Minutes after Miguel was wheeled away to the hospital, parents of students started to show up.
Mrs. Moskowitz drove her son and the girl who was like daughter to her to the hospital, where they could check to make sure their injuries weren't anything serious. The whole car ride there, Emmy couldn't stop crying. All she could think about was how her telling Tory led to Miguel on the brink of death. If Miguel died, it was her fault.
"I'm gonna go check on Eli. Are you gonna be ok by yourself?" Emmy numbly nodded as the nurse checked her face bruises. Mrs. Moskowitz left to check on her son, and Emmy sat there not sure what to feel.
"Alright. Your jaw seems to be in a bit of a weird place, but it's gonna have to heal on it's own. There is severe bruising on your back, so I recommended that you take it easy, and avoid heavy duty tasks. I've already clean and bandaged the cuts on your arm, so when ⎯ "
"What cuts?" Emmy turned to the nurse with a frown. She didn't remember getting cut in the fight.
The nurse raised her arm, showing a large bandage on her left arm. "These ones."
The younger girl observed it, racking through her brain to try and figure out where it came from. Then, she remembered when she went to check on Tory when she went over the railing, Tory wasn't holding the spike bracelet anymore. She must have accidentally cut herself when she bent down to help her.
"Oh," was all she could say.
The nurse put her arm down. "But other than that, you are free to go. You can stop by the pharmacy to pick up your pain medication."
Emmy nodded. "Okay. Thank you." She got a nod return.
Stepping out of the room, Emmy felt a little odd. She had never been at a hospital for her own injuries before and normally just sat in the waiting room while texting Eli and Demetri.
There were so many people running and walking around, holding clipboards, pushing people in wheelchairs, talking with families, etc.
She walked with a slight limp as Sam had kicked her roughly in the knee and walked past a series of doors. Trying to find Hawk's room, she looked through the window of every door. When she got to a particular one, she felt herself start to tear up.
Sam was sitting on a hospital bed and their parents were standing around her, comforting her.
Emmy forgot that she had fought ruthlessly with Sam for reasons like this and she pushed the door open, making everyone turn.
Daniel immediately stood up from the bed, staring at his youngest daughter wide eyed. Amanda brought a hand to her face, eyes tearing up as she looked at the state of her youngest daughter.
Her mind then started replaying her entire life before her eyes, but she swallowed it up, and walked further into the room. She was stood by the foot of Sam's hospital bed, not being able to bring herself to look at her.
