want to punch her in the throat.

"ARE NOT!" We both shout. We laugh. We're acting like two year olds. It's nice for a change. We've had to be so grown up lately, dealing with the weight of the world on our shoulders.

We stay at the park for a good hour or so talking and giggling like the accident never even happened. Emma helps me out of the swing and back into the vehicle of death. Joey tries to push me but falls into the dirt laughing. Emma helps him up and I stick my arm out to help him gain balance. He isn't looking and grabs my hand by mistake. I felt a rush of adrenaline through my veins when our hand connected. I think he did too because he held on for a second before letting go.

He stands up and...
